My battery is completly flat, all the leads that go to the battery were disconnected. i am positve i have connected all the leads to - + ect. I gave it a jump start with a portabnle power pack, had the lid off the motor. connected one lead to the motor and other to the battery.

when i tried to start the engine, it sounded like it wanted to start. But then there was a little bit of smoke coming from somewhere on top of the engine, not sure if it was some oil or part of the motor?

I am looking for info on beach launching in the cape range national park Exmouth. I will be up there for a couple of weeks camping in the NP and a mate is thinking of towing my boat up there to meet us. I am doing a trip up to the Kimberley area and as its not a fishing trip as such I am taking my camping trailer. We will be hopefully camping at Osprey Bay which is down the southern end. I have a 4.85 trailcraft and would like to beach launch it and then more it off the beach. I think from memory I have seen boats launched at pilgramana (spelling) which isnt too far north from Osprey.

Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.

I was out fishing on Sunday from Lano- was about 15mile out when a turtle appeared on the surface near us. I have not seen or heard of turtles being that far south. At least i haven't seen any.

Another note- We were drifting about 4 mile out from town, I hooked up to something sizeable that spooled my TLD25 loaded with 50lb braid on a fully locked drag within a minute. Must have been a very big shark?  I had approx 500yards on the spool!

i went out today at cbh and got nothing sounder was going off over 2 the sulphur jetty still nothing and bp jetty nothing again

went out last night and picked up 2 crabs near cbh floating in the water  about 1030 pm went to mangles bay found crabs floating driving around we found some big gar fish i was using the prawn light to see it was blinding them i have never seen this before scooped them up with a net 

been out lots of times in cockburn sound through the day never done well can any one tell me of any spots to try as my boat is under powered cant go out long way

G'day, new to forum.

 Just wondering if anyone can give me some info on what the fishing is like in exmouth in April? Info on Wind, swell, best fun parts to fish for the kids for a few good photo shots. First trip up there with the 2 young kiddies. Was told off the lighthouse was one of the better spots?

Taking little 5.3bar crusher, would love to know any local info.

Happy days,

Irish

does anyone know where to get some good wa occy from got mine off crayboats in mandurah last couple of years but no chance this year dont want any of that imported treated crap & catching own not an option

Was just wondering what you should do if you happen to stumble across a long rope with no float on it?  We were out on the weekend and near some other pots, we found 3 different ropes floating in the water which were obviously tied to cray pots (I think).  We weren't sure wether to cut them back, pull them up or what?  We didn't have anything to use as floats, otherwise we would have tied them to the ropes.  Hopefully no one else gets caught in them.  It was low tide as well.  I was thinking maybe the pots got stuck so the owners just cut there floats off and left them or maybe another boat had previously chopped them up???

Hey Guys, Planning on taking a Witch Doctor for when we are trolling for the macks / sails and alike up in Exy in april. Anyone used one before and can recommend the setup to rig it to the boat. I hear you need to tie them fairly secure as the fish can sometimes have a go at them.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,I am new to the forum and want to learn to fish. I went to Coral Bay last year and went deep sea fishing and have decided I would like to take up fishing as a hobby. I went and bought a rod the other day and went out on Saturday but failed miserably, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any beginners fishing groups or lessons that I can go to that will teach me everything I need to know.Cheers

Was thinking of getting the boat out for a night session if the weather permits in a couple of weeks time.  Have never done it before and was after any hints/tips to making it a successful and, more importantly, safe trip.  Will be heading out from the Dawesville Cut.  Cheers.

Hello All,

As stated in a post a couple weeks ago, me and the missus are going to head down to peaceful bay this weekend for 3 or 4 days.

Plannign on trying to get a feed of fish each night, only going down very light and going to camp at the caravan park down that way.

anyone able to provide a any info on fishing locations around the area?
Wouldnt mind finding a few herring, KG's or flatties if they are about. The missus wants to have a crack at some light gear fishing, and hoping to be able to keep her occuppied long enough for me to get into some fish too :)

May pop out a big line to see if any salmon are lurking about.

Thanks guys.

Simo_ took me out in his boat yesterday for a fish . The conditions were nowhere as good as we thought they would be to get out wide so we settled for a fish in the 35m range. He drove me around in his boat till we got some fish. i got a 48cm dhuie which came up green from about 35m and seemed to go back well. Then he put me on to a keeper a big bigger Dhuie, not sure of the weight as the scales didnt work. I did get a couple of pics but cant load them from my Shitty computer somewhere around the 5kg mark great eating size. I even got a couple of crappy fish . The whole time Simo drove me around, sat and fished next to me chatted and kept me company and didnt catch a thing as to not outdo me. what a Guy. Cheers Simo for a great day out.

Or rather mobile tackle hoarder available.
Free to fish for anything tomorrow and will share costs. Obviously I come with tackle.... =)

PM me asap, I'll checking tonite.
