Just wondering the best way to measure a boat for a cover, also is there different covers for cabin cruisers with a windscreen on top?

Also are they cheaper to buy from the USA, and what would be the best website for this?

Caught this beautiful little Goatfish today in 40m of water. I have only ever got them in shallow water before .

Anyone know what sort of Goatfish it is ?

Cheers

Terry

Just wanted to thank Eric l for taking "thebradybunch' and I out yesterday for a bottom bash, ended up bagging out on baldys, black ass and a nice snapper, got a dhu each but were all under size, nice mixed bag for the day and would love to do it again some day to get that big dhu, and maby even go out deep some time, but thanks again for the great day out.

Hey all

Looking at going to a beach LB tonight with the girlfriend. Looking for some herring/whiting/tailor stuff like that.

Anybody got any suggestions? Preferably between about swanbourne and rockingham but I'm willing to travel a bit. I am SOR.

Cheers,
Sam

just an older pic i found of a nice baldy we got last year...ammused me a little.....bored shitless as you can tell.

 So my alarm was supposed to go off in an hour at 315. Was going to have an early early start. I've woken up an hour early. I've looked out my window which fortunately overlooks freshwater bay and if the river is anything to go by.... The ocean will be amazing. The winds are looking pretty much straight westerly. Oh I can not wait to get out!!!!! I'll be around rotto in a blue centre console. Come say hi

went out for a spot of squidding tonight.. and starting jigging next to some young anglers.

about 2 hours into it, they spotted 2 large crays and got all excited,  one of the fellas floated a prawn on a hook near the cray, of which it latched onto

and tugged relentlessly (and NO he didnt deliberatly jig it). they managed to pull it up and measured it at 102mm (75mm i think is legal), and there was a second on that was larger under the same rock..

now my quesion is. with the appropriate licences would these kids been able to keep their catch? i dint know what to say to them, if i should have said anything..

but i was proud to see them release the cray as they were unsure of the rules and regulations..

needless to say it was quite funny to see the girl handling the cray (very well) and the two other fellas freaking out. hahahaha

well its been a few years coming but i got my first ever dollie today and what a way to start with a 104cm beast.

got him on my demon blood pe3 with stradic 5000 and put up a nice fight as well.

the only problem now is beating it.....lol.. few more years should do it.

well lads what do you think this is, ive got a fare idea but iam leaving it up to you, was in the 40's of rotto unfortunatly we tried to release with weights and swimming it but refloated 10m from our drift.

 Good afternoon,

On tv atm paul is fishing in a tiny rubber ducky with an eletric motor. It looks like he is fishing up north on the edge of some nice looking cliffs

and the seas are not dead calm. Has anybody seen this episode and thinks its dangerous? Never been up there an experienced it, but by the looks of it on the tv

it does looks a bit hairy.

Cheers james 

 Went out to 3 mile today for first time and a bit beyond tried to find some ground on the sounder couldn't get much still very inexperienced Dno what I'm doing/looking for really, was good to get out deeper than just staying shallow and what a morning to do it! Nice conditions until the easterly hammered us on the way in didn't know where to go through the reef but with nice conditions and no swell didn't matter this morning but took note of what others were doing, only managed wrasse and a small black arse . How did every one else go, and what should I be looking for ground wise and depths? Chasing anything that will fight edible or not

 Has anyone bought or used the saratoga rods or reels available on eBay

Who knows what to believe?

Seabreeze says wnw winds for saturday morning and willy weather says ene.

At least they can agree the winds wont be strong which ever way they are coming from.

So I went for a fish Tuesday arvo and made the trek to the end of the south wall.

On many occassions there was schools of either big mullet (or tailor or herring??) swimming up and down the inside (facing back towards the beach) rock wall, at times they would even swim in a circle, creating a 'ball'.  Sometimes just swimming at a leisurely pace, other times chasing the small bait fish.  They were hugging close to the rock wall.

These schools were at least 5 meters across. We threw twisties, plastics and unweighted mullies into, on top of, infront of, through, behind, underneath, every direction possible, and they were NOT INTERESTED!  I'm telling myself that they're big schools of mullet, but can someone confirm?

These were decent sized fish too! Looked to the naked eye about 40cm+

Anyone else seen/caught them, i just want to know what they are?

Cheers,

Alex.
