Anyone know if Bundegi boat ramp will be open tomorrow? Road to it was closed today. 

Cheers

 I purched a Baitboard a few months ago at Allboats. Its a stainless frame with two rodholders and a slide out tray underneath. When I purchased it, the guys at allboats said it was made locally. (I will try and post a photo soon)

Problem is that I lost the tray a few weeks ago on the way to the ramp.

I have been back to Allboats, and they have no idea who they got them from, or how I would source a new replacement.(???) They pretty much said Im S.O.L. and that the last one was sold a few days ago.

Im hoping someone may know who built them, or knows where the trays came from. Its a shame to have to replace it just because I cant get another tray!

Any input appreciated.

Regards

took delivery of my new boat today when I got home and started going through all the manual's and other stuff I found the new sounder/gps didn't come with a hard copy manual just a c/d I don't know about any one else but I don't think I want to take my laptop out on the water with me so I can lean to drive the bloody thing it is ok on the front lawn but the real learning is on the water should have stuck with lowerance they at least supply a shiny water proof hard copy of the users manual

Went out with the son this arvo for a quick Squid session, took about 45mins to get the First one and then ended the day with a sweet 16....

 G'day guys, went for a squid this arvo with the old balls had a great session. Once I got home and sorted the squid out I was cleaning the esky and noticed the bung was a bit blocked so I reaches in to see what was blocking it up. A half chewed friggin blue ring octopus WTF?? Is it normal for squid to eat occys? Specially blue ones?

Just planning to catch my first mulla, but just want to know if they are tasty or not because there is no point chasing them.
And how would I kill it
thanks FISH-ON

 Did an allnighter at busso jetty a week ago and for the life of me I could not keep warm ! Was wearing footy socks another pair of socks 2 pairs of trackies several shirts jumpers and jackets but I could not stay warm ! What are people methods for staying warm while fishing ?

 Looking for a bottom bouncing rod to match a talica 12 with pe 6 boat braid fishing 16 or even more oz lead in 80m. I usually fish talica 8 pe 4, but want heavier set up for poor conditions needing more lead or stopping monsters quicker.

i was thinking pe 5-6 daiwa demon blood, but also picked up the monster mesh max mxc531-300 which is a 5ft 3inch 300g max rod. I think I preferred the monster mesh and it was over $100 cheaper. I liked the shorter length, keen on five to five and a half foot.

Any feedback on the rod or any other idea or suggestions or even rods you want to offload?

cheers

FW crew,

G'day all,

Wanted to share a bad experience I had with a popular leader line I purchased.

short story is bought line tied knot and noticed small knicks in line . I pulled one of the knick and the line shredded.

I Emailed manufacturer and they requested the line back which cost me 12 bucks, I received 2 replacements and two lollies!!! (WTF????)

I though I would let them know I was a bit anoyed and I would have liked the 12 buck back not two lollies. They did not even supply and reply or explanation about the line, so I emailed and got to the head man. They basically shrugged me off!!!

Check out the pictures I hadnt even finished the knot when I noticed the problem!!!

went our for a fish, nothing exciting, nice bag of skips and red wrasse for my crewie,too many n/w fugus,some didn't make it back unfortunatly,it was a real hoot surfing all the way back in,there are some BIG swells out there atm

Last week had the funniest moment, were trolling out the back of X in 35m to 40 m at about 10knts.

2 Rods out with Rapalas 20, one goes off, were calling it for a Mackie. then, then a Sambo when up comes a  ????

Norwest Blowie, could not believe it.

What is the wierdest Fish You have caught whilst trolling;

Hey guys, heading out for a tailor fish early on Saturday morning, going to be using mulies for bait with one sitting on the bottom while baitcasting on another rod, just wondering what would be the best locations to look at trying? Going to be completely landbased. Was looking at heading up to Trigg but am not too familiar with the reef there and if I'm rocking up before first light, so don't want to take any unnecessary risks. What groins would be worth a try? Was looking at the Dutch Inn groin just south of Cottesloe as well

 G'day everyone,

Ive recently been doing a bit of research on interpeting my lowrance HDS sounder and I've read conflicting information in regards to the difference between using 50kHz and 200kHz. Would I be correct in saying you would use 200kHz in shallower water say up to 100m? Also the angle of the echo sound cone at 200kHz is less than 50kHz?

