They look impressive twin drag system lighter weight deeper spools.. coming in sizes 5000, 6000, 8000, 10 000, 14 000, 20 000 and a huge 25 000 il definitely be pre ordering one thats for sure. Whats everyones thoughts??

got a pm from a certain young bloke that is a member of fishwrecked asking for some advice on spearfishing made me start to think back to the days I was first diving with old paper sounders and no gps what we used to do was get towed behind the boat ( about 50meters back those old blue band merks used to spew out lots of oil which could make you feel crook) once we found ground we would we would dive it and then move on all up it probably wasn't the right thing to do as we took many times the limits we have today

just throwing it out there i was just wondering if anyone knows of any good spots for diving foe scallops,ive seen a fwe in the swan river but there very small,i know they used to commercialy fish for them in cockburn sound so im guessing they might be somewhere in the sound,any help would be much appreciated

hey guys I have just been told today that there are fish in lake Joondalup does anyone know if this is true and if so what species and are you aloud to fish there I always thought that only turtles and tadpoles lived in there .I live near there in Woodvale and its only a 20 in bike ride so it would be great if I could go fishing there while the oceans a bit ruff to go out on any info would be great thanks.

on Friday night,(23/08/13) just before the ffb out from woodies me and the bro decided to just stop for a look. we dropped down our lines and to our surprise as we broke the water quite a bright light flicked down the line as it sunk. same thing winding back up. about 2-3 meters from the surface the disturbance to the water from our lines created the light. for the record we weren’t smoking anything. id be interested to hear what this phenomena is.

 hey boys sold my little tinny and about to buy a 5 meter ali but woulnt mind tagging along even see jigging done first hand I have all my own gear freezer full off bait more then happy to buy booze bait and fuel and more then happy to return the favor after I buy my boat so plz inbox me only issue I work monday to friday 

 headed out saturday to try boat a feed, about half way out and the gps starts playin up (ohh nooo) but lil did i know by the time i was almost at my first mark she was completely dead and was in fish heaven... :(. tryed everything i could to get her back but no luck. it still hasnt sunk in that i am back where i started a fair few years ago. spotless... i thought instead of crying and beating myself blue i would celebrate her death, even gave her a burial. lol so just thought id put up a few pics of the fish she got me (excuse the rude head in pic1) and go get a new one. ( got the hds) now just need to go find all the lumps again. eery feeling starting from scatch again but thats life. just gratefull to have a tub. so if anyone has any spots and cant access a tub just send us a pm and were out the next day the weather gods shine on us. RIP gurtie, fun times... 

Hi All- Can anyone recommend a marine shop NOR who is generally competitive and who can also fit marine electronics. I'm after a Furuno 627 and want to get one fitted by the weekend.

Also what would you expect to pay to have only a transducer fitted? I already have the Furuno mount and power cables installed from a previous model.

cheers/Ben

hey guys I have just booked a day out fishing with swan river boat charters of Fremantle or Cockburn sound and wondering if anyone's been out with them and if there good any feedback would be good thanks.

Might turn out to be a reasonable day on the water out from Ocean Reef

Been checking Buoy, Seabreeze & Willy.

Fingers crossed, happens to coincide with my B'Day which would be a treat to get out there and bag my first Dhuie!

Anyone using these over here on the west coast?? Supposed to be the ducks nuts over east for reds especially

 Hi all ,

does anyone have any info on how jurien bay offshore is fishing at the mo. Any info would be much appreciated cheers

what is the difference between nannigai and bright snapper if any

what i thought was a nannigai , people told me last nigth is a bright snapper -not a nannigai

I caught this little fella yesterday in approx 35mtrs, quick pic and then released, did not measure but say it was approx. 25cm..

 Interested to hear opinions from the placcy boys regarding prefered reel ratio?

I'm looking at getting a new 4000 size and yet to decide on the speed.

Cheers boys.

