hey guys, can someone please advise where i can get a piece of the cutting baord plastic, chasing a piece roughly 800mm x 400mm.  thanks in advance

 Hi all, wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction for some land based squiding areas as close to Margaret River as possible.

Thanks 

 This may have already been done to death but if it hasn’t and you own a Suzuki df140 or it’s white cousin the Johnson 140 like I do between the years 2002 and 2007 it might be worth reading this. I will cut a long story short in the wisdom of the gurus at Suzuki they decided to place a mild steel plug in an alloy exhaust jacket component which is exposed to salt water and hot exhaust gases. Dis similar metals in that environment spells disaster a hole in motor and hot exhaust gasses burning out a wire loom that runs next to the fail zone. I just recently removed the plug by tig welding a 10 mm bolt to the plug once removed the corrosion was obvious. There was only one thread left on the female part of the thread. I have heard of people welding up the hole, I cleaned it up and built up the corroded area with plasti bond  which is temp rated and bonds very well with Alli , get your hands on a m18 x1.5 tap and tap hole. Purchase a gold plug which are made for this issue. For more info on this issue google df140 engine holder corrosion. If ya got one of these motors looking at buying a pre loved boat motor package or know someone who has one worth looking at. I will try post some pics but not sure how. Hope this helps cheers Todd

I am seeking a chart plotter/navigation programme to run on my laptop and want one that will use navionics cards. The two programmes I have in mind are the navionics PC plotter and C-Map.

If any members know of any other software that uses navionics cards I would appreciate being told about it.
Also if members could please give their opinions/views on either of the two programmes mentioned above they would be most appreciated
Why do I use a laptop you may ask, I'm as blind as a bat and I need a big screen and using a laptop is the cheapest way to get a 12" screen.

Packing the boat this morning and realized my 1kw has gone and the 600w backup has also had a haircut

in atwell

not much you can do

my only thought is the rip it off each trip (I don’t use the boat as much as I once did) and just connect it up to the plug under the gunnel each time I’m heading out

not ideal but I’d have some money on them coming back for another visit because let’s face it, it will be replaced

 On the plus side we ended up with a heap of whiting for bait for next years trips away

might leave the sounder at home more often 

 Not sure if this is the right place, so let me know if I am doing the wrong thing, I have just sold my boat due to age and health reasons, I have two Marlin 150 manual inflate PFD's which are brand new, in the packaging never used, want $70 each for them, e-mail me at .

Regards Mal.

 Lifes complete have now checked the box for both bait and jig caught 20 keggas. Happy days

Was out with a mate for an anchor burley session yesterday morning, no luck on the pinks other than getting bricked by a big pink but scored this 80cm king on a 40gm jig worked at anchor in 20m! Epic fight on the green ultralight gomoku and 20lb braid.

Hi all
Looking to get into the Crays this yr.
Trying to find where to get good quality Jarrah pots.
Anyone on here sell them or know a good quality source.

I’m just about to pull the trigger on getting a larger vessel ( 28 ft Bruce Harris shark cat ) and I need to get it up to Carnarvon. I’ve thought of steaming it up here and decided that it’s a little too adventurous for me . The only other option is to stick her on the back of a low loader ( Flybridge necessitates this ) to get her up here. Any recommendations on transport companies ? . I’m also needing to find out who does boat lifting in Mandurah. Thanks in advance. 

Enjoy

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a feed of squid from a boat out from mindarie. I’ve moved from sor to nor last year so any tips would be appreciated.

Hi folks,

Might be a silly question and apologies if it is - but I’m in shark bay for a week with the fam (not a fishing trip) and  the 2 1/2 year old found a whole bunch of good size, empty cockle (pipi?) shells on the beach right in Denham. So im curious. Is there a good feed of cockles to be had here? Does anyone know if getting a few good cockles in shark bay is common ?

im also trying to find out if blue rings are a risk here as the little one loves walking the shallows and investigating everything. So while I’m asking the locals if anyone has an opinion, then happy to hear it !

