Can anybody tell me what the launch is like nowdays at Horrocks Beach?

I searched and could only find older posts.

From what I read there was a concrete ramp at one stage but it was ripped out? Anybody know if it has been replaced?

Hey guys how are you all.
I was wondering if anyone knows how deep it is around the north mole. Say about 10-20metres out from the rocks,
thanks Rick.

Hi Guys,

 Does any one know of a good fabricator that might want to build me a 9x4 walkup style camper trailer. I only need the trailer built as i can do the rest but most of the business's Ive contacted dont seem too interested. They all must have too much work!!. I dont mind spending the money for a quality build its just getting somebody to do itis the problem. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Good morning Guys,

new to this forum, new to boat fishing

my name is Andrew and i'm a fishaholic

i've just got myself a Barcrusher 560c and am on the hunt for a spanish mack.. i'm hearing that it may be getting too cold for them, i'm willing to drive a couple of hundred ks if i have to, and put in the hours

ive got a couple of trolling outfits (shimano tyrnos 20 on shimano backbone, 50lb mono, 140lb wind on leader, clip on wire trace, and a shimano TLD 25 on a shimano backbone, 30lb braid, 140lb wind on leader and clip on wire trace), also have a couple of heavy spin outfits that can be used on metro macks

dont have a teaser or the likes

went for a troll last sunday, 2.5m swell calm breeze off the back of hillaries along the 20m contour at the back of the three mile.. 3 hours from first light till around 9am using halco laser 190s 2m divers (3 of) as Nathan at Cambells pro tackle recommended shallower divers as there is a alot of weed around at the moment, then did some bottom bouncing off the back of the reef as my deckies were getting bored (deckies going overboard next time as i want a mack)

thinking of heading up to jurien bay on easter monday, or going out to the west end of rotto.. cant really find any reports of macks around the last couple of weeks

would appreciate any help, spare hands, anyone with experience is welcome aboard my boat or i can be a deckie on someone elses boat, need to learn the ropes and hope the stars align

any other techniques that could be used to raise a mackie from the depths, lures/baits, drifting, berley.. 

i'm a man on a mission

thanks in advance!

Andrew

i am just about to fit my new transducer for my furuno and i was wondering what screws i should be using..
it is going to be transom mounted on an aluminium boat....

do i use s/s 316 self tappers? i was under the impression that you need to put sikaflex in between the screws and the ally??

any help would be great as im not overly excited about electrolysis

thanks guys

 Hey guys

Well there seems to be bulk mulloway being caught everywhere at the moment

The fishing is probably at its best that I have ever heard of at the moment

I wonder of its time to stop killing them yet

I can't talk I know cause I brought my one home too but I can't help feeling a little bit guilty 

About it. I understand we all want to bring that absolute prize home especially after we put in all those hours chasing the big croakers

Just food for thought

Im not a greenly trying to save the world I was a pro fisherman only 5 years ago and wouldn't consider letting anything go but is it worth it just for a photo? I probably won't ever keep another fish of the size of the one I got on the weekend again

Happy fishing guys and congrats to all the guys who have got stuck into a big mulloway recently feels good when you finally get that big one doesn't it

 hey just wondering if the crays around the mandurah area are in deep or shallow at the moment. heading down for easter and need to know where to put the pots and also have a dive if weather permits. cheers

 I let my mate use my okuma V-System to fight a small ray he was using an extremely light drag and let it run hard and now the ratchet or clicking sound has burned out and was wandering if anyone knewif it could be fixed or how it can be fixed.

Hey everyone


Heading up to coral bay on friday,  we are taking up our boat, but as we havent had it for that long,  i was just wondering if anyone could recommend some lures, baits, or just anyway for us to get onto some decent fish.

Thanks guys any info is appreciated

JK

I seen a young bloke land a 13kg mulloway in the swan tonight and was interested in peoples opinion if a nice smelly bait or a fresh livey is the go? not sure what the young fella was using.

Hi all

Heading to Broome on Sunday for a week. Hoping to get out landbased. Anyone have any ideas where to head other than the jetty, after anything at all and won't have a 4x4.

Also if anyone is heading out next week and wants a deckie I should be available next week with a little notice. Happy to chip in for all the usuals.

PM me if your keen to head out.

Cheers

Note the "v" shaped teeth marks.  A big spaniard i reckon.

This is something I had never thought about but in light of the other post about radar I thought this maybe of interest to some.  The follow comments were offered by a pro game boat skipper on another forum.

"It all comes down to what you can afford at the end of the day and you get what you pay for, the bigger the array the better the quality.

The boat I run has a Furuno FAR2127 Radar, 25w with a 8ft array, frinkin awesome consistently get birds at 8nm and have had birds working at 12nm, some days if I had to choose I would take the radar over the sounder, its saved my bacon a few times.

The big trick I have been taught is to have the gain up very very high almost so the screen is coloured in then the birds will show up much better, some times they are just a faint blur/variation to the colour but if its constant it is more than likely birds. Hope this helps. Play with the gain to you get it sorted, even if you find a work up start playing with the radar so you know what it looks like in the future. The smaller cheaper radars still work, it comes down to playing with the gain, sure they may not find birds at 8 miles but 3 or 4 is better than missing it altogether and makes your covered area bigger in the day.

The radar is an important tool, the eye can only really see birds working at two miles so many a man would have been close and missed a work up / hook up only a couple of miles. If I would have to choose I would put more money into a radar than any of the other electronics on a fishing boat (Game fishing that is).

It’s a great feeling while steaming out to the grounds and spotting birds at 8 miles then heading straight to the action and starting the day in the right place.

Another trick I use on the radar is keeping an eye on other boats, if you and acquire a target on your radar you can see where they are fishing and even see if they are backing up on a fish."

Hey guys need help.
Got a iPad and have photos saved in photos want to upload pictures to this site how to do please.

Hi I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with the smaller Van Staal reels. I am in the market for a new light jig / bottom bashing / shore based soft plastic flicking up north for spangled etc. I know that is asking a lot in 1 reel. Most of the fishing will be at Busselton or up north at Coral Bay.

I am considering between few reels and have posted  a similar topic before. I have not asked about the Van Staal ( VS150 ).

Any advice would help

I heard a rumour couple of weeks back of a big tuna caught out from E shed from a couple of different people then another friend from work came up with this photo. Anyone else seen this or heard about this story?

I have done the trip a few times in a small trailer boat and know how uncomfortabe it can get in the crossing.

Before anyone makes a smart ass comment Im talking seaweed people.

Was just wondering if any members live up that way and could give me a quick weed report for the coast just north of Lancelin. I'm thinking of heading up that way over Easter chasing Mulloway. I know that things can change pretty quickly up that way so some inside imformation towards the end of the week would be awesome. Cheers!!!!

 noticing lots of theft of fishing, diving,and boating equipment at the moment. with all the stuff that gets sold on this site is there any chance of having a new subject field specifically for stolen equipment? . a ''lost and stolen section'' could be v useful..make it harder for crims to move gear on the site_
