Hi all,

A mate of mine has his gillnet license and a 30mtr Gillnet, we are looking at going tonight and have no idea around perth where we can nett. The book provided with the license is really hard to understand and we dont want to do the wrong thing and get busted.

Any help is grealy appreciated.....

But are they required to maintain the Swan as a native species?

our dear friends at Fisheries research have done it again!

moves are a foot to leglay allow one rod per anlger on a boat, limiting the number of lines that can be trolled or fished.

That means if my son and I go out, we can only have a small rod for him and I have to choose if I'm taking a trolling, bottom bounce or jigging rod.

At this rate will we be allowed hooks on lines by the end of the year..

i'm very pissed off at this!!!

A few months ago it was stormy weather and i was in east freo on a rock groyne. I looked to the side of a rock groyne and there was a school of fish that looked like herring darting past being chased by a school of fish that looked exactly like a spanish mackeral and around the same size, what could this be?

I am going to busselton this Easter and hopefully catch a few salmon. Can anyone tell me good poppers for salmon? I heard 105mm roosta poppers in bonito colour are good.

Hey guys, i need to know what sort of rod and line i should be able to use for live baiting mulloway.

hey guys, I  have one more spot available for the comp next week, maybe 2 yet, should be fun, will be fishing both days why the hell not, not doing game , we are going the bottom fidhing catagories,

great prizes , lots of fun, and hopefully we get onto some bombers, will be chasing dhuies,snapp, kg,s sambos to earn some coin,

let me know if anyone in,

also like to know any other crew involved,

Hi all,

I'm one of the unfortunate few not lucky enough to have access to a boat at this magical time when water temperates are up and the pelagics are running in metro waters. Being relatively new to fishing I don't know if this has happened in recent years or if the warm waters are a bit of a fluke event.

I'm just curious as to whether warm waters at this time of year will have an impact on our winter fishing? Keen to hear your thoughts purely from a learning angle.

Cheers,

Buschy

Got all my gear in the mail this week for the Fisheries survey, just need to get out now and get something to fill it all in.

Cheers

Mladin and I had a go off the north reefs today,strange day, very windy early,heaps of crappy weed. we had a double hookup on shark macks,they went berserk in the wind slop and spat the lures close to the boat, landed a spanish mack and 2 spotty macks[released],then it calmed down and was bright and no more strikes, trolled around for a while and got sick of clearing lines so came home, there was alot of late starters and it will be interesting to see how they went

Oh oh.  Not looking too good for the FW Exmouth Comp guys and girls.  I'm heading up to Coral Bay on Sunday for a week and it looks like the weather could be a bit nasty looking on the BOM website.  Tropical low maybe forming into cat 1 cyclone by tomorrow.  Hopefully it fizzles out to nothing or at least hopefully for the comp, it has been and gone by next weekend.  This is my first time to Coral Bay too.

Everyone better keep their fingers crossed.

Off to Exxy in 3 weeks.

Ill be launching a 5.5m glass boat at Tantas and Bundegi.

I have never been up there before, do people think anti bog mats are adviseable?

If so, has anyone had experience with these?

They dont look as good as the MaxTrax, but they are sure a hell of a lot cheaper.

Thinking about heading up Mindarie / Butler way on Saturday evening for a fish.  Can any of the locals give me a heads up on the weed factor on the beaches up there?

Hi all, I am going up to Exmouth in late April and was wondering if some fishos can give me some advice on teasers.  I do intend to troll for mackies and maybe head to deeper depths for billfish.

Do you use that angled block of wood with reflective sides?  I presume something like this needs to have a weighted nose to stay below the surface and troll accordingly.  I have heard of the long chain of rubber squids and broken CD's.

I have the fishing gear but these are things I have overlooked.

Thanks in anticipation

Chris

I was fishing in the river at succes hill and i always see this one fish about 35cm - 40 cm jump really far out of the water. It jumps around a meter and a half far and the colour of the fish is a pale white colour. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Hey guys bugger these early starts but its all for a good cause. We are off to Onslow then the Mackies for 10 days so good fishing too you all and we'll catch ya when we get back.

Cheers Mick and Sammy J (Black Pearl) 

At the last Federal Election Tony Abbott went to Mackay in Queensland and announced that if he got elected the decision making process for Marine Parks would be restructured so there was more local involvement and within days his popularity jumped past Julia Gillard so lets get him over here to listen to what we have to say. It can't be that hard and it's not like he wouldn't have anything to say with Mining Tax , Boat people and detention centres along with GST all on the agenda. I'll run it past the Member for Forrest Nola Marino to test the water and maybe you guys in metro can lobby for the same thing with your Federal Members. It's worth a go. from memory the reasons why he wanted to restructure the MPA was  the negative impact that marine parks have on local economies.

 i think we done well and got our point across!! cheers to the fellas from bluewater for the supply of the fishing rods im sure the kids will love them! and we certainly out numbered the greenies even if they teamed up with the gays and the nuclear freak who decided to knock over the poor kids at the front! im pretty scared myself as apparently the spirits are going to get me because i took a picture of her after she broadcast herself on live tv! go figure! so anyway i decided if these spirits are going to get me i may as well drink them first!! mm bourbon! good work fellas heres hoping they start to get the message!

thinking of heading up to jurien bay with the boat for a fish just wondering what the facilities are like and what the waters are like up that way in close and out wide any help would be great

ay fellas looking at doing a trip in QLD is there any good charter you recomend for some good sportfishing popperin jigging etc

cheers

Hi Guys,

I am going to Kalbarri in the school holidays for Easter and would like some good tips on where to fish and what techniques to use for lure fishing inside the Murchison. I have been there before so I know a couple of spots but I need a few landbased spots

cheers Dan,

P.S I have access to a Kayak and if you don't want to tell the whole of Fishwrecked about it you can P.M. me, I promise I won't tell anyone!

Hi all, looking for a deckie spot for tomorrow if anyone is heading out to jig for a dhuie or two. I have my own gear and jigs. Usual chip in for fuel, keen to go from Mindarie, Two Rocks or near Rotto.

Cheers Sha

Hey everyone,

I Need help with my sounder, can't get a reading (good bottom reading) after about 85 metres I have gain turned to 15 after that too much blue comes up on the screen, So when I turn threshold up no info comes back from the bottom, I was at the rotto wrecks the other day and all I could see were three little lumps not what I would expect at all. Any help would be great...

thanks

Rob

just a heads up..i was heading in the other night back to woddys ramp and just as i got to the concrete jetty,the one u turn just before seeing the ramps..a couple of fellas called me over and asked if i could back up my boat with there crab net to unsnag it..i helped them out and got there net unsnagged but in the mean time my prop picked another rope up,at the same time as we were pulling the guys net up it snagged another net..i got the prop cleared and the nets out but when we came in close with the spotty we could see about 20 loose rope ends where people have got there nets snagged and cut the ropes just above the water line..

my advice if coming or going from woddys ramp is stay well clear of the corner to save alot of hassle..

Does anyone know if the 14000FA spool will fit the 12000FA?

Hey Guys

What beaches can you drive on between Augusta and Yallingup?

 I know of Hamelin Bay, and how to get there - is Boranup a different beach? I was on Hamelin years ago but didn't go to far.  Looking on the maps its the next one up but have to take a different track in?

Is there any others?

Thanks
