hi guys the weather gods have finally smiled upon us here in perth, i look forward to heaps of reports for the coming weekend , good luck all  !! cheers

found one new in a hock shop for $120, claimed retail $300 when i looked em up. did some searching and found someone who had one and it snapped after a few casts. its been sitting in the rod rack last few weeks so thought ide give it a crack tomorrow so got it out fed line through the eyelets pulled the line on a  very light drag at about 45 degree angle and snap, high modulus graphite...... clean snap 4th eyelet down, seemed like a nice rod, guess it was to good to be true. any thoughts or any1 used or heard of these rods?

 I received a few good posts about my problem setting up extended leaders to braid. After much experimentation and thought I have come to the conclusion that few knots really address the real problem as the leader tag end usually ends up at the wrong end. JohnF put me on to the FG Knot. Thanks mate. It's the toughest knot I have ever tried. Below is my test version for tomorrow. It's not tidy but it is STRONG and creates little problem through the guides.

Made some deep drop sinkers today ready for the weekend

just wondering what lures you guys think are good on queenfish.

i am going up to exmouth in mid october doing some landbased fishing. its my first time up there so i would like to know just whats around that time of year and what lures to use. i would really appreciate it if i got some info.

Just bought a stella 10000sw lookin at matching it up with a good rod got a couple in mind already got a spin rod so probably more for jigging /bottom fishing be interested to know your thoughts . ps budget of about $500-$600

Hi i just bought some shimano power pro braid and want to know if I need to do anything differt as for spooling as its a stella

 Sick of seeing the Richtor get smashed and no hookup? Having hooked up are you pissed off that it takes 15 minutes to get the fugging huge single trebble out of the mouth? After finally getting the Treble out are you pissed off that the fish is pretty much dead?

I am!!!

This is my effort to change the setup. A small section of wire trace to a top assist hook and a similar hook at the tail.

Hiya Fellas. We are heading up to Coral Bay in October for two weeks fishing, fishing and more fishing and thought we might use about 4-5 days to go and have a look up at Broome. Any thoughts about good fishing spots in Broome? How long would the journey between Coral Bay and Broome take?

Thanks and appreciate any advice

Gday just to let you know that my family and I will be fishing/camping this Sat/Sun up moore river Pm for moore details. The more the merrier I say

Just looking at getting a 600w tranny for a HDS8 for my GPS and backup sounder. Looking at the In hull as they dont require any bolting to the boat and are not going to cop anything hitting them in the water. The GPS should be good enough to pick up the speed of the boat so only the temp would be missing compared to the transom mount. Any ideas?

deleted thread...

 just found out i dont have work tomorro sooooooo, anny one wanna go out for a squid???? lookin for a buddy. i'll go hillaries, through to freo. and anywhere in between???

looking to leave in the next hour or so

hey I'm new to WA can you please give me some good jettys to go fishing....

Any infomation would be greatly helpful...

Cheers

 Gday peeps...

Im definitely back into my fishing after such a long drought, Ive been on a promise to buy a boat from the 'cheese n kisses' for about 6 years now... anyway, the time has come, she has her Landcruiser... and 'she who must be obeyed' thinks a boat would look reel good behind it.

Ive been begging for years to just get a tinny cheap and go and get a feed of herring, whiting, squid etc and upgrade once Ive got some experience, and after going out over the last few weeks in my mate neighbours 10 ft 6hp tinny Im over it(that saved a few bucks hey)... Im budgetting between 5 and 10 grand and hope to have something for the summer season, but my question is what do I want... Its gonna be my first boat, now before I get told to just get a tinny(or finance)... I do have a lifetimes experience as my Dads(and many others) deckie and have the utmost respect for the sea... Im picking a boat in this price range that will only require me to improve my 'experience' 'knowledge' etc before I go out further.... Im in a position to save this kindve money over the next few months and really dont want to get finance for my ultimate dream boat just yet... I wanna make sure it isnt just a thing that sits on a trailer in my driveway that only gets used twice a year first(I doubt it... but I wouldnt be the first that said this).

Basically Im thinkin at first its just something stable enough for a little bit of chop when I wanna go fishing in the sound or around penguin island etc... or a family cruise in the river when the fireworks are on...

But I would like a boat thatll get me to rotto... or a bit further as I get better, What do I want

Im thinking at least 18ft, but whats better, inboard/outboard.. fibreglass/aluminium... Evinrude/Mariner/Johnson

I aint going for a half cabin cause I want to fish with room... 

What kindve sounder/GPS etc are really worth the massive outlay

Where do I start???

has anyone tried the berkley power dough on the trout, i had no luck with a few different options the other day and i saw this stuff at kmart a while ago and thought it could be worth a shot?

i am a little pissed to say the least.

about 2 months ago i bought a penn 15kg boat rod, yes not the ducks nuts but its all i required as it was like a 5th reserve rod. and as luck would have it i needed to use it on our recent trip to coral bay. second drop i felt the rod slowly load up which was the bottom...i applied a little bit of pressure and BANG! the rod snapped in 3 places. when i spoke to bcf where i bought it from they informed me that penn would not swap the rod therefore i am stuck with a rod broken in 3 places...

what a joke.....i dont like complainin about companies in public but seriously..that is b grade for such a large company...

any thoughts on what i can do???

Hi guys

Heading up to broome on we'd for a week. Anyone know if the jetty is good this time of year. What's the best method To catch gt's and queenies off the jetty

Cheers

Well can I say one thing negative about my new Stella 8000 SW. It doesn't sound like its even working when its screaming on the drag. Mrs Saragosa 8000 makes a great noise. Not the Stella.

The best reel scream I have ever heard (keep it clean fella's) is the Alutecnos 1Speed Gorilla. 

Made me think what is the best sounding reel under pressure?
