I'm based in Port Hedland so basically my only options to get into some gear (other than internet) are K-mart and Smirkeys. Smirkeys has some good gear but is soo expensive.

I've heard there's a tackleshop down in Karratha, is it worth paying them a visit for say getting my hands on an ofshore spinning rod?

Hey every one im thinkin of heading up to jurien to do some fishing off the rock wall!
I have never been there before and would like to know if you can park close and what is caught off there??

Thankyou

We have also now stock Ocean Arts shirts

Ocean Arts are hand sketched and water color arts pieces replicated on apparels.

Ocean Arts apparels are printed utilizing the latest printing technology - Direct To Garment (DTG) or digital printing. This type of printing brings out minute details and colors in different hues, producing an exact replication of the original art.

Unlike traditionally printed t-shirts, the printed design will not fade, wrinkle or shrink, it is also waterproof, heat proof and is abrasion resistant.

T-shirts are 100% pre-shrunked cotton classic cut design.

Hey, i wouldn't mind going down and flicking some plastics around hopping for some skippy or other fish. I dont want your secret spots but a general idea would be very appreciated, cheers troy.

Went to Wilbinga for bash on Thursday, & got eaten by flies. Little bastards draw blood & swarm around ya.
I tried Bushman, they got worse, I tried the other Stuff no better.
Has anyone got a solution to this please. It really was quite bad.

Got these 3 in our moonpool at work at the moment. Amazing fish to watch, any ideas on what they are exactly? They seem to be a blue/silver underneath and a dark grey on top.

 Hi,

Just wondering what the best way is to price a boat when selling it? 

Cheers

Gudday Gents,

Hope everyone had a fantastic Australia Day holiday. I know i did while boating and having a go on a friends new sea doo, well that was until my mate got on the thing and didnt realise that when they are going slow they cant hardly turn at all. He came in close to shore to turn and squirt everyone and all he ended up doing was t-boning it into the middle of my Traiilcraft. Luckily the owner of the jet ski could see what was going to happen and jumped out of the way.

So my question is does anyone know of a good ally boat repairer that can get the dent out and make it look new again, preferably south of the river.

Thanks & happy fishing

i said farewell to her today, my true love

she will be well looked after

couple of photos of te good times we shared together

we went through a few storms over the years

cruising up the daly river

paradise

remote islands, she loved them

At home in a Pilbara creek with her first motor

ahh on her mooring at the montes, she went there 9 times in total

more creek living

second motor

anyway she is gone now, may the seas be flat and wind be fair for her and the new owner

Me and the family heading down to long point either tonite or tomorrow night, just wondering if theres still a way to get on the beach with a car?

Hey guys,

can't make up my mind on what reel to buy. It 'll be used for spinning for pelagics around the 10kg mark, but I'd also like to be able to use it for some medium bottom fishing.

I'm looking at spending about 250dollars, so the Saltist 6500 or Stradic FJ 6000 would fit the picture. (Or should I get a 6000FI and spent the rest of the money on some lures?)

Your toughts? Any alternatives?

Gday having  few days in macau and hong kong in march, anyone heard of any fishing parks etc ?

this song caught my atechion on tv today on mtv

its about  fishing as far as i can tell and is a rather nice song watch the whole thing

I know a few of you had Wet Ink design your boat graphics, how much did it cost and how long did it take? If possible could you post a photo of the finished product?.....Can anyone recomend someone else?....thanks

Enjoy

 Gday Fishwrecked crew,

Just got my first reel boat today and am wanting to get into it Tommorrow

(T/craft 510)

I have no idea where to really GO

I'm as green as can be.

Can any one help with some co-ordinates for a spot off Bunbury.. (australind estuary depart) where I might get lucky with a nice fish

any genuine advice or spot would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Harry

What's the easiest way to bleed a tuna? We went out today and caught a tuna like the ones posted in "what a day out with seasport". I cut its throat like I do with all fish I keep but it was an effort and a half. I have seen on Adventure Bound when they caught that big tuna, Lee stabbed it just above the pectoral fin and bled it that way. Does this method work on the small tuna too or just cutting the throat is the only way?

 Hi Guys and Girls

I'm using Torsa 20 on the above rod for a tiny bit of jigging (no success) and for bottom bashing running 50lb Finns.

I think the Torsa is a bit big and heavy and its ratio is 6.2:1 which makes it a mission to wind up a rig and heavy sinker 300m (if you've had to let line out in a drift fishing 150-200m say).

I'm after something a bit lighter and smaller with grunt and thinking 2 speed with lever drag.  Would probably spend $500-$600 on eBay.

