Hey Guys, 

i want to buy a medium soft plastic set up for pinkies et I will be taking it to steep point for medium spin/ soft plastic fishing! 

Now I was thinking about the 4000 reel size but there is that many on the market I don't know which one to choose! Was just wondering what people think?  Price around 300! 

Also if people want to sell anything I'm up for all options 

feather 

 If so have you done any good with them?? Any feed back would be good.. Cheers

 hey guys, me and lachieH(fishwrecked member) went again to our secret spot with lots of succsss. We got there and we started dropping prawns down, we dident hook up strait away but after a few drops i caught a small bream, i started getting a few more small bream. Lachie caught his first bream for the day. after ahwile we started running out of prawns so lachi whent to get some small crabs for bait. i lost a massive bream on the live crab. when we ran out i went to get some more crabs, i ended up getting 20 small crabs. we kept geting our livies taken until lachie hoked up to a moster bream at 26cm, he was happy.he got it on the live crab. Then i was waiting to get a pb for myself so i dropped a piece of prawn down and bang!!! hooked up, it sarted taking big runs and almost busting me, lachie got the net and skuped it up. i was stoked at my new pb at 28cm!!! it was relesed succses fully. i also found a dead scaly about to beach untill i picked it up. is rare for scalys to be in the canning? also while crabbing i got a yabbie looking thing, is it a yabbie or shrimp? after all it was a really good day, all was relesed.

if u know this spot can u please not metion it as this is our secret spot.

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone on here make snapper leads that would be willing to sell me some at a reasonable price. Would rather give someone on here a bit of my cash rather than get ripped off by BCF and the likes for them.

Chasing 12, 16, 24, 32 oz sinkers.

Cheers

Another shark attack in Esperance.

 Just looking at a nice combo for the young bloke for Xmas and chasing opinions on the Shimano Stradic Ci4+ versus the  Daiwa Saltist.

Looking at pairing it up with a Gomoku Kaiten or similar.

Both seen like really good reels.

Finally cracked a 1kg Redfin at Harvey Dam, didnt see a single trout though.

 just a warning i took the wife and young fella out in the tinnie in mossie bay and when we got back to the little ramp at mossies about 8.30 some scumdog had run a key down the side of the car .there was a few teenage kidsi hanging around the park there.

Attached is a link to Swellnet where the discussion is based around shark diving tourism and the pro's n cons....

It seems the WA government is meeting with a certain charter operator to look at shark tourism in the West....WTF!!!

I'm definitely an anti chum person, I say shut the fuckwits down.... Tow Rodney fox behind the cage boat around the neptunes so we get some science....

 Heading to Coral Bay Saturday week for a couple of weeks. Haven't been there before but going to take our 6.8 metre boat and try our luck. Understand wind will more than likely blow. Any advice would be appreciated re direction / depth to fish / conditions that are usually okay for out wide. Reseach I've done suggests North passage is easiest to get out through. If wind is blowing is the fishing inside the reef worth a try. Any help appreciated. Thanks 

Hi all,

I am off to Broome for the weekend, have a charter sorted on the Sunday, but have a later arvo free on Friday and Saturday morning. I am flying so have to keep gear down.

Any tips? I know tides are an issue but there for a wedding and so times not negotiable.

Keen on the jetty, any tips? what setup and rigs do you recommend. I only have a standard hire care available.

I tried search function, any other advice would be super.

Any Broome local free to accompany me, more than happy to reward with a carton or whatever.

Neap tides I think will help me a little, and low winds cannot be bad either.

thanks for any help.

Hey, Need to upgrade the hooks on the new C-Gar.  What would you use?  Chasing GT's

 thinking if not friday then def saturday maybe a good day out deep ,anybody else going out from rockingham ,just hope the weather holds so can re stock the freezer before the ban .

 Hi everyone, just after some advice on carnarvon, looking at going up from perth for a weekend, was wondering is there any good mangroves to fish? Mostly after jacks, not really looking at ocean fishing, but I have a 10 footer I'm taking up so I can try some mud crabbing too.

is there anywhere that we can camp that isn't a caravan park? Was hoping to find some where up river, but haven't ever been before so any advice will be appreciated!

hey guys in Kalbarri now, not having much luck at all, have heavy and light gear (surf and boat etc.), tinny access and 4wd, just need help!
cheers

 hi everyone. I am really determined to catch my first tailor off the beach so on the weekend, gonna leave home at 4am and get to yanchep early at 5:30-6am. I'm going to make a lot of rigs to get around the reef and going to use ride with two poppers.

i have 4 questions.

first one is how many rigs should I make for tailor if I stay for about 4 hours?

is it worth having lighter rods out for herring and whiting etc.?

