im currently chasing a new freshwater reel, i have a shimano stradic 2500 at the moment, can any one tell me what the sustains are like? ill be using it for trout fishing and bream fishing aswell.

any info would b greatly appreciated. 

 Wer going to leave perth Sunday the 23rd to fortescue river wait for the tide as you need about 2.5m to launch! Have 3-4 nights at the monties then be home for the weekend. Obviously weather pending! 

Any one going to be over there or want to bring a boat along? Iv done about 10 trips from Karratha when I was living there in my old 28' regent but taking my 7.1 jackman this time. Iv got heaps of marks (not that you need them) and know a few good spots to camp! 

A mate of mine launched a 8m leisure cat at fortescue a few months ago so no problems there and it's about a 45nm run to where we camp. 5-10 and your in red heaven ;)

ah some crabs from yesterday

 Hi All, 

Big fan of the site. Been reading for a while and thought it's about time I contributed some reports. 

Have been itching to get out but the weather hasn't played ball for the past month. 

Big of background, fish mainly out of busso and gracetown, have a 5.3m Searider (great boat) where on the right day gets me anywhere I want to go. 

Few photos starting last mid last year in the bay, through to some trips out of gracetown around the Chrissy break. The big pink came up the last weekend prior to the ban. 

Cheers 

Ben

Hi all,The wife and I are traveling back to Exmouth in July for three months R&R from Sydney.

Last year we saw pitures of the damage the storms caused to the sand washed out of the creek, to the boat ramp, at Tantabddie. Can anyone bring us up to speed as to the condition now. We saw photo's of one lost LC at the end of the ramp mid last year.

All help appreciated, 

price is optional but medium ranges is better

Hi All,

In yesterday's paper there was a photo of a young fella holding up an impressive Dhu fish. On the deck of the boat there were numerous other fish as well as what looks like 3 more dhu's.

I thought the boat limit for Dhu's was 2 with one per license holder, is that the case or have I missed something?

The intention of this post isn't sling sh-t at anyone, instead just trying to understand the rules.

Thanks

 Hi all I have a fishing trip planned with 2 mates at the start of April where we plan to spend week in kalbarri and a week in shark Bay. None of us are anywhere near experienced fisherman and we have been warned to be very careful when launching in kalbarri. Can anyone give us some tips on launching at kalbarri and the risks involved. Also any good suggestions for fishing each area would be appreciated?

 It's Friday night, the Winter Olympics are on and what are they playing??? Men's figure skating! Not impressed, surely there is something better they could put on, or are they just takin the piss.

If youre not fishing you might aswell be perving.

Crap weather all weekend again.

Thought you guys may like this site.

From Fisheries:

Broome’s famed Roebuck Bay is set to become a jewel in the crown for recreational fishing in the Kimberley, with a decision to remove commercial gillnetting by the end of the current fishing year.

Department of Fisheries Deputy Director General Heather Brayford said the commercial gillnet fishing licences operating in Roebuck Bay had been put up for sale and the State Government had taken the opportunity to purchase them.  

“This move will boost the potential barramundi stocks available for fishers in the area and ensure a quality local fishing experience for threadfin salmon in the bay,” Ms Brayford said.

“Importantly, local supplies of fresh fish will still be available in Broome with stocks sourced from other areas off the coast, where other licensees of the Kimberley Gillnet and Barramundi Managed Fishery will continue to operate.”

Ms Brayford said the decision was likely to be well received by local fishers and was supported by the local Yawuru people, Recfishwest and the Broome Fishing Club.

“Roebuck Bay Marine Park is one of five marine parks the State Government has committed to as part of the Kimberley Science and Conservation Strategy,” she said.

“Being on Broome’s doorstep, Roebuck Bay is extremely important to the local community, and with commercial gillnetting removed, there is great confidence locally that tourism will benefit as the word spreads. 

“Long term, I also expect fishing charter operators in the area to attract more customers, to enjoy the fishing experience close to Broome.”
