Seasport
Submitted by alexangler on Sat, 2011-01-29 20:22Hey 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

fishing before a storm
Submitted by LandyAndy on Fri, 2011-01-28 17:30When 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????

What is your preference and why? Trebles or singles...
Submitted by PattyT on Fri, 2011-01-28 15:14Hey 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
Submitted by wazzbat on Thu, 2011-01-27 17:01Hi. 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.

? Reel Maintainence ?
Submitted by PerthGlory on Wed, 2011-01-26 12:44being 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
