Fits 4 big rods in.  Mrs donated me some old pillow cases to wrap the rods with so they dont move around inside the tube during transport.  

100mm tube, cut to my longest peice of rod (8' Live Fibre).  Straps are donated from a Woolies bag and sewn around hose clamps. 

What do you guys think?  

 Hey guys 

Recently I have moved from the east coast to the west coast, and its pretty hard going from knowing lots of great spots gained over years of trying to absolutely nothing.

Not trying to get secret spots from anyone, more trying to find areas to avoid in the perth region ( I have heard that fishing around Perth can be a bit of a dud). Any advice is appreciated on this, also I have to find a new tackle store, I am living in Wembley downs and something close would be lovely but dont mind travelling.

On top of this if anyone is keen to go for a flick let me know, I use lures 98% of the time and really only use bait in the surf, I love estuary fishing and am mostly a landbased fisherman although I do have a Yak.

Thanks guys

left hillarys at sparrows with Gareth,tried hale rd for an under sized pinkie, thought time to go, went down to the salmon reefs, nothing doing, put the pick down and it went off with the burly, salmon, big skips and tahwine up to 40cm and a few under sized pinkies, went to mewstone, boats everywhere getting in each others way, found a little reef nearby and it was salmon mayhem again,great run home,may try rotto on Friday.

I had most of the materials lying around and thought it might come in handy for a Dunsborough salmon day trip we had planned.

Version 1: worked well but the end caps were hard to get off and ended up losing one late in the day.  Definitely worked though as the school was out of casting range for a while until this was used. Like magic, the school made a b-line for the shore and the entire beach was hooked up!  Awesome :)

 

 

 

Has anyone had any experience (good or otherwise) with the above product (see link below)?
It really seems too good to be true?

 Just booked a 5 day trip to the Abrolhos Islands with blue lightning charters in 2 weeks. How's everyone been going up there fishing wise? And also I'd like to buy and take a selection of jigs up there anyone got any suggestions on styles/ certain jigs and soft plastics that work well up there. Can't wait to go !!!

Thanks 

Hey everyone im just looking for a bit of info on kayakin big baits out, ive got a bunch of big salmon heads and im trying to decide how to rig them. So far im going with a 22/0 circle bridle rigged through the eyes. This has worked for me when ballooning but im wondering how this will go on the bottom. Can anyone share some experiences doing this, eg: was a sinker needed or the weight of the head was enough to anchor it. Also trying to decide the best size bait for this, just big enough to avoid large rays would be perfect but I know there is some enormous black rays that wouldn't have trouble eating a large salmon head so I'll just have to deal with them

Thanks Luke

 having a problem attaching new photos to a post im trying to put up, keeps coming up with an error ans says try reloading page ect.
am i doing something wrong or othrs with issues

 Hi guys

stupid question but when one goes beach fishing, is there a specific spot that will always produce fish? I'm thinking of driving around and looking for those "gutters". i'd assume gutters are never consistently in the same spot 

If i drive around and look for gutters, it will be time consuming and dependant on whether the area is populated or not

My question is, do you have any tips for someone new to beach fishing and desperate for a decent catch

thanks!

We are going to Shark Bay at the end of this week. Can anyone tell me if the flies have been blown away by cyclone quang or are they still there? Thanks in advance, Whowalks 

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in getting a 5m+ boat in and out at the beach launching spot near the Blowholes huts?

My old 8500ss has sat on the shelf for 2 years after blowing the brass dogs and ratchet for about the 3rd time.  Took ages but i finally tracked down someone who makes and sells them in stainless/titanium.  Also the ratchet has been upgraded to a 16 tooth (original 6 tooth) to take the backlash out of a big hit.

I have just put it together and although now it is noisier i am hoping it is a proper fix,  and yes the old brass dogs did let me down on fishing trips.

 Hey,

Hi Guys

Im heading up to Coral Bay in two weeks (luckily just after the cyclone will hit) and I am taking up my Dingy for the first time. Im only looking like staying inside the reef but want to know where some good spots will be and what jigs/bait are catching the fish!!!

 Evening folks.

Has anyone noticed if the salmon have moved far north from Cockburn Sound yet? 

 Hi FW, starting work in Port Headland and was wondering if there's any bream,trevally in the creeks around town? Just want to flick a few lures around but transport is limited. Any advice appreciated. Cheers BRG

 just found this on facebook this shit should be reported to fisheries 

 Gday all, find myself in Darwin for the weekend, with a 2wd and a bag of lures. have done a bit of searching for spots etc, but if any one would like to share some tips or spots it would be much appreciated. Cheers!

 going for a fish in freo on sunday will there be any salmon schools there or will there just be the odd stray one? 

 Anyone modified there Diawa reels to Quick Drag? Wondering if this would be benificial especially fishing with bait both dead and live.

Hi all

No affiliation with these guys what so ever - chasing a review from someone that has them, been in a boat fitted with them or seen them.

Ive repowered the 4.2 tinny with a motor 21kgs heavier, transom gets a bit of water over now sitting in rough conditions etc, moved fuel up front to help, didnt fix it, came across these boat collars yesterday, look ugly as sin but thinking this may help out.

waiting on email from them with price. going what they give as a rough guide guessing $1200 for the DIY kit

I've got a 150amp fuse on the anchor winch that has blown repeatedly. I put the first couple of occurrences down to being unfamiliar with the boat in general and probably being too heavy handed when setting the anchor against the bow. I later discovered that I had too much rope and chain for the winch drum and it was wedging tight against the housing the winch sits in if it didn't wrap perfectly. Months go by and all the previous resolved but I still blow the fuse even being extremely careful. Any suggestions as to what might be the cause?

 Had a day out last week, the first for many months & found there are are lots of small undersize dhuies around & not many size. I have noticed this over the last few yrs with the big breeders falling by the wayside. 

Has anyone else seen a pattern here? I think the size limit should be increased. I know plenty of people wont like that comment but realistically if we dont let them get to the breeding size the fishery will fall apart. I think i read somewhere that they need to be 600 plus?

Will be interesting to hear peoples views on this. 

We caught 8 undersize dhuies & couldn't nail a size one. On the up side caught a good Harlequin which i think are on the increase in the last few yrs, baldy, Breaksea & some good skippy.
