hey was just wondering if anyone could point us in the right direction or tell us the specifications that you need to have a fish capture to be worthy of being accepted into the igfa record books 

i.e can braid be used for an igfa title 

leader length(does that include a wind on)

how do you prove that the fish's lenghth and weight 

any help would be appreciated  

 What do you think of the new Exist?If you have played with one then how was it?If you havent played with one what do you think of the looks?Is it as good as a Branzino?

This may be a silly question but can I put an overhead reel on a spinning rod?, or do I need a proper over head surf rod

 Guys I've been looking for tailor everywhere... tried north mole, river, ammo jetty, ASI groyne but with no luck.

Any Idea if they biting anywhere?

Hey guys/girls how are we all,

Thanks rails

How awesome does Mondays weather look. Cant wait to get out, haven't had the tub wet since Australia day hanging out to get into some action. I wonder how many other people have the same idea LOL

I just picked up a berkley dropshot gen3 8-12kg very cheap and it now needs a new reel. I have a seido 4000 matched to a 6-8kg dropshot with an unloaded spare spool and some 30lb braid lying around however was looking for something a little bigger to balance the rod. The seido is just too light imo.

I have my eye on the Daiwa Freams 4000. Is this appropriate for demersal plastics fishing/lights jigging with octo jigs and light frankys etc? Will the zion body stand up to the task or is a full metal reel a better option?

piss poor form to who ever this is! I have just had a phone call from my brother who is out of ocean reef in a 13 ft dinghy , him and his mates had anchored up and set a burley trail got a dhuie and a nice sambo when a much larger boat has anchored up no more than 10 meters away in there burley trail! the boat is a white trailcraft trailblazer with a merc on the back so beware guys as this guy obviously has no fishing etticut or morals!

 Guys i have a new LB spin rod coming 10-20kg, one of the new Nitro Rods Rockstars, a 10'. Ive teamed this up with a Catalina 4500H, and i am chasing some setup info, as LB spinning for big fish is pretty new to me. 

What knot do you use to tie on your leader, i'd prefer to avoid bimini's if possible, and what length , and weight leader do you normally use.

I'm heading to Exmouth and plan on using it there and suring my other northern trips during the year.

Better to go for sharks at night or day landbased? Or is it all to do with the tides? Going to be high tide around sunset this weekend around bunbury. Any tips would be great. Not looking for anything massive just some gummy's or something around the 1 metre or 1.5 metre mark.

My son Paul and I left mindarie at 8am, blowing shit bag easterly,trolled for 90 mins, water temp, down to 23.7,no signs of bait schools,plenty of weed,went into the reef, put the pick down so we were in 14 metres, started the berly,we caught and released 3 sambos,I then had a screamer of a run and I'm thinking single hook mono trace this will only end one way but I was wrong,caught a nice spotty mack 90 cm long,cast back out and paul gets a nice pinky on a single hook 86 cm, had a few near misses,masses of ytks in the berly but that was all they would eat, resumed trolling and only caught 3 bonito which were released, hope everyone has a good time on the long weekend

 Hey guys,

I have recently put a Shimano T-Curve and Daiwa Oceano on lay by.  The rod is 20-30lb and i want to run 25-30 lb braid on it.

Im very new to braid fishing and dont have much of an idea on what would be some of the more reliable brands.

I've looked at Power Pro and Sufix so far, but any reccomendations would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

it just needs a bit of fish to keep it going.......

Will be working at the Getaway outdoors stall for this years show. Pop by and say hello if your gunna be there.

Hi Everyone,

I am sure this may have been discussed before, so if there already is a post i appologise.
I am after a light jigging / bottom bashing spin reel that will suit 20-30lb braid. Fishing mosting around the Busselton area in WA

I know a lot might say stella 4000/5000 but this is out of my range.
Certate 3500HD I would luv but i might be pushing my luck with the minister of finances.

Is there any other recommendations eg :
Caldia Kix
Sol 4000
Biomaster SW
Sustain
Stradic

any advice would help

Just wondering who is going to Gamex and or AIBT...I'm there for both...yee ha!!!

Checked 6pr site only to find the same photo that was being shown around a couple of weeks ago. This guy is really getting some milage out of a photo that makes the fish look big. Another site hade previously confirmed the fish was about 18 kg.

I guess we will have to wait to see the State Record be officially broken another day if at all.

http://www.6pr.com.au/

my mate just rang me to tell me that he heard on the radio this morning 88.2? that thare has been a dhufish caught yesterday that weighed 30+kg and that it is being submitted as a new state record. anyone have any more info???   cheers

Enjoy

 is there anyway to predict the current strength at dawsville cut? and also whats the weed situation at the moment down there? looking to go there some time over the long weekend

A work colleague is holidaying in Exmouth during school holidays and wants to take his young bloke fishing. Beach or jetty, no 4WD. nothing too complicated. Not knowing the area, any suggestions on where to go and what to target?

 Here are some photos of the ramp, the guys at tackle world said it was a week away when I got up here Monday.

 Hi all

Finally getting my sealegs and going to venture outs towards Rotto over the weekend. Never done much trolling, but just went out and bought a couple of lures to give it a go.

I would like a couple of tips such a speed range to troll at etc.

Currently looking at around West End, probably won't make it out to the fads till i've had some more experience. Boguht a Xrap and another cheaper brand to give it a go.

Cheers for any forth coming tips.

Cheers guys

Any recomendations for an approx 8' spin rod? Mainly for lure casting, sps, stick baits medium poppersetc on the flats up north and off the rocks around town and down south. Gonna be matched up to a stella 4000 mainly, probably running pe2, 35lb. Ideally around 4-8kg, maybe a little heavier.

Price range around $200-300, a bit flexible though.

Thoughts?

eylads heading up jurien bay for long weekend, can you catch much off the beach that way??? virgin on the beach fishing that way cheers.

Hey guys, i got my scuba ticket few months ago and am pretty keen to dive for crays. do i need a licence for this, and how do i get one, cant seem to find much on the net,

cheers,

G'day Guys,

not sure if this topic has been covered, but I was curious to know where everyone prefers to buy there bait from?

I ask, because I am chasing quality whole occy. I feel the general run of the mill stuff I purchase from the normal shops isnt that great. Obviously the ideal situation is to go and catch it yourself, but we all know that sometime time doesnt permit.

Any thoughts?

Clarky
