Gday guys, wanna say hello to all members.

I found fishwrecked.com whilst surfing around in the web, and i´m very impressed of your amasing pic´s, so i logged in. I live in the alps (bavaria) and our fishing is totaly different to yours - only freshwater and mostly flyfishing. In my country there is no fishing allowed until 15. April so i daily browse your pics to make me hot, i will post some pics of our species to show you what we catch in the alps.

Cheers

Andi

Exmouth hire

Hi guys,

 

Been lurking around here for a little while. Looking to head up to Exmouth around the 19-28 March and trying to figure out if I can hire a dinghy from Bluewater and some sort of 4wd to tow it. Given many of you appear to have extensive Exmouth experience, would anyone have any experiences with hiring a 4wd from the many car hire places around the place?

 

Cheers

Vincent

Gday all,

Thought I would say hello and thank you! - Followed a lot of advice I read on here and it has paid off big time!

Its amazing how using the right gear and technique can make a huge difference in your catch.

Always enjoyed fishing growing up but never had any luck, mainly due to the fact I was using wrong line, hooks, rigs, bait and technique!

After picking up some quality gear and following advice, I have been out on the swan catching heaps of Bream on a friends runabout.

Using 10lb braid main line and 12lb mono trace to a No. 2 baitholder with a whole river prawn has been working very well - biggest Bream was 1.2kg (pics up tomorrow). Been catching them from about 5am - 7am close to the Maylands boat launch in the snags - not another fisherman to be seen!

So the bug has bitten and the bank account depleted, Im now trying to convince the wifey that I need a runabout.

Until then Im boat-less and will probably be heading down to Hillarys or other NOR spots to chase something else - keen to catch up with any other members heading out too.

Cheers,

Reece

In close getting fished out?

We fished saturday the 1st of march, around the north mindarie - tworocks area in 35-45m, and had a pretty poor day.

Visited atleast 25 spots and I counted 3 that actually had fish on them, we have caught fish from these spots before (about 3 months ago), but yesterday very little.

Spots that produced were out quite a bit further.

how many people are fishing these spots? as we spotted 2 charters, and quite a lot of other boats.

THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD

THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD ....

HOPE THIS MAKES YOU SMILE


THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD

Well, it's shit . that's right, shit! Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.

You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell
shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit.

Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola.


There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits. There is bull shit, horse shit, and chicken shit.

You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.

Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty.

Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit.

You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit.

You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle.

Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language.

And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else!!

You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you don't give a shit!

Well, Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to
know that I do give a shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head...........

Well, Shit Happens!!!

Okuma Aquios AQ-30

I received one of these reels last night as a giveaway with a subscription to a certain fishing magazine. They look pretty good as a bream/whiting reel or for small lures and soft plastics.
Five ball bearings, pretty smooth. Life time warranty.
Has anyone tried one out?
They don't even appear on the Okuma sites. Only Aquious mentioned on those sites are rods.
Also interested in knowing what they are worth?

All the best, Colin Hay


Sunglasses preference's

Well since the thread was started on the low light sunglass's thought I would start a thread on what brand glass's you prefer to wear.Some guys that work up north prefer their Eyres which are supplied by the mining company's which are good for work and play each person has their own preference could even be the Big W specials.

For me I prefer and wear
Casual
Mako Barra blue lense
Oakley thumps and Oakley jacket grey lense
Formal
Ray Ban Aviators 50 black smoke lense
