Ok so my last post was asking for help with importing a Lowrance sounder, now i`m decided on either the

HDS 5xGen2 ( $630 delivered ) or the Elite 5x ($410 delivered ),

At the end of the day its mainly going to be used bottom bouncing in my Dingi in 40 odd mtrs down south so a reliable unit that is pretty user friendly is what i`m after....

Of the two Units mentioned above the Gen2 seems to be Geofenced ( i dont mind if its only imperial measurments )

Is there other things that will affect me making it unusable unless it gets unlocked??

Cheers Tim

 Might be heading to busso on friday and staying overnight, just looking for some info on the fishing at the moment, i will be targeting mainly sharks, anything that takes a bottom bait and a few bread and butter species.

Cheers.

Hi all, passing this on for a mate in the hope someone has some infoYesterday afternoon/last night our boat was stolen from our driveway. We are in contact with the police. They located the boat on a vacant block on Badock Way in Millars Well last night, the boat has now been moved and can not be found. If you have any information about the where abouts of this boat or have any information at all, please contact me or the Karratha police station

Thanks

Hi fellas out of curiosity, just wondering how common is it to drop a combo overboard?

last year one of my mates lost one trying to free a snag on 80lb when a small wave put him off balance, funny as s&@$ for the rest of us. 

Also last week I almost lost my overhead combo as I palmed the reel n it slipped out of my hand, lucky I had a good grip on the handle knob.

Cheers

 I have been crabbing a lot lately and I have been trying a huge range of baits from meats to fish you name it i was just wondering what has been most successfully for others as I am having trouble narrowing down the best baits. It would be great to hear what propels favourite baits are.

cheers Lockie

is someone able to tell me the email address to the west australian/sunday times fishing section to send photo's too

Hi Anyone know where i can get my cracked camera screen repaired?

i wouldnt mind filming some of my fishing.

Just seen this show for the first time, but on youtube.

I thought it was pretty good.   

What do you guys think??

well, its a shame its not happening this year with the boss not there.

but the way i see it there is going to be a few members there around the same time, soooo.....maybe we can organize our own little thing.

keep it simple, every boat chuck $50 into a kitty, nomiate a fish we can all target within a certain amount of time and the biggest takes the lot, oviously you will need proof of your catch, so same rules as adam run would apply!!

what you think guys? add to the fun and keep the exxy comp going.

cheers ron

 Gents,

Im looking at a new Ali boat and want recommendations. I want about 22 foot and don't wanna pay over $60k. I've had a look at the trailcraft 660. They are pretty cheap and look pretty good... Genisis and assassin seem pretty expensive. Any thoughts or recommendations?

Cheers guys

not cool.

Planning on heading out tonight from Bunbury, not sure whether I wanna go Forrest Beach or Buffalo yet. Got a spare seat or two if anyone's interested (and has a secret spot they want to share). Got a hilux 4x4, so getting on the beach aint no thang. Send me a PM or email . Planning on leaving around 4pm.

Anyone been to the FADS recentley? If so whats the water temp? Did ya get any dollies,,,,Thanks

 After work last night few of us went down for a few sharks with the wind perfectly behind us off our chosen rock platform. After running around earlier trying to find some baits big enough we where set with 2 balloons bouncing around 2-300m out.

First bait took just under an hour to get eaten and the second one 2 hours after that. All up we where fishing for 5 hours and managed these 2 very nice bronzies. First one I caught on my light gear (Trinidad 30A spooled with 40lb) taking just over an hour to beach, The second one put up a much better account for itself pulling 400m of line straight out against full drag on 24kg gear before coming straight back in all the way to the rocks. Hour and a half and we had this one beached as well. 

Awesome fun and good to get a few more in but it would be nice to catch something other than a bronzie hahaha. There has to be a big hammerhead or mako swimming around there with my name on it!!

Cheers Chris.

 Transducer is mounted as shown have a lowrance HDS5 combo and loose all bottom at 10 knots any advise guys? Any advise would be awesome as it is so frustrating missing all that ground when travelling to a mark!!!

I have used the search function and noticed fwa rods are quite popular,I'm keen on the shimano jewel aswel because I have the 6' jewel for river and im very happy with it.

I have also seen bcf have a shimano se4000  starlo combo for $169 on line,does anyone rate these?

Can anyone tell me what price range the fwa rod are in?and any other info on them or similar rods,or combos before I go shopping tomorrow would be  awsome,cheers

Hi guys just wondering whos fishing tommorrow and where.

anyone know whats been happening in the swan in the way of tailor, crabs or anything else worth chasing?

Sharkshield down sugarloaf rock/dunsborough over new years. honestly i really cant see it happening but if your feeling very generous i would appreciate it being returned, Ive lost alot of shit over the years diving but this was a couple of weeks old and definitely the most expensive. Swap for a carton of your choice otherwise enjoy your brand new sharkshield

 Hey Guys

Wondering where to pick up reasonable priced bait, I have freezer space so some in bulk wouldn't go a stray.

I live up in the Ellenbrook area.

Hoping to go out a bit further past Carnac Island on Sunday.Maybe the 5 fathom bank.

Have a 4.75 Quintex Bay Hunter. Looking at Sea Breeze and Willy Weather it seen the conditions will be ok. Do you experience boaties agree? 

Your opinion would be greatful.

Picked up a little tinnie but need to take the trailer over the pits. I have gone over it and noticed that there are no reverse lights. Do I need to get this sorted before I venture down.

Has anyone had a boat imported from the usa.i am looking at seaswirl 2301 cc and was wondering if anyone had some good advice and an estimate on the costs

 I used a couple yesterday at 5 fathom and as soon as they hit the bottom they were torn to shreds, literally. I was left with just a small lump of red and green plastic on the hook about 2cm long. Unfortunately my hook was toooo damned big. Any suggestions on hook size and type. By the way I was using them on a paternoster rig up.

 How can I delete a post

 Going down to Mandurah on Sunday with the wife and two kids. Originally I was going to scoop but now it we are taking the boat. I launch at the Leprechaun Store normally. Does any one have any suggestions for which way to travel to drop my nets?
