Hi guys anyone been to myalup recently? Hows the whiting, herring and Tailor biting?

Hey all, wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction for cleaning/cooking scallops? Was snorkelling on the weekend and saw heaps of large ones in quite shallow water, but have never cleaned or cooked them myself. Any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers,

BD.

 Hi there

This is my first post/question so pardon my ignorance.

Does anyone do much boat fishing out of Yanchep? We have a small stacer and are looking to try our luck.

Any suggestions?

the two rocks boat is now open but only for boats that do not need to power on or off=====ramp controller

 G'day all ,non fishing related but does anyone know of someone  in the southwest region ,busso ,bunbury ,dunsbourough  that repairs waeco fridges , fridge is about 12 years old and just keeps freezing everything even on the lowest setting seems like the thermostat is gone ,thanks for any help

 Well, we bought a boat!

2003 Seafarer V-Sea with 90Etec!

Cant wait to get it out there and blood the deck!

This is going to be a bit controversial but the mulie boat at Dunsborough went out Sat. night and filled up with mulies but around the net there was an estimated dozen sharks of all species in a real frenzy. Now I've just rung up fisheries Dept .and they're saying that rec-fishers can target these sharks as long as we stick to the size limits of 700 mm between dorsal fins and second fin with a bag limit of two. When I then look at the SLSWA web-site bronze whalers and tiger sharks have caused closures at Meelup and Bunkers Bay for swimmers for a few days now but these sharks are not a protected species so I believe we're within our rights to have some shark action and take some pressure off the people using the area for swimming at the same time. You just know we're going to get some heat from the greenies if we do this but i'm not chasing greenie points but looking to put some shark in the freezer " maybe ".I'd be interested in other peoples opinions.

Guys

I'm heading to Molloy Island for the long weekend and was thinking of doing a little crabbing with the kids in a tinny. Anyone got any advice of where to find some crab as I have never been down there. Do you go close to the mouth or are they a long way up river?

Any info appreciated

Cheers

Hey hows it going

I travel down to Walpole occasionly and do a little bit of deep sea fishing once or twice a year, we only seem to pick up second class fish and get the odd pinky and black ass as well and get our bates rolled by fish we throw back.

A little bit of a direction where to go down there would be more than appreciated

Id swap a good boat load of fish for a carton of the good oil

Cheers

Just wondering if it is any good for fishing.

Heading up north tommorrow night and don't really want to go anywhere more than an hour away can someone tell me some good spots?

Hi Guys just a call to see if anyone knows if Kingfisher549 is still a member just wanted to have a chat about an old post from 2009 thanks for any help received Stay Safe On The Water

Hit moore river this morning at 530. Bit of weed but very fishable. Nailed a 40cm tailor second cast with the new beach outfit. 12ft sensor surf/saltist 4500H. Saw a couple of nice ones caught but went quiet within an hour of getting there. Couple of hours later i nailed what i think is a little bronzie, it went airbourne, jumped and summersaulted like a barra..It put up a great little fight and released back after a quick pic (much to the horror of a family frolicking in the surf 20 mtrs away) Can anyone confirm its a bronzie ?

Due to the Australian Open (Tennis), Fishing WA TV Show today and next Sunday wont be airing.

It will re-commence airing Sunday February 3rd

Had quick session of the cape today leaving the ramp around 7 and back by 1030 when the weather started to change managed a couple of dhu fish realeasing one that just went size and a mate catching a bronzie on a switch blade ,

 learnt a valuable lesson today. hooked onto another unusual fish for these parts. launched the boat from my local quick drive bit of birley in only 8m of water. got 3 kg whitings. all around the mark. then hooked onto something that started screaming away. managed to turn it and after 4 or 5 good runs on really light gear up came a cobia!!!!! looked around for the gaff........no gaff. looked for the net...... no net.  the cobia would have pushed the legal limit, and an estimate of 3-4 kilos. with only 8lb line and 10lb leader i couldnt just lift it in. so i ended up losing it trying to grab the tail.  so lesson learnt.... dont forget the bloody gaff or net. :-(

G'day fello fisho's!

Headin down south in a couple of weeks and looking at heading to buffalo beach or the river mouth in Australind. Just wondering if anyones been fishing out that way lately and what's biting, are the crabs running etc..

Cheers

 Hey 

whats being caught at the cottesloe groyne tempted to go there tomorrow night?? 

When you are setting your drag I have heard that you should go to about 1/3rd of the breaking strain of the line. eg, 15kg line should have a drag of 5 kg, 24kg line at 8kg etc... When using scales to do this should you pull straight off the reel or through a loaded/bent rod?

Last few days been getting up before the sun at the northmole or keep jolly frog jetty and all I've caught was northwest blowie and trumpeters plus it was an out going tide so I'm not sure what's going and if you can help me I was using heaps of burly and prawns and mullet for bait as I was targetting tailor or bonito and bread and butter fish! 

PLEASE HELP!!! 

hey all heading to singapore for 5 days in late march
and just wanted to no is there much good fishing options out that wat
unsure and unheard of much.
I know there is a fair few tackle shops there
but do any good charters operate?
whats to target?

Thanks heaps

Had a good day yesterday catching and collecting a bit of everything. Lamby had timmbo down so the plan was to do a couple of dives and see what we could find. First dive was on the west coast where the boys managed to find a few crays and Nizzy found a couple of green lips. After that the wind eased off a bit allowing us to venture out and grab a couple of dhuies. Next was to have a look for a few scollops in the bay. Only found a few on a normally productive spot. There was heaps of empty scollop shells around which was unusual. Ended the day having a few beers and a feed from the days efforts. 

Have the warning buzzer going on my yammy 40. Could be either oil filter blocked, too low oil in the reservoir (It was down to a fifth) , over heating due to buggered impellar, thermostat.

The tell tale is strong and not hot, just as it should be so I'm thinking that maybe the impeller is good. Could it still be the thermostat? I will fill the oil up and clean the filter.

If anyone can shed some light onto this it would be much appreciated

I am trying to upload a picture that is on on my IPAD, using my IPAD, does anybody have any advice? it doesn't seem to want to know?????

 Wondering how many Brisbane Heat supporters are on the forum ? I guess i am a minority, bad luck for some ! Good contest some one had to win, and the good guys wear teal ( not good ) anyway spent the night watching with plenty of Wa supporters . Got to cheer about something ! Our blokes aren't doing much.

 heading down to denmarkthe last week of march, just looking for a few tips on spot? what to target? (should be a few salmon around that time i think) also whether it is  worth towing the boat down. are thre anyspots to launch at denmark or do we have to drive to albany. (mainly looking for ramps, have a 4wd but am a beach launch virgin) not asking for exact locations just some info to point me in therigt direction. :-)