Thanks !

Mick

Thinking of upgrading to a 27ft boat but concerned about parking the trailer at public ramps due to the length of trailer. Anyone else have this size trailer boat and regularly launching? 

 Cheers 

 Hi Guys,

i need a 15 or 15-24 kg lbg rod.  Anyone got one to sell that’s not too rough? It will be used with a penn international 16s with 15 kg mono.

thanks

Hi guys

I’m having issues getting readings from my sounder over around 15 knots.  It’s caused by the mount for the transducer which is pretty crap. Rather than replace the mount I figured I’d just go for a wet box install. The boat is a Haines 580 breeze and is running a TM260. Can anyone please recommend someone who could do the wet box installation for me?? I’ve searched on here and can find people who have done it themselves, but couldn’t find recommendations for places that do the installs.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

 Mate that had his 3 Beastmaster 9000 Stolen from his boat is looking at replacing them.

What option do you think is the best for 140m dropping for dhu etc

Love to hear about lecky reel options

Hi,

In the UK we used to drop 4 hook rigs with feathers or foil and concistently catch Mackereal, Cod, Ling, Whiting. Not seen these types of rigs used anywhere in Perth. Are the fish here a bit smarter than to chase tin foil?

Gday fishwrecked fraternity,

anyone in the southern suburbs have a 100L ice box I can borrow this weekend? Preferably around Bibra lake or thereabouts. Happy to throw youse a 6 pack, fillets, or some crays for your efforts. 

im heading away for a long weekend. I have access to a 150L, but I think it’ll take up too much room in the boat. 

Cheers boyZ.

Or they will out fish you!

Young bloke was extremely happy with himself to land his first squid. I was looking at something out the back of the boat and hear a small splash, similar to the sound of him casting. Turned around to see him lifting a squid over the side!

He was very happy with himself and everyone within half a mile of us knew how proud I was of him!

At 2.5, he cant properly form a sentence but can say "I caught squid by myself"

He ended up with a pair and I got nothing....

This is why I fish for the future and pick up rubbish when I go to the beach.

 Just returned from a week in Exmouth with my kids , had a great few days catching rosie snapper and pearl perch in 150 metres on jigs and goldband and pearl perch in 110 metres

Did venture out to the 350s one day for a ruby but rhe sharks were like flys on poo 

Last day we fished some shallows for a couple of nice trout , rankin and spangos , great fun with the kids and lots of laughs had

had chance too pop out this morning.

Wasnt long after a pollard bread and

fish oil mix too get em goin . Managed

close too our bag fairly quick. Few herring

bubbling up in the mix .. kept some for

smoker. And a few for baits .. good

morning .. bits of prawn doin the

damage .. cheers pirate .. 

Gents,

Looking to purchase a new heavy duty overhead rod to expand my drone fishing fleet. Must have pre-requisites for this rod are (a) must must be between 9ft and 10ft, (b) must be overhead not spinning (c) must be at least PE6 with fast taper. This rod will be used with my electric reel (twin tanacom), with PE6-7 braid, and will be droned out 800m+ with heavy baits and sinker. Must be capable of bringing in 15kg+ fish at almost full drag.

I’ve got it down to either a custom built OZFlex or looking at the Daiwa saltist Hyper 962XHB, but not sure if this can handle the load over the 800metres. Thoughts?

Most land based game rods like Wilson Live Fibres are too short as length is key for me.

I use (and am very happy with) the Daiwa Jewel 15kg 9’6 as my drone spinning outfit but they don’t make an overhead.

Must be a two piece for car travel purpose.

Many thanks
John

Ok all you fishos and boaties that enjoy a day on the water with the radio pumping out hit tunes at max volume (b ecause there is only one volume to play rock and roll at and that is max right)

knock it off ok.

Latest research says you are contributing to the death of rock lobsters. Well that is what an article in the latest edition of the Mandurah mail informs us (see article bottom of page 50)

Give me strength here.

Chamber music only at a soft volume only please
