Heading up to the Mackies in early Sept. Haven't been there before, probably chase a few bottom fish and then go for some Mackies Tuna GT's etc

Any hints would be great.

Cheers

I am heading to Busselton for the weekend and need a bit of advice.  I have a 3.7m tinnie with a 15hp on the back and was wondering if the area out the front of Busso is safe enough to take that out there or does it get decent swell running in there?  Also if I do take it out what sort of fish can you catch down there?

I was also going to take some land based gear and chase some salmon.  Thanks for any help dudes, much appreciated.

Gday all - I want to take the boat out on monday in the swan and try a bit of trolling for chopper Tailor or Herring. Anyone got any advice as to which spots would be worth a try and what lures? Twistys?

hi guys

so we are off to dunsborough this long weekend hopefully chasing salmon around the area. just curious if anyone has had some luck around that area recently?

ash

just woundering what peoples oppinions towards timber lure's.
are they as effective as plastic HB?

Not sure if its much interest to anyone but a good mate of mine was fishing out from hillarys today and called me up... he was trolling some soft plakkies and was cleaning up on smallish YTK's of about 60cms... he had a ball.... must be escapees id think from that fishfarm... anyways he also got some big squid and herring

im going out deep on friday

and was wondering what are some of the best sea sick tablets to buy...

want something effective that wont make me feel smashed or tired on the boat....because kwells made me feel pissed last time and really tired.

any other suggestions are welcome

cheers

hey guys,im heading down south this weekend and just wondering where are the schools recently, i know there were some in the injinup area last week and i was wondering if u need a 4wd for injinup and the places around there,wouldnt mind travelling around a bit to locate the schools but i only got a 2wd, and any tips on them,welcome = ]

Hey all,

I've been in karratha a couple of months now and this is my first opportunity to go catch some fish! I've brought up some lures, rods, reels and stuff so no one has to lend me theirs. I will happily share all costs involved and can even bring some beers if needed :)

[Staying at Gap Ridge village at the moment without transport]

If not, I wil probably hire a boat out from dampier, so if you dont have a boat and want to come along too then maybe we could sort something out?

Either way, please PM me or email me on jusdemello@gmail.com or get me on 0401 941 438.

Cheers!

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a boat ramp at Horrocks. Has been ages since I have been there but from memory they did have 1 there. Thinking of stopping for a days fishing on the way back from exxy. Is the fishing any good from out off horrocks. Any info would be great

ALSO ANY BODY TRIED WHOLE WITEBAIT FRIED IN CRUMBS?

Friday had nice conditions so decided to head out deepish for a bit of jigging for bottom species with a few hits/hook ups on small jigs but nothing landed.

Dropped some baits down.

Scorpion

after getting nothing else decided to head in shallow.

Spoilt myself whilst in Albany.BCF had a Penn 850 spin reel and matching rod for $149 in their cattalouge.Albany BCF were sent only a small number and had sold out.They gave me the bigger Penn 950 and Shimano boat rod instead.I is one happy chappy!!!

Loaded it up with 80lb braid,I need to get out on a boat real soon!!!!

Andrew

If you are in Albany get hold of some crumbed Sardines from Bevans(they tell me they are available from their processing shed)

They were selling rolls with them barbequed at the "Festivile of the Sea" in Albany easter saturday.

I bought 4 packs home(2 packs for $10) cyrovacked and frozen.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!

Andrew

After 10 days in Albany and lots of fishing expeditions I can say there are NO fish in Albany!!!!

No Salmon,LOADS of undersize Skippy and small herring,almost as annoying as Blowies as they clean your bait up soon as it hits the water.

I got bitten off twice fishing off the rocks at Two peoples Bay,lost a Nanagai and also a large slender silver fish with black stripes when the swell didnt match the rocks(any ideas what it was??? it fought for almost 10mins!!!) .Also managed to land a 40cm Skippy in the same spot,a personal best for me,I threw back 2 large Buffalo Bream around the 50cm size.The spot I found was extremely deep,dark blue water and no snags uless you let the line come right into your feet.Shame about the small fish smashing my mulies up,Im sure there was bigger beasts to be had.If anybody is fishing Two Peoples Bay,go to Little Beach,go out onto the rocks,walk around the first casm in the rocks then fish 50m or so the other side of it.Its pretty safe as far as rock fishing goes,just watch the swell.

Had to recover my mates Rangie from the Bournholme sandhill tuesday morning,broken rear suspension and rear tailshaft.That took out my "local" fishing guide for the rest of the week as he had to fix it to return to Williams.

At least the cat is happy.I saved a few small herring and yellowtail caught just incase a school of Salmon was found.

Despite not catching much,I fished more in the last 10 days than I have in the last 10 years,AND Albany turned on some spectacular weather once those easterlies dropped.

Until next time!!!!

Andrew

i have seen a very odd looking fish at hillaries lately while buffy fishing. it reacts very we4ll to the bread we use for bait. it is elongated and has silver flanks. it also has very long and wavy bright blue fins and has a big forked bright blue tail. it looks simialr to a dart or permit but is longer and not as stout. anyone have any idea what it could be?

Hi All,

I want to get an internal rod rack for my car, I remember seeing it advertised somewhere but i cant remember...can someone help or recommend where i could get one?

The one i am after is a rack so it runs down the middle of the car, for maybe 6 rods..if that makes any sense.

Cheers

meant to be in Karratha for the long weekend and just looked at the weather charts!!!!!!

Bloody wind is always around when i go up there.

Just curious if easterlie winds make for bad conditions up there? Would the island be calm??

Heading up there trying to find some mackies and some big trout, mainly on lures, so any adivce on colours, depths, general areas to try for trout would be great :)

Cheers

i havr a evinrude 30 needs restring as it is a pool start asking $300 ono

Garbo caught this nice Dhuie on board my boat today. We were fishing just south of the Coral Lumps off Cape Naturaliste.

how did you guys and gals go today as we can not go out for a while we noticed that all three marinas near us were packed to the rafters and you guys are making it hard for me

When logging on to sea rescue it pays to give a reasonable location of where you will be fishing,eg---12 nm on 240deg,not as most give at present.
Here in Carnarvon we quite often get someone logging in as going to the "islands"
Great, there are three islands covering 30nm,then there is inside the islands,outside the islands.If a boat goes missing where do we go to begin our search,stand facing the water,point an arm directly out to sea,spread the fingers on one hand and take a guess which one to use as a beginning.I had a a boat call up to extend his ETA by 1.5 hours,he did a relay to his fishing mate who was behind the island and out of coverage to see if he wanted to extend as well.When I looked at the sheet he had logged in as going to fish 25miles north east of his present location,I asked him where he was and he said exactly where I thought he was.
Had something happened and if I hadn't updated his location and he had gone missing the first place we start looking is the his last known position,some 25 miles away.It would have taken some 12 hours into the search to even get somewhere near him---too late if he is in the drink.

If for some reason you change your position by more that 2-4nm,give us a call and update,it only takes a few words on the log sheet and 30 seconds by radio and if you're one of those secretive bloke who are paranoid of someone finding your spot use your phone,We usually have heaps of good fishing spots and are not interested in stealing others that we probably have already.

Doing these little things can literally mean life or death,yours or one of the people who has to try to find you

Trent with one of many big reds caught on BJ boat charters out of Onslow
