Hi people

Planning a Jurien/Greenhead trip soon and just after some advice because i've got pretty little understanding about this area. I've read the best time to travel up there is around March/April/May. is this correct? Also, how do you monitor the weather there because it would be pretty pointless heading there for the weekend and its blowing its nuts off.

Possibly going with 3 mates and 3 big boats (22' glass, 26' glass, 26' abcat ) so is there a decent marina/ ramp there?

Also, is it advisable to have some sort of tarp over the bow of the boat to protect it from small rocks being thrown up?

I've read about fishing so that areas covered.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi guys,

anyone got a Tcurve travel from shimano? How do you like it?

I already got a raider II travel 8-10kg rod and for the price, it is really a nice rod. Tcurve should be slightly better still and I'm thinking on getting a 10-15kg.

Something for the land based guys to keep an eye on in case they try it in WA.

Will effect those who chase snapper and YTK there. Even the salmon fishes will have to go to small hooks.

Does anyone use one of these total knife care nirey elec tric knife sharpeners..

Thinking about getting the professional model to use occasionly at home and for the fishing knives..

I know they may well were out a knife a lot quicker but I do not have the time patience or skill to sharpen my knives the old fashioned way of the stone..

These combined with a good quality steel seem the go..

Pros cons and thoughts on this model or others out in the market place...

hi guys,

Gday all

Just wondering if anyone uses the app and is it owrth downloading. Looks as though it could come in pretty handy but have been burnt with other apps in the past not working properly

Has anyone had any faults with this one - cos about 15 bucks but much cheaper than buying a plotter

Hi all,

I've been looking for a little while but never seriuosly at getting a 12 volt fridge for the boat as a second eskie for the 3 day weekends, family days or even just dawn to dusk cool drinks thing and saw that Hooty just sold one on this site.

does anyone have any they use? Worth the money? are the cheaper ones nasty and not worth the head ache and if you plug it into the boat (granted I have two batteries), will it suck the life out of them and will it handle the abuse a boat in a southerly sometimes gives it?

I already run two eskies with one for fish adn one for drinks/food when away but not dealing with ice on the second one would be nice - or would it?

Cheers

Was fishing 20 kays out from 2 rocks on Saturday and about 5 boats hammered past me Goin flat out....... One bloke was only about 10 meters away!!
Would it be so hard to have a bit of respect and either slow down or take a bit of a wider birth!!
It's a pretty big ocean!!

I was having a chat to allrounder the other day about this

let's say you pull up over a good mark , fish showing.

how many  drifts do you give it before heading off,  if you're getting  no interest from anything good??

Hi, is there any one who could give me the right order for reassembling the components of  my Sea Martin drag. I have just got back into fishing after a few years of ill health and got out the trusty old Sea Martin and decided to strip it down (not the sealed section with the gearing etc) and give it a good "old grease and oil change"! Alas I have absolutely no idea of the order to replace the drag components. I hope someone can help. Thanx.

 Hey all. Pretty new to diving only got my license at the end of last year. I dived crystal palace on Saturday and had an awesome time and just wondering if anyone can reccomend any areas or other dive sites around rotto or north metro. Not asking for anyone's secret spots, I know better, just general areas if anyone could help would be much appreciated just going to observe not interested in spearing any fish or anything. Cheers everyone

Regards Sammy 

Hi All

I will be in Exxy next weekend for a week WOO HOO!!!!!

What has the weather been like lately and whats been biting???

Any local info appreciated

Cheers

is the hillarys fad missing? couldnt find it for the life of me yesterday searched the area for while and it definately wasnt where it should have been!!

Hey Fishos,

I'm trying to refine my style.  Instead of chucking a prawn to the middle of the river and waiting, I've been observing structure, watching the other guys around me and reading up on river fishing for black bream wherever I can.  Bought my first decent rod today, a 6 foot Shimano with reel rated 2 - 4kg, put 3kg Platypus mono on and had a flick around the river this arvo.  Never used such light gear before but was amazed at how far and how accurate the casts could get.

Was wondering, could anyone recommend a size, name and or model of soft plastic for chasing black bream or a hard body or anything else for that matter.

Much appreciation for any help,

Dunc.

 been in the NT for 30 odd yrs now and the fishings has been great but my favorite spot has got the go ahead for the inpex gas plant so me and the missus are thinking of making a move.

I am thinking of geraldton or kalbari to live and work, I work in the comercial construction game and the missus in the fitness industry we are not into fifo, we want to be able to knock off and have a fish landbased and what are employment chances in these places like and are there other places I should consider we are both mad popper fishos  

Went down for fish at North Mole this morning, headed towards the end for first fish, was pretty windy and only managed a few little trumpeter so time to move, went down further towrds the enterence but still near the end bit of wall and again managed nothin, thought it wasnt going to be our day but decided to have one last stop near the enterence of north mole, first few casts there wasnt anyting there either before i caught a little whiting, we thought mabe there could be some fish here as we had luck there in the past, as we continued to fish we managed to bring in a few sand whiting through the plauges of trumpeter that were hanging around, the fishing really picked up as we had caught 7 whiting, 4 tarwine, 2 black bream, black spotted goatfish and a few bust offs on what were expected to be bigger tarwine, a few casts before we were going to leave, my bait got smashed, after a hard battle with what seemed to be a dead weight i brought up a nice 40cm flatty, ended up being a good mornin fishing and a nice feed to finish it off.

My brother sent me this pic of a recent trip to Wedge Island. Insane pic!! didnt really no where to put it

Paid a visit to Kwinana Beach (Horse Beach near Desal Plant), managed to get out on to the old jetty. Just set up ready to fish when Port security nicely came and kicked us off. Didn`t even get a line out.

Looks like a good fishing spot, has anyone fished off the end and what have you caught?

How did you get around security?

If you where caught did you get a fine? They mentioned you could get fined!

Please make me and hoookt feel better by telling us how you all caught nothing today out wide too!

We both missed our chances dropping a Dollie each and the only fish landed was a rat sambo and ytk.
Nothing at all landed on the demersal front. Just weren't on today for us.

Can anybody please help me identify this species?  Caught three weeks ago at Poison Creek WA.
