Just after some info from the guys in the know.

What sort of jig weights are you using for shallow water sambos (35-50m)? Obviously fishing in good conditions without a howling breeze.

 well my school finishes early (Which I think is awesome) in 2 weeks, and I will have a lot of spare time (I really mean a lot). So I'm thinking of going for some bream and flathead on lures, perfecting my technique. I have decided that the next lure I'm getting is definately the cranky crab. I find you can't beat the natural crabs under rocks for bait, getting a way bigger average size bream, I think it's only a matter of time before I start getting close to that 40cm bream using this bait. Anyway I am not sure what colour crab I should get but I'm only getting one because I want to get a few lures.

i have already got an army of soft plastics so I don't need to stock up on them I don't think.

i have 2 atomic hardz breamshads which are 40mm that are clear with a re eye, should they work? I might get an SX-40.

any other lures to add to my collection?

 Hey Guys

Thinking of heading out off mindarie tomorrow morning for a troll behind 3 mile

Whats the weed situation like?

And Water temperature?

Would it be worth it?

Cheers

Im sure this might have been covered in the past.

I dont like oily fish other than in a tin, and once was offered what turned out to be a Gem fish. And I almost spewed. Never again for me, even though some would rate them.

Hi,

Anybody have any good websites for water temperatures in WA?

I've looked at a few websites but haven't found anything worth subscribing to. People always talk about water temperatures in Rotto, but I can't find anything that's down to that level of detail, let alone a website that shows warm currents.

Help please??

Cheers

Hey guys.  I'm just wondering where I can buy some tuna heads/frames in the metro area.

Cheers in advance 

this might sound like a dumb question but can you use a baitcaster rod like the abu veritas  6'6 vrc66-6 12 - 20lb  for bottom bouncing/jigging.

i was thinking of just putting it in the rod holder with either a plastic or metal jig. whats the main difference apart from the longer butt and obviously higher line class from this model and the light jig model which i think was pe3 . just after a bit of a cheapy rod that i can just put over the side, stick in rod holder and forget about it. seen the casting model for $50 on a website plus postage and i think the light jig was around $160.

 Don't ask me how I managed it, but last weekend while wrestling a jumbo out of a cave, he's managed to latch onto my hand and sink his "teeth" in. Bastard wouldn't let go so I've shot to the surface and he's relaxed his grip enough to let me pull my hand from my glove. The boys on the boat thought it was piss funny and I was left with two puncture marks a bit like a snake bite and a bit of blood. Problem is now, a week on, those 2 punctures have turned into one festy pitted sore the size of a ten cent piece with no sign of healing up. ( been covering it with betadine all week). I was wondering if they have some type of bacteria in them that's going to turn me into a leper

Well its good to see fisheries are cracking down on pot theft ( Well at least trying), They were at two rock today checking everyone. Whilst we were there they a couple of boats were in a bit of trouble to say the least with gear on board that wasn't theirs and guys without licences. I would have to say this season has been trouble free so far for us with no pots "Missing" or being pulled. Makes for a pleasant change.

Hey Guys,

I am fortunate to be heading down from Karratha to Port Gregory in a couple weeks.

I have used the search function, and read a lot about the place, it sounds great.

My main query is:  What species will be on the chew in December? I have never fished this region, and have a limit to how much gear I can take....

Still need to tick whiting on popper off my bucket list... any chance?  Mulloway this time of year?  Tailor?

Mate will be there with his tinny, if the weather is ok :)   Is this region part of the demersal ban?

thanks

heading down windy harbour in a couple of weeks to test the new furuno 295 going to head out to 350-400m has anyone done this down there and how did u go

 Hi all

Have sold my Voyager LTD for a deposit to buy a house. Couldn't be without a boat so I've bought a 12ft dinghy with a 15hp outboard.

Would like ideas for customising the dinghy to make it "fishing friendly".

Advice and especially pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 I bagged out freediving for my bag in under 1 hour. Jumbo went 2kgs.

All in really close rockingham way. 

2 divers total catch today. Plenty of soft shell and double shells today. 

 Hi there to all 

Been getting heaps of crays in my pots lately only problem 80% are female is that normal for this time of the year or should I move them

 HI guys as I am relativly new to boating could I get general opinions on suitable weather (wave heigt wind speed) I have a 4.6 center console generally fish in sound & just past the islands. Is it better to have low wind ie under 10 knots with larger waves or can higher winds with low waves. Reason I ask is I can usually only fish Sunday mornings

5 am -12 and have to travel from hills so I rely on weather reports to take the punt. Any info greatly appreciated.