One for Timo to get him drooling,the gear of choice used for yesterdays outing

 Dave caught this nanny early in the week. It was caught on a jig in 40m off Yallingup. It was 66cm long and weighed 4kg. One of the biggest I've seen caught in that depth. He also scored the biggest dhuy of the day in front of an onlooker

 Hi guys

I see people talk about making sure they fish the tide change offshore. Something I haven't thought of. On Saturday I was off Hillary's fishing some new ground, plenty of show for one baldy. I decided to head to a spot I found last time out that looked alright to fish the tide change and bagged out in 2 drifts. Do you guys find the tide can make a big difference, I was told an hour either side is best.

Cheers

gday all thought I would write a report about our recent trip to false/steep.

day one
my brother staked a tyre at the water crossing while changing it we spotted some fish that turned out to be giant herring a quick rig up saw two land. got to false and set up camp then sampled a few brews ,did a quick recon to the cliff and it looked good ,back to camp to gear up and rehydrate.

day two
a quick walk throwing poppers off the reef/beach saw a few nice tailor to 3kg landed then off to the cliff.
mate and I landed a few small pinkys and some nice big silver bream and one nice baldy about 4kg for tea.
time to rehydrate and try the reef/beach again for tailor landed a nice one about 4.5 kg and missed a few others more hydration needed.

day three
quick reef/beach session saw three more tailor landed with the biggest 3 kg then to the cliff again, the swell had jacked up to about 4m and made the fishing hard but persistence payed off with half a dozen silver bream, two size pinkys and a red throat landed.
hydration time again!

day four
was somewhat hard to get going (over hydrated!)but after a long lazy bath was off for a drive to crayfish bay for a look as the swell was still pumping we did not fish. my brother went to see paul at steep to see if our camp spot was vacant and we packed up and moved to shelter bay to rehydrate and set up a new camp.

day five
tinnys in and off fishing couldn't work out why the tinny was laboring, anyway first spot dropped in nailed two nice baldys. then get up the front you blokes were sinking , high tailed it at 3 knots back to camp,tinny out and two cracks found where someone has used two tek screws to fix a loose skid on the trailor??? f**%k!! off to see paul and 4 hours later return to camp with a patched up tinny ,rehydrate time!!!!

day six
check the sika has cured and tinny in and not a drop so off fishing and what a day bagged out with our quota of baldys to 7kg two honey comb cod three pinkys and a nice estery cod .lets hydrate!!!!
day seven in the tinny and fishing landed two nice baldys two pinkys and then furgyl followed us around for the rest of the day. getting fed up with feeding up the sharks we went in and sampled a few coldies.

day eight
into the tinny and off fishing managed four baldies with two being about 4kg and two pinkys the sharks were every where we went. back to camp to rehydrate and start packing for our departure in the morning.

all in all it was one of the better trips I have done to the area with good company and good weather and fishing.

the damage
one staked tyre, two cracks in my mates tinny, one spare tyre holder broken off boat trailer, one number plate lost, trailor lights on one tinny not working, two wheel bearings changed at dongera on the way home, one small chest freezer no longer works, my mates eskymate freezer no longer works and the sd card with all the footage and photos from my gopro packed it in!also blew up a saltist 50h trying to muscle a shark. we have had smooth sailing the last few trips but just unlucky this time round.

I can assure you all prekorshuns were taken and we had a blast cant wait for next year!!
ps a big thanks to paul for the use of his tools and for letting us cut the ass out of the old tinny he had there.

Headed out to the five fathom off mandurah with a mate of mine thats never been out fishing before, he caught a few wrasse followed by a western australian devilfish and a few trevally, i was wishing for something a bit larger when my prayers were answered..... my wilson venom live fibre rod loaded with a mullie ran off screaming, 10 minutes later after several strong runs emerged this wonderful amberjack, my best fish ever it weighed in at a little over 17 kilos. what a day to remember, needless to say my mate wants to go again very soon. just to confirm guys amberjack or sambo????
