New lure casting rod

 Snapped my graphite 9ft casting rod last weekend, spewing I loved that rod. Any recommendations.  Didn't want to spend more than $200. Will be matched with either slammer 560 or 360 depending on species and strong enough to throw 65gram metals for salmon down south. Cheers boys


Kalbarri Questions

 Hi guys, heading up to kalbarri on Sunday and just wondering if anyone has been up there in the last week or two, if so I was wondering what area the mackies are in because last year we just couldn't get on to them! Have tried the search function but can't find any recent mack reports. Also is it worth soaking a big bait at night around the river mouth or off some of the jettys for shovel nose,mullys,bull sharks ect?

 

cheers,

Fish ID please

Hi,

Just got back from Exmouth and I have a question about a fish that we caught. We pulled it up in 190 metres of water out from Tantabiddi. Could someone please tell me what it is and if it is any good to eat.

Thanks,

Ken

It's a long way to go if they're not there...

White Point

 Im heading to White Point next week for a night or 2. Never been there and don't know anyone that has.

A couple of questions I have are-

1. What are the tracks and beach like? Is it a hard 4x4 track or a nice easy 4x4? I don't mind either way but would be nice to know.

2. What is the beach like for fishing there? Are there lumps of reef there or all beach? Im guessing we will catch the same as most beaches like Salmon, Tailor, Herring, hopefully a shark.. Anything I should know about the fishing there? Gear to take..

 

Thanks in advance :)

Rob


Who's heading out tomorrow or dumb question

 Looking like a pearler of a day on the water, maybe too nice with lack of drift. Will try it all, troll , burley up and bottom bounce. Finger's crossed ay boys.

Out Around Rotto

Hi Guys,

Taking the mrs for a night on the boat at rotto on Sunday, and wanting to get out early for a fish in the morning.

Plan is to do some bottom bashing, maybe plastics. Hoping to get some pointers as to any general areas worth a go. Don't like heading too far off the back when its just the two of us.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - not looking for co-ords or anything but any general tips would be good.

Cheers,
Lavs

Sambo off rocks in Denmark by accident when going for Salmon

 Hey guys we were in Denmark for a couple of days for Salmon when this 12kg Sambo took the live herring inside a bay(Not straight out off the point as you can see in the photo, that's where it headed straight for after taking line).

Anyone else bringing up anything nice unnintentionally while going for Salmon recently? Also brought up a decent Bonito.


Can't get full Throttle

Gday Fellas 

Got another problem that I'm sure one of you will know the answer to!!

Was out on the water yesterday had no dramas til I was about 20kms out and the engine 

started to struggle!! I immediately thought it was bad fuel and inspected the water trap filter that

runs between fuel tank and engine and the bottom of it was full of shit!! I drained it connected back up and tried priming it but the primer wouldn't pump til it was hard!! Got it started and putted back in at 7 knots but yeah to me it's like there's a block in fuel line between primer and tank!!

Does this sound right??

Cheers Didz

Heads UP - Fake Paypal email

Heads up guys

it keeps coming round, different face, same scam.

I just recieved a fake email from Paypal saying I need to re-activate my account due to unsual activity. Be careful and check direct with Paypal.

This is a scam. check the following

1\ it says Dear member (and not your name)

2\ when you click on the button to access your account, it takes up to a website that is a duplicate of Paypal's. check the folllowing

   2.1/  try the different menu options, you'll find they don't work, the only on that will work is the login data.

   2.2/ check the linked address, it'll be different to paypals

   2.3/ play safe and go to the paypal site directly through your browser and not through the offered link

3\ the language is suspect, not the normal writing style.

4\ delete the email or move it to your junkmail folder.

these sites will dump your username and password on a different site and the scammers will own a stella +++++

Its difficult to catch them as they operate internationally and seem to rotate through countries, looks like it our turn.

 

cheers
