Hello fellow fishos
Heading down Busselbury ways (busselton/bunbury). have never fished the busso jetty before and i heard its pretty good. has anyone ever fished the jetty before and if so has any advise for a first timer.
cheers

As usual I turn up at the mole to see the action, but not get any. I was going to get up at 5am, but decided to sleep in till 5:20am. Dammit, it always happens like this.

A school of them was just passing through about 6:05 - 6:15, there were three hookups but only one landed. My scales are only marked to 12kg, and they pulled them out about a third as much again, so perhaps 18kg, this was after it had spent a few hours on the rocks and had been bled as well!

Apart from that fish, all I saw landed was a few herring, a squid and I jagged a few pathetic garfish. I was probably there 6am till about 11 perhaps.

Went woodies point jetty , hoping for something big, saw a couple tuna suprisingly right off the end... Grabbed a lure, Too late :(

Ended up spending bout 1 hour catching a mix of mackeral,skippy and yellowtail.

Stuck the big baits out, First rod went off (my beast of a rod) fought like a snapper, i was hell excited but when it came up it was a shovelnose :(

About 4-5kg

Then got a port jackson about 3kg

Then went home, stopped at servo to get a pie, $4 for this little crappy size of half my fist pie.

It sucked.

Hey poeple, as i missed out on a stella 8000 on ebay (won the bid but it turned out they had none in stock and still dont) i am in the market for an 8000 or 10000FA. If anyone wants to unload one at a competitive price let me know. Otherwise as soon as the ebay shops in the us get them back in stock, im going to get one

Cheers

just wondering about somewhere mtro to fish tomorrow landbased. dont wanna go to hillaries or the narrrows. my thoughts were
Canning Bridge
Cottesloe
mindarie
most of the Swan River

any ideas to whats firing there at the moment?

Does anybody know if the last FAD is still out there after last Sat's storm?

Ok, now remember that I am new to saltwater fishing, and relatively new to Australia, so that pretty much makes me a noob all around.

 So a few times now while out fishing, we've come upon an active baitball.  Problem is, we can't ever seem to cath anything around them.  I understand that just bc fish are actively feeding on bait, does not 100% guarantee, but I think I could use some tips on how to attack them.

 So give me your best shot!

How do you approach one?

Are there ways to tell what is feeding?

Do you cast or troll?

What lures?  or do you baitcast?

any and all help is much appreciated!  Thanks! 

G'day all,

I just dropped in to to say hi after joining this site the other day.

First chance I've had to log on.

Tho I'm new here, I am no stranger to WA and Perth fishing as I have been around since late 1973 - ex US and NZ

I have been away since the end of 2004 and recently returned. So I have a lot of unfished hours to catch up on.

With no boat except 12' tinnie without motor things will be a bit restricted for a while.

I hope to run into some of you great people on fishing outings around this fair town and afar and look forward to many hours online here at Fishwrecked.

Broke my draught with this fine little specimen at Hilarys Marina south end last week. Went 3.43kg and made for 4 delicious meals.

Cheers,  Howz60

You just don't know what might be on the end of your line next time you go fishing. Have a look at this link.

Hi chaps
These are the 2007-2008 WA Fisheries Department Major Initiatives For Management of the State’s Recreational Fisheries as outlined in the WA Budget papers.
• Commence a major research project into the sustainability of blue swimmer crabs on the West Coast.
• Implement new management arrangements to protect crab stocks in the West Coast region.
• Commence Integrated Fisheries Management planning for demersal finfish in the West Coast region to determine future allocations between the recreational and commercial fishing sectors.
• Finalise Integrated Fisheries Management allocations between the commercial and recreational fishing sectors for the rock lobster and abalone resource.
• Review fishing consultative structures to ensure effective communication and consultation with recreational and commercial fishers and their peak representative bodies under an Integrated Fisheries Management framework.
• Review freshwater finfish fisheries in the Southwest, including the interaction between trout and other native fish to ensure the protection of native fish whilst promoting a viable recreational trout fishery.
• Review State-wide possession limits for recreational finfish to ensure long-term sustainability.
• Review management arrangements for key demersal species in the West Coast region.

Estimated budget outlay for 2007-08
Just over 10.2 million (That makes the $2 million the Federal Government has budgeted for the whole of Australia look pretty poor).

A WA Team called the Pilbarians is third. Team made up of Mark Cottrell, Ben Robinson and Justin Nell.

661 barra caught by the end of Day 2

Leaving for Exmouth at the end of the week. Wondering if any other Fishwrecked members will be there in the next two weeks.

Hello all, I'm curious to know where on your boat do you attach your Sea Anchor while drift fishing. I always attach it to the Skippers side of the boat about mid-ship so the boat drifts sideways causing more drag to help slow the boat down and also allows you to fish comfortably out the back. Does anyone attach their Sea Anchor to the rear or any other area of the boat and for what reasons?

Cheers Kev

Hey guys,
We put a couple of movies on youtube about some fish we caught.....Here's the links.

The Northern Territory Fisheries Department fears a foreign species of fish is heading to the Territory and says it should strike fear into fisherman.

The tilapia fish reproduces in huge numbers and eats the food sources of native fish like barramundi.

Fisheries' aquatic pest management coordinator Helen Cribb compares the fish to another well known pest marching across north Australia - the cane toad.

"They'll basically take over a habitat. They're a stronger competitor, reproduce in larger numbers, able to tolerate a broader variety of conditions with a much wider food source.

"They're effective competitors and they're also a very aggressive species, so they will push other species out of the way."

She says the aggressive fish has recently been spotted in Queensland's river systems which drain into the Gulf of Carpentaria, and are now posing a major threat to the Top End's freshwater ecosystems.

The tilapia fish is about 30 centimetres long, either dark grey or dark olive green in colour and has a pointed dorsal fin.

Anyone who spots the fish is urged to contact the department.
