 Caught this in Exxy last week, any ideas?

Its head looked way too big for its body...

Heading up to Exxy in May and was wondering where should I be staying. Mate and I will have our wives in tow and they are thinking  a house in the Marina , we are thinking a chalet around the lighthouse caravan park or Yardie caravan park. We have a 5m ali. Will be happy getting tuna and macks and not to bothered about bottom dwellers. Seems to be the go to launch on the western side and fish behind the reef but was wondering if there are many pelagics caught on the gulf side thus saving a fair hike with the boat each day if we lose out to the women. Just remember...'a happy wife is a happy life' ;-)

 How's the salmon season shaping up this year? Is the water cooling down? Any reports what's going on along the coast up as far as Dunsborough?

I'm not a freediver or into crayfishing but one of the crew is ( coming from Sydney for the trip ) Heading to Exmouth in a couple of weeks and he wanted to know if we could drop a couple of pots for Crays . Told him I think there are only Painted Creys up that way and they don't go into pots ( not sure ). I have never seen any pots up there .

Am I correct in saying that ?, and the only way to get them is to dive and snare them ?

If you can snare them are they any good to eat ?

Cheers

Annual Exmouth pilgrimage dates have been set (9 – 19 May 2013) however we have missed out on our normal budget accommodation. As we spend most of the time sleeping on the boat over on the islands we tend to just book cheapish accommodation. In the past we have stayed in the demountable chalets right in the town but as mentioned we have missed out on those.

Any suggestions on a place to stay that is walking distance to the Potshot.

4 people going.

I'm not saying it's the cheapest price on the internet but its much better than retail stores. Amazon is a solid trusted website btw.

 Hi, new member here, long time lurker with tons of questions.

Had my boat 2 months now and feel like I've got used to the way it handles in most sorts of conditions now. It's a swiftcraft 5.3 meter with a 90hp, have taken to rottnest once on a good day although skipped over a reef as well as a call out to sea rescue with engine problems and an incident with a buoy early on at night lol. Anyway, now the novelty of boating has worn off its all about the fishing.

Most of my fishing has been in Warnbro sound and I've really caught sweet f.a apart from a few 50cm tailor, garfish, a boltcutter and way too many trumpeters. I've been given a hundred different co ords for the tyre reef and sounded it more times to mention with no luck. Tried the D9 once and carnac with no luck apart from a nice bream. Warnbro sound really seems dead to me not a lot of structure although to be honest I haven't been too far up around the reefs due to being a bit worried about all the breaking waves out there.

Also I'm looking to join a club or something seeing as the girlfriend is seasick in a one meter swell and my mates are t into the fishing. Any clubs around rockingham or cockburn sound? Cheers guys

Is it just me or are the private messages not working?? Tryed sending a few today and none of which could be received or viewed. Any one else having trouble?

Cheers Belly

 Was just at mindarie and seen the rescue helicopter and at least four rescue boats searching about 100m out, apparently they were searching for some kids that were pulled out on a rip from claytons beach.

does anyone know if they were found? Hopefully theyre found safe

Got a week off uni so i'm keen to make the most of it and go fishing, so if anyone wants a fishing buddy hit me up, my mates don't really fish unfortunately. Keen for anything, would be awesome if someone has room on there boat, im a pretty amatuer decky but will chip in for fuel and cleaning up etc (got my seasick pills too, no more burleying up for me haha).

Landbased is cool too, beach, river, anywhere, just wanna get out there. cheers.

 hey fellas im working away at the moment so havnt been able to get out for a flick. does any one know if the moles open again? ill b back wedneday an got all me gear in the car rigged and ready i just dont wanna treck it there and it be closed.

cheers

 Just wondering how the boaties went today. We had the weirest drift. Very strong north current out of cervantes. The wind speed on a normal day would see me chuck out the sea anchor but we were holding ground with 8oz in 40m with a strong southerly.

