Gonna grab some oysters for NYE. I've never schucked them so just want to get some schucked on the day. Any suggestions where to go north of the river?

Cheers

 Hi all,

Can someone point me in the right direction, of what the legal requirements are for making your own octopus shelter pots?

As the fisheries website doesn't seem to state what they are.

Cheers in advance for any info.

 With today looking like the last chance to get offshore for the rest of the christmas break I decided to head out for a bottom fish in what I thought would be pretty sloppy conditions, Surprisingly it was pretty comfortable and the fish were on the chew. Also picked up a nice haul of bluefin on boxing day

hey guys. what do you reckon about tomorrows forecast out from hillarys? got the old man over and was keen to take him out prob within the 3 mils, a bit south, but not if its too sloppy.

seeabreeze and willyweather are telling mee two different stories. if seabreeze is correct,  looks sweet. in a 5.4 ally, and the old feela has a bit of a bad back, so dont wanna take him out if its gonna bang too much.

any opinions?

 Running low on beach baits got out round

9am conditions rather sloppy?? Seabreeze 

had 10knts at lowest ? No way ! Anyway 

with the shelter of the first reef wasn't bad

target was pike ! Just 1 short of our bag

 Hey guys got a trip to the block coming up in late jan was just wondering what the phone reception is like with telstra there trying to work out if its that patchy is it worth taking a sat phone or some sort or other emergency beacon if any situation heads south whilst where there

Cheers in advance craig

 Hi there

has anyone been getting crabs in the Blackwood river in Augusta. 
 

haven't seen much activity. 
 

Enjoy Happy New Year

 Was heading out with 2 mates yesterday heading south out the back of garden island when the skipper says f... my tanks been milked. Luckily  he had 10 litres in a container. We turned around and fished a few spots without luck. Need a locking cap or similar nowadays. Very frustrating day.

Hey guys.

where is the best place in Mandurah to set up camp for me and my son to get him a nice whiting. Went today and he got his first kg and hasn't stopped asking to catch more fish :) wanna have a crack at some whiting in the poppers while I'm there and maybe even get the wife more into it. 

 headed out of mindarie today surely the swell had be more than the Willie weather predicttion of 1.8 metres? I think sea breeze even had it at 1.4 metres

 Hi guys just wondering if anyone has any experience with these Garmin echomap Sounders?? Can't find much about them so I'm wondering if it actually works as good as it looks! Fitting on a WaveRunner im setting up for placcy bashs and I like the idea of the overlay to create your own detailed maps of ground you've been over. Cheers in advance for any help or feedback

Windy showing a potential cyclone in the new year.

 Merry Christmas to all . May your day be filled with fun , frivolity and merriment! . On that note I'm off to work ... :(

This year. Heaps of small ones around and big ones. Very early. Left heaps for another day

 Just a thanks to site sponsor Southside boating and tackle.  While in the shop today getting some line on the kids fishing reels, a ( Plastic) spool cracked, now these a super cheep and not made to Last, It didn't surprise me so I grabbed another reel , no probs. After paying the shop owner gave me a nice little kids combo with a small tackle box, I said not it wasn't necessary but he insisted. Now you don't get that service on line. Cheers to the boys and thanks again. Buy local.

 Does the tail clipping of crays and there subsequent bleed out reduce the flavor?

Can't recall the crays being so bland.

hi all

my dad is coming down for Chrissy I want to take him out a couple of times

fri/ sat have sw winds all day not very strong in the morning, will it be alright to go to the 5 fathom bank on Sw winds.cheers

 The wife and i are heading over to Hervey Bay in the new year and will be staying on a large cat moored in the marina.

I was looking for info on fishing offshore as most of he stuff i could find was all land based.

Appreciate any info on what to target, gear i'd need to take etc.

Also got access to a dinghy so hoping to fing some crabs too.

 hi. looking for some info on penguin island rockingham. dragging the boat down from north over xmas. kids are keen to check them out. ist there suitable beach anchoring for a 9mtr glass boat or can we aget in close enough to swim ashore. any info would be great. thanks

 Hi guys. Forgive me I'm a bit of a novice with GPS coordinates.

I'm trying to put the Recfishwest FAD coordinates into my GPS combo and I must be doing it wrong as they come up well south of where they should be. When I put them in they come up west of Garden Island and I know they're further north of GI.

The Recfishwest coordinates read 32.113S 115.160E. So I'm entering it in my MFD as 32.11.300S 115.16.000. Clearly this is wrong. Can somebody please clarify where I'm going wrong please?

Thanks in advance.

Enjoy Merry Xmas

 I had a day out recently targetting squid which was pretty slow, then I found the motherload of Snapper on the way home!

 G'day fellas. Would someone be so good as to send me the barges coordinates? I've searched high and low and cannot find them anywhere although I'm led to believe they are approx 10km west of Rottnest.

We went out chasing Sambo's at the Rottnest Artificial Reefs Friday week ago. The tides were big (low 0630hr 0.39m and high 2135hr at 1.15m), full moon the day before, and fishing in the middle of the day which I guess doesn't bode well for a successful trip. I have a Simrad NSS12 Evo3 with TM275LHW and couldn't sound out any fish on the artificial reefs so we headed towards the scuttle grounds and tried our luck on a couple of wrecks with no luck in up to 110m.

We jigged with a variety of jigs and still no cigar. I wonder whether the environmental factors above played a major role in why we couldn't find fish on the day and welcome your thoughts. I'm on ex Pilbara lad and have caught plenty of brag worthy fish up there (which isn't hard) but I'm not having a lot of success in Perth despite spending plenty of time (and fuel) looking for decent ground all over the place.

Any suggestions warmly welcomed. 

Hi Peeps. I’m heading to Waroona between Boxing Day & NYE and was wondering if anyone has had much luck fishing around there. We are camping at the dam but not sure if exact fishing spots etc. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I’m not a very good land based fishergirl. I like my big stuff too much lol. Thanks.
