Pretty cool video, get a little insight to how squid attack from under the water.

Hi fellow fishermen,

I started a group on facebook about a year ago and has been rapidly expanding over just the last few weeks. All thanks too Fishwrecked and Squidnet for there support.
The group is Squid Hunters Perth and its for ppl who like too catch squid using LAND BASED EGI techniques. We have discussions about what is the best tackle too use, best locations too check out around perth and the rest of the west coast. If ur interested come check us out https://www.facebook.com/groups/SquidHuntersPerth/ , the Calamari Classic is coming up this weekend and a few of our members are participating including myself. Me and my other admin have been thinking of holding our own little comps at our squidding sessions, meet & greets for members. And we also have  future plans for stickers and maybe even tshirts for the club/group.

Link too our group is once again https://www.facebook.com/groups/SquidHuntersPerth/

Hope too see ya there

- Daniel Langridge Admin

And also once again thank you Fishwrecked for all ur support.

Hi Guys,
I am looking at mounting a Lowrance gps/depth sounder flush mount to the dash. Has anyone had problems with them getting stolen? or is it best to take the safe option and mount them on the bracket?
Secondly any opinions on a tournament 2000 blue water?

Cheers

 Hi last year I went up to Coral Bay in October for a week, we went fishing every day and just couldn't find a good spot to fish, we trolled bottom bashed around 70m and 30m we went close to shore to try catch some spanglies, but all we got was a few cod and one sprangreled emperor?? We're going again this year so if someone could tell me a spot or were to go, or Mayabe we where using the wrong bait or something?? Thanks

Had a great weekend with my daughter (13) before they go back to school.

We started off by going north of two rocks yesterday afternoon in that glorious Perth winter weather, for a tailor sess, and picked a couple of nice eating size fish (around 50 cm).

A nice family were near us on the beach and to see there young kids wooping and playing on the beach whilst mum and dad wet a line was good to see. I picked up a slightly bigger tailor one on dusk so I offered it to them, which him and his lovely wife accepted with much thanks.  All in all a great day.

But... tonight same daughter and me went to the ammo jetty to replace the scalies we used yesterday only to be greeted by a charming family allowing there young kids to stomp and squash blowie after blowie, it was sickening, and my sensitive animal loving daughter looked pale and shocked.  wtf is wrong with some people, we left, shaking my head at the dad whom just glared at me.

I love going to get some scalies at that jetty, but have seen the worst behaviours that reflect on the whole fishing community.

after my last post about pfd,s I started thinking about the first time I did the huet course . me being me thought because I had years of diving experience that the huet course would be just a junket away from work, how wrong I was I should have twigged when I noticed all the other blokes on the course had large dive bags with them and I just had a small bag with my bordies and a towel in it , they were all doing their huet for the umpteenth time and I was doing it for the first time, I learnt quickly I had made a blunder it was a bloody cold day and as we geared up for the course they all got there wettys on and swim goggles and nose pegs I spent the rest of the day freezing and choking (water up the snozzel) but I got through it while all those blokes had a good laugh at me I can look back now and laugh myself

after having a couple of close shaves since moving to the metro from up north ( the ocean down here is heaps trickyer than up north) I have decided to invest in a couple of pfds, when I was in the marine wksp up north I used to have to chopper it out to the light houses of shore I was issued with a military style pfd that had mini flares , a tiny little personal distress beacon, whistle , survival rations and a light that flashed if you went in it weighed bugger all and you could wear it all day apparently they were worth 3k I don't want to spent that sort of dough but was wondering what type the ssar boys use and where can you get them

 Hey guys and girls.. My brother and I are keen as to take the kayak out for a run.. We do heaps of saltwater fishing but both haven't done much freshwater stuff.. Is it worth fishing this time of year at dwellingup or anywhere else for that matter??

Any advice would be muchly appreciated..

Cheers Belly

Hi Everyone,

So I went to Woodies again today to throw around some SPs - I tried the 3" Nuclear Chicken Swimming Mullet. Every cast the SP was getting smashed by something and bitten in half. (I think blowies) But on inspection of the SP there are some pretty damn big teeth marks in them. Can anyone tell me whether this is definitely blowies? Or have I just been unlucky to not hook anything? Every bite that was taken was just below the hook.  Photos below 

 Few months ago purchased a brand new 12ft sensor surf rod, since getting it I've used it once off the beach for tailor and twice off the beach up at quobba... Two weeks ago took it to ledge, rigged up and as casting it all the rod from below the reel seat splintered and cracked took it back and have just got the call ffor the shop saying that daiwa won't cover it as a warranty job. Well that sucks.... Rod has never been knocked and when I have been transporting it its always in my SW lab bag. Was told by the rep tho that he will sell me a bottom section.

knew I should have stuck with shimano gear, grr

 G'Day All

I'm heading down to Yeagerup early August with a few mates for a bit of 4x4ing / camping / fishing / fishing / fishing and refreshments. We are all avid 4x4ers and won't have any trouble with that or the refreshments side of things but what about the fishing? I'm thinking a couple of big roads and tackle for the ever hopefull mulla or shark etc and a couple of lighter gear for herring and whiting. 

