Fishing Discussion
Tomorrow
Submitted by glack on Fri, 2014-04-25 11:41With the weather looking great tomorow and my normal crew out of town I have a serious dilemma, either waste the day or find a deckie
I fish about 20 mile out of two rocks for dhuies, baldies and pinkys in a 6m Genesis probably leave around dawn and come back early afternoon, normal deal-split fuel, bait and catch evenly and would appreciate a hand to clean the boat at the end of the day
Let me know if you are keen

Best spots outside of Perth to catch mudcrabs
Submitted by JustGoneFishing on Thu, 2014-04-24 21:07Hi Everyone!
I was wanting to try my hand at catching mud crabs but not sure where the best locations are for them. If anyone can suggest some places to go I would be really grateful. Also I would like to ask if a licence is required to catch them as well.
Cheers

Bream size limits
Submitted by fisharoo on Thu, 2014-04-24 20:35Today I had a look at the fish ruler sticker. It says that black bream size limit was 25 and yellowfin bream was 30cms. I was a little confused as I thought that yellowfin bream was tarwine. A little research showed me that tarwine was actually a silver bream. My question is, does yellowfin bream get caught here in perth? I've been catching bream for over 20years.....and only realised this today. I've only thought only two types of bream get caught around here. Black and tarwine.

transporting boat interstate unless you wanna buy it
Submitted by Davi-d on Thu, 2014-04-24 16:36Would like to know if anyone has sent a boat interstate before? If so who did you use and how much did it cost?
I have to sell or send a friends boat over to QLD. Ive been care taking it for him and since I havent been able to sell it I need send it ASAP. Its a 5.10 Stessco cuddy. Some motors on it that would be better as moring anchors (even with 38hrs on them). The owner is a little greedy but I'd be able to talk him down on anyones behalf. there is a bowrider on boatsales asking 18k I think this thing is worth 13k with the current motors

Biomaster SWA XG thoughts?
Submitted by Formerathlete on Wed, 2014-04-23 16:42Hi all,
Anyone own or has used a Shimano Biomaster SW A XG? (2014 catalogue)
I'm considering the 5000 SW A XG to use on an Assassin Amia 11' spin rod.
The reel specs sound great - gear ratio 6.2:1, 11kg drag and weighs only 315g but I wouldn't mind getting feedback.
Cheers

Exmouth charters
Submitted by Can't Catch on Wed, 2014-04-23 06:54Hey guys. Has anyone got any recommendations for charters up in Exmouth they've been on recently? Looking back on old posts only shows up a few of the smaller operators but i'll be needing a boat to fit around 10-20 people on. Blue horizon, Gamex, Reel teaser, Sea venture and Exmouth deep sea are a few I've found on google but no reviews.
Thanks

South West Report
Submitted by Lowza on Tue, 2014-04-22 14:04As an avid regular landbased angler I was yet to catch an Australian salmon of size. My previous PB of a pair of 1kg salmon trout in the daweville cut which was soon to be beaten!
Day 1,
My mate and I headed down to Walpole Saturday morning arriving at 1pm; we were on conspicuous beach by 1.30pm. With the massive swells and abundance of peckers 1 Kilo mulies has disappeared and so had 3 Hours.
I was ready to leave when I then decided to pull out a 3 Ounce White Richter Plug, a lure I have never used before. A mate in Perth told me to cast this out, about dozen bullet casts and I was over it again. When suddenly I noticed this torpedo shape loom up to it the wave with excitement I yell out to my mate on my left to see if he can see it by the time I turn back and I am on and the Penn Prevail is at 90degrees and the SSM V Spinfisher was singing with sounds of drag. After about 5 -10 minutes or so of some incredibly intense fighting, we beached it and it would have to be one of my best fishing moments of my life so far! After this it was to the pub for celebration bevies and double disappointment of both wa footy teams.
Day 2,
We headed to Boat Harbour, Denmark from rumours of Salmon being in abundance. We arrived there in the morning the swell was huge, police were there warning us regarding the dangers of fishing of these rocks, I proceeded to go fishing after do some assessing of the conditions the appropriate location with appropriate gear gaff/PFD/long rods.
First cast with a mulie on a 3/0 gang had me screaming for the gaff, I made the early call on salmon, however what surfaced was the last thing on my mind a big buff bream well & truly 2-3kg/60cm . I consider Buff Bream to be a shit fish but due to the sheer size I was unaware of big they grow? And fight of this fish I was rather impressed, however the camera was not on me and I wasn’t going to keep it obviously so back into the drink he went!
From then on the Skippy came on smashing full mulies, god it was a good reminder of how hard they fight I landed 4 but I dropped at least 3 not being quick enough to get them of reef I was trying hard to balance putting enough pressure on to keep them out of reef without ripping the hook’s they have such soft mouths. My mate who was with me who was new to fishing caught around half a dozen herring.
Back to conspicuous beach that arvo for final fish of the quick trip. At 5.30pm I have a massive run on a full herring I had cast out into the surf and before long I was onto yet again but this salmon was even bigger than the last every bit of 10 min fight up and down the beach and it was landed and the trip was over.
We cleaned all fish and distributed across friends & family as these fish do not keep well. I was rather impressed with the taste of salmon, prepared correctly ie.bled.
Sorry this report is a little long! and photos are kinda shitty.

Reel Service Tools help.
Submitted by exp2000 on Tue, 2014-04-22 13:55Hi.
I am down from Broome in the big smoke for a few days and would like to talk to pro reel service techs in regards to sourcing specialist tools for reel servicing.
Looking for
"strong genuine professional" dental pics,
miniature bearing pullers and
miniature circlip pliers and the like.
Does anyone know of any odd second hand or speciality shops that might stock these?
So far I have tried RC shops and Jaycar but not much luck.
I have left a message with John Devitt and am hoping he will call back.
TIA,
Brett from Broome.
