Finally got me . Feel like crap. Had to leave work few days back . Weather looks good typical

 Drove to Rockingham for 7.30 start, strong winds a bit of rain,put in at pt person, didn't go to far, bait cast mulie bango, 60 cm of pink.we caught a few  undersized, had 2 blistering runs but chopped the mono, then a 72 cm pink, stayed awhile but bite shut down when peck tide was over, skipper missed out but ended up with a nice fish, you can catch fish on a N/E.

As with probably all of you, I'm always lookin at my next boat. I currently have a 22ft Whittley with a Suzuki outboard, which I service myself. The next step up in boat size starts getting towards a few petrol inboard models, which we all know come with a bad perception on maintenance and dramas. Yes, I'd love to get a trailerable 26footer with twin 300 mercs, but I haven't won lotto yet, and Gina rhinehart keeps refusing my belgium waffle prices  

I want to know anyones bad experiences with petrol inboards please. Regular issues, common problems, extra maintenance, etc.

feel free to comment if you have anything good to say about them too. 

cheers legends. 

Enjoy 

Havn't been able to get any occy lately, and @ $27kg it's getting a bit pricey. The schools of little pinkys around at the moment are a pain in the arse, I need a bait that can last long enough for my target species. I might try marinating chicken breast in Tuna oil for half the price of occy, anyone tried this?

 Hi guys

looking at taking the kids out in the sound on the weekend anyone know if the snapper

 I can.travel, bring bait,pay my way etc

 Smiles all around fishing for sand whiting, and great memories with "Pop"

Being put back up to 20, heard on radio this morn

I personally know him. He wanted a feed of squid. Job done

In the courts

Breaching the 10kg finfish limit cost a Melville man more than $4600 in the Shark Bay magistrate’s court recently when he was found to have 19.6kgs of finfish fillets at his campsite.                                                                                                                       

The abuse and obstruction of fisheries officers at Lighthouse Bay near the Ningaloo Marine Park in April led to a Great Southern man receiving fines and costs of nearly $3000. 

Illegal mud crab fishing cost a 47 year old man almost $4000 in fines, penalties and costs in the Derby Court after his boat was found with undersized crabs and 10 more than the personal daily bag limit.

Illegal sales of rock lobster, as well as using excess pots and interfering with other people’s fishing gear, has cost a Cooloongup man more than $30 000 in fines and costs, as well as having to forfeit his boat and gear.

Mate Glen and I headed out to a spot behind Garden Island and then FFB.  Glen managed a PB of around 90cm with no less than seven keepers landed in a morning session (four kept).

 Well , after 2 to 3 years of hardly getting a chance for a fish, sky rocketing costs the green turd brigade shutting us out etc , ive pulled the pin. Was a great boat did many miles and caught plenty of fish. Not gone altogether tho , im going back to how i started out 30 yrs ago. I picked up a 4.8 hornet s/console , so will be after river and estuary species and the odd close in pinkie . im going to need a new set of glasses to tie this mico braid stuff tho lol. Tight lines crew.

 Hey all,

New to the area and went for a toodle from silver sands up to secret harbour on one of these beautiful winter easterly days and noticed on the Garmin that everything from about 100 MTRS out to the beach is marked game reserve?? Can anyone enlighten me more on what the go is with that? Also seems pretty quiet boat wise here, is their any good weed banks local for squiddies and Geordies or should I head elsewhere??not looking for spots just a general idea of what is worth chasing, also thought I'd try a night mulloway trip sitting out back of the "game reserve" in the troughs behind the surf maybe?

Enjoy 

I've never fished for them so have zero experience.  I'm off to Vanuatu later this year where these are known as poulet.

I'm interested in any feedback from others who may have fished for these especially those have used jigs successfully or unsuccessfully vs bait.
