Hey all

The boat Im currently building is getting close to being ready so now its down to the smaller parts of the fit out that I haven’t already planned (OCD a bit so theres not much!)

Im still not sure where the best place to mount the henderson outrigger bases I have (also pictured)- on the side of cab or top of the cab? And in each location, what is the best direction/ angle to mount them? Keeping in mind the bar work thats already there etc 

I have some decent two peice outrigger poles and rigging gear so wouldnt be travelling with them installed much/ if at all 

Im aware that the type of base limits options a little, but these things only get used a few times a year in reality so wasn’t too keen on $1.5K+ for a decent set of telescopic type bases

Attached are a couple of pics of the layout for reference

Any input from game fishing gurus would be awesome and appreciated- PMs welcome!

Cheers!

 Hey everyone,

Has anyone fished here?

What can you expect to catch? What rigs and setups should I bring.

Tailor, and maybe Mulloway?

Cheers

 Hey Guys, looking at chasing some kings this weekend. Anyone got any advice on where to start with regards to location, time, bait, lures, techniques ect? Cheers

Have heard my brothers huge 128cm Barra is pictured and I would like to send him a copy 

 hi everyone

thanks 

It was in bad way..getting pots ready Today picked it up base dropped off. Gold .little andy pissed himself. Ready to go now.

Hi everyone,

Anyone been up to Steep recently?  Just wanting to get a gauge on track conditions in and whether many fish have been around.  Camping at Blackies for a week, early December and towing a 4.2m tinny in.  Hoping to focus a fair bit on boat fishing, ballooning  and off the rocks.  I've spent hours combing the old threads, any other advice welcome.

Thanks

Gday,

Im chasing some advise on trying to target my first legal Dhu. Me and my dad have had the boat out many times throught last season and the season before but caught absolutly nothing. The whole season we got 1 legal pinkie and 3 breaksea. Been launching at freo and fishing as far out as the 60-70 meter mark behind rotto. Not asking for spots as i know they are hard to come by(But if anyone is happy to share i would be more than greatful) just trying to figure out best baits, rigs, what to look for on the sounder ect as we have tried everything we know for 4/5ths of bugger all over the last couple of seasons

Any advice is much appreciated

Cheers

Story behind this one? Must of hit collie ledge? Guessing

A mate of mine is at Rotto and just told me there is a dead whale floating near the Southern entrance to Thompsons - sharks everywhere

 Any supplier recommendations for new boat carpet? We have the old stuff to use as a template and want someone to supply and cut and we'll put it in. I've done a search but the results are mostly old.

Cheers

 Chasing recommendations to who in the southwest can do the seals on the lower leg of my outboard after doing the water pump impeller I dropped the oil and yep she's milky

 Hey guys and gals. Does anyone know when the new boating rules ( life jackets, radios, ect) are coming into force???The white season is coming in and it would be nice to know.

Old mate in the Black Quintrex today did more damage than I've ever seen before.

At least 6 strained necks, countless broken ribs and corked arms delivered by wives and girlfriends.....God knows how many cold shoulders.....Well played mate.

Enjoy

 Hey everyone. Just heading over to Busso for the weekend and wondering how the fish are hittin... I have a tinny with me thinking of trying to catch a KG if anyone could head me in the right direction that would be awesome! Mightb go for a fish of the busso jetty too.. Is it worth trying to catch a mully there? Cheers everyone... Dave

 apparently if you fill up your dingy tank (today ) , you have to remove it from the dingy if your pushing into your 60s as i am it can be a struggle geting it in and out  , what is wrong with just filling it in your dingy , in my opinion no  different to filling your car or a  big boats  fuel tank  or are i missing somthing 

Hey guys.

Am heading over to meet a friend at rotto on friday. given the ban is on, i thought id try trolling for some pelagics, or i have heard there are some bommies out towards west end whcih can sometimes produce kingfish with stick baits etc.

Have never caught a kingfish (except for a 30cm one at the fads... go figure!)  so was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? and am i in the right tim of year? and if this area is worth a try? just  want to know if its a waste of time or not? Also any suggestions on lures and sizes etc?

Also i noted that on the maps cape vlamingh is a demersal sanctuary, just checking can still fish for other species here?

thanks for any info!

cheers

 Now that's what I'd call a full send!.

 It's taken me some time but I now got a nice clean bottom picture at speed with my p66 but the deeper I get I seem too loose detail ie upto 15m or so great detail see bait and fluffy bits after that I pick up lumps n ledges at speed but won't show life only if I go back over it at a drift speed will it show life. Also 50khz doesn't work at all blank screen and a white line with depth line set on. Hopefully not but thinking I could of damaged the cable moving it around thought I'd ask before I buy a new one

Never posted a link so hopefully this works. Just watched Matty from Pelagic Pursuits method of extracting fish from Sharks. Hope it works but if it doesn’t, search YouTube for Pelagic Pursuit. It’s his latest upload. Might work here too, no fun in it but neither is losing yummy bottom fish to Sharks.

 Went for a Fang today chasing some fish. Heaps on the sounder but they weren't up for it. Had a great swim at Prince of Wales Island on the way home. 29 degree water was pretty hard to beat. 

 Setting up a grow out pond for yabbies. Have a lot of babies in another tank ready to transfer to this pond when I get the barrel filter set up. Anyone had a go at this I've got a bit of an idea but any helpful tips are most welcome.

Just heard a big white smoked a swimmer at Port Beach.

took the swimmers head and then the whole body.

We know who you are, stop doing this crap.

Watch your back......

Karma will strike....
