Hey all just looking for some info about fishing offshore from Windy Harbour.

Not asking for co-ordinates,although i wont knock them back, just looking for some general area to try and any advice you think will be usefull.

Mike

Enjoy

 Taking the tinney down there very soon.....How is the Squidding, I am assuming their will be Herring. Gardies and im kinda hoping Skippy. Crabs and Whiting..........

hey guys the seajigger seemed abit flimsy when i had a play with it but i am kind of steering towards it because it would make fishing a bit more exciting. it takes little effort to load up. its rated 4-8kg and can throw 20-60 gram lures.

does anyone have this rod? will i be okay working 30-50 gram poppers? i will be throwing other lures but i am asking about poppers because i was told you need a stiffer rod to use poppers, or should i be fine with this? specifically for targetting tailor and salmon

cheers

Gday.......
Santa was good enough to shout The Mrs, kids and I three nights in Shark Bay next week.
We plan on taking the Commodore for a spin and not the 4x4 but are definitely going to throw a couple of rods in.
A mate of mine is probably going to bring his boat so there is a chance of getting onto some fish, but if not, can anyone give me some advice on fishing spots accessible in a 2x4.
What type of fish are we likely to come across and best rigs and baits etc....

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

an interesting article about white pointers

During this time he had also taken up shark-fishing licences. His shark boats would head to near the South Australian border to fish for school sharks, Mr Warner said.

"In the November, December, January period the school sharks come in and pup, just on the border and slightly over the border," he said.

"During that time the white pointers came in and pupped in the same area."

Mr Warner said the WA boats were not allowed to fish in SA waters but the SA boats caught vast numbers of great whites.

It was effectively a cull, and it happened for many years, when the abalone divers had no problems with the great whites. It all changed in the mid-1990s when the area over the border was declared a marine park and fishing was prohibited in SA waters.

Mr Warner said the numbers of great whites had been increasing ever since.

"When I hear people say the numbers aren't increasing, and we are only seeing more sharks because there's more people in the water, it is absolute rubbish," he said.

"We have always had six abalone divers here who never saw any pointers and now we have six divers who see pointers on a regular basis.

"We have a pilot who picks up abalone for us, he sees pointers on a regular basis from the air, tourists see them from the cliff tops, amateur fishermen see them from their dinghies, amateur divers have seen them.

"The numbers are mind- boggling compared to what they were in the early 90s and there's going to be more and more fatalities unless we cull them."

Spent a week fishing in Exmouth for my bosses sons bdays over December, they brought a couple of there mates and I came along for the ride to film and help out! Before the trip some herring & whiting where the biggest fish any of them had ever caught or seen. We suffered through some horrible weather but the boys toughed it out with the youngest of the group (14) landing multiple black marlin and some big spaniards, a trip I dont think they'll forget anytime soon!

Got stuck into the footage and put this clip together - make sure you watch in HD or it'll look crap.

Merry Xmas everyone, thanks for watching hope you enjoy!

Headed out late today to check the pots after a 5 day soak checked the brothers pots he had 5 in the first 6 in the other in the second then next was my son's pot first pot pulled had 17 males in it all keepers decided not to pull my pots as we already had to throw some back even though the deckie wasnt there he scored a couple as did the bloke next door needless to say the wife now wants me to buy another fridge/freezer as she is sick of opening the kitchen one to find crays looking back at her  

 Headed out of bunbury again with my kids and a mate to nab a few crays before Christmas and managed to get a few , and a couple good size ones amongst them .had to throw another VB stubby in there for all he VB knockers,all in all was a top day and be chasing a few fish tomorrow.

 Just finished my latest wrap. It still needs some packing and epoxy but for a first attempt at a Spider wrap I'm happy.

according to ch 7 a 60 odd year old bloke has died diving for crays out of point peron today , he is on his way to diving heaven now i would like to think

 Howdy,

Can anyone confirm the legalities regarding swapping crays for fish?

I quite enjoy diving and catching crays but normally give them to my Dickie/ neighbours, but quite enjoy fish, such as tuna and snapper, but with only a tinny, struggle with getting out far enough.

Is it ok to swap produce? Like this coming week (on Tuesday)?

 Heading out of Pt peron tomorrow morning 6am, yellow cc with brown canvas on top, say G'day if your around, going to head out for a squid for some fresh bait then out of the sound for the first time to ffb to try for something a little bigger. 

 Just found out that I don't have to work tomorrow...weather is looking good. ..Open to what we fish for. ....anyone interested?...leaving from Hillarys...0402484048

 Hey guys  I saw wondering if anyone could give me some advice on jigging ?? I'm new to it and never caught anything on a lure before.I have a selection of lures including soft plastics , metal jigs and trolling lures. I also have a jigging outfit wich consist of a shimano sradic  with 50 lb braid on it and an Alexander expert graphite 18k rod. So any advice on jiggin for demersals such as dhuies and  snapper like techniques and stuff would be great

 just moved to two rocks and have no idea where flat rock is can someone give me some direction please. Thanks guys

We've had a fair few phone calls and PM's re our Christmas Trading Hours.

We're Open every day except Christmas Day 25th (Wednesday)

A big THANKS to all Fishwrecked members that have supported Oceanside Tackle and Marine.

Found some gear this morning half way between freo and rot to so no doubt you are one pot down :-( 

happy for you to grab if anyone knows them?

fair length of rope so not sure how happened as too deep for prop cut?? 

Pm me if yours ant want back?

 wanting to put 6lb braid on my new td sol 2004 reel so could target the slightly bigger stuff,  flathead ect... But was hoping it would still be light enough for finesse work on bream whiting??? 

Cheers
