Fishing Today
Submitted by piston broke on Sun, 2010-08-15 22:32Sorry about the small images.We decided to keep a Sambo today and luckily it cooked up a treat (nice and firm). The drift was weird, with an Easterly wind and the drift was Northerly which resulted in heaps of crossed lines. Cheers Pete

Big tackle shop or little tackle shop ??? WHERE DO YOU SHOP ?
Submitted by DhuBoi on Sun, 2010-08-15 22:31Hi just curious to where you guys shop either at a big tackle store or a little tackle store. I gotta say i shop at the smaller ones. People tend to think bigger store / chain stores smaller price . I know this is wrong for a fact recently i have purchased a SHimano torium 30 , which i scored from a small tackle store at 260 dollars , i went to ranger camping and outdoors only to find that the shimano torium 20 which was all they had was set at a price of 430 BUCKS , ripp , just goes to show bigger stores doesnt mean smaller prices .
cheers

Busso Fishing Spots
Submitted by shaw_catch on Sun, 2010-08-15 21:14Hey Guys,
Going to Busso this week with the boss lady. Never fished there before, i'm told the jetty is good, but if you get a good fish, goodluck if you don't have a cliff gaff?
Are there any other good spots, and are there any salmon down there at the moment?
Any tips??
Cheers

campfires on the beach?
Submitted by cuthbad on Fri, 2010-08-13 00:15was thinking how well a camp fire would go with an overnight fishing trip in winter. Is this allowed anywhere and if so how far out of perth would it have to be? I plan on getting an old webber bbq putting it on the sand and having the fire in this so im able to take all the mess away with me. Any chance of getting away with that?
cheers

Rail mount rod holders
Submitted by Man Overboard on Thu, 2010-08-12 19:56Hey guys, I am getting rails on my new boat and need some advice regarding stainless, rail mounted rod holders.
I saw the system that Paul Worsteling had on the stabicraft, in the I Fish series, and was wondering if any of you blokes had a similar or alternate idea.
