Can some one give me some advice as to why my Navman 6500 fish tracker looses bottem at about 130m or can't see fish at 90m when there are some really big gold band on the bite.

Just heard it on the news that a shark was sighted east of the Busselton jetty 60 metres off shore. Water as dirty as at the moment but fisheries are there trying to confirm.

a work mate of mine is heading to wellington dam and was wondering what is the best bait/way to target them

Hey guys new to fishwrecked the forum always pops up when im typing questions into google so thought it be best i join up so G'day!

Need some info I'm heading up to exmouth at the start of may with my folks and fiancé for 5 days. Folks are driving through the center and picking me up in my patrol from the mine I work at outside Newman.

We have a full day booked with onstrike charters just for the 4 of us and a day whale shark diving. What I wanted to know from anyone who has been up there is can u suggest some other sites/good fishing spots/sight seeing we should check out? Also what fishing gear we will require? Apart from the day with onstrike we will be land based.

I'm taking shimano starlo stix tour pro 2-4kg with 2500, t-curve 4-7kg with stradic 4000, 11ft heavy surf rod with 8000. What sort of terminal tackle, lures, plastics would you guys recommend? Weights, sizes and brands. Full newbie to the area so all and any advice very much appreciated!

Cheers

Chris

 

has anyone heard anything about the person who was suppost to walk underwater from roto to freo

Hi

Anybody out there got a witchdoctor or similar they do not use and want to sell?

Ring gary on 0417829899

Went out to have a look over the boat, and noticed a brake pad lying on the floor.  So , jack the trailer up and off with the wheel.

The pad had indeed come out , but before the previous fishing  trip , so the piston was all smashed to pieces.

bugger as I'd done bearings and brakes last easter. 

I knew I'd be opening a can of worms but off came all the wheels.  The other pads were good if a couple of heat cracks , but I didn't think it was a good idea to replace just the one set,  so all calipers had to come off.   

1 ended up being siezed again , so good thing really.

the brake lines didn't look the best last year , and this time they snapped when undoing the fitting on two.

So , my question is  

Anyone using the flexible brake lines like maybe the transtyle kit ones, or can you recommend another type, as I'm gonna replace the lot??

cheers

Hey guys,

Heading up to abrolhos island for 4 days over the weekend on a charter.

Was wondering if anyone had any tips, advice or techniques they could share.

It being the first time going up there wanted to make the most of it so any advice would be appreciated.

Wether it be from rigs to types of lures? Also willing to try new things while im up there

Cheers,

Jamie

i've seen a few posts about people doing stupid things lately thought i would throw in my experience this morning.

i was cruiseing along the 4wd tracks on my quad this morning with my 5 year old just going for a lesurly ride to check out the surfing comp on at the beach when i came accross a few branches on the track, they were only small so i just rode accross them only to drop into a big hole dug in underneath them

some complete idiot has come along on a busy track dug a deep hole and covered it with branches

luckily i was only going slow and the hole wasnt big enough to throw me off the quad but the tracks are busy and plenty of guys on 2 wheel motorbikes go through there at high speeds it could easily have killed someone or done serious injury.

i dont know what sort of brainless person would do this

needless to say i stopped and filled the hole in

Yesterday I was about to load my boat onto trailer when 2 helpful blokes offered to assist. Now I usually do this myself and takes probably about 4 or 5 minutes but yesterday with the help receieved only 1 minute . If it was you that assisted I would like to thank you once again.

Just proves that there still are good people out there at boat ramps.....

oh p.s nothing caught but enjoyed myself :-)

heading out up river

Caught and released this Sambo today. It was a great tussle. cheers Pete.

 Has any one been out with Unreal charters in shark bay before? Just after some feed back on experiences with them? I'm headin up there over the easter break. Also does anyone have any pointers on where to fish out of a dinghy (3.8m) in the bay

Cheers Matt 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-31/fatal-shark-attack/3924828 Just read this made me think of the young bloke that caught the tiger shark down there the other day. Young bloke with a family. Sad but were all aware of the risks i suppose?

Am looking at getting a new set of spotties for my cruiser and was just after peoples opinions on which is better, white or blue, and if i should go pencil beam,spread or combination. Any suggestions on particular brand/model would be greatly appreciated also. Am looking at spending a max of $400

Has anyone had experience with the us trailers as in the torsion arm suspension I haven't seen one but are they fairly durable as I run a ali tandem axle trailer with leaf springs which I tow to Gnaraloo every year an the new boat coming has the tandem axle Ali trailer with torsion arms
Cheers

I pulled out of the vegie shop and nearly goy whacked by a white prado which looked suspiciously like the Sherbie mobile. Chock a block full of fellas and swags on the top. Headed toward Perth so I can only imagine the old fart has been out and about again. Looking forward to a report. I'm headed up that way in a few minutes. See what damage they have done LOL. I hope there are some fish left.....

Had a fish for a couple of hours at the narrows and had the pleasure of meeting fellow member Benno208 and his mrs. Not much happening on the fish scene, but a tailor each was enough to keep us keen for a while.

We were both flicking lures the whole time. Oh, and Ben, being the legendary fisherman that he is - managed to catch a little river prawn! Not many blokes here can say they have caught a prawn on lure before....

Just wanted to say Ben, if your reading this - was a pleasure to meet you mate and hope we cross paths again in the future. :)

Recently as per usual when I need specialised fishing / brands that ordinary fishing tackle stores dont supply I make my way to Oceanside Marine Tackle. I just got to say yet again that these blokes are bloody fantastic and never fail to deliver the goods. This trip to oceanside was to round up a present for my old man's 50th birthday . Seeing Iv finally got him into demersal jigging and we have been doing a fair bit of snapper fishing . My target rod was a Eupro Twin Craft . None the less these rods are bloody beautiful I use one myself and use it constantly , one problem Ocean Side had run out. This is a huge thanks to Ryan Thipthorp who had a spare Eupro Twin Craft at his home which inisisted I could have and he sold me it. This is going beyond customer needs and I gotta say Im jealous of my old man , using a rod from Ryan Thipthorp , no excuses not to catch a big fish now. So a big thanks to all the boys at Oceanside Marine , this is the type of customer service that always keeps me coming back. Bloody Legends.

is anyone heading to e shed tonight

was thinking of going myself
