Just wanting some advice on a trip to bremer in july school holidays, i was just wondering to whether to as any else has been down there at that time and whether there is much of a winter holiday crowd and regards to conditions ive done some research on bom about wind averages and july appears to be the least windiest but was just curious to as the weather being unbearable cold and wet. Not that it would stop us going but just to keep the misses pleased
Any help or advice from previous experiences would be greatly appreciated

Jurien Bay in rough weather
Submitted by dkonig82 on Tue, 2012-01-31 12:16Hey
I have (non-refundable) accomodation booked for Jurien Bay this weekend. Was planning to get out fairly wide and troll for makkies.
Unfortunately the weather is looking bloody awful, and odds of me getting out where I wanted to go are looking slim at best, without me recreating scenes from 'Deadliest Catch'.
I know the forecast may improve between now and then, but if it doesn't, does anyone have experience fishing inside the Bay itself during rough weather?
Just wondering what it is like there. If it is like Cockburn sound, then I'm happy to fish it almost irrespective of what the weather is, but given the size of the bay was thinking it probably gets a great deal rougher.
Any help much appreciated, as if the Bay isnt a decent option, I may well just forget the boat and take the Mrs up for a weekend away!
Cheers
Dan

Swan River supprise
Submitted by GrahamM on Tue, 2012-01-31 11:01
Last Day of the school holidays today for the Kids and I'm on an afternoon shift. So the kids had hit me up yesterday to take them fishing and My Brother was visiting so along with the wives and kids this morning we thought we would get down the river and try for a few bream. Keen little ones so Uncle Graham up early after a late shift yesterday and made bacon and egg sandwiches for all as we met up at my house. Fishing Gear in the car Kids talked all the way down the river (ended up near Bandiup women's prison).
The Dog the keenest to get out and have a run once we got there . Dad setting up the rods and not even close to quick enough for the kids Heath first in fished hard for 1 1/2 hours for no reslut Jackson pretty much the same although he did catch a snag and pull up some line so off to the bin with that and I cast out while he was gone and much to his suprise when he came back from the bin I had a nice 25cm Bream ( the only one caugh ). We did see lots of fish jumping just not soo interested in the Prawns. Austin fished the whole time too but he did no better. As for my Brother his wife and their kids the only caught the tree branches over head.
Then i said to the kids time to go as i have to go to work and Jackson said hang on Dad i Have got something, I said ya righty oh Just hurry up its time to go Then DDAD DAD its a Turtle
and much to my and all of our suprise he was Right. Sorry no Pic of the Bream couldnt be bothered going and getting the camera but when Jackson got this i though it was defenatly worth sharing.

Hooks out and he swam off no worries

Pinkies in the swan? Confirmed!!
Submitted by ealzee on Tue, 2012-01-31 07:56Went down to my river hot spot last night and i can tell ya the fish are firing again in the swan. Will post a report but first i have to confirm that there are pink snapper in the river. I've heard they are in there but like most stories i need hard evidence for it to convince me. Well there are pinkies in the river!! We caught about 4 around the 25 to 30cm mark. Stunning looking fish

Cervantes Boat Salvage
Submitted by clay on Mon, 2012-01-30 23:19My sister took these photo's on the weekend from the salvage effort for the cat that ran aground a couple of weeks ago. The thing is trashed.
Got to feel sorry for the bloke. Losing your boat is bad enough. Can't believe the comments that someone's tagged on the hull. Bit like kicking a guy when he's down IMO. What do you reckon?

sharks and spearguns
Submitted by jutt on Mon, 2012-01-30 21:52Gday all, not long back home after 8 great days in Exmouth, love the place. First time with the boat there, a boaters paradise, also it seems a shark paradise as is here in Ktha. Had a very interesting chat to a fella from the DEC, said some studdies they have done there have been showing sharks are getting a bit rough with the divers. He said they have been firing spearguns without spears and timing how long it takes for the men in grey suits to arrive, they are tuned in to the sound or vibration and get a bit excited. I however firmly believe that sharks are attracted to the sound of a df150 on the back of a certain Coraline i know, talk about fish for the future, I fed the buggers for 8 days!..cheers.

Best Rod Tubes
Submitted by Pezdog on Mon, 2012-01-30 15:15Hi all
Hoping for a bit of direction on a rod tube to take on planes. Heading to Broome again in April and will be taking up 3 rods between 6 - 9 feet. They will be two piece so probably need about a 5 foot tube to be safe.
My question is are there tubes out there for sale that will fit all 6 pieces safely or should I try build my own with PVC pipe etc. I have a cardboard tube that fits one that i used last year but was lucky it arrived in one piece as one of the ends buckled (thinking it got caught on the baggage collection belt) but I really want to take up a few rods so hoping others can recommend a good product or good way to build.
Cheers

Some help on mackie lures
Submitted by Just1morecast on Mon, 2012-01-30 12:16So I've had my jet ski for a little over a month now and I think its time to tackle some spaniards. I'm planning to take a drive a bit further north maybe lancelin or Jurien to try help my chances since I have no sounder as yet. I'm still contemplating whether to run one or two rods but what lures would you guys recommend I buy?
Any help would be good since I'm new to trolling (only caught some tuna when I had my boat).
Thanks
