Just after some suggestions of charters leaving Freo, my buddy and I are wanting a half day out on the water for a general reef mission. Cheers ! 

Managed to get into some fish on the weekend. Scored the Marlin while trolling a turbo head skirt at 14knots, was an epic hookup. Also on same day got a double header of Rankin, was reeling my line in flat out and got slammed 10m off bottom, called it for a shark at first.

Last pic was what I got in 4 drops out from Tantas.

Did anyone see the clip on ch 7 news last night that showed a boat being circled by one very large great white the people in the boat said they thought it to be about 6 metres, now that is one very large fish 

I heard its going to be this week, but does anyone know what day?

also, if anyone knows what fads are missing, or not in their correct spot would be grouse!

I tried PGFC site and a bit of facey-googling, but not much info on which day.

who actually pulls them? RFW? PGFC? Fisheries? Dept of Transport?

cheers

 We’ve just got some of the new Hunt Tackle “Kackas” and “Squidees” in stock! Quite a few people have been asking about these as they look awesome and there has already been plenty great fish caught on them...

Kackas in 6inch and squidees in 4.5inch on the shelves now for $11.95!

Howdy,

A few mates and I are heading to Shelter Bay for a fishing trip for a week in June. First night there is Sunday 9th June and we'll be heading back on Sunday 16th June.

We have campsite Easter 2 booked, which can take a maximum of 12 people, but at this stage we only have 4 of us in 1 boat.

Although I have a 7.5m twin engine boat, we'd be very happy to have another group join us at our camp so we have 2 boats to convoy for safety.

Let me know if anyone is keen. We travel up in 2 cars...1 with boat and 1 with trailer. We leave on Saturday and stay overnight at the Useless Loop turnoff, before splitting with the boat going to Denham to motor over.

We've been a few times now, so have the process pretty much sussed. I can provide more details if you are interested.

Cheers

Belly

Enjoy 

 Evening all,

Chasing some info on shelter bay steep point.

I am heading up there next friday for 8 days.

With a 5.2m westerberg and 2 cars.

I am possibly considering to stay at denham the night and drive the boat accros the following morning. 

Anyone heard on track conditions?

Also any tips of fishing from the area?

Thanks in advance

Bryan 

I’m not To clued up on these sorts of things so please forgive my ignorance on such a matter, so here is my question, when shops close from what I have seen they hold a stock clearance auction, after the tackle shop Oceanside Tackle I think it was called closed last year did they hold a stock clearance auction or sale.

Just wondering as they had a huge amount of gear and I thought I may be able to get a bargain at an auction, I appreciate that is looking to get a bargain at someone else’s expense however that is the situation and not caused by any action of mine 

 quick question, is beach launching a 15ft dingy ok around Wedge Island. TIA

cant get pic to rotate sorry!

seems like a get a lot of crap reading at the top of my sounder .

this is sitting still yesty off two rocks.

bottom reading is ok.

got 2 balies and 1 Dhu 75cm off this spot.

opinion on ground would be good also 

as im reading broken flattish type coral bottom 

ive also been told that the tails coming off the bottom is a good idication of good ground aslo (as per how to read a sounder book) 

cheers 

 hi caught this off Two rocks yesty 40mtrs

have seen them before but unsure what they are ?

do they make good bait or not ?

 Went out with some southern boys tonight.got a 65 cm skip on a small big johns jig, the skipper got a similar one and we got a heap of smaller models a KG nice tailor for the missus herring and snook. Was a good night out.

Managed to get to Bali for the first time with the family even though I’d been on the operating table having my bicep tendon reattached just 9 days earlier and can’t put any load heavier than a glass of water on it so on our last day I asked a few locals if they could take my oldest boy out fishing inside the reef with my watching and they just weren’t keen unless we booked it for 4 hours and paid full price for two so my cousin suggests we visit the snapper ponds he’s been to.

Having issues deciding between seafarer 6m and 650f Haines signature both around 15 years old.

Main use fishing 15 mile offshore  

All all other things being equal can anyone help me decide? Cheers 

hey fishos,

im heading up north end of the month and am spending a week in shark bay whilst eventually getting to coral bay for another week. Taking my 4.6m runabout. Haven’t fished shark bay before Any advice on what side is better to fish and what weather conditions suit each side etc... any info would be great. Also is there many squid up there this time of year? Thanks heaps  

Has anyone had any luck up this way?. Girlfriend and her lady crew will be out from Sat arvo till Sunday morning (Ocean Reef is the drop off a pickup location) so i figured why not wet a line.

Dont fish NOR much but ill have a good 10+ hours to soak a bait and see whats what. 

At the end of Idyllic View Road there is Amberton Beach, and just north of that carpark i can see (on google maps) a little reef outcrop, could hold some surprises.

Just north/south of the Shorehaven grassy area from what i hear is okay for bread and butter species.

Or i could say bugger it and fish near Club Capricon....

Any advice or suggestions?

Cheers.

 hey guys, does anyone know the weight of the above boat, or where i migt be able to find this online.

i am wanting to buy a new car, & need to make sure it can tow the weight

thanks in advance

Today’s Sunday times has an article about that Burke of a politician tony burke re introdcing sanctuary which where thrown out as not creditable by the libs at the last federal election. After a review it was shown that the proposed sanctuary zones had no merit and where only proposed to keep the greens preferences essential for him to keep his seat I believe.

what a waist of space imo 

 Went looki g for salmon couldn't  find them but got a good bag of squid. This poor fishos had to put up with boaties fishing  right in front of them. For christ sake your got a boat,  go find your own.

Hi All

Heading over to Mackerel Islands in a couple of months for a week or so. will be suing the moorings they have set there for the week. Just wondering what set up folk use to secure your vessel to the mooring? Have read a couple of stories about boats coming loose and drifting off over there, so keen to here what the best set up is. I'll have a 6.7M Bar Crusher.

thanks all

Gday guys, looking at a profish by trailcraft, particularly over the 5M mark, struggling hard to find any info on them so anything at all or any experience with them would be real appreciated. Mainly going to be used for shallow water fiahing (casting) and some offshore stuff.
