Hi guys,

I am going up to Kalbarri for the first time with the family in a campervan early next week.

Not much space to sneak a big rod with, but can take a 9 foot 2 piece with a medium size reel and limited tackle.

Any suggestions where I could sneak off for an early morning or late arvo fish?

Can rent a boat, but don't know the area at all - river mouth any good?

What species are best to target up there?

Dave

Just wondering if anyone would know where i coudl find Navman charts quickly?

I have a Navman Tracker 5600 which only has the metro maps on it, and was hoping to find the WA maps.

Its a C-MAP NT+ memory card.

enjoy fellas

I have heard there are still some around. Has anyone seen or caught any close to shore this week. I can't get down south to chase the salmon over Easter so I am hoping I might find some Yellowtail's. Any information would be greatly appreciated, Colin Hay

Hi all

Leaving Karratha for 2 weeks of Broome time. Wondering about some light shore (or boat hire) based sports fishing around the area. Anyone have any info would be greatly appreciated. Wont tow up the traily 5.4 because of fuel but still cant keep my feet out of the water.

Unfortunately left the camera as we were only going for a crab, but decided to fish near some structure in 18m of water last saturday night. Caught 2 fish that have me baffled. Catfish head, close to metre in lenght, fight like a sportsfish with multiple runs, no give up like a true cattie, and with a large sickle tail. Silver blue in colour and almost looks like a shark in the H2O. Caught right on bottom.

Never seen one before but they fought like the blazes and had my Miller barra stick and Curado screaming.

I just wonder if anyone has any ideas about what it could have been. Both released TFAD (to fight another day).

what month is the best time to go to quobba like with the winds and water temp

hey guys

Cheers

Hey guys,
It's been flat out at work and was thinking of heading to Preston beach on Friday for a bit of a fish off the beach , might even consider doing White Hills .... 

Its been a long time since I've been to preston ... anyone be there latley? The weather is looing good on seebreeze.com except the wind is onshore for most of the day turning to S SE in the arvo.....  

Maye we may tangle with some salmon if we are lucky .. but going on most reports they are a few weeks away still.......

Returning from a trip over to Koks island,mate called out"we've run over a big sea snake".Had a quick look ,saw nothing,felt nothing and no vibration we kept on our merry way. Arriving back in Carnarvon we pulled the boat out,dropped a pinkie off to and old couple and were taking photos at his caravan when his missus said "what's that?".Now we know where it got to or whats left of it.Never felt any vibration for the 20nm after we ran over it at 22knots

hi

need as much advice as i can get my hands on for ways/lures/rigs/spots to catch salmon

ive never caught or attemped to catch one so i decided this year i will

Any little bit of advice greatly accepted

cheers

Dave

hey guys

i saw this idea on another forum and i thought it would be alot of fun and also very intersting.

the idea is, i will buy a lure (lure to be decided) and take it out for a fish, catch one (only one) fish and take a photo of it and post it up here (along with a little story). i will then pass the lure on to someone else, who will do the same thing, then they will pass it on etc..

if the lure is lost, snagged or damaged beyond reapir, the last happy fisherman must replace the lure with another equivalent and forward to the next fisherman.

this should be very interesting seeing how many fish we can get on the lure, and it can be posted all around the state (so the boys up north can show us up hahaha)and it will be a travelling lure, catching everythink from salmon down south to queenies up north.

What does everyone think?? sounds like fun yeah??

Hi guys i would like to know if anyone has any advice using lures land based and what type. I have read on here that poppers are good for taylor.

I want to try something different this comong weekend (going to try and find loonies)  i have some soft plastics but no lead heads will be getting some before the weekend. This will be the first time i will be using them. do i use a portenoster rig on the soft plastics or single hook rig?

Thanks

Riaz

Hey everyone, broke the tip on my Nitro Mag Butt on it's first day of use(today). I know they have a good warranty but no idea what to do with it now. Anybody know where I need to send it or who I need to contact? Not happy, I can tell ya that!

Thanks

G'day fellas, Where would be the cheapest place to do my RST?

Hi Guys,

Went out on Sunday and my Suzuki just stopped around Point Peron. I was only running it at about half throttle and it just died?

