hi everyone just wondering how the crabs are going around perth and in mandurah as i was thinkin of chasing some...

Just wondering if there are any sales on at Tackle shops ATM or soonish??
Getting a bit low on the sharp pointy bits.

jst wondering how everyone else is goin fishing the swan? picked up two black bream yesterday both round 25 on a hardbodied around the guilford area.

I used a Drift bait for about half the day and I missed atleast 5 real good bites.  The fish would be biting and I would hook up for about 1-2 seconds then It would come off.

Using 7/0 Gamakatsu octopus hooks, 100lb supple black magic trace and a 5oz barrel sinker, baited the 2 hooks with Sgt Baker, Squid and both seemed as bad as each other, for missing a hook up.

And I should mention that I have caught about 10 dhuies on the same style rig and baldchin and snapper.  Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong.

Wednesday looks like it will be a good for fishing, so who's heading out and what are your plans?

We are hopefully chasing dhuies up at tworocks/yanchep.

Merry Christmas and Tight Lines

Cheers
Dean

Whats happening in the morning weather in Perth, Was looking at going for a dive tomorrow for some crays and will need some others aswell, easy can take three, maybe four if your all close, BUT todays seabreeze prediction was 16-17 knots but recorded 6-8 knots.

Whats the weather actually been doing in the mornings, I just got back into Perth today, has it been blowing in the mornings or not. Can head out after 9 ish. 

If you were going on a Skywest mystery flight in W.A somewhere and allowed to take one combo from your arsenal, which one would you choose?

punters - any other ken boatfull want to share a house for the last week of jan. Already got a boat full but three more would make for cheap accom - about 180 each for the week in  a nice house!!

Weather looks decent, thinking of bringing my kids for a fish.

Fisheries’ compliance checks to step-up this weekend

Fisheries and Marine Officers will be out in force this weekend, targeting metropolitan boat
ramps; to make sure people are complying with fisheries laws and marine safety rules.
The warmer weather attracts more fishing and boating activity off the Perth coast and the
Department of Fisheries is calling on boat users to keep safety in mind at all times and reminding
fishers to be aware of the fishing laws.

South Metropolitan Region Compliance Manager John Breeden said Fisheries and Marine
Officers would be at boat ramps and out on the water constantly during summer.
“We have a very important role in monitoring marine safety rules and also to check fishers are
doing the right thing by not exceeding bag and size limits or breaching other fishing rules,” Mr
Breeden said.

“Boat ramp checks will be done at different times of the day, so, if people are heading out on the
water, we will be checking whether they have the appropriate marine safety equipment on board
and, if they are returning, we will check the catch that fishers have brought back with them as
well their safety equipment.”

Anyone wanting more information about boating safety can find out more from the Department
for Planning and Infrastructure website at www.dpi.wa.gov.au/marine. Details on fishing rules
are available online at www.fish.wa.gov.au. Click on the recreational fishing tab at the top left of
the home page and follow the links to your area of interest.
Mr Breeden said fishing rules were designed to protect the sustainability of stocks and ensure
that there would be fish for the future.

“At this time of year there is a lot of interest in rock lobster fishing, which is one of our fisheries
that requires a licence, so fishers should make sure they have a receipted licence or the official
licence card from the Department of Fisheries,” he said.
“As well as boat ramp and on the water patrols, Fisheries and Marine officers also have vehicles
and boats, with high tech communications, capable of targeting remote or hard to reach
locations.

“Of course, the bottom line is that the community expects us to deal with those people who
ignore or breach the rules and we encourage fishers and other members of the public that see
suspicious activity to report it to FishWatch on 1800 815 507.”

Hi Guys,
I'm on the hunt for a large prefered plastic container to use to flush my outboard 200hp Suzuki Muffs wont do the job. Anybody got any ideas and where I might be able to get such a large container, I've seen the round plastic chemical barrels but not sure as to how people have aquired them I'm open to any ideas and how to get my hands on one, Cheers Kev.

Anyone got any fishing plans this weekend? What are the conditions like in Perth?

Thinking I might go looking for a muddy or two as we have medium to strong south westers, will just have to see how we pull up after the cricket and a few bevvies.

Honsu - just wondering what is happening with the charter for the 30th??

Just wondering if there is any scallies around at the woodman point jetty, I was thinking about going down to get some bait.
