Undersize Back Bream
Submitted by Stewart on Mon, 2013-08-05 21:51I had really good fishing in the Swan river on Sunday with some sizeable Black Bream (all returned), unfortunetly the day was kind of ruined by witnessing at least 30+ undersize Bream being taken by the usual fucktards with their plastic bags. If I had the fisheries number on me I would have contacted them but didn't have the number. Sent them an email last night just waiting on a return mail

Salt away
Submitted by Shane O on Mon, 2013-08-05 21:02Does anyone use this?
Is fresh water enough to keep salt away, some of the jetski service centers are saying to use salt away and some are saying u can't beat fresh water?

Right rod for the job
Submitted by artygunner on Mon, 2013-08-05 16:08Hi,
I have read an awful lot on here about using the right rod and reel for the type of fishing you are going to be doing. The problem is this, I don't earn stacks of cash and I am after a rod that I can use for jigging and bottom bashing for snapper, dhuies, baldies and sambos. I have a Stradic 8000FJ spooled with 50lb fins and would want a rod to suit. I have been looking at the Shimano T-Curve deep jig rods inparticular;
200 Spin 2pc 170-225g 1.78m Pe 3-5 Spin
I don't quite understand why this couldn't be used for bottom bashing and jigging, can someone please explain.
Thanks,
Ryan

Cracker of a day
Submitted by dant on Mon, 2013-08-05 08:22Gday All,
So with all the talk last week of the weather being great friday, we headed out to Two Rocks to see what we could find (with Sea kem), we landed in a spot that Sea kem knew for about half hour, watched the Apprentice pull up nice Baldy - by then my deckie was spitting the chewy and wanted to head out deeper, so to stop my ears ringing off we went - dont worry Sea kem my turn to take out next time.
We studied some countours on the way out and landed on a great patch around 35 km out, with plenty of fish on the sounder we were very excited to get down there, it seemed they were pretty finicky with plenty of interest but nothing taking a good wack at our baits, about half hour later the Decky AKA the jig king gets onto a nice 6kg Dhuie on a jig (which i told him to get) - Stoked finally had a decent fish on board.
Another half hour later the decky spots this massive bust up on the surface - shit was going everwhere, in amongst the Chaos was sharks, birds, snapper, macks rekon we seen a couple of YTK in there aswell, PUMPED was the word - you know that scared feeling you get when you throw a lure in amongst a pack and everything just jumps out of the water - its an amazing feeling to think FK me what am i going to hook onto, decky loads up a mulie and hits the spot WACK!! its on zzzzzzzzzzz, funniest thing, he lights a ciggy, gets his beer and ses " il just wait for this thing to settle down a bit" haha classic, fkn great - i had my jig on still so that went out, after about 5 casts of lobbing it right in the middel WACK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im on - this show went on for about an hour, ive never seen a show like it, was immense fun lading Macks, hooked up about 3 Shark Macks around 10kg, and a very nice Spaniard which would have weighed 15 - 20kg, we had the inlaw onboard aswell and he landed his first nice snapper of a bout 4kg so a double bonus - we lost one freight train that i think is still heading off to the horizon, but that was to be expected.
as you can see below - my jig got belted, was orange now has not paint, the dimiki as a row of teethe marks about half way down, also the jig kings spaniard
t

after all that we were buggered - sat back had a few beers and decided to go to a little spot we knew closer in. lobbed out a floater WACK!! didnt even have time to set my drag, the mulie must have slapped him in the side of the face - first thoughts ahh he were go the token Sambo that we hadnt seen all day, mmmm hang on this feels a bit differnet, was head bangen like someone at an ACDC concert - anyway after a cracking fight in shallow water i pull it closer in FKN YESSSSSSS A MASS SNAPPER (for me anyway) pulled him onboard absolutley stoked, my first monster weighed over 10kg (thats all my scales went to). in amongst my excitement we landed 2 more nice snapper in about 10 minutes and also got the token Sambo and that was us done for the day - had no more room in the esky for the fish, tails were hanging out everwhere.



all in all what a great day and just to top it off the drive home was awesome, and a nice haul of fish.


thanks all for reading - sorry it was long winded again.
Cheers Dan

Forgot my Sinkers and needed help
Submitted by fishmad69 on Sun, 2013-08-04 08:03Guys
I left my sinker bucket at home and only realised 20 mile off shore. I was tempted to find another boat around me and ask them if I could buy some but didn't want them thinking I was ping there spots. Would of you cared or helped us out or would you tell me to get lost? I would of help someone out if they come up to me but was not sure what anyone else would of thought?

Deposit for test run?????
Submitted by Riles on Sat, 2013-08-03 23:01G'day.
I'm chasing some advice if this is normal for boat dealers over here in WA.
As I am nearing the purchase of my new boat I called up the dealer and asked them to give a boat (a new boat) a test run. They said this was fine, but due to the fact that they would have to get a new motor for the new boat they would require me to pay a deposit ($100) and sign a notice of intention to purchase subject to sea trial before it would go ahead.
I'm just wondering if this is normal practice over here ( it is a large dealer) or is it just a one off occurance.
Cheers

bait in the feezer
Submitted by Tim1511 on Sat, 2013-08-03 17:29hey guys I am just wondering because I have a lot of bait in my freezer from about 2 months ago because I never get to use it sometimes. When your fishing for dhuies and stuff does it always have to be fresh bait and does bait go off after a while and loose its scent ? if so could you guys please give me your opinion's.
