New Shimano Anchor Winch

New bag limits

 Just been reading up on the new bag limits and it doesn't  mention anything about extended trips.....estaminet overnight on islands for example......the way I read is you can have 2 days limits for an overnight stay......given that it explains a bag limit as the amount of fish you can take in a 24 hour period.....

 

anyone else read it this way or differently??

Heading out from Mandurah

Hi all,

Reaching out for a bit of help here.  In a couple of weeks I'm taking the boat down to Mandurah for a family holiday with the folks.  I've never fished out form there before, but thought I would take the old man out for a bit of a session if the weather is ok.

Trouble is, I dont know the ground out there at all, and so looking for some help as to where to head.  Not asking for your best spots, but if anyone could point me to the general vacinity of some decent ground where i can sound around, I'd really appreciate it.  Feel free to PM me if you dont want to publicise any info :)

We're staying in the Mandurah canals so will be heading out from there.

 

Thanks in advance,

Lavs

Boat trimmer?

 Hi all,

 

can anyone recommend a decent boat trimmer? I am looking to have some canvas covers, with fly screen infills, made up to enclose the back of my boat for overnight stays etc.

 

preferrably north of the river or someone that could come out and have a look and provide a quote would be great as well.

 

cheers

Dhui

 Went out on mates boat on Saturday after having dreams the night before off catching a 75cm dhui. Biggest dhui I have caught was 54cm so I would be stoked to have my dream come true. After about 2 drops my rod loaded up. Within a couple off minutes I had a 82cm dhui on the deck. I was over the moon. Got a nice big black ass which come in at 46cm n was over the moon. Too top it off, up come a tiger shark after a weird, easy fight. When he seen the boat, he took off quick. Good days fishing. 


Stolen GPS..now need to buy replacement?

 My parents house in perth was broken into and our electronics bag for the boat was taken.

to them it will be a useless navman screen but to me its 7 or so years of hard work....

luckily i have some of my prized marks stored away but there are literally thousands on there...

obviously now im going to have to buy a new plotter.

i already have a 585 sounder so dont need one that sounds just a gps only...

im thinking raymarine e7, e9 or a HDS8....

is there any good recommendations on either of these 3 units...

 

thanks.

2stroke Tohatsu help

 Hi guys,

Wondering if anyone lives near meadow springs and spare half an hour, I went out this morning and had no issur. Stopped the motor and went to restart and there is nothing, the motor will tilt up and down. The radio works,

I can here the choke going in and out, just not Mechanically minded and don't have enough cash to leave it at a boat service centre to find out the issue?

It is notin gear when I try to start, and there is plenty of fuel?.


Snapper in the Sound? Is it worth a go?

Howdy all,

 

Well I have booked a couple of day off to spend with Mrs Swompa, and had a look at Seabreeze and saw that Monday night looks OK for a fish in the sound.


Question is, would it be worthwhile making a trip into the sound for an evening fish?

 

I note that it is the first day of the new moon, and we will have an incoming tide, I am just unsure what that equates to fishing wise.

I also know that if im not out there I wont catch anything, but as I am the kiss of death with it comes to fishing in general, is it worth a go?

What size boat do you use to go out deep?

Hey Gents,

I am relitively new to boating and I wanted to know some opinions on the smallest boat people would take out wide (40 - 50m of water) obviously it will depend on weather, swell ect.

The reason why I ask is that I have just sold my 25ft trophy and I am looking at down sizing. I have looked at boats around the 6m mark and a little smaller... but to me they look a little too small to be taking out where I was going before.

probibly a random question, but I just wanted to know others opinions.

Cheers!


Anyone going out of Metro Perth that needs company?

 Hi,

PM me on here or send me an email

Cheers!

Cant wait to give em a try... Cheers Belly


Piercings

Sherbie got a Piercing today for his birthday, he may have been trying for a Prince Albert but missed.


The weekend away to diving paradise.

 Me and a few mates did a weekend trip away to a very remote south coast beach for some fishing for salmon and sharks and got a few dives in to.

We went to The far headland at the beach with a big swim around 1.5km to the deep water past the sand where the reef and the fish are. The currents where strong on the way back with a very tiring swim even with free diving fins. These 2 days dives made me realize how bad I need a go pro!!

In the time we where in the water we spotted over 100 queenies, 40-50 grouper ranging from 8kg through to some well over 30kg!!, skippy that where easily 5kg+ that could of been classed as small GT's, big harlequin fish and just reef fish in general everywhere!!! It's the sort of place you can tell very few people have ever been to!!. We shot enough for a feed and left the rest for when we come back next time. I also got my pb grouper of around 13kg on spear and some nice queenys well over 70cm.

 

 

I have some monster shark photos that we got from the weekend effort but once I've sorted through it all and finished cleaning the sand out of everything I'll throw them up to.
