hey guys i have a 12ft dinghy i need registered does any one know how much it will cost me, ive been through the DOT site but it is terribly misleading cheers, 

i couldnt help but notice how many people are keen to catch a mulla on here, thinking of giving it a crack myself as it seems that it would be a very rewarding and great achievement. i just wanted to know if anyone actually eats them as they are good on the chew or whether its more just the fact of actually catching one? Cheers

thinking of buying a speargun to upgrade from a handspear ive been using for about 2 years, so band or pneumatic??

 im going to freo tomoro night with a couple mates and dont know whether to go to north or south mole can i have some advise please ?

as the title says im looking for some good land based diving spots in geraldton to go spearfishing and hopefully grab some crays, thanks

Just wondering if anyone has been to the Warren yet, thinking of heading down this year.
Curious on water levels,marron numbers and if there any trout or red fin to be had?
Stayed a couple of nights on heartbreak trail a couple of years back and saw many marron nets in the water,
Is this allowed as I thought these were snare only waters.

i was diving once again today and dove down to chase a fish and noticed out of the corner of my eye and it turned out to be quite a large seal staring at me and looking at my spear and flippers and what not as to say           "what the fuck are you doing?" so i slowly waded backward to a rock and sat on it once i was up he popped his head up and just looked at me for a sec and i whacked the water with my spear and told him to piss off so he did, i know i probably shouldnt have but i really dont know what their like with people, it would be great if they were harmless cos their great creatures but then again i could have annoyed him by whacking my spear on the surface, just looking for some input.

Hey all

Well to some it may seem like a daft question, but if its possible i would appreciate some info on your bait gathering spots.

I fish out of Woodies, in my 5.5m tournament so its boating info that I am after.

Its a fact that all the shop bait is shit and at this time of year no really reliable to purchase, so do any of you guys get onto small baitfish on your way to your spot if so would you be kind enough to help me with some suggestions as to where and the gear you use.

I reguarly catch squid so thats not a problem, more interested if there are any good bait groundsfor small fish in or around the sound. Also what baitfish do you prefer and for say just alround bottom bashing and unwieghted drifting.

thanks for you info, look forward to the replies

Anyone gonna be down at eshed tonight?

Hey fellow FW members,

Was just wondering if anyone could help me out with Shark Fishing.

I have been trying weeks on end to the extent of some sessions going for 16 hours.

I've had three big runs all bust offs around the cockburn area was wondering if anyone could help me out with whats the best bait to use and wether to use a floating balloon rig or a bottom sinker rig.

Been dying to catch one for a long time now just havnt been rewarded yet there must be something im doing wrong or am i going to the wrong places?

Be much appreciated if someone could give me few tips or put me into the right direction.

this is my first post so please dont bag me :)

P.S Looking forward to helping other members as much as i can

Hi all

Just putting a post up to see if there are any Leeder Tomcat owners out there.

Wouldn't mind touching base with a couple of other owners to get some detail info.

ie Trailer

    Anchor chain (How much can it hold)

    Side compartment modifications etc etc etc

I have a 2004 - 240 Leeder Tomcat Hardtop - 4.3ltr V6 Merc.

Looking forward to having a chat...

Cheers 

Have been hearing around that there are no mullies in WA.

I mentioned it when buying bait last Friday at Hayway Marine in Belmont, and they told me they had heard the same but mentioned they had heaps, that was last Friday...... but dig in boys !!!!!!!!

Hey all. Mates and I have recently got right into fishing and I can say we are addicted! was wondering if anyone could provide some camping spots with good fishing? Went up near wedge island a year ago but i hear you cant go there anymore? looking for somewhere thats not too far from perth for fish off rocks or beach or jetty and can camp for a couple of nights. dogs is a bonus to give the kelpie a good run around but not a necessity..

Hey guys, looking a buying a pair of waders in the next few weeks so I can fish a little more during the winter months. Only looking a spending about $100 or close to that. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice..

Cheers

Just curious if anyone has had much to do with these reels?. Heard good things from others. Great warranty and service. Seems to be great quality for a reasonable price $200.

ill be heading over to the gold coast in may for 10 days and just wondering if any body knows a good charter for a day of fishing new waters :),

thanks for the advice and help

cheers andy

 Hi Guys, 

As this is only my second post i would like to introduce my self again,My name is Max Im 12 years old and i cant get enough of fishing. My other interests are metal detecting and collecting coins. My dad is also a very keen fisherman and quite often we will take out our 4.55 meter boat out and fish for 5 hours. 

I was just wondering where the best place to buy bait in perth is (freshest big ect ect)

Thanks alot

Max

Just got back from Kalbarri a few days ago, left on boxing day had a wicked 2 and a half weeks fishing. havnt got the photos on the computer as my arntys uploading some onto her computer but should upload some in the next few days. a couple of these photos are worth seeing:)

Morning all

Just wondering if anyone has made the effort to use livies for dhuies. On a charter last year the operator had a tank of yakkas/scalies/yellowtail. They were mainly used as dead baits but some got sent over with a 6/0 through the nose and seemed to get a good hit rate.

You dont here much about using livies but thought I might give it a go. What are your thoughts.

Cheers

Brad

got the boat packed ready to leave this morning but that bloody fire is going hard still. can't go via inland due to local flooding.

Anyone got any inside info from locals or people on the ground as when the roads may be opened and if exxy will even hard fuel when we get there? tried all the normal sites and really not a lot of info outside of CLOSED.

any sharks being caught around the metro area at the moment? round the woodies area ?

Here is some footage off August of a 5 M white, What are these guys doing feeding the fukn thing.Idiots

 Just wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction for info on breeding times for demersals. In my last 2trips out I have brought home large BA and baldies that have been full of roe. Obviously I could say now is the time for breeding due to my catches but just wondering if they are breeding late this year.

 hey all heading to mandurah this weekend. havent had the boat down there before but looking to head out wide. what depths would be best to fish around there and how far off?

cheers

andrew

Hey everyone, With marron season having opened on the weekend i was just wondering how everyone has gone so far? Got a few decent ones myself but no pictures unfortunately, many good sized ones around for everyone else ? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

 G'day guys looking at purchasing a Stella 2500fd if anyone could give us and info or feedback 

Cheers fellas

Mark

My wife accuses me of trolling too slowly, and I think she is right.  What speed do you troll at for spanish mackeral and tuna (talking shark bay here)?  i have never gone much quicker than 5 knots, but i am thinking probably 8 - 12 knots might be better?  thinking i will have four rigs, a deep diver (7m), mid water (2.5m), metal slice, and popper out the back at the time.

Thoughts?

 Not sure if this has been covered before.In light of the new FogDog beer batter mix i was wondering if the type of beer makes a differance?

 Can see this stuff getting a work out in May.Reds,Trout and Squid should be scared.Looks like i need to start drinking again as well.

Hey guys, so yesterday I bought a new rod, it is a Shimano Starlo Classix 902 Shore Spin (5-10kg), I also bought a reel, which was a Mojiko KL6000, it was on some insane sale (from $80 to $20) so it was super cheap, but I think the reel is a bit too big for the rod. I plan to mostly use it on the beach.

So my question is; should I get a new reel to match this rod better? or should I get a bigger rod to match the reel? (Shimano Starlo Classix 1062 Surf Spin maybe? I really love the look and reel of these rods.)

I'm not sure what reels to be looking at, does anyone have any suggestions? Not looking to pay over $100. Also what line should I use for the reel I have? I have 17 pound Trilene on it atm but I think it is a bit too heavy.