Hey Guys Does anyone doing any night fishing around the Two Rocks area? I have always want to go out fishing at night but cray pots are worrying me. They are hard enough to see during the day let alone at night especially those black floats that have been sitting for a few months. We run past a couple every time with out spotting them so I can only imagine it is harder at night even with spot lights on the boat. Just interested if many people do go fishing at night? Cheers

Friends..

i can catch fish out deep, i can use a sounder but i cant catch anything decent inclose off north metro. i know this has been touched on before,

but would like all the little ins n outs if anyone can help: burley type, amount, depth of water, depth of burley bag, time, etc

also my boat is sooooo thirsty, seriously sending me broke going out 40km everytime.

any help would be muchly apppreciated.

Cheers

gday guys, heading up to steep with mates at the end of the month. will be our first trip up there and cant wait.

what rod would you recommend for spinning the point? looking for something to match with a penn applause and 30lb braid. 

heard the demon blood is an ideal fit, but are there any other cheaper alternatives now on the market?

any other tips regarding fishing and camping the point would be also be much appreciated. 

cheers!

Just wondering if you can still get into the entrance on pippidinny road to 4wd on the beach? or if they have recently blocked it off? looking at heading up around that way tomorrow for a fish

Weather looking good for Monday / Tuesday and am thinking of a possible overnighter launching from Ocean Reef Monday morning and return Tuesday while wind still low.

Plan to bottom bash / Jig in the 70s to 100s and I have 2 spots available if anyone interested. Boat is 24 foot with 2 bunks so can get a bit of rest when needed

Hi guys, Just been in contact with Ryan and he has informed me that this afternoon the show will be airing and he thinks it is the Bremer Bay Salmon show. They nail some good salmon on both lures and baits from land so well worth the watch and it includes Tech talk too!

Next weeks show is meant to be the much anticipated Cockburn Pink Snapper show. With some good fish landed also.

The following week is the final episode and concludes the season with Highlights of series 13 and all the bloopers and out takes that go with it.

The Boys will be getting ready to start their filming again in the coming months which will include some exciting stuff. So feel free to tune in this arvo and enjoy.

 Hi guys/gals.  I'm heading up to Jurien in a couple of weeks to go out with Whitey.  The main rod and reel I'll be using is an Abu Garcia 15kg (5'7") Sonar Tip rod, coupled with a Fin Nor Offshore 9500 reel loaded with 30lb braid.  I would really appreciate some feedback on this combination please.  Should I look at a rod with a bit more "give", because this one does seem a little on the stiff side.  I don't really want to buy a new reel, because the Fin Nor is great, although a little heavy.  My other bottom bouncing rig is the entry level Penn 330GTI combo, also loaded with 30lb braid.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers

Baz

 Hey people headed up to jurien yesterday the 15th march for day trip with seasport charters. Determine to better our jigging skills we jigged hard all day and were well rewarded for our effort with baldys every where and a nice dhiue around the 7kg mark which was released. But it wasn't just the fish we where rewarded with it was the the priceless advice given from whitey and Ritcho and being able to fish the front deck next to them was awesome. Little did we know our day wasn't over yet we started heading back in so we put the trolling gear out the back and got about 5 mile out when the two bonga jerks we were trolling were hit and started dancing on the surface and then the rod with the skirt started screaming. The rod was soon grabbed by Luke (captain grumpy) and before I knew what was going on there was a black marlin jumping around going ballistic. Whitey and Ritcho yelling Instuctions and chasing the fish down the fish was boat side within minutes. The fish was tagged and boated for a few quick happy snaps and then released to fight another day. It was estimated to be about 25kg but a black marlin is a black marlin. Anyway just wanted to say a massive thanks to whitey and Ritcho for an unreal day and recommend I can't recommend them enough

cheers guys.

Hi guys does anyone know of a mob that makes fiberglass outrigger poles? They need to fit some bases that came with my boat from the states. There are heaps of telescopic Ali poles available but have been told to stay away from them. The inside diameter of the bases is inch and a half or 38mm in real mans measurements. 

Cheers Sammy 

 What do you use?

I need something  reliable and easy to use.

Cheers

Hi good people, I'm seeking some advice on what type of transducer I should buy for a furuno fcv 582 I have just brought. I do most of my fishing under 100 metres, the transducer socket is 8 pin, I'm new to furuno stuff so any and all advice is most gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation
