cheers

What's the landbased fishing like at Jurien Bay, as in at the jetties & off the marina walls in the town itself? Itching to get up that way for a fish & this wind would make our usual (more isolated) spot very hard work if not impossibe to fish. Lacking a 4x4 so have to stick to good roads.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Enjoy

Just thought i would see if any one is about as I will be going for a fish with the wife and kids Saturday at about 5pm at the museam end of the E shed so if you are around come and say Hi

Cheers Graham

Hello from Holland.

I'm Looking for a small private charterbout for 2 persons to go for big game in februar 2012. Can anyone help.

 Is there a bag limit on scalie's or hardy heads?

 Hi everyone,

Anyone here know much about mercury in fish? What would you avoid eating too much off, I have heard that species high up in the food chain have high levels of mercury things like tuna, sharks etc. is this the case with all fish? Or is it if you have coal mines or Plants around or some chemical plants around then this could cause it.

Interested to hear more about it because some websites say to limit your fish intake to once a week

Thanks

Abz

took my eldest boy down with me

he caught about 40 scallie mackels

now in freezer for bait

good to see fisheries down there to

most scallies where small least i got bait now

put a few out on big rod they got choped in half

lots of crabs to but mostly under size

and seen about 4 see snakes was a good few hours now im ready for narrows in a few days

I have fished Shark Bay for several years , generally off Turtle Bay and Dampier Reef.I have been very lucky and have never been blown out but I know that some trip I will.In all the years going up there I have never given fishing Landbased off Steep Point  a

second thought.

What set ups do you use for fishing off Steep for chucking poppers and lures .Interested in hearing about rods selection and lengths to suit my saltigas.I have an 8' Pe4-6 for chucking poppers from the boat but not sure if its long enough for land based.

It will only be day trips or maybe an overnight trip as we usually have a house in Denham.

Cheers Vince

Ok, ok - its a Mercury (it was on the boat when I bought it).  1991, 90 HP, 2 stroke, had rebuild and service a few months ago.

So, I'm coming back in today and the trottle starts playing up - it doesn't want to stay at one speed - it groans its arse off then builds up momentum then wants to go full tit.  So I'm spending forever speeding up and slowing down, looking like a knob.  After doing that for a while, it doesn't want to rev up at all - will only go dead slow and if I try to speed it up it coughs and splutters and wants to die.  So I pull up and fish for a bit - turn it off for half an hour.  After that I start it back up and its right as rain..... for a while, then the whole process starts all over again....

I checked throttle friction, linkages, fuel - apart from that I don't know much about outboards.  When I washed it down later I noticed there was some fishing line wrapped up in the prop - so I've got a job to do tmw... but it doesn't really seem like that'd be enough to cause that much drama...

My knowledge of car engines is suggesting a fuel delivery issue, blocked fuel filter or something.

Any ideas....?

I saw a guy on the news tonight who I met about 12 or so years ago in Exmouth. Him his mate and two kids were lucky, boat caught on fire, he set off the eperp, chucked on the life jackets and jumped over with the esky. He is one of those cool under pressure type of guys who was a brilliant freediver, pig hunter back then. He said the boat sunk like a stone and his poor mate had a lure hooked in his leg with the line and rod attached to the boat. Im so glad that they are ok, it must be horrible to be in a situation like that. He bought the boat off his sister two weeks prior.

Aargh... T'was truly a pleasure to sail upon THE BLACK PEARL, Reaping the endless bounty of the salty brine, Tapping Rotto booty on sou-west wine, Written apologies (scotto) and the refund of fines (fisheries). Aargh.... Aargh alas, 'Tis True of the curse The curse that will turn the strongest man to something else, the scourge of all wild men and their mates, causing the inevitable destruction of all fishing partnerships, WOMEN.... .... AND THEIR NEEDS.... Aargh.... Aargh alas I've yet to meet my singing siren and neigh have I been allured by songs of fair maidens, Simply, I stink of fish and me ain't one to be fancy with the ladies, If ye get me drift, I like to fish and that's it, Spending some quality time with a school of snapper is much more appealing to me than watching neighbors with the kids. To be standing side by side with your best mates having the time of our lives is just priceless.... Aargh... Until the wife hears how much your boat is actually worth.... Aargh...... FAARK.....!!!!! Aargh..... Truly we are at worlds end, and alas it is much worse, THE BLACK PEARL and it's Pirate crew Are soon to be sailors without sails, The BIG BLACK ALI is to be sold, it's waypoints included, but her stories never told... 'Will be a sad, sad day to see the old girl go, BUT AS THEY SAY - SUCH IS LIFE.... ( If it was up to me I'd keep the boat and sell the wife ) So my fellow mulloway kings I have to say Thanks guys for not throwing me overboard, and it looks like we'll be back down at e-shed real soon.... LOVE YOUR WORK NODDY

