Deep Drop/Trolling Deckie available
Submitted by Knot Big Enuff on Wed, 2013-03-06 08:59Hi All,
Keen to get out this weekend for deep stuff or trolling for... anything really! Water temp is very promising at the moment.
Got all my gear for any sort of fishing, and do all the usual, skipper, clean, fillet ... etc. Prefer NoR, but also don't mind SoR.
Let me know if you got a spot available.

Light Baitcaster custom build
Submitted by Bunny on Wed, 2013-03-06 08:53I'm pretty happy with this one. I tried an underbind below the pattern and it came up pretty good for a first attempt. Fuji Alconites with some Mudhole bling. I particularly like the grips and Texalium split grip.

Decent Overhead Combo?
Submitted by Pezdog on Tue, 2013-03-05 19:02Hey guys
Looking at getting a trolling/bottom bouncing combo. Something decent at both as I don't go out often enough to get one for each.
I like the look of the Tyrnos and the price seems reasonable. Combo around $400 is where I would put my budget at.
Not sure in which size too, I guess the smaller the better because of the weight but wouldn't have a clue.
Would be used metro to try for macks, tuna, Dhus etc
If not the Tyrnos any other recommendations would be great.
Cheers

My first ever mackie!!!
Submitted by Chris fish on Mon, 2013-03-04 22:20Got my first Mack this weekend up near leeman on spear. Never been so excited to pull a trigger on a fish or just to see one cruising by as I was sitting 10m down looking around. Didn't fight that hard as I got a good head shot on it and had it to the surface and in my hands in a few minutes.

Exmouth and full moon
Submitted by Tandawg on Mon, 2013-03-04 14:24Hi all,
I am planning a trip to Exmouth during the 2 weeks of April school holidays. As I have only 1 week to spare, I can go on week 1 or 2. The full moon coincides with the latter half of the first week and I would like some feedback from fishos as to your exploits around the full moon. Will be doing the normal Exmouth stuff of trolling for pelagics, bottom fishing in the 100's and evening fishing in the shallows.
Any feedback would be awesome.
Thanks in advance
Chris
Filleting at sea
Submitted by chris raff on Mon, 2013-03-04 14:03I'm thinking less work , mess and time when we get home . So I suppose the go would be to put the fish on ice to firm it up for a while , min 30cm length fillet with skin and scales intact . Then give it a wash in the sea water and put into a largish ziplock bag and expel all air ... Put it on top of ice bag ready to go straight into fridge / freezer when you get home.. Any of you blokes fillet on the boat ? ... The regulations seem clear enough , but could I get confirmation that I'm reading it right and that it includes filleting dhu and snapper etc ... Cheers in advance

dunsborough help
Submitted by choc on Mon, 2013-03-04 09:40Hi guys
I live in Busso and feel like a bit of a fishing location change.
Thinking of launching at Quindalup but have no idea where to go.Only launched there a couple of times but stayed in close just for squid and whiting.
Just wondering on a general direction to head and would I start looking in similar depths as Busso for Dhuies and kgs?
Have had a quick search and the 30m mark sounds like the go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Choc.

whats the best age to get kids into fishing??
Submitted by THERESONLYONEBIGRED on Sun, 2013-03-03 22:24hey guys,
fairly new to the site and just had a few quieries about when we should get our kids into fishing.
im fresh into parenthood and was absolutely stoked when we found out we had a little boy on the way.
we went away for a long weekend fishing/surfing trip and decided to take the little fella who at the time was 6months old. gave him a rod and reel and first hook up a a meesly trumpeter but the little man found it hillarious..
3 months down the track he cant keep his hands off my fishing gear. decided to spool my salina 2 16000 while mums at home and im at work just for shits and giggles, but evry time i move them and hide my gear he finds it all and just cant keep his hands off.
cut a long story short is 6 months to early?
he is absoluetly mesmorised by fishing rods and reels and will drop his toys anyday to get hold of the gear i leave lying around.

Fishing tips please
Submitted by joycey on Sun, 2013-03-03 22:16Heh guys,
Need some tips of possible.
Had a boat for over 6 months and fished the 30-40m mark out from Cockburn Sound several times, but as yet not managed to catch anything of note !
Fishing paternoster with occie and also tried jigging, but no joy.
Sounded around but not found much to get excited about
Struggling a bit so would value any advice
Also when I jigged the line was at an angle due to the affect of the drift, making it difficult, is there anyway to avoid this problem.
Cheers!

first mulloway
Submitted by alexangler on Sun, 2013-03-03 18:56hey guys
well after nearly 3 years of trying I finally landed my first mulla even though for once i was wasnt targeting one
It was caught in the middle of the day on a small piece of squid and measured 62 cms
was caught on a size 2 hook meant for whiting and skippy so the hook bent a fair bit but lucky we could pull it in, in time
the fish swam off strongly which was good to see
hopefully the next one isnt such a long wait
cheers alex

Fishing WA
Submitted by Cruise Control on Sun, 2013-03-03 16:59Think I am going to have to give up watching Fishing WA live.
The last few episodes I have noticed the high incidence of general ads and ads for the sale of extreme gear on the show itself. Today was no different. I think that it was pretty evenly split by my reckoning, about 50/50 fishing and ads on a show that runs for 29 minutes.
Understand everyone has to make a living but I dont think I will be putting myself out to watch another episode as it runs on TV. Record it, watch the little amount of fishing which is interesting enough and flick the rest.
