Anyone been to Coral Bay in the last month chasing sails and or Marlin?

Just wondering the best depth at the moment and if NW out of the North passage is currently the best option?

Any info would be great.

 Just trying to get some research and have mixed findings. Some sites say the wind is still good in Exxy in September and boat fishing and diving is great. Others saying, window is closed and shit house.

What have people hear experienced in the last year or two?

Cheers

Just wondering if this is the time of year for YFT? Haven't really targeted them before but me and a mate just went chasin' some birds. Wheeling and diving it was pretty obvious (we saw a few tuna launch). I'm a big tuna virgin so I'm puttin it at around 18-20kg (I'm 6'3 and 95). Any other estimates?? Suggestions for more?? Lure types/set-ups?

 probably a stupid question, this is all new to me. we have just bought our first boat. it has a furuno ls4100 fish finder on it but im not too sure how to set it up. we probably wont be in any water over 40M. what do i set it on 50 or 200 kHs?

also if anyone has one or used to have one what are they like and can you get them to work as GPS?

Thanks

 It's that time of year again! Anyone else going to carnarfin this year?

Is tomorrows (32km west-nor-west) wind any good for fishing.

If so where on the jetty? What for? How?

 would any one like to part with there bait collecting spot on the boat we leave from freo or hillaries found one spot wear we get yellow tail and scalies but wold like some wear a bit more consisant and would love to no wear the slimy macs hang

 is it mandatory to have an epirb on your vessel? 

Can you receive phone reception at Ningaloo station, precise position at the shearers quarters.

Cheers for any info.

Thankyou

 Hey everyone don't usually post but last night inspired from catching a dhuie with willy and some good advice my mate and I decided to hit up a local spot in my tinnie to try for some snapper. Without a sounder or GPS we thought we would compensate by burl eying the hell out of the water! Was there from around 4-630.  We ended up bagging out and having to let the last fish go ( last picture ) which was 90cm. We ended up keeping 4 fish 2 around 7kg, 1 around 5kg and one around 6kg  wasn't actually too confident at the start but it ended up being a gat short session ! Starting to think the tinnie and hard work is paying off

any idea what the weight of the 90cm fish would be ? 

saw a great boat name today it was called "the wife wanted a bigger one" bbest belly laugh I have had in a long time

Hi all,

I'm in the market to buy a new ice box for the boat. 

Are there any opinions out there for brands?  Looking for something between 80-100L.  Are they all much of a muchness?

Thank you in advance

Chris

I'm organising a cleanup of the Wonnerup Wetlands in an attempt to remove the remaining dead fish left behind by the City of Busselton.There are still virtually thousands of fish remaining around the edges that are close to decomposition and this weekend is probably the last chance we'll get. I'm looking for guys with tinnies and oars to carefully work their way around the edges and scoop up any fish without disturbing the environment to much.I'd just like to warn everyone that it's not going to be pleasant and it stinks to high heaven but it's something that needs to be done.The cleanup is on this Sunday morning at 8 o-clock.I don't want to hear from you heathens about having to go to church on Sunday but it gives us fisho's the opportunity to show we care about the environment.

Hey Guys,

Planning a trip down south in Dec 2013.

If you were to chosse where to go would you go:

Bremer Bay or Cape Arid/Israelite Bay

We all have capable 4x4 vehicles and love camping, 4x4n and fishing...oh and drinking.

Will have ~3 to 5 nights to play with.

No boat but possibly bring a Hobie Kayak. So will be landbased fishing.

I've never been to Esperance but have fished Albany all the way along the coast back upto Perth.

Cheers guys,

Scott

I have never fished at the E Sheds and was wondering where you park and is your car safe

Cheers

Cheers Dave  

has anyone used the platipus super 100 mono line before? realy thin for its weight. just wondering if its thin diameter means its strength is questionable. ill be spooling it on an old penn 850 as the old line has streached and changed colour from clear to light gray.

Did a couple of quick basic builds for a mate and his parents who have a hut on the Daintree River they let us stay at from time to time. This was a thanks for past and future trips. The lighter rod has a double foot stripper and singles the rest of the way, Fuji Alconites. I like it better than the heavier one although the pattern on that came up nice. Time to build one for myself I reckon.

 Hi all,

ive been looking for a jigging outfit and have come across these two reels, the okuma Salina III and the shimano stradic in the 5000 size.  Both are in my budget and on the surface appear to meet my needs. 

I want to use it for 

jigging - pe 1-3

bottom bouncing

spinning

in your experience/opinion how do they compare?

thanks

justo

thinking of taking some releys from o/s down to Mandurah tomorrow are there still crabs there or should I try the swan river

 Hey looking into buying a new transducer can anyone recommend a good one that will sound up ground around 50-60m? I have the stock tranny that comes with the Lorawnce hds 5 at the moment and it only picks up depth.. Cheers

Hi guys quick question. I'm based in SA and looking at a release weight for the boat. Ray and Anne's used to stock them but I can no longer track them down anywhere here

i have seen some homemade versions but where abouts could I locate a proper moulded version that they would use out on the sambo charters etc. is there any site sponsors or online stockists to consider?

cheers in advance 

Got this via email today, apparently caught on the Fitzroy river and could not be released because it got attacked by a croc alongside the boat, massive!

 Hi all, just new(ish) in town but just wanted say a big thanks to Ryan and Josh for their great customer service. And to Ryan for going above and beyond good/great service and giving up a few hours of his time.

 Just wondering if any salmon schools are showing up around Bunbury or surrounding areas

 Hey all just scored the day off, keen to go fishing. Has anyone had any luck during the day land based within an hour of perth?

Gday All,

 Hi all, as the post name suggests, off to the zamebzi to chase tiger fish again this year and cant decide between a samaki or G loomis for casting smallish rapala lures. Will be using a stella 4000 if that helps, any help would be greatly appreciated.
