Gday fellow fisho's.... Im heading to Perth in Sept/Oct for a bit of RnR and definitely fishing as much as possible. I'll be staying in CARRAMAR for one week. Is there any good spots close by that I can go to and try out?? What sort of bait and tackle would be the best if theres any good spots around?? I usually fish the Bayswater rowing club but that's ages away from where im staying. Any help and advice from all you LEGENDS would be great Cheers Mateys

Hi all, Anyone know if the bait schools of hardie heads have turned up around the beaches at Exmouth yet.Heading up next week.

 What does everyone chase in winter? Originally from qld I have no idea what is a good fish to chase in winter over here. I'm positioned at secret harbour but willing to travel. Any suggestions?

 PB tailor I got tonight on my last cast went 82cm, he got full aerial 3 times, caught on 12lb gear

prety stoked, lost a similar one a few casts earlier too, took about 15 or 20

minutes to revive him enough to swim off, we'll worth the effort though

 My wife tells me fremantle fishing boat Harbour charters frequently appear on scoopon. Midweek charter around rottnest island for $99.

Thinking it might be a bit of fun if a few guys from work are interested.

Has anyone got anything good or bad to say about this charter company as I have previously never heard of them. 

Hi All

Just chasing anyones experience wih shimano beast master rods.

I am looking for a couple of 15-24kg rods to run 30 size shimano reels on with some 50lb mono purely for trolling when we go up north.

There is a good deal on the beast master 24kg roller tip rods at the moment and i can get 2 for $130.

Would these be a good option? I dont need anything to expensive for trolling rods as they dont get used heaps.

Cheers Jayce

 The ASI groyne/AMC is closed permanently due to the company (AME) next door now own the property apparently. This sux!!

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone out there can help me. I am chasing a Penn 5500ss spin reel for a buddy. He is taking his disabled son to exmouth for a few weeks of R&R & fishing. The reason it's a 5500ss is he has just received an electric motor for the new Penn 5500ssv but it does not fit. It was built for the 5500ss, the bolt pattern is different.If there is anyone out there in Perth that would care to part with their Penn 5500ss, it would be greatly appreciated. The trip is planned for next week 25/6/2014.

cheers & thanx very much

 has anyone fished there? i heard its good for landbased tuna, gts, spanians, grouper, queen fish ect.

Enjoy 

i'm sure some people feel like doing this sometimes

After enjoying a tiger fishing trip at Sidinda Lodge, you might want to stay a night or two at Bomani to encounter elephant before you head home.
I thought some of you might find this interesting. Here are a few pictures from the underground hide build,as well as a few of Elephant from the hide.

In the south eastern corner of Hwange National Park, at Stoffie's Pan, the hide is carefully camouflaged as a termite heap and buried under an ancient Mitswiri tree. Inside it has comfortable seating and even a flush toilet.
The photographic opportunities from it are phenomenal. Elephants can be photographed from toe level silhouetted against the sky at a distance of 8m. Such close proximity to Hwange's huge bulls is honestly breath-taking!

 just wanting to know what transducers use are running ? 

marko

hey guys heading up north with my girl in few weeks just trying to figure out where to go as we are fishing landbased only, we will be fishing 24/7 so what u all reckon

 Hi guys I'm looking at buying a new beach reel was looking at the stradic 6000 or even the 8000 fj what's your thoughs or does any one suggest a different reel would a saragosa be any good for beach fishing and off rocks

hi, after opinions on a reel for a gomoku pe1-3 (spinning). Thinking either stradic 5000 or sustain 5000 with probably around 20-30lb line. Both seem to have the same specs/weight etc except for the number of bearings. What are peoples thoughts or any other sugestions for this rod?

 Fished Sunday and Monday with On Strike charters out of exmouth.  Took home 5 good size spaniards over the two days.  The wind made things a bit challenging, but had dropped off by Tuesday when we were flying home.  We gave away a heap of fillets around the caravan park.

All up a great weekend.

 Just trying to find out what the likelihood of catching squid in Geraldton is? What time of year and where.

thanks

 In Darwin for a few days, any good land based spots, have car?

Few pointers would be great!

 Hey guys

Just ordered a whole bunch of Duel squid jigs and was wondering what people thought of them? Has anyone used them before and how did they go?

See attached Pictures.

Pertty much have every colour on it way.

Just returned from Shark Bay and thought I'd share with you all a pic of my 5 year old grandson, Jye, with his first ever pinky.

Fish went 66cm and 5.5 kg.

Of course he wasn't able to do it all himself and Pop did the pump while Jye did the wind.

We were fishing in the Easern Gulf so it had to be released which was a shame, as he loves his fish and wanted to take it home and eat it !

Cheers,

The Saint
