Just flicking thru the Feb issue of tradeaboat and noticed Mahi Mahi II for sale. Anyone know if Bernie and crew are getting out of the business or just upgrading to a new rig?

Went out with them over new year break and had a great time and caught some quality fish. Be a shame if he is. Been around a while and certainly knows what he is upto!

Hi all,

As the seasonal shifting sands have filled up my favourite fishing hole at Trigg, I have been searching elsewhere for a summer landbased spot. I have spent hours on the beach from City Beach to Scarborough with no luck. I'm not asking for anyone secret spots, but can anyone please help me out a bit?

Good day Fishwrecked fisho's.

 Hey Guys im headed to Kalbarri for a week and would love to go fishing there. Just wanted to ask for any friendly tips for landbased fishing up there?

Thanks in advance

Should i use teasers while trolling for metro macks?or is that just for up north.Any advice would be appreciated

hey all,

has anyone attempted to freeze Australian salmon? does the flesh go mushy like trevally? stay ok to eat? (is best fresh but what the hell)

any1 had much luck out from the harbour around the big markers to the north?.

I said I would upload some images of my lead casting jig. Here are the pics. As you can see in the first pic the stand and the pot bolted to hinges. The cake tin in the back ground sits on the bits of round bar. In the second pic you can see were the burn is and that slides up and down the legs for what ever height you need. I just poured the molten lead straight into the casts, pretty easy. Knocked out 25kgs of sinkers in a couples of hours.

Hi all

Haven't posted in a while and have got a heap of photos and reports banked up which i will put up soon (yeah im slack). However in the meen time went crabbing last night and was pulling a pot up and called it for a huge crab/s then the net starting flapping around and immediately thought another little ray but up comes a 40cm fat as flattie. Have caught some weird things in crab pots but a solid flatty mmmm tasty. Got 7 crabs in the end with some big blues hitting 17cm and a female which was 17.5cm huge mumma. Crabs still a bit hit and miss but starting to pick up from the last few weeks. THinking end of Feb start of March should start firing again.

Cheers

F***k YOU AND F***K YOUR FAMILY

Found this interesting table in a 2nd edition "The Anglers' Omnibus" by Roger Hungerford. (circa 1958 I think!)

How much does a fish shrink?

"How much does a fish lose through dehydration, loss of bodily water content, after being caught?

Men who have attempted to set up dehydration tables have found their task difficult , because the co-operation of many fishermen is needed.

But now the job has been done, and the honour of ferreting out the figures goes to an energetic and persevering Australian statitician.

So for those interested in settling fish-shrinkage arguments with something better than conjecture, following is an acurate chart, compiled under conditions as nearly average as possible."

Not sure just how accurate it is, but makes for interesting reading on weight loss after 6 hours, and 12 hours.

Cheers.

Browny.

looks like it might be interesting

Heading to Kalbarri for the the Kalbarri Classic in the next few weeks. Any reports of Mackies being caught?

I'm heading out on Sunday chasing Marlin, Yellowfin and Wahoo. Planning to stop in a special spot to jig for dogtooth and huge coral trout as well. Might even spend half an hour casting for big GTs if the wind is right. Spots open for three people. I'm supplying all the gear (jigs, lures, lunch, fuel, etc). All you have to do is meet me at the boat at 0600. The first three people to get in touch are in. Let me know if you're keen.

it was only a season or 2 ago that they never left metro water's for the whole year ,  now,  I haven't heard of a catch yet , let alone the numbers that were here.

have I missed all the reports or what??

Jigged Dhu from Saturday.

Perfect size for whole baked in the oven, fed 7, as good as seafood gets.

Any of you exmouth locals able to let me know what the current fuel prices are like in Exmouth?

Just doing a budget for the upcomming trip but struggling to find what the current prices are like??

Diesel and unleaded.

Thanks

Ocean Reef Marina nearer to reality

Hi all, this is my first post. I'm looking for yellowfin whiting, flathead and bream in the river. I'm a bit of a river novice but have caught (in the past) some good fish of all of these species down Pt Walter way. I'm not having any luck at all though. Can someone please help with where I should be trying for these fish? Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading, David.

Where abouts are the 4 mile and 8 mile reefs in Geographe Bay measured from.  Been looking on navionics and any general area that I find that looks like the 4 and 8 mile reefs are more like 5 and 6 nautical miles respectively.  Am I getting the units confused between nautical and regular miles or are the names close but not quite 100% accurate?

Hi people

Planning a Jurien/Greenhead trip soon and just after some advice because i've got pretty little understanding about this area. I've read the best time to travel up there is around March/April/May. is this correct? Also, how do you monitor the weather there because it would be pretty pointless heading there for the weekend and its blowing its nuts off.

Possibly going with 3 mates and 3 big boats (22' glass, 26' glass, 26' abcat ) so is there a decent marina/ ramp there?

Also, is it advisable to have some sort of tarp over the bow of the boat to protect it from small rocks being thrown up?

I've read about fishing so that areas covered.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi guys,

anyone got a Tcurve travel from shimano? How do you like it?

I already got a raider II travel 8-10kg rod and for the price, it is really a nice rod. Tcurve should be slightly better still and I'm thinking on getting a 10-15kg.

Something for the land based guys to keep an eye on in case they try it in WA.

Will effect those who chase snapper and YTK there. Even the salmon fishes will have to go to small hooks.

Does anyone use one of these total knife care nirey elec tric knife sharpeners..

Thinking about getting the professional model to use occasionly at home and for the fishing knives..

I know they may well were out a knife a lot quicker but I do not have the time patience or skill to sharpen my knives the old fashioned way of the stone..

These combined with a good quality steel seem the go..

Pros cons and thoughts on this model or others out in the market place...

hi guys,

just wondering if I can pair myTwinpower4000PG ( http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/product_info/language/en/products_id/7970/cPath/21_39_41_1186/saltwater-fishing/09-twinpower-sw-4000pg.html ) with a Nitro Viper (http://www.innovatorrods.com/nitro-viper.html) or would it be unbalanced?
 

Cheers steve
