Hey guys. I have booked out the boat with Mills for a jigging trip on Sunday 5th Dec. WE WILL NOT BE GOING TO THE PATCH. WE WILL BE GOING TO THE BARGES. I really need the last 3 people to make this happen. I promise you it will be a good day. cost will be $220 and this will include jigs for the day (you wont have to buy any jigs at all) Have 12 people so far, but need 3 more. If you bring your own gear, you can fish all day if you want to (or have a rest for a beer or 2). Please send me a PM or reply on here if you are keen. The sambos are now on the chew and are finally hitting the jigs on the barges, and there are some BIG sambos out there. Would be good to catch up and meet some new people from here. The boat will be the Aussie Warrior which is a great boat for jigging and also has large flat screen tv and a kick arse stereo system.

Cheers

Motty

hi guys coming from interstate for a samson bash heading out on sat 4th dec with bluejuice

had a great time out on the fish last year

checkin the forecast currently has saturday expecting rain

still a week away but does what weather source is the most reliable in regards to wind?

dont mind the rain but often the wind is following it and bit worried it has the potential to be cancelled?

is it still too early to predict the wind forecast???

look forward to the input of you local experienced guys in regards to wind strength/directions to help ease the mind as you can understand the anticipation of bad weather kills you!!

cheers

looking at getting a lecky for a 12 foot tinny. Was thinking a 44lb transom mount. Do you think this would be big enough to push it along with 2 adults and the usual fishing gear?

Gday i managed to get up to club capricorn for the "shark bash" and meet a few more fish wrecked crew. The conditions werent as favourable as the boys would have hoped as there was plenty of weed in the first 10m of water and the boys were bringing in lots of it. The easterly wasnt quite easterly either so made for some hard fishing. ( i didnt fish just onlooked) there were about 12 crew at the time i was there and they were casting and using slide baits trying to avoid the weed. Diehard however got on his surf board and paddled out some baits.  bloody Keen if you ask me.  he even caught a wave back in. Only took a couple of pics and stayed a couple of hours so i didnt see anything get caught but it was nice too meet a few more crew and have a look.

Found some pics we did on one tinnie I think this is what you want done

i brought a Azusa rod matched with a spheros 14000 fb with 50lb braid for abrolhos island trip and i was wondering what pound leader to use

If anyone is interested in going to the Rowley Shoals to target big Blue marlin and Broadbill I have a spot available . The trip is on Reel Teaser charters departing Broome on 10th december to 16th december. Cost is $4000.00 . This is a well run charter company and Ross and Tracey provide a fantastic service. Their last trip raised over 20 Marlin with a large percentage over 200kg.

how to put profile picture on fishwrecked

Hi guys, as I mentioned in previous post, I'm spending a week over Christmas with my extended family at Rest Point near Walpole. It's what we do every second year. The difference this year is that I'm taking the 6m tinny and not the 3.5m dinghy & whilst I love fishing the inlets there and will be doing it again, I would like to get out wide and see whats biting in more than a few meters. Problem is I have no idea where to go to find some structure. Now I'm not asking for anyone's favourite GPS points, I just need a bit of a steer in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers all.

Rumour has it that a Hedland local got a magical 112cm baz tonight along with a 102cm and a fair few rats as well.  Should be some good pics coming soon, stay tuned!!

To everyone that asked about the rods i got in Bali.I know nothing too flash from the a pro jiggers pov but for me (budget boy) it will do the job.

Brand: Sabpolo pe 8 (Red, have a new salina 2 16000 for it), Sabpolo pe 5-7 (Blue has a new 14000 spheros on it)

Sorry for quality, really hard to take pics of rods

Thanks

Well picked up my new saltiga yesterday and i have to say it must be the best looking reel in my opinion.

Anyone goin out jigging on sunday and need a decky/skipper? I wanna get out there and have a fish (not work like i do most weekends out there). Got all me own gear and chip in for fuel etc. Can also bring some of my famous BLT sangas!!!!

Cheers

Motty

all plans seem to be go...

easterly in the morning easterly lessening in the arvo

132l fuel onboard , 90hp 2stroke   this should be enuff to get me to the barges and have a look see round the other wrecks?(and back)

anyone else heading out? will be liek a 7.30am launch from woodies maybe bite the bullet and pay for parking an from east freo...

cheers

Ok, so a mate of mine's boat sunk the other day... with all his gear. We have organised a diver to go out to the boat to salvage the gear (hopefully). Does anyone know how gear goes in the saltwater, is there any chance the gear will still be usable? I've heard arguments for both sides of the coin. Most of the stuff is pretty good shimano and daiwa stuff.

Any information would be great.

Ta

hey all, been new to wa fishing i have hered that the marlin and mackerel come down to the cape naturaliste with the warm currant.

was wondering what time of year is best and a rough location of were they hang out i was told naturaliste reef would be a good start

any help would be wonderfull

thanks rocky

Reckon it might be a bumper season this year for fishing upstream. I think the winter drought has left the river awfully salty... normally upstream bassendean way doesnt see blowies til feb/march really but they are already out (at least only in small numbers). Heaps of jellyfish too. I was at garvey park today and even saw a big blue manna cruising along the shallows. Never seen one that far up before!

Has anybody else noticed this? I'm thinking it might be an early mulloway season!

looking for a trimmer( f/w member hopefully) to make some new padded seats for my tinny, around welshpool area if possible

just the basic 2 seater tinny, some foam for padding, prefer marine grade material for the covers, press studded on.

we had pvc covers last time and they got very hot in the sun after a while, so looking at going cloth this time.

cheers ron

ok...have to ask.

i hope it wasnt a member who lost there boat at the roundabout the other night.....had a few to many apparantly?

either way thats gotta hurt without the coppers involved.

Hi all,

Was wondering if someone could please explain the demersal bag limit (obviously once the season re-opens.)

If you have 1 licenced fisher in the boat what and how many can you keep, also if you have 2 or more licenced fishers in the boat what and how may can we keep.

My understanding is its 1 dhuey and 1 pinky per fisherman with a max of 2 dhueys for the boat.

If i catch a dhuey and a pinky can i keep anything else?

Just want a sound understanding before it reopens and i get out there.

Cheers..

anyone goin out to barges this sunday?

Hedland fishing cases lead to big fines - Department of Fisheries media release

Sorry guys no funnys today in Sydney and photos won't up load

the last I heard it was up north somewhere getting spanked.. Does any one have an update??

Hey all,

Ive tried using the search function for the past 2 days in order to find some info on Exmouth, but i cant seem to find too much. 
So after a year or so getting some boating experience aswell as fishing experience my partner and i are willing to make the first trip to Exmouth. 
Over the past few months ive been trying to get some gear together with a basic tld 15 and tld 20 for trolling, 3 heavy pe 6-9 jigging sticks, pe 1-3 stick. Lures, jigs etc. Im also trying to sort out a decent gps plotter aswell as getting our clears redone as its starting to get brittle and one sides zipper is jammed since purchase. My plan of attack now is save say atleast $50-$100 a week until we go.

I guess what info i need are things like:

Any things you found easier on your trips up
Some sort of checklist
Any recommendations on repairs etc to do before leaving
Taking up jerry cans a yes or no
Roughly how much i should really save in terms of $$ for fishing for a week and a half and any other expenses incurred
I will be towing my boat a 4.7m Seaquest and i have a Navara D40 rx 2006 
I would rather head up when it isnt school holidays, so what time of year is prone to the better sort of weather 
Where do most of you stay, really dont mind bunking in a caravan park and pitching a tent with power

Thanks for any advice as it will all be helpful towards making it a trip to remember for the better
