keen for a shark fish but cant get anywhere, anyone mind if i come with them ? got all my own gear :)

cheers chris 

To all you sad souls who keep pestering sherbs to go for a fish you are about to understand why you have not been invited along......

First of all these piks have been requested by sherbs to be put up and this was not done of my own back as a piss pull etc....

Atleast they found some tailor!

hey fellas havent been for over a month just wondering if there still catching good amounts of crabs in the sound

Just chasing some feedback on the Azusa rods. In particular the APS902H PE4-6.

Anyone tested this rod off the rocks up north? How did it perform?

Cheers

 Hey guys im looking for a light jigging rod to suit a stella 3000 fd running 15 or 20 pound line , anyone got any suggestions ? Cheers.

Today, I learnt that if you mix half a bacon and egg mcmuffin, the hash brown, a packet of premix berley, a kilo of chopped mulies, some old chocolate biscuits and some fish oil together, it
makes a VERY effective berley for tarwhine and whiting.
 

What a productive tuesday, especially since i barred uni to go for a fish..

Is every wreck out the back of rotto (graveyard)  on the charts , or are there many that aren't?

Some nice unexpected catches!!

Some nice unexpected catches!!

Caught it ballooning tonight just around Port Beach. Pretty sure it’s a Sandbar because it had a long tail (about 60 cm and shark was around 1.5 maybe a little less). Left my camera at home so couldn’t get a picture of the whole shark.

Had a fresh fillet of it tonight and was delicious!

You guys reckon it’s a Sandbar? Sorry I know its hard to tell from this picture.

Hey I just brought a new overhead combo and was hoping to go out for a jetty fish soon unfortunately I don't have much knowledge could anyone please help on some rigs to use or even just some advice on what to do in general

Cheers parry

 Dear fishwrecked, hey guys, long time no talk.
Im in need of a bit of help fixing my force 50hp gearbox, anyone know of someone that could help me out? or even where i could get a new gear box the replace it?

im hoping thats someone wuld be able to tell me there secret spot or just a good spot to fish.

around the rockingham area maybe.

i was thinking about maybe bream fishing.

any ideas?

im just wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me.

im really keen to go have a fish but cant afford it.

im just curious to see how many other people there are.

 Just had a phone call from a mate fishing down near freo area just 5 minutes ago. He caught what he thinks is a thresher although he is unsure. he was ballooning off a freo rock groyne. He described it as having a really long whippy tail, that faught extremely hard for its size. was around 1.8m long. 

My question could it possily be a thresher or are they an offshore species??

He was solo and did not have a cameara o take a pic.

Hi guys i have tried to use the search function for a while and it seems to be stuffed anyone else have this problem???.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has tryed any of the braided lines or even mono lines available on ebay and what they're thoughts on them are? Pretty cheap and available in large spools. I currently use high end diawa and nitlon braids as I dont mind spending that little extra on decent line, but have a few mates who are going to try it and see how they go so looking for others experiences.

Cheers Sam.

gday there guys was just wondering if any one has any used this fishing line and if it is any good. I am only a first year apprentice but if there are better lines (braided) out there for bout the same price i would like to know

Thanks Guys appreciate it

missing since 2pm when he failed to return from a dive, buddy was waiting in the boat, it won't be very comfortable out there seaching,lets hope he is found alive and well

Hi all

New to the forums, I

 I have mostly just been fishing/squiding around cockburn sound with a smaller boat but I just recently bought a 19ft fibreglass mastercraft powered by a 90hp Yamaha. The plan is to get in to some decent fishing around five fathom, and  am hoping to hit the FADS. where abouts around 5 fathom have people been going?

My next question comes in at trolling. Trolling for fish what depth lures have people been getting them on? and which types are the go atm. Just basic ones that flash? Poppers? I need to know which kind of lures for which fish and conditions.

 Any advice or help would be great!

 Cheers

Has anyone caught much off the little jetty or off the beach around hopetoun?

 Gday All,

Any one heading up Steep Point this week ?

Got a question to those who have installed a "glass bottom veiwing panel" in the hull of their fibreglass boats. I have spoken to someone who has the same boat as me, a Fraser 5.25 and they told me that they had stuck a bullet proof piece of perspex in his past boats which made it a dream for diving and I was thinking of doing the same at some stage. Just wondering who has done it, how much it has cost, have there been any structural problems and where it can be done?
Cheers,
Ken

 hey, keen to go for a shark bash on saturday night but have no way of getting anywere, anyone else going for one on saturday and wont mind me tagging along, got all my own gear and bait 

cheers pom 

 G'day everyone,

Im Heading up north to coral bay in a few weeks and im planning on going after my 1st stick face. I've got all the gear sorted, so I was just after any tips on what to do and what not to do once the fish is hooked or in the spread at least. Total novice to marlin/sail fish here so any help is appreciated! I think what I'm mostly would like to know is how and where the boat should be positioned during the fight.

I'll be fishing from a 5m runabout and Ill be using 2x 15kg trolling outfits running soft grassies and Oscar juniors in various colors, also a teaser for good luck.

Any help is appreciated :) cheers!

 Hi Guys,

Finally, after losing a couple of big rays we landed this beauty last night. Just wondering if anyone could provide more info on it. I believe it is a Dasyatis chrysonota but am unsure whether it is male or female as this plays a large part in the weight of the ray. Unfortunately we didn't measure the disc width but would estimate it to have been at least 150cm..It was released after a couple of photos,

All the best, Scott

 Went out to the west end for a troll yesterday water temp was only 22.3 degrees , water looked like shit! Still managed to pick up a solid mackie on the southern side on our way home. Is this early signs that the metro pelagic season is winding down
