Despite it being winter the squiding action has been good and the popularity ever increasing.

Oceanside Tackle and Marine has one of the biggest ranges of squid jigs in WA. We have just received another comprehensive shipment of both Yo-Zuri and Yamashita squid jigs. New colours, new models and the usual must have favourites makes for a great squid jig display, over 500 upmarket jigs in stock.

Hi all,

Me and  a mate are launching my little dinghy tm and were just wondering in what general area the bream are biting. Last friday we spent from mt henry bridge and upstream to shelley without a bite. Thinking of launching at the Matilda bay are they around at the moment? Not looking for "secret spots" just a general idea of where to head. Thanks all.

p.s. there's room for one more 10am - 3pm ish

With the advent of braid this small lever drag has so many applications.   Its so light, reasonably priced and its a lever drag.   Theres such a market opening for this reel.

Do you think Shimano will ever bring the TLD5 back on the market?

i was down at the bet street boat ramp the other day when all of a sudden 6 monster salmon come up to the jetti and swam around for about 20 mins then swam off again.

i was just wondering where they would run to next north or south i was thinking of trying pommy rock in point peron but im not sure

any advice is good advice

cheers, kyle

I cant make up my mind about toomorow, would love to hit the bank early but the forcasts seem of two minds wind 1-5kn not bad, swell 2.1 - 2.4 and buyweather has it up to 2.8/3 then there is the period a bit crappy 7-9secs wind direction aint teh best but wiht such low wind speeds does it matter? so good day to go out or not according to the forcasts what u guys recon >?

Thanks !

Well i joked a few weeks back that i wanted it just so i can say that i got it and guess what? I got it all right!

Wed last week bed ridden sore throat like you wouldnt belive, hot cold flushes and massive amount of pressure on the front of my head and back. I have never had anything like that before.
Went to the doc's and first question he asked was "have you had flu needle?"

I replyed yes then he went and got me and him a mask. I was shocked. He said becuse the flu needle knocks out 3 of the 4 flus around at the moment then that leaves one only the swine!

I took thursday and friday off and i damm needed it!!!!
Saterday i was off to swandistricts becuase i was having trouble breathing and a painfull as helll cough. I had to wait 4 hours!!!!!! Lots of people in there sick with swine including kids!
Sat night was the worse with vomiting out both ends.
In total i was in bed from thurs till yesterday completly hammerd!!!!

Try you best not to get it!
Doctors are saying lots of people will get it but it wont kill you but will knock you around like you have never been before.

Im back at work now, its been 6 days and all i have now is a little cough but glad its over

i am addicted to a web sales site called Zazz - every day they put up an item which is on sale one day only - usually techo geek stuff. But today they have a handheld vacuum unit - not a burn type sealer but i would guess the bags that come with it have a valve thingy. Looks good if you want to freeze or chill fish on the beach and won't be home for a couple of  day - just Google Zazz. Under $20.00.

Hey my fam is generally old school with fishing , few rods but mainly hand lines , was wondering if any one would be able to help me get a reasonable rod and reel set up for tackling water depth of 20 to 60 metres and able to handle some of the big fish we target such as dhufish and snapper , any tips would be great ,  what price would i be looking at from estimating a minimum to a max ?

how long will it take to knock the poms over  id say be over by 30 mins b4 lunch :)

mums moving to cairns and i was wondering if theres any shorebased fishing to be had there as ill be going to see her a few times a year...

we might invest in a small tinny aswell.

cheers

G'day guys

After seeing some awesome photo's on here lately I've decided to take the plunge and buy myself a decent DSLR. I've got my mind set on a Nikon D5000 as it also take HD video. Just wondering if anyone has one or had any experience with one. To me it seem like a pretty well featured unit.

Cheers Mick

The New Licence Proposals, which are going to be tabled next week in Parliament, the curious question I would like to ask is, the Demersal Licence, does that mean, when I have paid for mine, does the boat have to be surveyed and do I get issued with a LRFB ( Licenced Recreational Fishing Boat) number?? Along the similar lines, of any licenced commercial fishing boat, makes you wonder, what are they thinking?? Another thought who is going to issue the Demarsal Licence is, it to be a Marine Surveyor ???

Jim.

Has anyone been squiding off the service jetty in Cervantes?Going there in the morning early probably going to give it a go....

Come all ye fishwrecked members, the Exmouth Invitational competition will be on the SATURDAY MAY 15th and SUNDAY MAY 16th 2010.

Please make your accomodation bookings ASAP and come and join us for a fun filled adventure in the sunny fish filled waters of the Ningaloo reef.  It would be best if people could book accomodation in town, or at the Lighthouse Caravan Park for convenient organisation of the 'initiation' and prizes night.

There will be a few changes to the rules for measuring fish this year, but not many.  I will inform you of these later.

The competition fee will be $20 per person (an increase on last year to boost the prizes).  All competition fees will go into the kitty for prizes, it is not for my profit, it is reward for you guys/girls making the effort to come up.

If anyone knows any organisations/companies that may like to sponsor the competition, please let me know, the more we have, the more you guys get when you win. :)

Any suggestions, please let me know.  But hopefully you guys can make it, you have atleast 7 months to get sorted.

The fishwrecked.com Exmouth Invitational has a 4/5 star rating with NEATfish, the govt body regulating fishing competitions. (pending approval)

Cheers,

Adam

I hope you all are ready for the MIGHTY BLUES

to destroy the pussy cats as the upset of the year

I realise that a lot of work has gone into the site and the Landbased Fishing Forum is a mine of information on places for the boatless to go - but i noticed this morning probably the umpteenth query on where to go at Shark Bay - may i suggest the development of a non interactive section of the site that lists landbased spots starting at Eucla and finishing at the NT border with maybe a division for non ocean sites. I know these are accessible by searching in associated forums but a reference page listing basics like Location, access, amenities and species would be a good guide and could be compiled from the answers given by the site members. This would be a heap of work but like a lot of other people i haven't been to some places because i have only a vague idea of where they are, access and sometimes another name to the one i've been given etc etc.

Hi

i will be going to exmouth in december and i want to purchase a reel. i will be fishing in my boat just behind the reef by trolling.