1. Any suggestions based on what you're using?
2. If I ought to have dedicated sep jigging and bottom bashing outfits please let me know.

Thanks very much.

new pb spanaird weighing 14kgs

hi all

yesterday me, my dad and a couple of mates headed out with whitey

with the swell around 2m and reasonable winds the weather was not too great

but amazing i withstood the swell and never got sick

after about an hour we arrived at our first drop

nothing much caught but we repeated the same drop again

bang my friend hooked up to what turned out to be a nice 6kg sambo

moments later i hooked on to something and after a decent fight finally landed my first dhuie

weighing in at 9kg, then whitey got a call saying spaniards and tuna where busting up further out

so after about half an hour we were there and began trolling

seconds in my dad hooks and lands a nice tuna

followed by others on the boat catching spaniards around 10kg and my mate getting a nice tuna as well

now it was my turn and I hooked and landed a monster 14kg spaniard that was nearly as tall as me for which i will be uploading a video of the fight.

after this my other mate who was really sick landed his only fish of the day a 12kg spaniard

this was all caught before 9am, for the rest of the day bottom bounced and bagged out by about 1.30

my mate caught 2 breaksea cod, 2 pinkies (released), a size dhuie and a goatfish

my dad landed some pink snapper as well and another size dhuie and a nice sambo

I topped off my day by catching a ripper baldie as well as releasing 5 snapper(some legal), a skippy and a foxfish

all in all it was a great trip for everyone and a big thanks to whitey and his deckhands

can't wait to go out again

thanks alex

Me and a couple of buddies went to Lancelin for a bit of kayaking and 4 wheel driving last weekend. After a top day out on the water we went for a few frothies and a steak at the Endeavour. We were a bit full afterwards so went for a stroll down to the jetty to see what was being caught. I have never been so disgusted in my life. The first group we walked past were busy filleting a four inch yellowtail....wtf!!  Every crew on there was the same...pillaging baby fish and ruining the stock for the future...where were the fisheries???? If we hadn't been so hopelessly outnumbered I would have kicked each and every bucket I walked past back into the water!!!!!Apparently the jetty gets overrun like this every weekend....I don't want to come across as racist but JHC there wasn't much english being spoken on the jetty that night.

Hi Guys

I've got a Furuno 600L in my boat and the guy I bought it off deleted all the way points is it possible to restore them ? couldn't see anything in the manual maybe with card reader and a PC ?

Does anyone else find that there is a lucky side of the boat? In the past, I have had my uncle and a mate from work fish on my boat and most of the fish come in over my side of the boat on more than one occassion. I fish on the starboard side as I go from the controls to throwing out a line and the decky on the day fishes on the port side. I throw the sea anchor out the back to make the boat face the direction of the drift. My transducer is on the starboard side if it has any affect and the same bait is used on all the lines but I can't say if the bait presentation is the same though. My mate reckons that he is bad luck but I don't see the problem as he is the one not catching the fish, no complaining here. ;)

Ken

gonna make up some assists , and was wondering if anyone had made any up ,  using hooks without welded eyes , such as hoodlums.

just trying to be a cheap arse , but they'll be on smaller jigs for demersals, not sambo jigs.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone else is heading this way tonight?

and also how the weed sitution is im hoping to not have to wait till morning to fish once again lol

if you do come look for a aqua coloured daihatsu feroza thats me and come and say hi.

Im just hopeing to put out some big baits and sit back and hope for something to come along and give me a stretch been a while now since ive seen my backing

matt

Probably heading to Herring Bay tomorrow for Aussie Day. Anyone else going tot be there?

Only problem is, we've never navigated in the bay before by ourself safely (have followed boats in there before, or gone by memory and hit the bottom! LOL),but got GPS and Charts etc. I've heard there are new markers there.

If you see a white Trophy and a guy holding a 50kg Mack you'll know its me! haha

Well the last couple of trips we have done we have been heading up the ramp when most are heading home .As we near we give a wave as we pass a fellow fisher .but not once has anyone waved back.They must have had a shit day or have a Huge stick in there butt. Seems to be the norm in society these days. well I would hope all you none waving fishers all had a shit day and caught f all.

Just got back from jurien bay after 3 days up there,
Caught just about nothing, wind was howling all day long, seaweed made almost impossible to fish from,
I guess they just wernt on the bite because no one else had any luck either,
Woulda had more luck staying in perth, ahah,,

Leaving around 1800 going out to to see whats after dark, drift around the 40m, weather looks good, and its a black day.

Will be on 96 if anybody else is going out.

Cheers

Stoinka

Is morning or arvo better for metro macs.
