anyone got any news on salmon and other fish at these ereas and how there going down there heading out this weekend thanks

I wanted to do a bit more livebaiting, because i heard it was a pretty effective way of catching a big one ;)

probs be using herring on a 50lb - 100lb fluro carbon leader, if that correct???

what sized hook do i use??? and what type ie circle hook, suicide, beaked????

i was gonna try doing it in mindari marina at the mouth of the marina, apparently you can hook upto sambos, sharks and ray... all for a bit of fun :D

cheers!

whos used one and what are they like, what reel did you use with it?

 hi guys.

can someone tell me where I can buy some good occy from around the bunbury area for bait and eating

 a few weeks ago i got my younger brother intrested in fishing :D so we went down to the local and got him a shakespear rod looked like it was decent quality. its been around 3 weeks since he got the rod and today while reeling in a blowie the runner at the end and about 4cm of the rod just snapped? has anyone ever had this problem with a shakespear or did i direct my brother in the wrong direction?

Was wanting to get some opinions on the old style monster mesh rods as I have to opportunity to get one second hand.  I have the opportunity to pick up a Monster Mesh 8'3" PE6-8 rod.  I want it to chuck some poppers and stickbaits around for kings, etc.  I would match it to a Stella 10,000.

a) do you think it is a good match for the reel

b) I know the rods are good for poppers but are they soft enough to work stickbaits as well.

If you have owned one or played around with one please let me know your thoughts. 

Thanks

Hey everyone just wandering whats been going on in perth fish wise ( or if wanna post what ya been doing thats fine too) i've been following some threads but i'm mostly bored at work lol and cannot wait to get back and do some fishing. After 2 weeks of nothing but red dirt and work i'm looking forward to seeing the ocean lol

hey Iv been on the look for a new reel and have my heart set on the Daiwa Catalina 4000. 

But as its only been recently released in Australia, I havent heard much about them.

So just wondering if anyone has one or can give me an honest opinion of what they think?

Also is there must of a difference in size of a 5000 compared to a 4000?

I went down to tackle world world today to have a play but they oonly had the 4000 model. 

Just to add, its going to be matched with a samuria 206 running PE4.

Any info would be appreciated 

Thanks

Hi guys,

Does anyone know when they will be bringing in the Perth FADS? If no one has an exact date around when do they usually bring them in? 

Also if anyone has an update on which fads no longer exist. I heard the PGFC is long gone

hey lads just after a bit of info on what rod i should get for my saltiga game 3500 reel?

necer had a reel before of this quality so dont knoiw what is the best for it.

mainly gonna be using it off the beach flicking lures and softies round, chasing salmon down south and anything off the beaches up north.

was looking at the shimano catana 9ft shore rod, but think that it might be a bit "cheap" for this quality of reel.

any info would be very helpful.

cheers

hey guys,

just wondering what your thoughts are on both tiller or forward controls say for a simple 15 foot tinny,? which is better and why?

would love to hear some feedback,

I moved house over the last 2 days. So today I had to drive to the tip in balcatta to drop of some rubbish.

When I arrived there I spotted a forklift load of fish!!!!!!!!!! There must have been 6 or 7 boxes of "fish on ice" on a forklift on the way in the dump. I think it was red emperor/ coral trout. I couldnt get close enough in time to get a pic or see exactly what it was. I just saw a heap of red fish in about snapper size going over the side!!!!

I can not believe how ppl can waste that amount of fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They empty the oceans and then throw it in the dumpster And because of behavior like this from commercial fisheries we as rec.fisher have to suffer!

What a society!!!!!!!!

 Hi guys has anyone got a kalbarri report any info would be much appreciated mostly trolling cheers

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to take my kayak out to have a bit of fun on wednesday? I've finally got my fishfinder installed and will be ready to go, no GPS yet though.

I've heard peppy beach about 1-2km off is going alright, but not sure where I'd launch from there. Got a 4x4 hilux, so beach launching is not a problem, but I'm trying not to go too far from home in Bunno (got a 7 week old baby at home, and only got a few hours leave pass).

Any Salmon being caught I could try trolling for?

Cheers!

Well spent Saturdau]y fishing at Pardoo with no luck so headed back to Finucane Sunday morning to fish off the rocks managed to catch a 6-7foot black tip reef shark well I

think it was as it had a black tip right on top of the fin. It did a massive run  of about 200metres and then seemed pretty easy to reel in except for the odd head shake and small run.

Anyone know if these are any good eating?

I cut the line when I got him to the rocks as I didnt bring my knife with me and didnt know size requirements etc

People... I think I have hit rock bottom. I have no motivation to go fishing or anything for that matter and I don't like it. I could be out today fishing, but instead im being slack and am still under the covers. What is wrong with me? How does one get out of this hole?

Hey Guys

i went fishing yesterday down at the rock-wall in hillarys boat harbour, used some bread to burley up and up came some massive buffalo bream. which the biggest had to be around 5kgs, so i squished the loaf into little balls training them to take hook sized baits not crumbs, which worked

i had a 12lb fluro carbon leader with 15lb braid, as soon as the bread sank to where they was line started peeling off the reel, for about a min, then he busted me off...

they were all wary to take bait after that moment and all the big buffys swam away :/

i was wondering would 12lb be enough of a leader, and would a mono main-line be better than braid???

cheers

 Hi guys was fishing at city beach groyne  Monday night 16th and left my small black and grey squidjies rig/tackle bag on the rocks it's only small and not a biggie but had about 200 bux worth of shark gear traces sinkers swivels etc so means more to me than it would to the person who has it , if any info please pm me cheers ash

 Heard a few whispers that the salmon are going off at west end. can anyone confirm this?

will be armed with waxwings, crystal minnows 130mm, and x-rap's, and Heading over tomorrow morning.

 Hi all,

Just after any ideas people have on spooling reels, i have both braid and mono in bulk reels and say i want to put 500m braid on a reel and 200m top shot of mono is there any relatively accurate way of measuring it out or is it just a guessing game?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Winning fish from todays comp (none are mine lol )

The baldie, KG and Blackarse were good fish. cheers Pete.

 Hey ive got a terez 7'2 15-30lb matched to a stradic 5000 fj and wanted to start getting into some plastics/jigs for demersals but do you think this rod would be able to handle some of the lighter style pirate jigs or would it be a bit long for this type of fishing?

Cheers

Just been out to my boat  to plot a mark for tomorrow on the gps

Found some prick has been into my unit , and changed the co'ordinates from deg-min-sec, how i have em ,     to deg-min.

Undoubtedly got all my marks now .

That'll learn me for leaving it loaded up.
