Super Deep fishing is becoming very popular and something we've been doing for many years.

The last FW Special on " Super Deep " gear was very popular so we have repeated it again!






* Powered by saltwater.
* Lasts more than 100 hours.

Esca Light " HOW DOES IT WORK" Check out the Youtube Link below:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNTk8dpF84E&NR=1&feature=endscreen


The Esca have been proven around the world and we have been asked for them before also but now after using them both with bait/patternoster rig setup and jigs we're impressed. They have a soft fade light and soft blink light so not intrusive and very stream line so perfect for bait rigs or jigs!!!!

We've used the Esca fading blue and the Esca blinking blue in the Super Deep and couldnt see a difference between the two but they work. We know a few commercial fisherman doing the Super Deep stuff with Esca and they have been using them periodically on different drop lines to test the results and they said to us they got more bigger fish and more blue-eye with the Esca attached " interesting ".

Oceanside Custom Super Deep Rig;


This is the rig we use for Super Deep species when using baits. Made of quality components, heavy duty hardware, two droppers with strong 14/0 circle hooks, long lumo sleeves to enhance the bait in the dark depths and the lumo sleeves also help with teeth abrasion resistence.

0409251717 

are there any spanish mackeral spots landbased or inshore

Morning fellow Fisho's.

Hey all im heading to Esperance on Thursday for a long overdue fishing holiday

Last time i was there the Big Jetty (Tanker) was closed for repairs etc??

Does anyone on here from Espy know if its been re-opened??

I an staying 500M walk away from there so it bloody better be ;)

P.s If any locals would like to let me know whats biting and where i would appreciate the info.

wish me luck legends

 Looking to find out as much as possible about kevlacats from your knowledge, especially the 5.2 and 5.8 models. Are they any good? How well do they hold value? Is there any difference between the ones manufactured in America vs the ones made locally? 

Hey fellas just chasing opinions on fishing from the yak in either coral bay or exmouth.. To me it looks like it might be better in coral bay with the reef in close .. I havnt been to either of them so ill prob just go to both , cheers...

 hi guys

looking for opinions for a lure casting rod beteen 7-8ft to match with a stradic fj 20lb braid. looking no more than $200

was looking at the samaki zing 7ft 10lb-20lb or the 15lb-25lb. would like the wou;d to be able to belt out up to 50g.

cheers lads

 looking for a very heavy 9-11ft rod for running 80lb to its limit, so far my options are Azusa 24-37kg LBG or a custom United Composites US100 blank 10' 6" with fuji guides ect ect. anyone else know of anything that is in the length im after that can handle 50LB + of drag in a game chair and harness setup mounted to my car?? looking at running a Avet TRX 50 or Jigging Master PE20 with 1800m of PE6 saltiga boat braid and 37kg mono topshot with 400-600lb leaders.

not sure how to go about it or whats going ot be best bang for my buck??

Went out today and got 14 big squid off one of my productive patches out from Hillarys. I had a new squid esy cleaning tool set to try.

The Verdict

1. Easy to get the head and guts out without making a mess if you're care full, just practice.
2.It is easier, I find, just using your fingers to take off the wings. I guess more practice using the tool. Looks easy.
3.Turning the tube inside out was the tricky part, but managed in the end. When you pull the quiver out, it starts to pull the bottom inside out anyway, handy to know this, then just stick in the tool, use the correct size, I prefer the yellow(smallest one) even for the bigger squid.

The water was pretty bumpy today in close, so making cleaning all the more harder with slippery squid

It is a handy tool to have if you're not exactly an expert. I just watched the vid again, so next time I will just need to sharpen my technique

cheers

Heading to Wedge this weekend, anyone know where some good fishing spots are? Also what is being caught there at the moment?

thanks

I'm off to Quobba for the first time in about a week's time and i have accumulated a range of lures for the trip. 

Now do you guys have a particular order or any advice as to what lure gets tied on first and/or for particular conditions? 

Do i just start from the top and fish the surface first thing in the morning and then work my way down the water column? 

Or do i just blindly pick a lure out of the box and try my luck?

Basically i have a range of lures and variety is the spice of life, but where do i start???

I'll be bringing 65-85gram metals, ritcher plugs, various poppers, xrap sxr14s, xrap subwalks, adagio heavys, bluescodes and a few packets of zman 8' streakz. 

What species can I encounter this time of year?  I guess that'll also affect lure selection.

Hi,

Can someone please help me out with the best knot to tie 50lb braid to 80lb leader?

Thanks

Ryan

Look in App store for "compass eye". Its a beauty. And a great navigation aid as well! So now if anyone is taking more than one phone photo from more than one position, they most likely got you pinged. Even from a distance that will not be suspicious to you.

