Toxic Black Bream
Submitted by ealzee on Fri, 2012-02-03 11:46Caught these a few weeks back with scott99 down at these ponds where the old power station is. I'm sure some of you would know exactly where these are as we thought we would share this we you guys to see if anyone can have any luck there. One going at 41cm and the other at 44 cm with one putting on a massive ariel display on hook up. We were there trying to crack the 50cm mark it wasnt to be. We still hunting for it!

1st time offshore fishing on a charter.
Submitted by garethgkr on Thu, 2012-02-02 13:27Hey guys, well me and a mate are finally going to try our hand at some offshore fishing and we're booked in for Wednesday next week with Port Bouvard Charters.
We're both new at this. We each have a TLD 25 with 15kg mono on 15-24kg strokers. Should we bring them? Because I'm not too keen on what I think are the alvey setups provided by the charter. We don't have any boat rods apart from that.
Cheers

A heads up for members fishing the Ammo Jetty and elsewhere for sharks and rays
Submitted by Gadsy on Wed, 2012-02-01 19:42I came across this email below that has apparently been sent to RecfishWest by a concerned diver who has seen sharks and rays caught at the Ammo Jetty and basically being "mistreated" by the anglers concerned.
Now I know that forum members fish for the future and don't condone the senseless killing of sharks and rays "for fun"and I'm not trying to stir the pot here - just letting people know that this sort of sentiment is out there and quite justified.
Unfortunately it's always a minority that stuff it up for the people that do the right thing (hope the link works) .....

Lowrance Transducer upgrades?
Submitted by Juiced Up on Wed, 2012-02-01 16:31Gday people,
Ive recently purchased a vessel that has a discontinued 10" lowrance Sounder/GPS/RADAR combo unit. Im pretty sure that the transducer is a 600W job as it struggles to get the bottom in water deeper than 100 metres. Are there 1 or 2 kW versions for my unit available, or is it s case of upgrading the whole unit.
Thanks in advance.

The complete fisher must be able to:
Submitted by crasny1 on Wed, 2012-02-01 07:39Something had me thinking. The Mrs always argue with me about who catches the most fish. Well she does have a touch I have to admit. But when she tries the line who is the best fisher, I fight back, because I tie all the rigs. She knows how to, but claim she cant see.
Not picking on her started me thinking what it does take to be a complete angler and I thought I might just see what sort of list can be created:
Might start with:
1. Have an appreciation and respect for the environment that the angler fish in.
I wonder what else may end up on the list.

Lowrance GPS plotter query
Submitted by Tandawg on Wed, 2012-02-01 07:06Hi all Lowrance owners,
I have a 2006 Dash mount Lowrance GPS and was wondering if the cursor (boat) on the plotter/map screen can be reduced in size. The reason being it is quite a large triangular shape compared with the size of the waypoint icon. Or similarly, is there a way of increasing the size of the waypoint icon?
Hope all this makes sense.
Thanks in advance

PROs netting ManduraH
Submitted by meglodon on Tue, 2012-01-31 21:54I have just been made aware that there is a pro netting licence up for sale in the mandurah estuary with no restrictions on species or T A C what a sell out by fisheries. All the talk of buying back licences etc was just a snow jow to falsley keep the rec fishers in the mandurah of their case. First thing tommorrow I'm going to be in Kim's office and give him a piece of my mind about the trechory that is about to be done. I believe that Recfish west sat down with the pros association and had a gentlmans agreement that there would not be any increases in the amout of pros fishing the estuary system. What has happened to the buying back of licences by Dof using the funds from the money rec fishermen put into DoFs kitty.
I ask all members in the Mandurah area to get into Kim Hames office and give him a good serve the businesses in mandurah should take note of this day that will be recorded as a day of treachory by DoF. It will be interesting to see just how much raping and pilaging of the fish stocks will be done by whoever buys this licence when the local shops start bto notice trade dropping off because people won't stop at mandurah to do a bit of fishing from bridges etc because there is no fish it will all be to late. Locals, when you go into a shop now ask them what are they going to do when it becomes known that there is no limit on the amount and type of fish that can be caught with this licence. To recfishwest members get your association to get into the deputy premiers wax ie Kim Hames who has an office in falcon
