Hey all! I'm after some feedback. This is my 4.5m tinnie I have a 40 on the back. I'm keen to get to Coventry reef in it and do some bottom bouncing. How would it go out there? What's the max wind? Swell? Seas? Etc.. Please help any advice/feedback is muchly appreciated! :)

Hi folks,

Planning to make a LB run up to Leeman area tomorrow afternoon for a quick overnight session.

Just wondering if anyone has been through the area Greenhead/Leeman or even Jurien in the last day or two? Have things been stirred up much up that way with the wild weather?

Cheers,

Buschy

I fished professionally for Dhuies between Cervantes and Leeman (Jurien) for 15 years up until 5 years ago.  I have sold my commercial licence in that area as we are concentrating on charter fishing and whale watching in the South West.

I have over 800 tried and tested fishing spots in that area that I am keen to sell.  Not sure whether to sell the whole lot exclusively to one person, split into groups or sell the lot to a limited number of people.
Interested in what you all think generally and open to offers (PM me).

I would also include a couple of hours tuition on the area if needed.

Cheers

Dean 

 Have they opened the gates yet ?

 At what point should you start to shit ???

 Guys just something very quick and basic. What thickness rope do you gus recommend for using an 80oz release weight for fish up to say 30-40kg?! I was thinking 5mm would suffice that way it won't take up too much room in the boat. And just tie it off with uni knot or something onto the weight?!

cheers in advance!

Hey All,

I was looking on the net and came across a website for an Indonesian Company

selling outboards, the prices are in US dollars and are ridiculously low. The website

is www.outboardengine.co.id 

I understand that you would not have a warranty if purchased for a local boat, however

for the prices that they are selling them for you could pretty much buy a new engine every 3-4 years.

The warranties being offered within indonesia seem to be equivelant to local warranties.

Are we getting ripped off or what????

Has anyone purchased one and fitted it up locally?

Food for thought.

Myself and my mate are looking at buying a cheap dinghy togethor as our first boat is 15hp enough? We would on be fishing in sheltered waters really to start off with. We are looking at spending around 5k is this enough? Any ideas of any other options? 

 Greetings just joined up to this amazeing site have just recently moved back to Perth after living in not so sunny Melbourne for the last 5 years hopeing to get back in to some good fishing since being in doomy Melbourne has restricted my fishing species for awhile look forward to contributing a few fish pics in the future I recently moved in to Canning Vale so not far for me to launch the boat may need a deckie every now and then have a 670 Bar crusher and do all sorts of fishing from squidding to dropping out in the deep

Was interested to know if anybody on the this forum had fished the Swains reef and surrounding area out of Gladstone, QLD.

I have a week's fishing on the MV Iron Joy.

Interested to hear personal opinions about your experiences fishing the area ? Essential items to take ? Tackle ?

Or, better still, if you have been on the same charter boat !!

Cheers

Yes it was a bit rough out there. Sideways rain is always fun, had to swim across the carpark.

Caught this on a recent trip to Monkey Mia.  North West of the resort in about 8 metres of water.  On 6kg gear it was pretty good fun.  I called it as some time of trevally but not sure what type.  quick photo and released.  referred to a camping neighbour's fish idenification book and guessed it to be a diamond trevally.

Thoughts and opinions?  No good to eat so wasn't upset about putting it back.

 hey guys got a wedding in bali in june so i wanna get some tackle whilst im there. been to a big tackle store there once before but from memory no fanky jigs.

Which store sells the fankys and do you know the name of it or where it is??

thanks

Hey guys,

Taking a 6.4metre boat up to exmouth on May 18th.

I know how to fish the west side of the cape, eg tantabiddi, was looking at fishing more on the east side this trip and in the gulf.

Never attempted this before so I'm looking for any tips!

Cheers guys

 Has anybody heard any reports from Waroora?There are 8 big boat trailers at the Coral Bay boat ramp that I assume are for boats at Waroora and it blew its guts out here last night.I reckon they were pretty brave leaving them in the water Knowing what was coming. I hope they all ended up OK

 Fishing off coral bay yesterday and I caught a 20-25kg sambo.It may have been an amberjack as I am not sure of the difference.

I was wondering if anyone else has caught them up this far.I have never heard of one before.

 Few photos from last night's presentation night in the PGFC, at RPYC

Presentation was for World Champ Angler at the last OWC - Whitey, first Oz Angler to win this ... great effort between him and Ivan  

Also was presenting the Australian and West Australian Record for Small Fry, catching the 3Kg Mahi on 3Kg line ... great reward for Zeyad (9yo), after spending hours and hours with us trolling around ... well done Son 

Great appreciation for the PGFC Committee for making this happen, and outstanding efforts from these guys, making the Club the way it is today ... 

 Just want to know if anyone on here knows of any good shark fishing grounds out from Perth or if anyone fishes for sharks regularly, iv done some land based shark fishing but now have a boat. I would most likely be launching from woodman point. 

Thanks

From my understanding... the daily bag limits now apply from midnight to midnight...

This in essence means we cant go out fishing Saturday and catch a bag limit, and then do the same on the following day.. (Sunday)

This also means you cant do an overnighter and come home with 2 days bag limit!!!

Does anyone actually truely knows if this is actually the case??

Two weeks later, I get that phone call that all Deckies want to get, Paul G asking if I would like to go to back to the Abrolhos on Anzac Day.

"Let me think about that, hmmmmm YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!, as long as we leave after the Dawn Service, who needs to watch the Pies & the Bombers.

Ohh and by the way, on this trip we are going to be joined by a "New & Mysterious Deckie" never fished before were Pauls final words before he hung up,

Hmmm Who Could It Be

So this trip saw us getting into Geraldton at 4pm to be joined by Kane & his new Trophy along with Dan on his Rigid Inflatable, State of the Art.

After getting the boats ready, we headed  out and through the heads into a howling SW, & 3m - 4m Swell.

After almost 3 hours and a very tough trip across saw us getting into the Abrolhos just after dark, making the passage through the reefs very tight and scarey.

Jesse with his trusty torch showing us the way.

We woke to a beautiful day and headed out for our first fish

New Deckie with the First Fish of the Day - Is there a Fish There???

Ahhh the Old Fart still Has It

Thank Goodness for Warm Weather

Hope It Get Hotter

Cool Off Abeldog, Let's Go for a Snorkel. Yes Yes

Back To The Fishing

We ended the day with a night fish, Funniest Hour, Bust Off after Bust Off, Big Bruiser Fish of all species

Day Two had The New Deckie First On The Board Again,

Hope the Weather Warms Up

Who Said No Reds, Nice One To Release, And So We Did

My PB Sambo, Forgot about the Tape Measure

Love That Warm Weather

Must Be Time For Another Snorkel

And so the Day Ended with Paul & Jesse Going for a Dive in Search of that Missing Go Pro only to be harrased by the biggest bronzies.

Once the boys were on the boat I dropped a whole squid, it was smashed half way down.

Now when you have 50lb Varivas vrs an Anchor Rope, who do you think will loose, Yep The Anchor Rope.

As the shark flew past the anchor, the Talica 12 fully locked, my thumb on the spool and reel is still  spilling line, the Varivas cut through the rope as if it was butter.

The Next morning had Paul & Jesse dive to get the anchor back and then we headed home.

Another Great Trip, New Friends & Great Company and that Magical Paradise known as The Abrolhos.

Me and a mate went down to Henderson groin tonight next to the old image yard.Got fukn soaked and one port Jackson.
