Looking bloody good over the next two days, Plan to head out Monday arvo and fish until after dark, leave the boat hooked on and head out early tuesday morning. Looks a cracker....

 I was out behind mewstone this morning, on the way back in to Fremantle I got smashed it was very unpleasant can someone help a rookie out and tell me why, was it the wind heading directly into the swell, I really don't want to get caught in that again. Cheers 

 If you could fish anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Bucket list time.

 Hi Forum

I'm heading off to Kalbarri with a 6.3m boat in October. I have been up there with a tinny before and know about the dangers of the river mouth. I have read some old forums about offshore fishing there and was looking for some more info if possible. Hoping to fish for both demersals and pelagics weather permitting.

 anyone been up to ledge lately that can tell me what the weed on the beach is like and whether I can launch my boat off it yet?

cheers

 Who's it going to be? I'm saying Mayweather in the seventh round.

 Short notice.

Going early from Hillarys (6.30am). I've got bait and berley just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone else wants to come along.

7m diesel inboard. Prefer non smoker.

Probably staying mostly inshore, 3 mile, hale rd etc. doing some testing of a new anchor and berley bucket so a bit of moving around to try stuff.

Message me here before 10pm tonight.

Cheers, Michael.

A mate has got an HDS 12 gen 3 and he bought a B175m 1 Kw chirp transducer. As the HDS only puts out 500 watts should he have just got a 600 watt transducer or will the 1 KW outperform the smaller one ?

 A: What lure is that you hv in your tacklebox mate?

 B: I've got a dickhead lure

 A: You joking

 B: No I'm not.(Opens tacklebox)

 A: WTF!!!!

  27g

 Dives to 3 metres

Anyone? 

Does anyone have any news or updates on our elusive "Travelling Lure".
It's been a while since anything was posted, so I was wondering if there was any news or pics on how much destruction it was doing.

Enjoy

 Anyone know of any travelling fishing FB pages or webb app/pages? about to go on a lap around auzzie and would be real handy to be able to find people that are looking for deckies or people to fish with along the way.

I see a new series of Penn Internationals are about to be released, the new Penn International VI.

They look good however I must confess to being a Shimano fan.  

Was in Southlands yesterday and wandered past the so called fresh fish shop located in the centre. (Doesn't smell too fresh to me!)

Sitting there on ice was, astoundingly, a locally caught Black Bream......all 2.1kg of it ........for sale at $45.  Whilst I am not an ardent bream fisho I was stunned to see such a majestic fish.  I've caught them to a smudge under that size but have always considered the 2kg mark to be truly a specimen and have always carefully returned such fish as prime breeding stock to the waters from which they came and could not believe a pro would have netted and not returned such a fish.

How old would a fish of this size be, over 50 years surely? 

Heading down to Myalup on the weekend for my boy's Karate camp and it would be remiss of me not to pack a rod for a cheeky flick. I'm just going to head down with some poppers and richter plugs and have a flick so can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't a 4WD.

I seem to remember from when we used to stay there as kids that Myalup is pretty beachy so is it worth heading a little bit further south to Binningup?

Cheers JF

 Hi guys

Have fished ammo jetty plenty of times during the day but never at night

Was doing some research and found lots of other old forums on how unsafe it is at night

Between car breakins and holdups at knife point for fishing gear the spot isnt sounding so great for a night fish

Was wondering if anyone has any more recent opinions or experiences in regards to the spots safety and just the general fishing quality

Thanks

 Hi Fellas,

Want to get an ali teetop done for my cc. Anyone bought a premade one off the web and know the cost for a decent sized one for a 6m boat?

Also anyone know the cost / time an ali one would take to get fabbed up and rough cost, without the fabric?

Cheers

Motor ran rough on the weekend and found the fuel fitler full of water, have cleaned all the lines filters etc and replaced the main fuel filter, looking for recommended silver bullet/tablet to get rid of any water in the tank, have 2 x 100 litre tanks almost full and any advice would be appreciated as trying to avoid draining the tanks.

Cheers

Hi,

This new video shows how the offshore wind forecast can be up to twice as strong as it is at the shoreline.  Interesting watch for any fisho and the reason why the checking the forecast at the shore/boat ramp is not a good idea and the reason people get caught out sometimes.   You should be checking the wind forecast offshore where you intend on fishing.

 I have a calcutta 400B that has survived many years, but I think the time has come for it to enter retirement.

I am going to replace this, but need to work out what reel to use. While the calcutta performed well, the slow retrieval speed was a pain in the ass at times, especially when in 40m of water.

What it will be used for:

• 6-10kg braid
• baitcaster (used occasionally to flick lures around)
• jigging (20-50m)
• Ligh bottom bouncing (KGW etc)

It spends most of its time on a demon blood, PE2-4, jig overhead 90-280g.

I know its a big ask, but any recommendation?

 Got another surprise today in 8m of water with a 58cm dhu bang eating my "insurance policy"(octo jig) and two pinks around 80cm while squidding. First time I've chucked the jig out in that depth and won't be the last. How did everyone else do today?

 HI guys, looking for recommendations for a charter out of Jurien Bay or Cervantes. Who's the best up around there?

 Hi Adam 

After numerous emails to sort out my log in problems on my laptop and getting blocked from this site for no aparent reason fuck it I can't be bothered any more  . Using my phone sucks so until you can sort this shit out that's all from me.

cheers Rob

 Have been invited up to Broome in 2 weeks,sounds like tinny or 4 wheel drive to beach planned.Drinking beer and talking shit probably a sure thing but i already excel in these two pastimes,what i am enquiring about is what type of fishing gear to take for fishing from beach or tinny in creeks.Many thanks in advance for any help given.

 Got some water in my sounder the other day and it decided to shit it self so its off for repair but now we are getting some better weather i dont really wanna miss out i was thinking of just using the navionics app on my phone to get me out to a few spots around 3 mile anybody relied purely on this app before of so has it worked ?? 

 hey was just wondering if anyone has had or been in a finn poly boat looking at gettin one for a first boat to get into boating they look like there stable and good for the price thaughts?

Thinking about heading up to Durien Leeman tomorrow night for a Monday fish at Leeman. I know it's as long way but I don't mind a drive for a chance to get some good fish and get away for a mission.

I've looked at the search function on here but there is no recent information. Mostly a couple of years old..

I'm looking for info on the boat ramp. Is it a good one? The search function shows merntions of an upgrade so I'm thinking we shouldf be good to go.

Any other tips or pointers or current info on safe boating in and out and places to start looking for fish would be great. Looks like good weather on the way so not afraid to drive the boat out deep if necessary. I've only ever landed one Dhu on my boat and it wasn't huge. It would be great to get a couple of nice dhues between me and my mate...

I've been putting of paying to update my Navionics+ card and been getting reminders from Navionics but last week they perked my interest with an offer of 50% off. Just got me a new Platinum+ card (Beagle Bay to Cape Freycinet) delivered for $197. Bloody bargain. I'll keep my old card in case I head down to Augusta etc.

I don't know if it will work for anyone else but here's the link in any case and you have to use IE for the discount to work for some reason.

 Gday all,

Was chatting with a mate the other day and we got talking about anodes.......

I had a look at my Trailcraft to see if I could find one and couldn't ,except for the anodes on the outboard.

Am i looking in the wrong place, do they not come standard with anodes, or do the outboard ones coverthe boat?........

Whats everones thoughts on anodes.........I understand what they do , but really dont know much else about them.......

A lesson and advice about them would be appreciated. ......

Cheers
