just wondering any one heading out tomo for fish light to moderate 13 to 18 knots ese is this good 

While every other mongrel on here is going up there for holidays I'm going up to remove asbestos. Never been, don't know if I'll have time for a proper fish. Looking at Google maps the marina appears to be a handy little destination to get a couple of casts in after work. Love to use lures, particularly soft plastics....anybody have any sort of experience up there doing this?

Hoping to go a little further afield but just don't know how much time I'll have, any help will be appreciated. Oh, and if anybody's up there with a boat at that time (yeah YOU Jamie) I don't get seasick, won't drink all your piss, and I give all my fish away! And I won't call you a mongrel again!

Hey

ok im in tassy and there is this stream that i was fishing today.  i was using halco scorpions in every colour.  i tried and tried i could see the trout swimming then once they saw me they would swim off. now i had my lure in front of this fish which looked at it but didnt attack.  it just swam slowly away.  now how can i catch these critters.  it would make my day.  theyre big too.

Hope I am not going to start a stampede.

Was recently on a holiday in surfers paradise, decided to go on a fishing charter(gone fishing).wasnt too bad could of been much better...all 12 of us were bottom bouncing while the 2 deckies were ballooning for mackerel and once hooked up they would pass the rod to the customers and by then the fish was pretty much worn out(not fishing i recon)i was the only 1 to get an actuall fish from the bottom which was a nice cobia..all the fish being caught were killed and kept..when i landed my fish i asked can i release it and he laughed in my face..i said i can have much more satisfaction releasing a fish then eating it and he laughed and offered it to the rest of the people on the boat and every1 put their hand up to take it...no wonder their charter isnt the greatest coz they are keeping every fish they land. fish for the future and not your stomach i recon. i'd hate for myself to have a son and not for him to be able to catch a decent fish

hi all   im   headin  up   this   w/e    and   want  to  catch  anything  decent  from  tailor  to  targeting  big  mullaz  and   sharks  at  night,  anyone  had  any luck  with  same  sorta fishing, any good  points/spots  were is deep  or   always  on  the  bite???           any advice  would be much apreciated thanks

 ash.

After opinions on a rod around the $350 mark for trolling and ballooning running 10kg. I've settled on a tyrnos 20 over a TLD for the reel but undecided on either a single or two speed model (help). I'd like the rod to be between 5'6 and 6' and use runners only but will consider roller tip if someone can convince me. I've read back through some older topics and have noticed some problems with some live fibres which was what I was considering (stroker series) so any feedback would be great. Will hopefully be giving the outfit a good run during Carnarfin at the end of May and during the Broome Billfish Classic in July.

Cheers,

Damien

I was fishing the back of Garden Island on the weekend, but the schools were patchy to scarce. Are there more schools heading north.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the Fishwrecked Forum but have enjoyed reading all the posts about the great fishing in WA.

I am looking at buying a new medium spinning rod and reel combo. This combo would be used for both shore and boat fishing and fished to max PE3. After researching a number of models and manufacturers I have settled on a T Curve Barra Flats 782 with a Twin Power 5000. However I am keen to hear others reports on both the rod and reel as well as recommendations for similar equipment.

Cheers,

Matt

hi

i was wondering if i should bother using bait or should i use luresi got some 4inch plastics an da bomber long a and a rmg scorpian wt should i use?

my current 27 mhz radio seems to be picking up other peoples transmissions but i'm not able to transmit

everything seems to be working fine . just nobody can hear me. radio not that old and new arial has been fitted.

any ideas to what the prob may be?? lead seems ok.

also looking in case it needs replacing , the vhf has transmit power of 25 watts while 27 mhz is only 4. surely this makes a difference in range although i've been told they have same range

is the vhf worth the arse ache of doing the licence??

My Navman GPS stuffed (antenna and $500 for a new one) and also the sounder is dodgy. Has anyone got an opinion about these 2 units. $500 between the units.

Fishing ATM on triangulation and spots I know. Obviously not the coolest.

Cheers

Otherwise Furono which I can get.
