any locations or tips please

 Just thought I'd mention something that is going on at the moment at Fisheries.

There is a series of proposals on size limit changes which are quite interesting IMO.  For example they are proposing to abolish max size limit for estuary and malabar cod (divers wont be happy) abolishing minimum size limit for blue groper, black arse, baldchin, all mackerel, samsons, yellowtail kings and amberjack and removing the "no more than 2 black bream above 40cm" rule.  I think some of these changes are rather stupid - some are not.  Pink snapper size reduction to 450mm and 380mm north of lancelin, increase in mulloway min size to 700 mm - anyway comments need to be in before 23rd of december - there is a link to the paper here.  http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/Documents/management_papers/fmp280.pdf 

 Hey fellas,

Recently i just bought a 5.45 meter boat and recently went offshore in Dunsborough to go fishing but only found myself with sandy grounds with minimal structure. If someone could give me any good advice on where to go it would be greatly appreciated. Just wondering also about the 'Wright Bank' looks like great to go fishing ? 

Thanks

 I'm looking for someone to bend up and weld a rocket launcher out of 1" ally to suit 5.3m Trailcraft.

if anyone on here is willing to quote or has any recommendations that won't break the bank please let me know. Cheers 

hi everyone,

i have an uncle from New Zealand coming over and he loves fishing. I thought I would take him down to the beach for some early morning tailor. I will be using the basic paternoster rig with mulies but I was just wondering where the tailor are firing currently?

 Edit: anywhere north of the river is fine and willing to get up early to get a fish in before sunrise

thanks,

lachie

Hey my mate and I are off to Jurien in a few weeks. Was wondering if anyone has tried fishing the headland about 15 km north of Jurien. If yes, how do you get there? As we can't see any tracks on google earth. Also, how was the fishing up there, is it worth the drive?

Silly Question But Does Herring Make Good Cray Bait??

What suggestions would anyone have as the "BEST" bait.

Cheers lads.

 G'day 

Haven't seen many (any) posts about Tuna, Mackies and Kings in the last month. Anyone been getting out there and dragging some lures around in recent weeks?

We are going to launch the tub tomorrow and hopefully wrangle a few inshore pelagics. Done quite well the last couple of years, but have found it starts firing around the start of Jan, and will generally fire inshore before offshore. Two summers ago we were catching 6-8 kings a trip, last year we got only 1 all season. But managed heaps of Tuna and our first metro mackie. 

Anyone got into any pelagics yet?

 Hi guys,

call me a softy but I'd like to know what is the best way to put crayfish to sleep. At the moment I bring them home and put them straight in the freezer in a shopping bag. A mate told me to snap off there antennas and wrap them tight. But I just put them in loosely and snap them off and wrap tight later. Is this the best way?

Enjoy

Hey guys,

got my mind set on buying a Garmin 95sv sounder/plotter combo. A friend of mine has one and he loves it! Anyone else got one or had experience with this unit and any feedback would be great. Biggest question do I go chirp or not? Not 100% convinced chirp sounders  are better? Thanks

Trying to buy some pencil gardies for the point. These take little helium to get lift and do well on mackies.  They are normally around the bait shops but we can't find any atm.  If you see some please let me know where.  I'm not after the big gardies but slim one with 14-16 to the kg packet.

NOR would be great

Cheers

Just wondering if there is any Ali welders on here that could look at welding a couple of cracks in hull on keel line and chine.
If not can anyone recommend one, preferably SOR but not essential. Cheers

Chasing some advice on what people's thoughts are on the furuno 588?

I know everyone raves on about the 587 but is the 588 worth the money with the 1kw or are there better performing and better value units now

Ill mainly be fishing the 40s but also chasing sambos in the 100s

Thanks
