Just wondering if any of you fellow members have ever dropped your rod and reel overboard. I only ask because today i almost lost me z40 and samaki jig stick to davey jones. I had the butt of the rod tangled in my jacket and got a big strike due to the force and being tangled in my jacket with possibly a bit of uncoordination thrown in the mix the rod pulled straight out of my hands and into the drink. Fortunately i was able to dive over the side of the boat submerging half my body and catch the rod about a metre or more down saving me combo. Bought a lotto ticket tonight after luck like that. cheers guys and girls

Was very surprised to come across this today. Question is. Why?

Enjoy

just been for a look at the ocean of the bent street ramp rocky its a glass of hope it holds 4 tomorrow

Recently becoming aware of egi clips for easy squid jig change overs I headed to oceanside tackle to grab a pack and a few other bits and pieces, and after geting top notch service from blake and ryan who showed me some new knots and helpful advice, I was off to south mole to try my luck and bang first cast first squid. Hooked a couple more but one got off and the other released due to size so only one for the day but good enough to put a smile on my face. Only bad thing of the day was losing my breaden 3.5 deep jig so gonna have to get a few more i think.

Hey. Im doing a trip up to exmouth in a couple of months with my girlfriend and her cousin from germany. I have been to exmouth quite a few times now and have always wanted to drive the track from coral bay to yardie creek but have never got around to it. Im taking my 4.3 tinny up and was wondering what it would be like towing it on this track. Ive heard its pretty tame but just wanted to hear from anyone else that has done it before. I have a 100 series landcruiser with a lift.

Cheers

Heres a queeny i got on new years day couple of years ago, way better than a hangover!

Just wondering if anyone has been lb fishing at seabird lately? What species do you find? Any good camping spots off the beach for a night? Thanks

well honestly im just  disappointed that the new stella does not live up to expectations!

However Im sufffering from a case of info overload...

I cant decide on whether to get the 2008 model or 2013 model

Im looking at using the reel for popping and stickbaiting.

For me its either a

Stella 2008  10 000 XG with a Studio Ocean Mark 16000 Spool
 
              or

Stella 2013 14000 XG


gonna load PE 6.

What would you  guys advice me to get?

for me cost is not an issue.

However Im leaning towards the 2008 stella. as the massive free play in the 2013 as well as its staggering weight is putting me off. But i do like the further casting distance and smoother drag of the 2013.


advice??
thks!

oh and do check out the stella 2008 and 2013 reviews on alan hawks website!

G'day guys,

Where is a good spot in the metro area to catch a feed of whiting that are actually an edible size? I have been going to the beach near salt on the water and catching them like blowies but all small ones. is there anywhere in particular where I could get some 25-30cm models? i'm land based. cheers guys.

 hey boys thing I have done my home work looking at heading out to a spot I was givin about 2km off shore I have a 4.3 meter boat with new 25 horsepower motor just wondering if there is any thing I have over looked or missed with the weather

 Anyone had any luck in the arvo at Naval Base? Thinking of havin a crack this arvo but just wanna know if its gonna be a waste of time or not. Cheers for any advice.

Gday - have been in Bali for the last 3 weeks so havent heard much about the perth fishing scene. I might be able to get the boat out from about 1pm onwards on saturday, weather looks awesome, just wondering whats been biting off Mindarie or two rocks, any suggestions on depths or general directions for dhueys or snapper also how about pulling some lures are there any tuna out there or maybe some Mackies   cheers Dave  

Thinking of spending some time camping on Lake Stockton in Collie.  Will be bringing the boat and ski biscuits.

As it is an artificial lake and ex coal mine site, it is apparently acidic.  Is it worth bringing a fishing rod along?  What living thing may be in there that doesn't have 3 eyes?

 Hey guys,

Finally sold the tub, now have a new Seadoo GTI 130. Going to be fishing and tow ski biscuit with the kids, looking for a insurance company. QBE was $1300 and Club Marine was $892. Anyone know of the best out there?

 There was a few quiet days at work so I knocked up something to spool new line on my spools with the aid of a battery drill. Simple but effective.

Hi all, just seen in a deckie post that the beach at Seabird has gone and since i am thinking of taking the boat up to Lancilin this Saturday so wondered if the beach was still ok for a launch up there. Launch there plenty of times in the summer but not at this time of the year. Also what depths are you all fishing out from the northen ramps?
thanks Brad

 Hey guys,

I know that there are a lot of posts about these two places and people wanting advice, I've searched a lot but none of them have quite answered what I wanted! I have the first week of September off (actually oct 30-sept7) and have the chance to head off on the fishing/exploring trip up north and am wondering whether we should go to exmouth or shark bay? We will have access to a new-ish tinny with a 30hp engine to take up with us if we want as well, but we aren't all that confident to head off too wide in the tinny haha. So just wondering on which place you guys would think would be better that time of year? We will be doing a lot of land based fishing as well!! 

Cheers for your help in advance!

Hey guys just got back from my FIFO swing, i have the next few weeks off so im free anytime in the next few weeks

If anyone needs a decky, got heaps of quality jigs/gear to share, usual split costs... let me know im keen!!!

Cheers James 

 Hi Guys

Can anyone tell me who has a spooling machine near Busselton?

Cheers.

  Hey guys,

Was just browsing Google earth and came across this just north of Ocean Reef.

Is this somebody diving on an air hose?

 Cheers James

 Looks like I might be moving the family up towards Burns Beach lads and was hoping to wet a line with my little boy, just wondering is their any decent shore marks around the area where we might pick up a couple of fish?

 Whats the ASI Groyne like this time of year?
