Low life insipid piece of human excrement that is using Novara ramp and likes to brag about how he breaks the law on catching demersals.

At the end of the Novara ramp this morning I observed what I think is a large frame of a dhui and some frames of what look like good size baldies.

You fornicating hero.

If any member observes some single cell life form doing this use your mobile take a picture and report them ASAP.

It is excrement like this that should have their boat confiscated and castrated so that they can't bread any more forms of life that might resemble them and follow their actions.

rant over

 Hi guys, heard of a few bull sharks being pulled from the local river and there was a 2m one sighted the other day. Just wondering if you can eat them? or have eaten them?

cheers

 It's happening people.
Friday marks the start of the next chapter in myself and my wife's life together, hopping in the cars with the mutts and heading to Cairns for two weeks before making the jump up to Thursday Island for the next three years or so. I'm taking the big duck over early next year with all of my fishing and spearing gear and I'm allowed to take a rod tube on the plane with some reels and tackle ( 23kg of luggage has got 6kg of clothes to last me for the next three months so boardies n shorts are the go as there's no work on my horizon for the foreseeable future....:) 

Soooo that leaves me with 14kg of space for fishing stuff.

Im thinking one whippy light rod for chasing squiddly diddlies and chucking some twisties around. Seven foot graphite with a Penn affinity 4000

A couple of bigger rods for getting belted at the local jetty. Shiamano Terez with Daiwa Saltist 6500

Lastly my trusty Demonblood rod with a Talica 12 2 speed if I can get lucky and get a boat fish in.

What sort of placcies, lures and poppers would you be packing?

Thanks people.

 Hi all,

I've recently bought a boat, and am a little concerned at the hose that connects the skin fitting to the kill tank.  It looks like it's normal garden poly pipe (3/4"), which kinks easily, and can split at the kink if you're not careful.  It's the one running from the camera all the way to the back of the boat in the attached picture.

As this is below the waterline, I'm concerned about it.

I bought some radiator hose (thick rubber, reinforced with string) however it seems like it's a little too thick to get through the passageway underneath the fuel tank.  

What hose would you recommend for this application?

Hi all,

With the  demersal closure finishing, I plan to give jigging for demersals a go.

I launch from Woodmans point, just wondering how far to head out to jig. Is garden island or five fathom bank suitable, or do you need to go further for jigging?

Cheers

I'm just experiencing a few issues with brake seize (intermittent failure to release or partial application) on an electrically braked trailer. Issues arent consistent which suggests a connection issue somewhere. Can anyone receommend a mobile mechanic (I'm north of the river, Sorrento).

Thanks

 Hi all

I'm looking for a new quality icebox to go on the new boat. Quite specific dimensions to get the biggest I can fit in the space. We will be doing weekenders to Rotto/GI and maybe up to 4 days at a time max, so ice retention is important. Boat has a small fridge for food items - this will be a drinks esky.

Any recommendations on brands to look at or one to avoid? We know a good one isn't cheap but I wont even think about that for a second when I pull the first ice-cold beer of the day out of it!

Cheers

 Great day out with my boy,  landed a good dhu on my whiting rod, 20lb trilene, tiny circle hook and a pea sized piece of prawn. Plenty of whiting and a big kg for the boy. 11 crays on the way back in.  Moved my pots 100m further out onto the proper reef/ sand edge.  Tried for herring but caught gardie after gardie, heaps out there but I think there still protected. 

 Cheers.

Crays on the OUTSIDE of the pot!!

 Hi guys I am looking at putting a sounder/chartplotter combo on my new aluminium 5.5m centre console and as I have no experience with either would like to hear what people think of either brand or any other good value brands. Price range is up to $3500 and I was buying 2 ,run one as a sounder the other as a chartplotter only.

Depth wise I would be fishing no deeper than 70m , as I live down in Mandurah.

 cheers!

 Does anybody know where I can buy an Airmar P66 for a Lowrance HDS 7 in Perth. I know I can get them cheaper online, but I want to get it before Christmas.

Thanks

Hi I'm looking for 6 mud crab drop nets heavy duty must be 80cm or larger in good condition. thanks

 Found Go pro floating today. If the owner can give me the exact description, I'll gladly give it back. PM me with details.

After just having read a story on a site called "Sporcleblog" about the different noises fish make and the noise associated with different types of fish I was wondering if any members have read similar stories and do they know if any companies have experimented with producing a device that recognises species of fish by the noise they make.

What are your views on using such a device to locate fish the same as a fishfinder except using the noise the fish produces and thus locate the fish and identify what species of fish is making the noise.

Just a thought

 Looking for a supplier of good quality Vac Seal bags around Rockingham or Mandurah?

 Hey everyone,

I've just purchased a ocean whaler 565 and the trailer seems a bit crap. Does anyone else have this vessel that could show me their trailer setups so I can get mine setup better. 

Just didn’t make it back to shore, have they all got skippers tickets I wonder. Hope they at least have insurance! 

Been procrastinating on this one for too long and after the Mrs made a meal of dropping the anchor at a packed Rocky Bay it was time.

Have been researching for ages and had the Bell Viper in mind but the fellas at Whitworths have been less than helpful with advice. I walked into a new store MACA in Wangara for some fuel hose and after an hour chatting walked out with $2k worth of winch and accessories. I ended up going the 1000W Micro with the hi spec rope.

It's taken me all week getting up at 5am to chug away before work as I like to plan, measure, mark, walk away, sleep and remeasure before I start drilling holes. Neodymium magnets are a must have tool for seeing exactly where you'll be drilling through on the other side of the well.

So far I've got the roller, winch, wiring and switches in and need some longer bolts to mount the bow roller and run the winch wiring through the anchor well.

 Jazz is booked out when I am available, is anyone else running cray charters?

Had a mishap backing boat into neighbour's dwy - snapped the skeg (175 Suzuki 4 stroke) - FU#K!!

Still have the snapped off piece - does anyone know of anyone north of river who can weld it up and straighten it up for me?

I would appreciate any welder/repairer suggestions...

Cheers. 

Whats everyone got planned for 2021 fishing trip wise?

I'm going to Exmouth in May, then point Samson and Coral Bay in Aug.