Checked all the obvious - petrol, vents, lines, wires, plugs, but could not get it started, spark looked weak, but I was in midday sun.

Rescued by sea rescue after an older chap came and gave us a tow towards the ramp.

Pissed off about the days fishing, I sulked off home and when I tried the motor, it started first time??

I checked for loose wires, connections etc.. but nothing - tried to simulate the fault, but no way - just runs..

Anyone ever have a similar problem with the 85ish model suzuki?

Now I will always doubt the motor - anyone know a good suzuki mechanic that can take a look?

Anyone happen to know if there have been many Macks and Tuna just around the back of rotto being caught at all??

Been pretty quiet on these fish!!

Cheers

Anyone chasing a cheap dingy for the river or a tender Ross's auctions have 2 ali and 3 fiberglass dingy's in their Police unclaimed auction to be held at 10am on Wednesday at their showrooms 242 railway pde maylands

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts and predictions are for the full moon over Easter, do you think the fish will be biting or not?  Would be very interested to hear what you guys think before and after the event.

Cheers,

Adam

g'day fellas,



Have bit of a dilemma:) Planning on going out deep with a mate on Wednesday.  However, as I haven't done a lot of deep sea fishing (by deep I mean out to the bank or past rottnest) I don't have a lot of marks and we are indecisive on whether to try our luck out past rotto or going out and do some more exploring around the direction bank and beyond.



We are heading out from Mindarie Keys (if going to the bank) or Hillarys Marina if going to rotto.  We want to get into some decent bottom fish (dhuies, baldies, pinks) so the fads etc aren't a priority at the mo.



I guess the question I'm asking is do you think the ground out NW of mindarie would be a little more untouched than the ground behind rotto? (Just in general - rather than spot specific)



Hopefully this makes sense!



Cheers

Thought this pots was a little heavier then usual.  Are there different types of Wobbegong or are they all the same?  This appears not as light or spotted as others I have seen.  Are they any good to eat? 

Gday all, probably a strange topic, but was wondering has anyone ever gone netting for Gambusia also called Mosquito Fish and Gambezi (obnoxious little freshwater guppy looking things that eat everything native)? Or anyone know of any little creek/drain systems where they might be found.

Why i ask is i have some bigger predatory aquarium fish that i like to feed them too. I have usually just caught them by hand net when fishing in the murray, blackwood and warren rivers when fishing for redfin.

Was trying to find a metro location to catch a couple. Though i know of a few likely locations, they are not the best for netting the little buggers. Becasue either
1: they are lakes, which make it hard to get them as they just swim out deeper. So prefer creeks of little water holes.
2: are in highly populated residential areas which makes me seem like a weirdo going in and netting for the buggers which would probably prompt someone to call the local ranger thinking i am chasing ducks or something, so prefer the sight to be out of the way.

Any locations or general areas i should check out would be greatly appreciated as i do love watching my fish hunt and i am not willing to pay the ridiculous price aquariums ask for them.

Cheers.

Buz.

hi guys

going up to greenhead over the easter break and just wondering what is biting there at the moment and what i could catch when i go, and some rigs for me to rig up before i go would be nice

Im mainly land based but might go out in a dinghy 

all advice greatly accepted

cheers

Dave

I see around the place some pretty reasonable prices on Penn 850's. Are they the same reel as the one I bought 15 years ago because that has been an absolute pearler.

the kifejaw ( oplegnathus woodwardi ) is found in waters between 50m - 400m deep in the southern half of austrailia, it grows to 48cm in length. knifejaws are most commonly found in the great australian bight.

Ziggy caught this fish off Hamlin bay. Pls dont say it was good eating as it was released..

hi guys

im looking at buying some ballooning gear that i can use at places like steep point and quobba. as i have never done it before i wont be spending huge $ to start. i do have a few hundred so am looking for some advice as for what direction i should head as far as a reel is concerned for makes/models.

cheers

I have been reading and hearing some good reports of large salmon schools haunting the beaches in the Busselton to Margarent River area. Sounds like those heading south for Easter might be in luck.
