 Hey all arrived at port Kennedy boat ramp around 630 this morning. After half an hour of moving the weed from the ramp I finally got the boat in at 700. Off I went to my little gps mark I have for some broken ground.  I anchored up and started the burley trail.  Had a fresh yellowtail out as a drift bait, my Tyrnos on the bottom with a whole squid on one hook and scalie on the other.  And then use my whiting rod.  First fish in the boat was a pike around 8 o'clock.  The fillets came off him for some fresh bait. I couldn't believe what I pulled in next... A juvenile baldchin! Very surprising! Then I battled the wrasse for an hour and decided that it was time to go... Wound up Tyrnos, nothing had touch the baits, then wound my drift bait up to find a big dirty grey ray on it haha figured I'd have one more cast and boom landed this little puppy.... Unsure of what it is? Thinking juvenile samson fish? (See pic) it wasn't a comfortable ride back to the ramp with this short sharp chop... Wind was 6 knots SE and swell was 1.8mtr so why was the chop so bad???

hope you all like my first report..

HI Guys, whilst fishing out of Augusta on the weekend I managed to catch a Northwest Blowie after losing three rigs fishing for whiting! Has anybody else been catching these down this far south? If so i hope that it's not going to be a common occurance?

cheers

G'day All

Just after some tips, baits and tricks for the Murchison River, Kalbarri.

Heading up there for the long weekend and was hoping to have a fish off the bank and maybe the kyak, Not sure what species are around this time of year although have heard the river has possibilities of Jack, Bream, small Mulloway and even Mud crabs?

I guess ill take the drop nets as well! So would appreciate any guidence as ive never been past Jurien Bay.

Feel free to PM me

Cheers

Hi all, i was made redundant yesterday so I'm want to have a crack at something I've always wanted to do, catch a squid!

I'll be honest, I'm a shit fisher, went to BCF and they sold me some jigs and i know from diving south mole there are squid in the sea grass so if i stand on south mole and cast towards the grass tomorrow what are my chances? Any tips more than welcome.

Cheers

Does anyone know of any stores currently stocked with Squidgey Glow Wrigglers (140mm)???

http://www.squidgies.com.au/squidgyprowriggler.aspx

I have some on order from a local store, but not in yet and I am off on a fishing trip very soon and need to re-stock the tackle box.

 G'day folks 

has any 1 ever been out on charters from coral bay? I hear there's 2? is 1 better than the other ? And have you guys ever hit the big time on them?

 FYI all the rain has pushed the soot down the creek next to the ramp making the ramp very shallow. I reckon neither there won't be any water at the end of either jetty 2 hrs either side of low tide. 

Guys,

bought a secondhand kingmack spin a while ago and only now noticed the first guide is out of line and bent.

How do I find out what guide it is and do I just request a replacement through shimano?

Cheers!

 Hey guys, a mate got tickets for a charter out of freo on sunday, it was cancalled due to the swell. Im no expert but it didn't seem that bad. Im wondering are they over booking the boat, it was off scoupon, so i wonder if the fill the boat with people paying full price. i went for a fish at hilarys and it looked like you could take a tinnie to rotto! any thoughts?

I am thinking of going down to Preston Beach this weekend - never been before just after any information to what are the main species that you can catch down there. what baits to be taking with me

any idea how its been fishing lately ?

thanks in advance for any information.

Cheers

Paul

had a sesh at the sandbar yest on low tide trying for some queenies and GTs. Amazing that the only fish i caught was a tailor around the 70 mark and dropped several others. anyone who has fished the area with success pls any advice or tips would be great

Im wondering if anyone knows who could look at trailer repairs up in Carnarvon?
Travelling back to Perth on Friday last week had to brake hard for a roo and the winch post snapped sending the boat into the back seat of the car.....fun times!the trailer draw bar is bent and post will need replacing(if its not classed as a write off).
Good old Club marine want me to get it fixed up that way so they don't have to truck it back to perth or Gero but im having a hrad time finding someone. Any advice or details would be greatly appreciated!

 After a lot of anticipation about my week of R&R and getting wet I was finally on the plane home!!

first day I was off to windy harbour for a boat dive and to pick up my new dive gear and test it out. Wind was a problem but vis was good and we managed a good feed in the few hours we where out with a nice blue for my mate about 14kg and I got to shoot my new gun and got my first boarfish.

The next day I was back in Albany and went for a quick shore dive at a spot that has always served me well, 30mins in the water and we had our 2 blues with me getting a nice one at about 13kg and Toby a small one about 6kg

finaly Friday morning came around and 4 of us where up early to head off to a spot I had been looking at for months. A crazy 4x4 to get into the spot and almost 2 hour trip from town to a very isolated piece of coast that I was sure would hold some insane fish. We got to the spot suited up and jumped in and almost straight away a nice boarfish was sitting right in front of me. First fish on the float line and this was looking great!! Worked our way to the deeper water and spent the day working 12-18m and the plate coral reefs with just fish everywhere I looked!!! Grouper, queenies, bonito, sambos, salmon, big skippy, boarfish, harelquin and other reef fish just apearing everywhere in the great vis!!

At the end of the day our haul was 5 boarfish, 4 queenies, 3 harlequin, 2 fox fish, 1 skippy 2 bonito and a breaksea kept with us being so fussy on what we took.

anyway that's enough out of me and here is some photos of the weeks efforts. 

Go pro is on its way so soon ill have some underwater action shots.
