Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good, complete fish species reference book.  I have a couple already but have found that they are missing some of the species I've been catching (and in some cases unsuccessfully targeting). 

Cheers in anticipation!

 hey boys looking at chassing marlin this year or next year just wondering if some 1 can steer me in the right direction im not fussed if it isnt in wa just wanna start looking and book :)

Have a look at this catch..

Can you imagine hauling that bad boy in.!!

 Hey guys I'm heading to busso again soon targeting tailor. What's the best lure or lures for the jetty apart from the obvious like richters and twistys. Looking at trying something different! Ill have mulies aswell but never caught a tailor on lure so any info is good info!

 does anyone know ? thanks

Hi guys and gals,

This is probably a silly question but

do squid live in the river? I know they're saltwater creatures

but with the flow of the ocean thru freo harbour just wondered if they go as far as

leeuwin boat ramp or maybe east st jetty..

Thanks

Paul

My son with  a nice Tailor (Released to grow a bit)

Ive been looking at some of the stickbait options available and I know they will suit the style of fishing I enjoy but at $25 - $30 a go im balking at the price......I know that one good fish to me I will feel like it was money well spent but that sinking feeling would still be there if a fish did me on one of the gurgling reef ledges that I love to haunt. Yes it would hurt.....worse still would be the old bust off casting!

I think im going to splurge tommoz and see how some of them work........the satisfaction of watching a BIG Tailor swipe one off the surface will be worth it......

Evening Gents,

As the title says, Im looking to buy a new Rod and Reel on friday.

I know VERY LITTLE about a good quality set up and all that junk, I currently use that 8foot 2 piece hunk of crap.
Im getting sick of having to haul around a 2 piece, Because i need to break it down to fit in my car. Dealing with tangled line next time i head out.

All that kind of crap.

I could use some opinions on simple 1 piece, with the capability to fish off Jettie's and estuarys. Everything other then off a boat.

Cheers :3

Patto.

 if any fishwrecked members are heading to Dampier for FeNacl fishing comp and need acomidation  send me a pm i wont be making it this year but have a mate in K town  that has a few spare rooms at his place

What settings do you guys use for videos?

The files I get are huge and a pain to work with.

What is the best balance between quality and file size?

Cheers! 

 All,

Has anyone positively ID'd the stickbait mentioned on pages 66-69 of the current WAngler? I've got two possibilities but one doesn’t look quite right and the other doesn’t seem to be available in Aus. It doesn’t help that I'm not sure if the 'clue' has a typo or not.
I would love to know what it is so I can pick one up before I head off fishing. If it's a closely guarded secret but your happy to share please PM me! my lips will be sealed.
Thanks in advance
 

home on Monday
hoping for some good weather, my boat is gunna cop a flogging...lol
cheers ron

after i took delivery of my new boat just over a week ago i had gripe on this site about the wiring ripping out of the center console when i tilted it down.  well i will give credit where credit's due the supplier of the boat fixed the wiring problem pronto.  since then i have been able to go over the boat pretty closely and was dissapointed to find weld spatter and weld burn marks on the hull and droplet marks on the transom where some type of chemical has been dripped on it. i dont think i am being fussy but i just thought the standard of finish wasnt good enough, so what I did is I left negative  feed back on the manufacturers facebook site. i have now had 3 phone calls from eastern states from them and they are sending a rep to look at the boat tomorrow morning. The power of social media is all powerful but use it carefuly    

 Hey guys need a hand

got a mac book pro and trying to save my waypoints to it off a SD card but won't load. Does anyone know if there is an app to download to help me out.

cheers man

Hey Guys,

Looking at changing all my trebbles to single hooks (with split rings) could anybody reccomend what type of hooks you would use for this?

Have had a quick look at local tackle shop and asked the worker there for a bit of advice - but had no idea.

Any advice would be great.

Cheers - Luke

 Hey fellas, 

Just wondering if anyone knows what those 5 bouys in the water off cott are? They're about half a kilometre out and looks like some sort of monitoring station.. been there for a week or so now and just curious

Cheers in advance

I've been getting out on some prime looking KGW ground anywhere from Fremantle right up to Jurien Bay and have been struggling to get anything but bloody wrasse. I was wondering if anybody had any tricks up their sleeves on avoiding these buggers.

