Felt kind of sorry for this bloke, wasnt a whole lot anyone could do to help unfortunately

 Went out a couple weeks ago to the D9 (first time) and come across this on my sounder... Went over it a couple of times and showed up every time! I was thinking sediment from the bottom? Dropped a line to check but caught nothing, moved 200m away & cleaned up with skippy... I'm still learning how to read a colour sounder so any input would be great. It's lowance hdi7 on manual mode... Colour line set to 68% & gain set to 75% give or take a couple of points... Any ideas?

Ok, both can not be right.

WA has size limits and the NT dont apart from Barra and crabs.

most people believe that you can pull up a reef fish from 20m and release it with out harm.

Have a read and keep an open mind!

hi everyone, I just got some daiwa reel greaser to hopefully increase the performance of my reels after been accidentally dropped in salt water a couple times, but my feels are shimano. Is that alright?

i did try it on my little Sedona 1000FD and put it on the main shaft but it doesn't seem as smooth as it is meant to be, actually it locks up a little bit. Will this eventually stop?

 A queston for all you sounder guru's out there. 

I recently installed a transommount 1kw Airmar with a 587 furuno amd am having heaps of surface clutter...

close to a fourth of the screen is red at the top.

bottom lock and the picture is fine.

Surface clutter doesnt improve with gaon settings at all.

Have I installed the transducer incorrectly?

Or is this just a setting I dont know about?

Thanks

Rob

Hey guys, I've always strickly been a salty so do I need a Freshwater licence to catch Redfin Perch?

Only ask as I know you aren't suppost to release them as they are/were considererd a pest.

Happy to get a licence, no big deal. Was just wondering??...

Need a cheap spare tire and rim 155R13 five stud, got one from here but too big so need to sell as well.
Anywhere I can get one cheap around Mandurah area.

 Been out a trip a two !!ll waiting for the squid to fire up? Well today they did water was quite clear so I went for some thin Fluro carbon and fished some darker jigs !! Seemed to do the trick !! Got out at 10 and ended up heading back to Mindarie marina on 12.30am !! Bit tricky with the wind changing direction every half hour !! But manage to stay on the black grass long enough before a move !! Anyway guys get out there while there firing I'll be stashing mine for the storms to hit for the pinks and a drop out wide !! Cheers wreckers !! Pirate !!

 Heading up for 5 nights next week, does anyone know if there are any mackies or tuna about? Or muddies in the river? 

if you were to catch a fish that is just oversize, if you take a photo on a brag mat with date and time, then later on fisheries says its undersize, you then show them the photo, would they listen to reason, need to dock it for identity,interesting to know the law or peoples opinions

 Heading to Exmouth tomorrow just wondering if anyone can give us an update on the roads since the cyclone? Is everything open??

cheers

Headed out from O.R at gentlemans hrs. No spots but had an idea (somewhat misguided plan, based on previous outings) of ground to cover. Thought the 90's would be a good place to start.

Found this x several on the 587 with a 1kw 'ducer on 50htz with some custom settings:

While looking at this:

And landed a couple of these - including one on the first drop within seconds:

Plus Nanny's and blackarse to 31cm.

Almanac said stay home and drink beer..... I still drank beer, but the view was so much better out there, from a 5.8m Ally....!!

Due to redundancy, I have been lucky enough to fish the sound on Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday session was launching at 10:00 and doing a full loop to the south, starting down the eastern shore looking for Salmon. After a cople of hours, I spotted some birds working and paid the price for not being ready with two othe boats appearing and the fish going deep. Throughout the next few hours the birds and fish came and wen with me landing 4 healthy salmon around the moored ships in the middle of the sound.

the ultimate goal of the day was to catch one on a Ben 10, 3ft rod, with a 2kg reel. I cheated by packing it with 15lb line. After hooking and losing two the week before, I was adamant that I was going to land one this time. After getting one to the boat, I reached down to grab its tail and in the process it spat the hooks and swam off....

After catching a couple more with my good gear, the school was going off enough to have another crack with the little gear so I cast in and within a moment it was on. The fish was was off like Floyd Mayweathe though after 50 minutes the fish was landed, photos taken, and released.  4 fish caught and released.

Fridays ventures started at 9:00 with a trip towards the accomodation at Garden Island with my folks for some squid. After an hour so, we had four onboard and made the most of the glassy conditions and headed through the coat hanger. I had never circumnavigated Garden Island and with minimal swell and stuff all breeze, it was the ideal day. 

Half way along the back of the island, we stopped in one of the bay's for a feed and a herring fish. The herring were extremely hard to find though once we did find them, we got a feed fairly quickly, and even spotted a small school of Salmon swim through though couldn't find them after we pulled the anchor.

After a feed, we proceeded around the north of the island back into the sound and headed back to the anchored ships hoping that the birds had some secrets to share but not to be.

We the undersigned plead with the site Admin to fix the website, send an IT geek around, or sacrifice a goat, but please enable Friday Funnies.  Friday Funnies on fishwrecked is the only amusement on the web, that my employer has not yet blocked.

 thinking of going out tomorrow for salmon. if the salmon dont play game want to try for some snapper in the sound. do u catch any snapper in the day and if so where abouts? is it any good inbetween carnac and garden?

Heading out tomorrow morning Saturday to chase some salmon in the sound question is are they still hanging in there and rough areas last seen thanks.

left hillarys at sparrows with Gareth and Chris,first lump everything under size, went further out, dead as used heaps of burly, thought we'd do a drift [drift???] saw a bit of ground down went the pick, 15 mins later nearly a metre of fat sharkie, went like a scalded cat, next a nice pinkie for Gareth, a few deep water release's an 50cm dhuie, I remembered petermac so back it went, then a nice pinkie for Chris afew more bust offs and home. water at stragglers 21, water at rotto 23 degrees,boys were wrapped with their first pinkies both 74 cm, wont load photos,f....it!

Theres been a huge school in capodorlando wharf fremantle for the last few hours. Anyone whos missed them so far i would recommend getting down there.

As title suggests, driving from Broome to Perth in about 4 weeks, mostly camping.* Will be stopping at Karratha for a night or two, then Northhampton and straight home from there. *

Would just like to hear anyuggestions of spots between these destinations to camp and/or wet a line or spear.

Probably not any major detours from the main tho, i.e. wont be driving into Exmouth. Cheers

Heading up to Gnaraloo in a couple of weeks with a 5m tub. Has anyone been that way recently? What's the track like?

Took my Daughter out for a fish for the first time,She caught a nice Blackarse were also caught 2 Baldies and to top it off i caught a 14 kg Dhuie.

Went out today pretty Quiet, got a Nice Baldie and heap's off Scorpion fish.

Worst part came back to Ocean reef ramp to wash the boat and someone has decided to clean there fish there and Bl--dy stink.

The funny part was all wrasse and skippy maybe 4" long.

If ya can't use the place or the bins.Don't need to say anymore ya should know.

 I know plenty on the forums about the ramp but is there fees linked to this ramp now or has this been canned?

this weekend,every man and his dog will be out there[gillyt] think I'll go tomorrow

Does anyone know if the old fishermans shack is still at Withnell Point Dirk Hartog, havent been over there for a couple of seasons and heard it may have been removed? Heading that way for a trip in a couple of weeks.

Any info appreciated.