Day All,

So sunday was meant to be a bit of me and the wife time as the youngen was over the inlaws- so i thought beauty lets go fishing - rang up me mate and as usaul he was keen as musted (Jig King) so the mrs was on the backburner straight away, conditions didnt look flash but i thought this could work out well, she wont ask me to go again, anyway - it was a decent swell and lifted the boat a few times - was getting death stares as she was not happy to say the least, she got through it ok but added i wont be going out in those conditions again!!!

we were on a mission to grab some snapper in close on the wk end, managed 1, couple or sambos, a leopard shark and the usual skippy. As usual my mate seems to always get the best fish, and im left with the Camera - good to get something on board anyway. Snapper went 72cm and weighed 5kg.

Cheers All Dan

Hi all,

Having never fished with any other colour except dark green (Fins) and pink (Bionic), I was wondering what peoples favourite colour is for bottom fishing.

Chris

 Just a thought, but has anyone tried using Yabbies as bait before? Any feedback would be appreciated. 

Tailor and squidding rods for the jetty. Okuma Goth GO30 15Lb Power Pro Bite motion + TackleRat for tailor, Okuma Goth GO40 20Lb Power Pro Bite Motion + TackleRat for squid. Can't w8 till tailor season slamming some 50cm+ tailor on that tiny kids rod, it is going to be fun.

 I am looking at getting a light rod to fish poppers for whiting, one rod I am looking at is a 3-6g rated 4'6'' rod by All Japan Network.  I am just wondering if the lenght of the rod will be too short?  Any advice?

 Hi Guys, 

Thinking of getting a new jigging/overhead reel around $150-$200. Looking at something like the Ajiking pro jigger or Avet SX. Any recommendations?

Cheers.  

One of the greats, has past away. Play it long and play it loud.
R.I.P

 Hi all,

We have just got settled in Mullaloo and ive wet a line on the south mole at Freo with no luck. Coming from a fresh water fishing background in the uk im not up on the old salty stuff, with me I have a spinning rod and a reel witn some 20lb braid, i have numerous sinkers, plugs, rubber baits and more hooks than i know what do to with.

What im after is what set up to use and what rigs to catch a feed of fish, ive even got some squid jigs in the hope of a little calamari.

So any pointers or advice would be great or if anyone would let me tag allong on a fishing trip that would be great, im not working just yet so i can get to the water anytime between applying for jobs and getting our ozzie paperwork in order.

Cheers

It appears that Tony Burk A.K.A. he who sleeps with P E W has sent that great treasurer/fisheries minister a letter threatening that "if you don't fix this problem then I will probably remove your right to export" Mr Buswell said
The letter is in reference to the large number of whales being caught up in the ropes of cray pots. According to Mr Buswell there are usually only three entanglements each year as whales migrate up the west coast to breeding grounds of the Kimberly, but the number has risen to about 20 since May. I wonder where this number came from
Strange I can't remember the coast being covered in dead whales who have been killed by becoming entangled in cray pot ropes, or seeing on the news every second night stories about whales being saved by Fisheries or D E C officers cutting ropes off them.
It's also a bit strange that the Western Rock Lobster Council chairman Basil Leano said " that though he thought Canberra's warning was less severe than Mr Buswell suggested, the loss of the industry's live export licence would be disastrous"
It would be interesting to see how this number of 20 came about, now I'm sure this Burk wouldn't tell porkies at the instigation of P E W - or would he?

But catching it is much more fun!

was thinking about heading out tomorrow from woodies. conditions dont look 'ideal' but still fishable. i have a 17ft swift craft and was going to the ffb for a look. do you think im wasting my time or is it worth it? i only just bought a boat so by no means a seasoned vet. im more asking for advice. thanks.

Hey guys,

have a 6.1 alli boat 2 ish tonnes. the one to the left and take it north when I can couple times per year.

Looking for a second hand towing vehicle. have another car for everyday use so really one just for towing. used for horse floats pretty often as well.

am only looking at post 2004ish so please Im not after a GQ

have been looking at the 2004 ish HZJ 105 landcruisers. the 4.2 diesel model (non turbo) best fits my price range. (don't want to go back as far as the 80 series...just too old)

My question is really does this have enough guts. .....at 96KW does the torque the 4.2 diesel have make up for the poor power. I realise these cars are built to last and the lack of a turbo helps with longevity.

was also looking at the 2.5l turbo diesel Navara. (lots of you guys must drive these)
have read the threads of D22 vs D40 and the X mining vehicles threads etc. can get something like a 2008 with pretty low kms in my price range as well and these have 125KW power. quite a bit up from the LC

So anyone have experience towing with a 4.2l diesel non turbo LC or a 2.5l ST x ???

cheers

front page of todays paper, saying that WA's $200 mil crayfishing industry could be shutdown, due to a higher rate of whales getting tangled in the ropes/floats. Far ken useless carnt Tony Burke, even though he is no longer the environment minister, still sticking his dirty little corrupted nose into marine sector, basically informing fisheries minister Captain Troy Buswell, that if the (whale) problem isn't fixed by 2015, he'll remove the right to export crays, just like he did with the cattle exports, crippling another great Australian iconic industry.

fuck all your safety shit destroying Australian industries ladies and gentlemen, another Labor term in leadership will be the final blow for this country.

anyone heard of secession? lets put up the fence...