I've still managed to get my feed of KGW, but i prolly catch 1 whiting for every 10-20 wrasse... 

Gday All,

Thought i would open up a thread to help us new boaties deal with offshore weather conditions, and how best to handle many different situations that the weather/ocean puts on for us.

I would be greatful if the experience boaties could share some experiences on some scnenarios that they have encountered and how they handled the situation ie, heavy following sea, slow down or power through?

Im still learning the conditions at the moment - but after the wk end in Jurien it opened up my eyes a bit as to how the forecast may be not quite what you think.

Thanks All

Hi

I will be in Coral Bay in late June for a week holiday with the family. I normally have my boat with me but this time we are caravanning. Therefore, I will only be fishing from the shore. Could anybody tell me some good places to fish from the shore and what to expect.

Thanks

Looks like the marine parks are a definate.

Can someone please help me with a close up of what they are proposing for Geographe Bay?

I have looked it up but cant find a close up.

Cheers in advance Choc.

 G'day All, 

So that time of year has come around again..Exmouth for 10 days!! 

We're leaving mandurah around 9am Thursday (bugger peak hour traffic) and planning to make it to the overnight rest stop at Lyndon  river on Exmouth Rd. Other mob in convoy will stop in Carnarvon overnight. Friday we'll jump back on Rd first thing and hope to arrive in town by 9, unload and have boat launched by lunchtime haha. The rest of boys will be heading down from Karratha on the Saturday. 

The weather up there looks like its on the mend so fingers that keeps up! 

So my question is, will there be any  other fellow fishwrecked crew in town at the same time?? Always good to be able to catch up and meet other members for a beer and put a face to the name. 

Cheers

Robbo

is there a season as such for tuna or are they more of an all year round fish??? looking to do a little bit more trolling after the awesome time had in exmouth and was wondering wheather i should wait till summer to give it a go!

Managed to get a spot at steep point for 4 days in 3 weeks as a last minute trip with my brother and a couple of mates. Anybody been up there lately?? Still Mack's around? Trying to get my brother onto a Mack and some monster sharks after dark and ill be diving all around the place during the day. Can't wait to get back up there!!

Hi guys,  I am planning my holidays for the year and was hoping to visit Kunno in late September.

Can a local please let me know how the barra fishing is in late sept.  Damo?

Pilbara barra are well on the bite by then, so I assume Ord river will be ok too.

thanks!

Thinking of giving this a go now.  Hook and size recommendations please for a set of 3 gangs on the standard tackleshop white bait.  I've seen some use the mustad limerick, just not too sure about sizes.

 Greetings fishwrecked community,

I have been sitting in the background for a while enjoying all your fishy posts! so firstly i want to say thanks for all the eye candy . Ofcourse now that i want something, i have decided to create an account!

I was curious to know if any of you rec-fishos out there are using GIS software as part of your tool-kit? i would like to know if anyone can point me in the direction of datasets related to our WA coast? i am sure they would exist out there somewhere... otherwise i know that there are digitzed marine charts getting around, has anyone tried to georeference them?
I am a keen fisho and i love WA with all my heart, i am still a GIS rookie but i see it as a powerful tool that has the potential to ad some serious value to the rec-fisho arsenal and the wider concept of rec-fishos as a tool for citizen science!

I look forward to getting to know some of you guys and would greatly appreciate any wisdom/shapefiles you might have 

 

 Guys just bought some 500mm LED strip lights and have started re-doing the wiring on my boat, not that there was anything wrong with it before except the fuel guage wasn't working which i found a loose wire. But now its all out, i'm adding the anchor light, cabin light, two extra speakers for the stezza, a new VHF radio and the strip lighting. Seems the boat has a loom fitted to include the extra lights to the switchboard but they arent connected.

Curious as to where others have placed their Strip Lights, under the side pockets or in them seems to be popular? Doesn anyone have any pics of them going or suggestions on where to put them?