From what I can gather it appears we should use 200kHz most of the time (unless you're going to fish serious deep water off Exmouth for example).

Would be greatly appreciated if anyone can share their knowledge on this subject.

Cheers

Ben

Hey guys,

I was thinking of heading up yanchep ways later on this week was just wondering if anyone knows if there is any seaweed cloging up the shores ???

Hey guys,

 Hey guys im headin up to carrarang station shark bay, for 4 days over the longer weekend. Its our first time up there and im looking for some hot tips from anyone whos been before! We are taking a 485 centre console 90hp, a couple of kayaks, an array of rods of all shapes and sizes and some crabbing gear. What we dont have is snapper tags, so im looking especially for help with mulloway and pelagics or any other cool stories or experiences from this area! Cheers

 I wanted to know what the barcrusher boats are like, in particular the 615 cuddy can style...

if there are any owners with opinions please share!!

Got my first Pinky today, was a totally unexpected catch, was thinky maybe a Kingy today. Also a nice Gummy and my first Sampson, the Sambo went back. Had a few strong runs but in quite shallow water and was busted of> still it was nice to open my snapper account.
I usually have my two girls tag along Ages 7 & 12 which really restrict our fishing. So the last few weeks the decky(my Wife) and I have chosen to get out on a nice weekday if work isn't to busy and the day looks promising. Have to drop the kids at school and back before they get out but still better than working.

 Hey guys, has anyone had any luck fishing off Hillary's in a boat? Reasonably in shore not to far out ???

cheers

has anyone been out on the dirt road near jindalee for fishing

Anyone have a contact or info on fishing Thailand , Kho Samui in December.

Looking for Game charter type but would much prefer a less crowded boat .

Any info would be appreciated

Gday All,

Looks like we might be heading up to a mates holiday house in Jurien over the long wk end, will be taking the tub up there - it will be my first time up there but just reading some threads looks like there is plenty of good ground around Jurien, its just a matter of having a look around on the sounder.

What do you think will work more effective - baits or Jigs?

Thanks again any help is appreciated.

Cheers Dan

Hi guys

Looking to go landbased fishing on the swan river this week. Can anyone recommed some good spots- would be greatly appreciated :)

 The Berkley product grab on you tube shows him tieing straight to the lure but I just bought some 6lb and it looks to white not to have a leader.

Hey Guys, looking for the perfect outfit to cast Bull Chops & other 40g, stick baits into schools of tuna & the like.

What do you use and recommend.

 Hey, heading to Mandurah on sat crabbing anyone got any tips on some fishing places, best bait etc they could help us with?? 

Looking at heading into the Cockburn sound for some squid over the week but never been crabbing this time of year. Is it worth it? I assume they would be in deeper water if they are there? Any particualr time seeing it's cooler. Do you come out during the day rather than dusk for food?

Any info would be appreciated

Cheers

Hey guys,

I'm heading down to Dunsborough for this weekend coming and so far the weather forecasts (wind and sun) are looking pretty good so I'm planning on taking my dinghy down with me. Wont have heaps of time to go fishing, probably only a couple of two/three hour sessions. Was mainly going to target squid and whiting. I know the whiting are always there and I've got thousands in the bay down there before, but have never really targeted squid in Duns before. I am planning on having a few different squid jigs on board and drifting them through the moorings near the Quindalup finger jetty and hopefully getting a few for a feed. Any info on whether they are in numbers down there at the moment would be much appreciated, cheers!!

Hi, I hope someone might help I'm looking for a part for my Penn 1500 Power Graphite Reel the part is the crosswind gear, I know it is discontinued but I'm hoping someone might have a damage reel that they might want to sell for parts.
