Hi all,

Bit of a newbie to all this.
So far fishing out from Woodies in the 30-40m mark after five fathom bank.
Been drifting with paternoster without much success.
Do you recommend anchoring at this depth or carry on trying my luck drifting ?
Is this a good depth or do I need to head further out to deeper water.

Cheers for any tips...

Hmmmmmm Easter.........Most of the beaches are going to be chockers with people from all walks of life......to the point of being HECTIC and potentialy DANGEROUS.( Well anywhere where 4wds are allowed) The roads leading to said beaches are going to be chockers with impaitent people rushing to get to their holiday spots and then rushing to get home again........We all know that their are going to be numerous fatalities on the roads AGAIN.....The boat ramps are going to full of the types of tossers who cant tell the difference between the launch and retrevial lanes. Once on the water you will be risking life and limb from being mowed down unless you are in a BIG boat.......Jetskis will be buzzing around like a swarm of mozzies on steroids. How RELAXING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So why don,t you all just relax and stay home........do some home maintenance, gardening.....or like me.......im going to try and arrange some shifts at work. Then I can ENJOY a wonderful break after all the madness is over.

Parking rangers at ocean reef marina today.

Personally I always grab a ticket and just wanted to let all know who may consider taking a punt for a quick run out that they are running checks.

Cheers,

Jeff

Few Pink Snapper from the end of last year. All on my Daiwa 2500 Tierra.The bigger Pink's are starting to bite again but havnt landed any big ones this year so far. The photo's won't open automatic, just click on them sorry.

Quality sounder. Just upgraded and would like $400.

pm me please

 What's everyone's favourite colours/ types?

not very confident of catching mackos,looks like we miss out this year, with the cold front coming we might have a better chance at salmon

 Hey Guys

Ive got a 150 litre fibreglass esky where the hinges have come adrift from the body of the esky. I need some one who can repair the glass so that new hinges can be fitted. Im not that good with glass so therefore would like someone who could  do a good repair  job on it as it has a fairly active life.

Can anyone recommend a repairer who might be able to do this work for me ?  Prefer Hills area or SOR

cheers

 What's biting at point Walter at the moment, I'm going there for a family get together and was wondering if there is any flathead/ tailor around to target.

ps. It will be purely catch and release.

cheers,

Cheers Lee.

 Anyone heading too the islands this weekend? Weather is looking 50/50

 hey guys just a quick question if i am using a bimini twist to a penostor rig ( via GT know i know its overkill ) and loose half the rig do i have tie do a new bimini aswell, because i hate loosing a meter and a half of braid everytime i have to re rig or should i just go with a swivel. 

Missed the game today, what was the result?

*footy chat seems to be all here anyway so may as-well name it. Carn dockers!

Couple of sundays ago we ventured out behind rotto around the 60-70m mark and had a nice southerly drift  along the drop off and the day went well , plenty of skippy around then i caught a nice Dhuey on occy and had a livie on my top hook that was gone when i bought him up , then we got a nice baldy, kept drifting and things went a little quiet so would of been half hour down the track we headed up the drift to try go over the same patch when my mate scored a very nice dhu that had my livie in its guts. amazing how quick there stomach acids had already discoloured the yakka . Awsom day on the water stayed calm all day so nice ride home but still yet to see a mackie this year . 

 G'day fellow fishos.  Getting a rare chance to do some fishing..... Woohoo    Staying. In shoal water near rocking ham????  6 days to get my line wet. Any suggestions where to fish the area and what bait / tackle to use would be awesome to help my chances. Also it will be my 3 year old sons first chance at either beach or jetty fishing  ( he has fished a creek once and got some black bream) photos to come 

 Does anyone know how the weather is going to be in the morning and is worth goin out to wet a line, Went out of two rocks this morning but was pretty rough out the back.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help me with there still being crabs around in Mandurah Estuary?

Ningaloo Station near the Shearers quarters???????

I launch my 4.8m quintrex at warroora every year with out drama, but you have to have all the right gear.

So would it be safe to say that the beach launching at the shearers quarters would be alot easier due to the angle of the beach and no dumpers on the shore.

Will be there at the start of May, and at Warroora at the start of June.

Thanks for any info given

Cheers

Hi all Heading to exmouth during the week to chase some Red Emperor. Have only ever caught 1 up there over the last 5 years was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction of what baits are the best depths and what sort of areas. Caught one last trip in the 70 meter mark on flat ground holding fish are they a schooling fish or travel solo still trying to work out my lowrance hds7 to figure out what ground it was i was fishing eg coral shale. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 Hi guys and gals.  I'm heading off in two weeks to enjoy a charter with Whitey out of Jurien.  I have always used bait and Whitey generally catches live bait on the way out and I intend taking some Californian squid as well.  I have never, ever used any sort of non-bait lure and will for the first time try out one or both of a pink Octo jig and a 150 gram metal.  Are there any tricks to using them?  I've watched a few vids and have a reasonable idea about the action required, but I'm a bit unsure of depths suitable for the two types.  I guess the metal would be OK in deeper water, but what about the Octo?  I feel a bit of concern about whether I should start out with bait and then change to jigs, or whether I should just plough into the jigs to start with.  Are there any "Jurien Junkies" who can give me the benefit of experience?  Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Cheers

 Hi all,

Hi Guys, wasnt sure if everyone was aware but RecfishWest is deploying its 30 purpose built modules as part of the artificial reef off of Bunno this weekend. Wondering if anyone is heading out to mark where they drop them for future fishing opportunities. Other projects similar to this have begun producing thumper fish within 6 months of deployment. Im spewing i am offshore at work at the moment becuase i certainly wood have gone for a look to see where they were. If anybody knows the whereabouts could you fill me in with a PM or something. Cheers.

Hi guys new to fish wrecked. so hi to everyone What I was chasing was what rigs and bait do you guys use to catch red emperor? I have had a little success using a paternoster rig 7/0 hooks with flesh baits. Been heading about 60km off port hedland with not much success. Got a few one day in 30m of water, went back a few weeks later and never found any again. Also what time of day do you catch them most and what kind of ground? Thanks for your help guys

Man it looks so weird being SO fat with such a small head. Guess eating all the excess pellets of the Trout farms gets you Maccas looking  :P

I have heard a rumour that a few boats are heading up to Carnarvon/Shark Bay specifically for shark fishing....

Does anyone know if this is the case or not?

Personally... I'm stoked as I havent been able to land a fish the last 4 trips out!!!  Getting VERY expensive!!!

No fillets... 2 broken rods, god knows how much tackle/lures/jigs gone the way of the noahs!!!

Im not sure how bad they are further south in the bay, but out from Carnarvon..... geeeez!!!

Heading up to broome mid april with the missus for a 'romantic getaway' (my idea to go to broome) just wondering if any fw crew have any advice on reputable charter companies up there? Weather dependant on weather we go offshore or hunting a marrabundi ..
Cheese!
