Just need a bit a of help. I have a Raymarine rc435 gps unit. I have just updated my software but this removes my waypoints. Not a problem, i archived them onto a flash card. Here lies the problem though. I cannot transfer them back onto unit. Have tried everything. Anyone have one of these units that can help me? I do not want to hand enter all waypoints before someone says!!!

so my family and my gf's family are planning a trip sometime in late april/early may down to mandurah. the place we're staying is a short trip away from the cut so im wondering what can i expect down there around that time?

Fishing 2 weeks ago at the wrecks off Rott and caught a couple of nice fish until a 12 ft Tiger and his posse showed up.  Was thinking about heading out to the containers and was wondering if anyone has any luck out that way or if the sharks are still out in numbers?  Lots of baitballs and was wondering if that's what got the sharks out.  Cheers, Ben

Hopefully there is somebody here can help me as soon as possible.

My Salt water aquarium has overly high Ammonia levels even after I have changed the water, I have done two 1/3 water changes in the last two days but my fish are continuing to die off due to high ammonia.   Can anyone help me

I thought I saw this someplace, but it doesn't say anything about it on the fisheries web site. Anyone able to elaborate on this?

Cheers
Dale

i still haven't got my target fish for this year (YFT)

i'm wondering and how long the tuna season is here and how much longer it's worth dragging lures about. i'm sure they can handle cooler water than spaniards but ???

Enjoy Happy Easter

hey lads.... heading up too moore river saturday doing abit off land based fishing river and ocean just woundering if the mouth is still open and if any fish are on the go if so could you give me the heads up on sum spots and were too go for the big thumpers cheers.serge.tiightlines lads.

brp (etec) would have to be the best after sales/warranty i have ever heard off, anybody else delt with them.

we had bought a demo engine with 20hrs and have since found it has done alot more than we were told,

 brp are replacing the whole dressed power head with no question ask and we will end up getting an engine reading 0 hrs(brand new), better than what we had bought to start of with, and not costing us a cent.

also the engine was bought from a dealer over in QLD and brp has taken it upon themselfs to sort us out instead of arguing with the dealer......unheard of.

hii was wondering what would be best for moore rive out of these lures ,atomics, 35,52 scorpien,stiffy minow,laser pro 45s or a juro lure?  cheers

Hey guys,

Not another salmon thread, but something slightly different. I have never chased them before and will be in Pemberton next weekend to try and hunt a couple down. I've heard they are average eating at best so am keen to get some more opinions and find out the best way to prepare and cook them?

I'm thinking salmon steaks on the BBQ, on the beach, with butter and garlic after a long days fishing might be the way to go?

Cheers,

Rob

i'm just wondering how everyone thinks the revenue raised from the new fishing licenses would be best spent to improve our fishery??

fisheries officers? research? re-stocking? man made reefs?? something else?

Hey all you Barra professionals out there...

Was curious as to how you all setup your rig for live baiting for Barra? I usually will have a small to medium(depending on current at the time),  running sinker on 60-80lb leader down to a single hook on the bottom with the livie thru the back.

Ive been told recently that this is not the best way to do it. Because this will put the livie on the bottom to swim around.  I should be using a paternoster type set up with a sinker on bottom and a single hook on a loop about 1-2m up the leader depending on how deep you are fishing too. This will put the livie swimming around the mid-high water column where the Barra attack from below like they do with lures, due to Barra sitting on the bottom of the creek looking upwards waiting to attack...

Was wondering if anyone had an opinion of this. Next time im home im going to try it out and see how it goes too.... Cheers. Mark.

Just heard on the radio, the fishing band is being increased to 4 months now.

Been told an engineers report has now deemed the ramp unsafe for public use.It will be closed for the long weekend and re checked late next week to see what can be done to repair it.It looks like mindarie and ocean reef are going to be busy for the weekend.

originally called it for a sambo, but not too sure now. samberjack maybe

Well.... Thi sis what my car looked like after the storm

The insurance guys have written the old girl off so it's time to step up a little...

TD5 with pretty low milage and in good nick. More grunt, more room and more freedom I hope.

hi all, in need of some help here! =)

I'm after some suggestions for a rod and reel combo for catching salmon and casting lures.

i want to be able to cast 50-70g metals and poppers FAR..like 100m+

ive got an exceler 4000 and spheros14k but i think i may need a reel something inbetween those two. budget is as low as possible, after a bang for buck combo. but willing to spend up to 400-500 inc braid.

what do you guys use?

cheers.

Hit tha beach at 7 this morning.    I told my mate if I was on within 10 casts we would have a good morning.  Cast number 8 bang I was on.    Then it was every cast for ages.   It was a herring frenzy!!   I had enough for me and started filling my mates bucket.    He soon changed up his rig and was on fire aswell.    Then tha best thing I have seen since I started fishing over here.   A school of big fish maybe salmon maybe tailor I'm not sure, swam right infront of tha groyne we were on.    I was stoked it's been herring, herring, herring for me every time I go out, so it was nice to see some other fish even tho they left just as quick as they showed up.    We kept at it for another 30 mins or so but all went quiet.   I figured maybe tha school of big fish scared off everything else.   Great way to start tha day anyhow and jus glad I was able to get out.

Hey there... I have a fairly new 21 foot ramco half cabin and I fancy going fishing in cockburn sound or somewhere from point perron ramp on Friday night and due to my lack of night fishing/ boating experience I was looking for some help in where to target . I was thinking of burlying up at the top of GI and seeing what happens... Any tips??? Co-ords??? Cheers....

dont know if this is how to post pics as it is the first time, but i am learning.

pics from friday nights sleep out on the boats, (trying for some prawns) my young bloke in the black shirt with his first ever tailor out of the river with his couson first as well. they ended up geting 6 tailor ranging up to 35cm.

they also got a couple of small rays that night.

thats my mate asleep on his marlin board after having a few to many, thank god we were set for the night.

we went out to rotto for a fish  sat  morn and even though it was rough as guts we still had a good time.

i got nothing as i was rigging up for the boys, but my young bloke got a cople of black ass and his cousin pulled in a jewy.

the jewy was just under and was released to his discuss. (his first ever jewy), it all got to rough and by 10 we headed back in.

a good night/morn for the kids all round, they were stoked.
