with all this talk of how many crays everyone is catching thought I would put up a post how to you prepare your crays some of the ways I have done in the past

Steamed with garlic and onion

BBQ with lemon pepper

Sashimi with soy and wasabi

Anybody else out there have any recipes they would care to share considering we do have a couple of chiefs on here maybe they will add their bit

 I'm heading down to albany tomorrow for a couple of weeks and in the past when walking along Middleton beach have noticed a lot of scallop shells.

Just wondering if anyone would know what ground / depth these guys are hiding in, or even any general locations.  I have dived a fair bit down there over the past 20 years but have never seen any.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hope that rig of Point Peron doesn't move soon it could turn into the best fad we have

well I was looking for a dive buddy 4 tomorrow for a cray dive of my boat , not 1 taker better change my deodorant I think

 Hey lads

Im looking into getting the prevail OH for my squall 60. I've read up on it and seems it's a quality rod but I've been told it's a very high mount. Does anyone have any input in the rod and if it would be easy to cut it down to make a lower mount. It will be used as an lbg rod so very little casting. 

Cheers lads

 g'day all thanks for the ongoing enjoyment from the forum and invaluable info.

unfortunately my first post is regaurding problems with my chartplotter.

ive had the garmin gpsmap 750s fishfinder/gps combo since march and been a little disappointed frankly. nearly 2 weeks ago the gps froze and has not moved off that screen since. it has froze before but always been able to turn off/on and comes good. the fishfinder/sonar is still working fine and touch screen is as good as it was but just the chartplotter/gps componant is still frozen.

any info on similar past probs would be greatly appreciated, my guess is the internal antenna is stuffed?? as you can imagine its a little difficult to get technical support this time of year. anyone out there a garmin rep??

cheers.

 Hi all, are there many crabs being caught in mandurah yet, I hear they're still a little on the small size but the numbers are good. Anyone getting a feed ?

G'day everyone,

I am a first time user of this forum and relatively new to fishing and boating so go gentle with me!

We are looking to go out to the FADS to chase some dollies and was just wondering from others experience what amount of fuel is generally taken?

We have a 6m half cabin with a Johnson 150v6, 4 medium sized guys and tackle etc

Im reckoning around 300ltrs should be ample but we havnt been this far offshore before so any help and advise would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

 Going to mandurah over the Christmas break, I have a boat and would like to try some offshore fishing in that area with the family.

could anyone please advise of any spots to try for trolling and bottom fishing.

any one keen for a dive this sunday in the rocko area give me a ring 0418935456

Has anyone got a spare sheet of Carbonex for drag washers?
or if anyone has a spare set of stella 4000sw drag washers?

Thanks.

Cheers sam 

Hi good people,
can some one please help me with advise on the fitting of wobble rollers to my trailer.
I have a 6 metre quinnie on a traileze trailer which now requires a bit of repair. One of the things I would like to do whilst I have the boat of the trailer is to fit a wobble roller set up, now what I need to know is this.

What colour wobble rollers are for what purpose/type of hull.

What diameter rollers should I get.

How much weight is supported on the rollers, from what I can make out 99% of the boat weight is supported on the keel rollers and the wobble rollers on the sides carry very little weight.

Is this right.

I have thought about how many rollers I will need for each side and have come up with 3 sets of double rollers for each side all mounted on fore and aft roller brackets. That is 4 rollers each bracket in a fore and aft configuration, does that sound about right for my size boat.

Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thank you in anticipation for your much appreciated answers.

 Gday fishwreckers, was thinking a new monster mesh over head for trolling and jigging? Wanted a fwa rod but none in stock, anyone know of something for this in Roughly the same price range? It will b matched with a finnor marquesa 16 or 2o, any suggestions would b great....

 Headin down to the jetty tomorrow night just wondering what's being caught at the moment thanks 

 Hi Guys,

 Gday fellas, im thinking of upgrading my ali boat to one of three i cant decide amongst?.Im kinda hung up on the Tattoo but have always wanted a new assassin, love the hull design with the oversize chines etc. Tattoos appear very similar but i have never been in one to compare.was also looking at a bit cheaper trailcraft and pocket the left over change. Am looking around 660 range maybe 7 if the misso agrees. Any advice recommendations would be a great help, thanks in advance..

Passing through gero and carnarvon on the way to coral bay tomorrow, realised I don't have a decent filleting knife. Just after a name of a shop to get a decent knife, unless BCF or similar will have some?

Hi everyone

Ive been a member of this forum for a some time now but i have never posted anything so this is my first post.

I have to say this is one of the best forums ive been on and i have been on few and all that is thanks to you guys that make this froum so great.

Anyway, i have a question i would like to ask you lot, i did try to search about it and found some great info but that still hasnt answered my question. 

im going to walpole on monday and im taking my boat with me, its a 5 meter haines hunter with 60hp and i would like to go fishing out of estuary which would require crossing the bar which i have never done before.

so my question is, what wind direction and strength of wind is good to go out and what swell is reasonably safe to attempt with my boat.

and if any of you guys are down there and would like to either team up and go out with two boats or be a decky to help me find my way out to do some fishing would be great.

im staying at coalmine beach till 5th of january so come and say hi.

cheers

mladen

Thanks
