Question for the GT poppers
Submitted by JoRn on Fri, 2013-10-11 07:45Guys,
Just preparing myself for a GT popping expedition, being a complete noob in this area i have a question to ask.
when jigging and fishing in perth i use the Daiwa fishing belt http://daiwafishing.com.au/fighting-belt/
i like it because it i can keep it on all day and it doesnt bother me.
would this suffice for GT popping? or would those plate fighting belt similar to the JM ones be better off? I have asked a few ppl with mixed responses.
i just dont want to be caught out wishing i had one.
been watching alot of youtube videos and i notice alot of guys have the back support as well...out of 10 would you recommend getting one?

Fishing Dampier / Karratha area
Submitted by Occy85 on Thu, 2013-10-10 20:07Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am moving to dampier for work and will be living there. I am towing my 7m noble boat with me and the road trip starts this saturday the 12th of October. My father is taking two weeks off work to help me tow my boat over and to spend some time with me in dampier and I was hoping that there would be someone who would like to share a couple of off shore fishing spots at all. My dad is a keen fisherman and it would make his holiday if he could catch something to brag about when he flies back home to QLD. I know I am only new to this website but if anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction that would be awesome as I would love to see my father get that fish of a lifetime while over in dampier. Thanks everyone and I look forward to hearing from you.

Submitted by longshot on Thu, 2013-10-10 12:55Has anybody got experience in making a brine to keep per-rigged Gardies and Mullet fresh while trolling all day? What is the best way to do this? I have read about using blueing liquid to make the bait look better. Anybody tried this and does it work?

How is Jurien Bay fishing at the moment.
Submitted by Fishobrad80 on Thu, 2013-10-10 07:59Heading to Jurien tonight to fish with Whitey tomorrow, just wondering how the land-based fishing is at the moment? Are there still squid to be found off the jetty? Are the beaches clean, or filled with weed?

Using teasers
Submitted by Doooma on Wed, 2013-10-09 20:15After fishing all these years, I have never used teasers before...
simple question.... How far back behind boat should they be set at?
i usually have a lure just at back of whitewash, and another further back, but no idea where I really should set a teaser!

River fishing
Submitted by garethgkr on Tue, 2013-10-08 23:44I promised my neighbours kids that I'll take them fishing. They decided to fish the river for bream and maybe catch some blowies (hopefully its not the latter).
I've tried Bayswater and Salter Point a few weeks back and got nothing.
Anyone had any luck recently? If you don't mind sharing where abouts as where to start it would be great.

Assassin Landbased Fishing Club
Submitted by snapper on Tue, 2013-10-08 20:22The newly formed Assassin Landbased Fishin Club held their inaugural fishing competition at Hill River on Saturday 5/10/2013. Fishing conditions were tough with lots of weed and smaller fish around, standout fish for the night was a Sandbar Shark of 65.88 kg for Shaun Visser and overall winner of the night. The 2nd and 3rd spots were taken by Alan Davies and Sherbert with Tailor and Flathead weighed in.
Thanks to everybody who fished on the night, tight lines and see you at the next competition

sinkers for wagoe
Submitted by Versus on Tue, 2013-10-08 17:52Getting pumped for an upcoming trip to wagoe over the christmas break, being pretty amatuer at beach fishing i was wondering what type and size sinkers people use up there? Have heard that I can expect to lose a lot of tackle, have seen on gumtree a few different people do bulk sinkers for cheap, thinking this might be a good option; anyone done this before or know of better options?
cheers for any info

Bent St ramp dredging
Submitted by aaasnapper on Mon, 2013-10-07 15:28Just came back from Bent st boat ramp, and had a quick chat to the dredging guys. Looks like the local council have realised the proposed dredging location is not ideal, and have now postponed the works until they decide on a better location. I could have told them that before they started dredging, and in fact the dredging contractors told them the same thing.