Is it worth working poppers like halco roosters and richter plugs, if so what colours are best?

and I need 2 lure combos and I only have 1. So for my made up lure rod I am using a 6ft 8-25lb rod which should suit but isn't made for surf and as for the reel I have a tom an GTX 3000 (don't know if that is like size 5000 in shimano but it has a 5.2:1 gear ratio and has only 190m of 15lb mono. I do have a lot of spare xtreme 25lb mono that I use for lure fishing with my stradic 5000FJ. It also has a long spool made for long casting but is an ancient reel about 20 years old I think. So should I leave the same line on it or should I spool it with 25lb for 1 fishing adventure then reload it with its old line again?

 hi guys, today me and lachieH (fishwrecked member) whent bream fishing with success. we first tryed fshing the sand flats, i lost a good sized flathead on a prawn and a running sinker, lachie was using softplastics. after about 45mins i caught a small bream. i then saw a school of about 15 bony herring chasing my plastic, mw and lachieH then went to a near by jetty and first cast our baits were getting harrased bye decent sized mullet, after catching heaps of baby bream i then caught 3 22cm bream, i then dropped a tiny piece of prawn down and got my pb swan/canning bream at 26.5cm, i was stoked! then lachie caught a 25cm one. after all it was a awesome day. sorry but this spot is secret and if u know were it is can u please not tell anyone as this is our new secret spot. we caught about 18 today.

 Hey guys just wondering how many of you have used the zerek tamer jigging rods they look pretty good light but some videos show the 1 to 3 pe pulling in sailfish so just wonder what your thoughs are on then 

I may have mentioned this before, but my wife is very tolerant of my obsessive behavior in targeting the pinks.  How many times do I get home early from work, hook the boat up and then get home at 9pm.  After successful missions then there is the inevitable bullsh*%ing about the trip, photos, texts, blah blah, blah.  She does however enjoy the “spoils” and demands that pinks, dhu, blackarse, harlequin and KG are the only things that can come home.

Anyway, with the wind finally being low I surprised her with taking a day off work and waking her up with “hey, why don’t you come fishing with me today?”.  Not my usual 5am but a leisurely “let’s try and get out by 9.30”.  Let her sleep in while I set the boat up and the 9.30am start was the go – I only ever really fish “daytime” in the comps but the forecast was perfect so why not?

Headed out to my spot at the back of the 3 Mile that has produced so well lately – found it by following a pro cray boat.    What do you know, the pots were there and the pro boat was working.  There was also a charter boat out there full of people, but no one was fishing?  Whales, and a few of them were all around us and from where we were sitting, the show was better than on the charter.  Breaching, blowing and a full tail shot within 100m of the boat was quality.  All that and you get it for free – well, sort of as owning a boat is never free.  Even better, Jill got her first KG when it was all happening – boat pulling pots, whales, charter boat watching and a quality fish.

I have to compliment the cray boat skipper.  We were quite close to his pots but he hauled them with skill and seemed genuinely pleased that Jill caught her fish.  He might have been actually more pleased by the number of crays in the pot and was in quite a good mood though.

After a while and a disappointing number of undesirable wrasse and parrot we decided to move on to another piece of ground that we discovered previously via cray pots, and what do you know there were more pots there.  And, there were more fish.  Excellent couple of hours – undersized pinks, KG, a nice Tarwine and Skippy for Jill, a variety of other things and even a 450mm Red Snapper.  The Red was a bonus as this was a fish I had never caught before and in <30m - apparently they are very good eating?  The same pro came to pick up his pots (did very nicely again and gave Jill a really good cheer when she landed her first pink – undersized but still went hard) and we were joined by some older gents.  It was great to see them do really well with a 750mm pink landed on the change of the tide – caught up with the guys at the ramp and they were absolutely stoked – most interest though was in my Minn Kota and how I could stay in one spot without an anchor.

The sea breeze started to come up and it was time to head in.  A quick stop at the near shore squid spot and the day came together.  Jill can’t wait to get out there again and was so proud that she caught fish you could actually eat.  Easily made double figures and is still talking about the experience.  Awesome – you don’t have to bring home heaps and they don’t have to be huge to have a really good time.

 Down at the north mole about 7pm Sunday night. 78cm

 What's the best spot (doesn't need to be exact) to get a decent catch of whiting?