Am I going to go to a lot of effort only to get there at the wrong time of the year????

cheers

happy about that took 4 of us total of about 3 and a hlf hours..

perth boat school was used very good service from them...

 I have a Stella 20000 that has striped 2 gears a twin power that seizes up every time you put load on it a Stradic that the screws work loose on every time I use it and now my 6 month old sustain 5000 is  fu$&ed snapped locators and screw on the body had a gut full of this crap

Gday All,

Weather looked ok so up we went to Two Rocks for round 2 on friday, not a massive day out fish wise, but my mate (6' 3) managed a very nice Sambo (Released) that went 116cm and that we thought was 20kg as usual the white night 80 buk combo did it again as the Stell and Sustain Combos looked on. Couple of small Dhuies (60cm), the usual monster token Nth West Blowy i thought was a Dhuie, a couple of small sambos and Sgt baker on a jig and a Black Ass. Still managed a decent feed with the Dhuie and BA.

The bait worked best all day, only thing caught on the jigs was the Sgt Baker.

Stillllllllll chasing my big dhuie.

Cheers All Dan

Hi I'm going up to coral bay and exmouth in August will the weather be good for boat fishing, and what species should I target in exmouth on a 5 m boat? Cheers

 A couple of things.

1. While out crabbing, an old guy asks to set his pots inside mine. No problem. I finish pulling half my pots and proceed to the next pot. This guy has set right on top of mine. I tell him it's a bit rich setting right on top of mine and he starts arguing telling me that I can set somewhere else cos the ocean is a big place. I told him to f^€ k off and that he was an idiot.

2. Today coming into Bunbury, crabbers have set pots covering entire entrance to the harbour. Does anyone police the harbours? Can I claim damages if their gear wrecks anything? 

me and a couple of mates went down to tim's thicket today for a flick and to test the new landy. fished for a few hours and got a decent herring and heaps of whiting. not huge whiting but they were like blowies, as soon as the prawn hit the water the bait was gone or you were pulling in double headers of the little guys.

 Heys guy,

I'm fairly new to fishing and just wondering can a good quality rod and reel make a difference in catch rates, or is it just for the ease and feel of a smoother rig??

Thanks guys!!

 gday all...unfortunate happened to me on friday arvo...put my rod down in the corner of a mates boat against the transom door ..door opens from the rolling off the boat and yup rod drops down the gap on the hinged side of the door and sure enough boat rolls the other way and crushed the effin rod :/.....this rod was I giant king jig rod I purchased from oceanside tackle a few months back and worth about 200 ish roughly wich is a bit of money in my regards.

What I want to no are my options...seeing as the rod didnt break its self its not a waranty job or anything so to save my self some coin is it worth stripping the rod for parts and buying a new blank and using the parts on that or would i be better off saving my small xhange for the next few months and just buying another rod ??

All opinions apreciated

 hi any body done the fishing charter with scoupon? i did one the other day and wondered if anyone had the same experience as me! 

 Gday Fella`s,

I`m sure its been done here before but i thought i`d re-ignite the issue. I know there are some creative bush mechanics amongst us.... As most of us go Glamping nowadays with everything that opens n shuts i`m looking for some new ideas and anyway its a good opener for guys to have a spruke about their creativness on here...

I`m not sure its so creative but the 12v LED light strips ( 5 m x 300 leds for $18 on ebay ) is something that has made nighttime like daylight at my camp now - Gone are the days of replacing the mantels in a poxy gas lantern in my camp!!!

Attached is a pic of camp cable tie @ night - 10m of LED action visible from space........ 

what a joke test cricket is now I made a couple of hundreds in mums back yard against my sisters vicious in swingers I am only 53 I must be due for a call up soon for australia or maybe they need to call up my sister for her bowling she would do a better job than the blokes we have now, Bloody hell give the game back to the umpires if they make a howler of a mistake so be it they will be dropped for a few tests the game is called cricket not camera cricket

Heaps of these fish up at Denham on our recent trip, just wondering if anyone can shed light onto what they are?

So I have been fishing 3 out of the last 4 days on what can be considered the right time of day and tides with not much result.  Infact, I have caught a handful of herring, 4 small skippy, some very small pinkies (smaller than my hand) and one very good sized horsehoe leatherjacket. But where are all the good fish?! Are they days of Woodies producing over? Has anyone had any luck there lately?

 Hi all , hitting the beach tomorrow night for tailor.I picked up some sanmar to rig up on

7/0 gangs as bait. Anyone used them much before? Do they stay on better than mulies?

They are definately bigger, so hopefully bigger bait, bigger tailor.

Any feedback welcome. Cheers.
