stolen boat

my mates boat was stolen from two rocks yesterday, it is a 5.5 metre centre console extreme plate ally barra boat, it is dark green with the name momentum on the side, if anyone has seen it can you report it to the police or message me on here. thanks 


Worth a crack?

 What are the odds of a few pinkys around this evening or tomorrow 10/6/14?

filleting knife storage tip

On a recent trip up to Gnaraloo one of the guys kept all his filleting knives in a pvc tube similar to a rod tube but a smaller version about 40cm long with a screw on cap he was able to keep 4 different filleting knives plus a cleaver and a steel in this thought this was a even better idea than the good old knife wraps plus only a few bucks to make 


ally painters

hi,just wondering if anybody knows any good marine painters? i can get the paint and primer.just need a good painter. cheers mark


Saltiga Z spools

 Looking at getting another spool for a 4000 saltiga Z, what options is there out there? No limits spools? Do saltiga 10 spools fit? Or will it just have to be a stock standard daiwa Z version?


Nor squid

 hey fellas.

Dragged the boat downto the sound over the weekend and managed plenty of squid and some kgw.

Is there any big sections of flats and weed banks that hold squid / kgw from the north ramps, it takes me a bit over an hour to get the boat to point peron, and usually a little longer on the way home with traffic, but Hillarys is 20mins each way. 


Another great day

 Drew sent me this pic on another great day I missed!


A few nice bream

  went fishing with kingfisha1 to try catch some bream. Used nice and light 4lb braid and 6lb mono, good fun to catch. Ended up catching about 15 including 2 oversize ones that were 26cm and 31cm. All fish were released

Sound snapper?

 Hey all,

 

First post, please be kind! ;-)

I'm heading out to the cockburn sound tomorrow looking to get some decent size pink snapper. I've managed to convince the misses to be Anchor gal for the evening as my usual fishing buddies are back up the mines this weekend. 

 

I've promised her a feed of nice big snapper in return so just wanted to make sure that I'm heading in the right direction. Current plan is for an overnight stay at the top end of Garden Island with a bit of late night fishing on 3 fathom bank and then up early to catch the sun up bite in the same area. 

Ive rigged up running sinker rigs with fluro and 40lb  fluoro leader (smelled circle hooks). Planning to burley up like mad and bait up with squid and mullies. 

Does this sound like the right plan? Not after anyone's secret spots or killer rigs. Just want to know that I'm not wasting my time and going to waste all my brownie points!

 

cheers!


soft plastics

 were do you guys that fish plastics buy yours from, seems every time i go to my nearest tackle shop they have no stock left or its due in monday. not real keen on going to bcf either

 

online or north perth preffered

 

cheers in advance


Lowrance 7HDI transducer update

Hi people, as in my previous post, Here ,
I have an update as to what has happened.
I did some mods and went to test it today and it worked perfectly, I even get readings up to 25Knts, it doesn't even go bezerk when in reverse.
Just need to do some final settings, but they are working quite well at the moment
I would just like to say thanks to all who gave some advice.
I did the following:
- Moved the tranny to the left, about 16cm and away from any chines
- Moved the tranny wire away from any electrical wire to avoid interference
- Cleaned the tranny face, but didn't put dish wash liquid on it
- Tilted the tranny forward
- put the power wire directly to the battery
- did a software update
I'm not too sure what sorted it out, but I have a feeling it might be the position of the tranny.

Thanks again guys

Scalies as live bait

 Hey guys what noteable catches have you made using scalies as live bait? How long do the last in 30-40m of water and where do you place your hook to keep them live.

Are there any areas they frequent near the Fremantle boat ramp?

 

Cheers Old Salt


1.20m of fun

shimano baitrunner 8000D, shimano aqua tip 5-6kg rod, finns 30lb braid, 60lb black magic leader. 43m of water just after i helped two mates netting dhuies, baged out in 15min of hitting our spot. 


Transducer advice

 Hi guys, looking for advice in what to do next, higher, lower, angle, have fitted tm260 transom when out yesterday got a great pic up to 10-12 knots then start to lose picture/bottom, looked like it was sitting in clean water, anyone had similar problem?

cheers jay 


Shimano Nano PX V G Loomis NRX

Anyone tried the new Shimano Naono PX?

The greatest rod you can get your hands on or so the promo goes.

Wonder how it stacks up against the G Loomis NRX rods rated as the best period.

Both rods are Shimano made, so I wonder how good they are side by side.

What rod manufacturer will next claim to be the best ever?

Or do you think that it is all about marketing taking us to new heights

by clever use of words?

Any one tried the Nano PX, please let us know.

Cheers


diesel engine mechanic

 I'm desperate to find an honest experienced cummins marine diesel mechanic anywhere in Perth.  No particular problem just need someone to guide me, considering rebuilding with new long blocks from the USA. 


Exmouth, Ideal Months & Prefered Charters

 Hey Guys,

I'm looking at organising a holiday to exmouth and would like to get everyones advice on the best time of year for reef fishing and best charter options. 

I'm very much into soft plastics - who would be best to accommodate this? Also don't mind trolling for pelagics.

Is there better time of year for weather?

Who are the guys charter guys that consistently put you on the fish?

What length of charter ie 2-7 days do you recommend? What is ball park cost of your suggestions.

What boats are the most liveable for the other half as I may have to take the anchor with me.

Accommodation suggestions for the mainland would also be helpful.

Are there many good land based spots to go to while not on the boat?

Thanks

 BS.

Fishing a Berley Trail

Hey all,

I'm very new to boat fishing, and after some advice after going out in Cockburn sound last week and not catching a thing.

What is the technique for fishing a berley trail?  In my head I have it pictured that i'd have to use about 5 litres of berley, and drop out a scoop every 20 metres or so of drifting, and then re drift that area over again to take advantage of the berley..

 

is this correct and can anyone offer any advice for this?  

 

Is there a different berley technique you would use for king george etc, as oppsoed to snapper/dhueys?

 


Fishing this weekend

Based on the weather, which do you guys reckon  is better, boat fishing late Saturday arvo/evening or Sunday morning?
