General Fishing Chat

First time out, first mackie :)

  Went out today on the new boat,  went out from mindarie, and within 10 minutes of trolling the line went off and in came my first ever mackrel :)

Stayed out for only another hour, had a couple of runs but spat the lure.

 

All in all a good start to what hoefully will end in many more !!!


WAS GAMEX CANCELLED

Heard a rumour that Gamex was cancelled due to bad weather is this true or a lie, have my good mates on C Wirthy fishin the comp but have not heard anything


PumPed

1 week to go,, cant wait.. fingers crossed the water is kind to us..

 


Waxing/ Polishing the tub- whats the best products to use and best way to go about it?

Hi all

Wss just after some advice on waxing/ polishing a fibreglass hull.

Can anyone recommend an easy to use product that works well and the best way to go about the process? Ive been reading up on Collonites No 855 Special Fleetwax which seems to get good reviews. Any thoughts?

Also, any tips on the process itself? Im guessing using a buffer will make the job easier/ better result, but Im also a bit hesitant about ending up with a swirly/ cloudy  finish if the jobs not done correctly?

 

Cheers all

JM Electric Drag Washer Upgrade for Daiwa Electric reels.

Theres no doubt Super Deep fishing is becoming very popular and so is the use of electric reels. Daiwa is a popular brand and one we use ourselves out there but standard drag smoothness and longevity isnt very good. Since Ryan ugraded his Daiwa electric reel with the JM electric drag washers we wont recommend anything else. We have been upgrading our customers reels with great feedback also.

These washers are ultra smooth, last a longtime, work well when the washers are hot or if water is on the drag washers so basically no more sticky drag. JM Electric Drag washers suits 750 & 1000 models including Megatwins.

Is it Normal for Charters...

Genunie question as I have no previous frame of reference, and at risk of sounding somewhat of an idiot....

Is it normal for charters, not to anchor over/nearby the target location,  and instead have all on board drop whilst drifting and then wind back up in most cases no more then 5-6 minutes later ???

 

And then after a single drift move on to the next lump some 20 minutes or more away ???

 

For around 9 hours on board, Id say barely an hour would of been with a line in the water...

2 stroke oil

Gday,

Whats the difference between the two?

WA fisheries under the microscope

WA fisheries under the microscope

Portfolio: Fisheries

  • $14.5m committed to seek sustainability certification
  • Additional research reviewing fisheries and collecting stock data
  • WA commercial fisheries worth about $400m a year
The State Government has committed $14.5million across the next four years on a program to seek third party sustainability certification for Western Australia’s commercial fisheries.

Initial funding of $6.5million will establish the program while a further $2million per year will support additional research and management to support the program.

Fisheries Minister Norman Moore said the program was important to provide public confidence that WA’s commercial fisheries could deliver sustainable, wild caught seafood.

“Independent certification will be required to meet the emerging retail trend to only sell fish from fisheries independently assessed as sustainable,” Mr Moore said.

“The State Government knows how important third party certification has been to our western rock lobster fishery, which was the first in the world to receive such accreditation from the international Marine Stewardship Council.

“We are confident that this best-practice process will confirm the State’s fisheries rate among the world’s best and worthy of the tick of approval that independent certification bodies can provide.”

The Minister said major Australian supermarkets recently announced that third party certification would be required for the wild caught fish they sold.

“We must embrace this as an opportunity for our commercial fisheries.  European and US fisheries are already well down this path and we must ensure the State keeps pace with how our fisheries are managed and critiqued,” he said.

“Today is Sustainable Seafood Day which celebrates fisheries operating sustainably, so it is appropriate that we take these steps towards getting WA’s commercial fisheries accredited.

“WA has world-leading, ecosystem-based fisheries management and needs to make the most of the effort put into this approach.  Certification will complement existing management measures.”

Mr Moore said he was pleased the State’s peak body representing commercial fisheries, WA Fishing Industry Council, supported the project.

Bar Crusher 670HT

 Hey guys stumbled across an amazing fishing boat today..

Johnson 25 HP 2002 model

hi guys,

I have just picked up my tinnie with a 25 Johnson 2-strokeoutboard on - The guy at the shop pull started it first time, and said they were prone to flooding, and it has a stupid prime lever thing on. He showed me the water coming out of the tell tale, and put in in gear and showed me it was all good.

I get home 10 minutes later, and the motor wont start???

There are no external kill switches and the motor is in nuetral - checked this..

i then toggled the prime thing, and it smelt flooded - took the plugs out and pulled it a few times, put them back and the motor started, but did not idle and died, I opened the throttle manually and kept it there, and the motor started and ran at a high idle, cause of the forced throttle - I held it there for a while to clear out its throat a bir, and noticed the water was not flowing from the tell tale, and dropped the motor to an idle, but it just died.

i checked the flow and it was fine on the muffs. The leg seemed to be hot, so i let it cool off, removed plugs, drained the carb from the screw on the bottom and the plugs are brand new - checked for spark, and they are sparking well.

forced the throttle agin and restarted the motor - same thing, runs erratically and wont idle.....

Any Johnson guys out there with a tip?

I can take it back to the dealer to check it, but must be something stupid, as it worked fine there??

Any help would really be appreciated


Baitrunner 6500B vs 12000D vs Thunnus 12000

Hi,

i'm looking at getting a big baitrunner to match up with my 12' Ugly Stik for beach and rock fishing, as well as some bottom bouncing on a smaller rod. At the moment I can't decide whether to spend the extra $ on a 12000D or Thunnus or go with the tried and tested 6500B? I have heard reports of the D and Thunnus having gear problems and that the 6500B isn't as amenable to use with braid as the other two.....

Has anyone out there had experience with these reels and if so what are your thoughts?

Cheers!

Matt

Quintrix 3,9m Tinnie

Hi Guys,

I am looking at buying a Quintrix 3,9 m tinnie for the sound/river and a quick fish or for crabbing etc.

I am 100 odd kg and tall, and want to know how these boats are for stability - would I be able to stand up on the boat when fishing, or will it topple over?

Do they bob around a lot on the water?

Would a 25HP motor be suitable for this size boat.

Thanks guys..

Beating the Crowd @ Two Rocks Ramp.

G'day All,

 

I have been seeing loads of good reports coming out of two rocks was going to give it a crack soon, however there seems to be loads of congestion on the ramp in the morning, Is there much of a crowd around 4am? I would assume after 5am it would be a mad house.

 

Next question, has anyone / is it legal to stay overnight in the marina there? Either parked up and launch early, or sleep on the boat already in the water with an anchor out, obviously keeping close to the wall and staying out of the way of any night fishing boats...

 

cheers for the help in advance guys.

Gamex

I was just wondering if anyone took a computor or camera to Exmouth for Gamex this year. I have looked everywhere & cant seem to find any reports or many pics. Is the weather that bad & keeping everyone in the marina or is it that you are all far too busy baggin & taggin. lol  I hope it's the latter.

I hope all goes well for everyone there, the weather is kind to ya & everyone stays safe. 

cheers Rob
