Seasport

Hey all

went up to Jurien for day ten days and went out on seasport

We started off with some bottom bouncing

Straight away I was hooked, just a small dhuie

next drop I was on and it was a big dhuie

Unfortunatley dropped him on the way up

seconds later my mate hooked up and landed a 12kg Dhuie

Throught the moring we caught two Baldies, a 6kg sambo and a blackarse

Things got quiet so we went to the fads and others got a 4kg mahi mahi and a 8kg one

overall was a great day and we will be heading bck up soon

a big thanks to Whitey  Alexangler


Dinner tonight

Dhuie with cannelloni

I think quite a couple of members own this reel and was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I might open mine up now and have a look at the washers..


Tolling The Fads 29/01/20111

 Headed out to the FADS to day managed a couple of REALLY small Tuna But not much Else. .  Lots of Coral Spawn and the Water temp was around the 23-24 degree mark. Weather was  a little bit blowy to start then flattened out for the rest of the day.  

Any one else head out??

sunday in the river

just wondering your thoughts on being in the river this sunday with bianca coming in? up around the city/narrows

what time is bianca supposed to hit perth?

 


fishing before a storm

When I was a young fella I grew up in Freo.

When a good storm approached from the north it was always good fishing at the moles or ASI jetty,especially for snapper.

Im tempted to slip across to Mandurah tommorow before this cyclone turns up.Is it the same story fishing wise down there before a storm????

tomorrows weather

First Dhuy on a Soft Plastic

With no Clint on board today I managed my first Dhuy on a soft plastic. Was great fun on PE2 really gave the light combo a good work out.

Mate managed another two dhuys on bait while I was mucking around with mine.

Was another great day off Cape Nat. Home before lunch.

 


What is your preference and why? Trebles or singles...

Hey guys!! Havnt had a whole lot of experience trolling with lures (being from melbourne of course) and in June this year I will be pretty much fishing for two weeks in this fashion. I was wondering what your advice would be on how to set up my lures, treble or single hooks? I will mostly be using Laser Pro's, Xraps and stuff similar to that chasing Makerel, trevally, tuna and any other pelagic.

 

If i need to change to singles what are some suggestions on hooks.. brand and size?

 

Also, if i decide to stay with trebles should I upgrade the hooks already on the lures? Any suggestions for that would be great as well.

 

Thanks guys, look forward to your responce.

Denmark Accommodation

Hi.  Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with accommodation in Denmark.  Me and the missus are heading down for a wedding in late March and need a place to stay.  We haven't decided on whether we are taking our 2 boys (2 and 4) and maybe a babysitter or whether it will just be the two of us.  We are thinking maybe a holiday house or challet type thingo might be the go?  Hopefully I get a bit of time to throw a line in while I'm there.


exmouth trip

hey all,

pirate jigs

which of the three rings have had most sucess for you? I have used them couple times and put it through the opposite of the eye end (skinnier side) but im not sure which would work best.


? Reel Maintainence ?

being relativley new to fishing I have sensibly started out with lower priced equipment. I now have the bug for life and its time to indulge with a Saragosa 8000f.  Naturally  I want to keep this baby in good condition.

after fishing I thoroughly wash the reel in freshwater and leave to dry. 

Is there anything more i need to do on a regular basis to extend the life of the reel?

thanks
