Just an inquiry for all fisherman. Whats the biggest fish anyones caught on the lightest line. For me its 8lb sunline 4-6kg arid rod and a 2000 fe stradic for a 14.6kg mulla

 Hey guys was wondering if anyone uses zipvac machines, hand pump,are they any good? How much and were to buy? Cheerz ........

Crayfishing is new to me and apart from the father in laws pots, i have

never dropped a pot in the water. I am looking at moving to esperance.

Do southern rock lobster go into pots ?

That is the most important question before the move can happen !

 Me and the missus went to get a line wet in the boat this afternoon launched at port kenedy boat ramp at around 1:30pm. Spent most of the afternoon drifting sand patches between the dense weed beds caught a lot of butter fish and some nice size sand whiting, but the elusive squid had not shown yet. Around 4:39pm the float on the hand reel flew under water, my adrenilan rushed as I thought it could be my first squid. As I pulled it in saw this whopper attached to the squid jig a couple of metres behind the float. My catch of the day!

 Just wondering if anyone's been to quobba this last few weeks and how they got on? We are off that way again late July and are so pumped I'm curious to see how it's going. 

Heading to the west side next month for a bit of surfing, fishing and diving in filled with being very very lazy and eating way too much.

wondering if anyone has been and has the goss on landbased. I'm guessing boats are much like in Indo with either lotsa dollars for a flash trip out or hitting in closer with the locals..

Any info will be a bonus 

Hey fellas

Was considering heading up to coral bay this weekend with a mate a towing the boat up (2100 Whittley). Weather doesn't look all the great, so we will probably stay in Perth. 

I haven't fished around rotto for the last 2 months. Mainly been fishing behind Garden Island (FFB) and a little bit out of the hale road reef system. Fishing for me has been a bit hit and miss, getting some good fish and some quiet days.

Thinking about doing a bit of trolling at the chicken run this saturday, <2m swell and light winds. Has anyone been doing alright out there? Probably push out a little wider too.

Cheers,

Alex

Sunday weather was meant to be good but that didnt happen.

Me and a couple of mates headed off 2 rocks looking for some fresh ground and hopefully get some fish. Our original destination was Key Biscayne Oil Rig but the weather wouldnt allow the 5.6m centre consol to handle as we liked.

we decided to turn back and have a look for some ground abit closer to shore and only about 30kms north of 2 rocks.

we were driving in closer to the shore when we seen what looked to be a wierd shape on the sounder.

stopped had a sound around and there was fish.

so down we went, mates first drop got a nice 54cm pinkie. as he was getting that sorted my rod loaded up and up came a 69cm dhui.

stoked as the last 3 times ive been out, ive got dhuis.

after dealing with both fish and putting em on ice, we got back on the spot, down went my rig and within seconds it was loaded to a nice king george. 53cm.

it all went quiet until about 12 then the bite was on. Mate pulled up another nice sized king george and about 5 minutes after that, my rod loaded again. I thought you beauty another dhui. Up came a 71cm dhui.

All in All weather was shithouse but the feed that we got that night was sensational

cheers

 My bro and his mate out shark fishing on the weekend and a little bronzie he got on half a sambo, the bait was bigger than its head and it still managed to get it down.

I will be in the market for  another bream combo soon (Thanks Mr Tax Man).  It'll be used for chucking little hardbodies and plastics into the snags from my tinny. Preferably rated 1-3kg and matched with a 1000 size shimano reel. Just wanted peoples opinions on the rods aroung the 150 mark or less, as I would like to add a nice reel to it with out spend more then about 400 for the pair.

 Has anybody used Bonzer Imports lately?

The web site does not show any prices on electronics (want a tm260) and he did not answer an email.

 can anyone please give some advice on a stella size to suit demersal jigging cheers

Hi Guys,

Just recently come back from a holiday in Asia and went looking at some boating electronics. Wasnt intending too, but was introduced by a family member as we discussed fishing and the likes.

Anyway, the next day went to catch up with them and they were still behind in times with the current model being a 627 and 585. However those were out of stock and he brought out a Furuno FCV-288.

From what i gathered, these are the Asia version of the 295. with exception of the bonded screen and the ability to run any frequency between 38 -200. this model is stuck on 50 and 200.

i have attached the specs, can any of you furuno gurus see if i am missing anything else between the 295.

this cost me about 2200 + tax which includes a 1kw 50hz tranny, and you can add a 200hz for quite cheap as well.

are the above difference a deal breaker for this?

Im after a travel rod to take overseas, preferably around 3-5kg (spinning), that will break down into pieces <80cm with a budget of around $150. Any tips or knowledge on some rods would be great.

Cheers, Eddie

Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how much it costs to get a boat transfered to WA from over east (aus), and the best way of going about it??

Cost will be $AU1900 (6 day fishing trip)+ flights+ food (we will be self catering)+ accomodation (1 night before and after trip) + your own tackle.

Coxy from Jigging Master Australia visited The Three Kings earlier this year and what a dream trip it was!

Post how disappointed you are in his decision on marine parks on his Facebook page, and then see how long it is before your post gets deleted and you get banned from posting on there.

Happened to me and a lot of other people.

Heading to the Phillipines in about a month, and looking to buy a good camera duty free. Have only ever owned little digi- cams, which are ok but obviously looking to take it up a notch. So thinking around the $600 range (not including memory card etc), something that's amatuer friendly but will still serve us if we get a bit more advanced. Also would like to be able to get an underwater housing for it in the future, i'm not sure what the go is there, if you can get one for pretty much any camera or not.

Also is there a 'photography for dummies' book or something similar that anyone can reccomend?

Advice appreciated, cheers.

 Anybody tried spinng lures from the beach on rosemary island out of dampier or any of the other islands a around there, did you have any ssuccess heading there for a BBQ and a bit of beach cricket tomorow

cheers