The WA Fish Foundation have been responsible for many fish stocking projects, the Barramundi in Lake Kununurra being one of them. I know a lot of fingerlings went into this water three years ago but havent heard any reports of how they are doing. Has anybody fished there to know if its been successful??

The next project for WAFF is the stocking of Wellington Dam which if suitable species are stocked could create a fantastic fishery within easy reach of the majority of anglers in the state, Lake Kununurra is a bit to far away for a weekend fishing trip. Now is the chance to voice your opinions on what you would like to see happen with this water. You can find the online survey here: http://waff.com.au/projects/wellington-dam-community-consultation-questionnaire.html

Lets hope some common sense will prevail and we can at last get some Australian species suitable to our climate stocked into one of our water ways.

Apologies if already posted, but thought it worth letting FW'ers know.

Tomorrow (Saturday 15th Nov) the Cockburn Power Boat Association is holding an open day from 12pm.

If you have any interest in joining the club it's well worth a look and I believe there are special offers for new members as well.

Great facilities and good security.  Details on their website: www.cockburnpowerboats.com.au

Cheers.

 hi guys, my dad said that when he was younger him and his brothers used to go to a salt water lake in serpintine and go scopping for crabs. they used to get alot. is there a lake there? is there any info about it? also were the crabs blue swimmer crabs? thanks

 Hey guys, anyone have any ideas on the new shimano Saragossa.

Clever idea.

Gday All

With more people getting into this now i was just wondering what setups everyone are using? Rod/Reel/Line.

Im looking to buy a new combo for it so would help with narrowing down the options.

I was using a mates Nitro Vapor 1-3kg with a 2004 luvias the other day and that was nice to use.

I also have a Diawa Aird 1-3kg with a 3000Ci4 stradic wich didnt work the small lures so well. Im guessing thats because of the reel and 15lb line i had on it.

Cheers Jayce

Enjoy

Hi fishos.
We have put together a special package including fishing and game viewing from 3 different lodges. Its a 9 night safari but you only pay for 7.
http://www.zambezisafaris.net/#!specials-2015/c1mbi

Please have a look at our fishing info page http://www.zambezisafaris.net/#!fishing-info/c1iog
to see which species you can chase depending on the time of year. You could target tiger in summer or bream up to 3kgs in winter!
This tour offers you fishing as well as experiencing some of Africa's big game like elephant, Hippo and lion, in the wild, all within 9 nights.

If you are considering a trip to Zimbabwe please remember to book your flights as early as possible, 6 months + in advance makes a huge difference to the price of flights.
Flight route is Perth - Johannesburg - Victoria Falls.

Below is a pic of a Nembwe bream serranochromis robustus, caught at Zambezi Sands.

 Hey guys has anyone on here used or have a raymarine e7d combo? Looking at getting one for the new boat but what some feed back first 

cheers 

hey guys just after alil help from the guys catching whiting in the swan Im. Not asking for spots or anything but I'm try to get in to it and we'll have had no luck have tryed the flats at point Walter behind the raffles and also the flats out the front of leweiun barracks but can't seem to land any are the whiting in that them areas I'm sure I have seen them but then they could be mullet I've try using a few different lures the burley popper small halco roosters and the zipbait popper and lil divers like ecogear and atomic hardz divers catch flathead and bream but no whiting and help for be a great help or even a no there arnt whiting in them areas lol thanks guys 

 Looking for crew who are interested in Chasing the elusive metro marlin and other pelagic fish. We will also be deep dropping when the ban is over.  We caught 3 marlin last summer. Pm me your number if interested. 

hi everyone, I'm probably heading down to woodies point jetty soon and will put have a mullet fillet out on a 6/0 occo hook for maybe a ray or a gummy at the most, I'm not looking for 3m Sharks if ur wondering. But the main reason I'm posting is how has the jetty been going for herring and whiting and the rest of the bread and butter species? I'm going to look for a feed and will be there most of the day so hopefully I come home with dinner which is what mum dreams of me doing . She says fish is way too expensive from the shops so if I catch fresh fish that tastes better, she might give me $10 which I think is a bargain lol. But I'm willing to do it for free because that's what family do.

so any reports on whiting and herring would be awesome

 Looking into buying a temple reef x12 jig rod for my nz trip and also looking at buying the matching popper rod has anyone had any experience with these rods