THE DECKY P

I am going to Steep Point for a week in May.  I see on their website a photo of a bloke holding a crayfish.  Does anyone know if there are many around the area?  Is it worthwhile taking the pots?

 hey, im going fishing tomorrow night with a couple mates and i dont fish very often nore do i know many good fishing spots, if you know any places land based north of river can you please help me out? cheer

good to see the new mobile patrols out & about on the coast checking

had the guys stop & check us today at gracetown , seems it will be a bit of a  more regular occurence

had one red hulled alli boat , come to within metres of the finger jetty , he spotted the guys doing there thing and promptly headed back out to sea around north point ........seems he needed to tidy up his boat ..........watched him from the top of north point car park , as he worked at something  at the back of the boat .for five mins ...........then he tramped it back to the ramp

pity he saw the guys in uniform before he had tied up at the finger jetty ......his actions where incredibly suss

what he was doing who knows ??  but you just never know when you might get checked

Hi guys,just joined this forum and thought I would say hi.

I live in Busselton and love my fishing so hopefully I can put up a few new pics soon.

Hi people, have any guys out there used braid on an Alvey, I have always used mono, but want to use braid and was wondering about any issues?

Thanks 

 Whats your fave plastic? Brand, size, style, color?  What do you target, and what size jig heads do you use. 

Ive got a heap of gulp! But thinking of changing to snapbacks for longevity. My favorite ones are the jerk minnows in the 4" range. 

 Hey just arrived on Rotto was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on good tailor haunts? Tried ricey beach this morning with no luck - any advise would be helpful cheers

Hey fishwreckers just wondering if any of you are based or have gone through any of the 3 areas mentioned. Been hanging out for another fishing trip up there but the weather the last week has really hampered my opportunities. Is it really as bad as the weather reports say?? Is it really blowing hard on the coast?

Any info would be great as i'm busting to get out there for some landbased fishing.

cheers!

Hi all,

So im going out charter fishing this weekend with a few mates on charter boat. Can anyone tell me how they been going on Mills charter lately... Looking at an overcrowed boat of about 28 people at the moment unless a few more people go and they may take both boats out which will be fantastic!

Have read some older post which states some dissapoiting things in regards to bait etc etc.... So have decided to bring my own bait. Also do they provide any good hooks or isit best to provide my own hooks. Being the first time i fish for Dhufish would love to be one of the first 6 people to catch one so i can take it home so as much help would be appreciated in preparing for the charter.

Would you also recommend using braid or mono in depths of 80 - 100 meters and what lb line would you recommend. Currently have a 30lb reel spooled with mono. Is this enough or am i going to be in trouble :/

Currently taking:

15-24 kg boat rod

2 x reel (1 spooled with 30 lb and the other with 50 lb)

A block of mulies

A box of squid

4 x Premade rigs with Gamakatsu circle hooks size 7

Anything else i may need? Would like to increase my chances to hooking something big. Was thinking of getting some fresh whiting for bait, but can't find them at the moment or if i do find them they are no bigger than 10 cm....

Cheers in advance.

Gday Coming to Perth on the 9th of this month leaving on the 20th got a few reels that need servicing z30 saltiga , tld 15 ,daiwa slt 30 ,3500hd custom certate, calcutta 400, also a couple eyelets toi be redone on a couple rods anyone keen or knows someone whos keen pm me cheers in advanvce.

So stoked to finally get myself a fishing buddy for life today with the birth of my first and only son, Jase. (already got 2 girls and 3 kids is enough!) Can't wait to take him out for a fish and teach him all the things a dad should. Now to start buying him some gear!!!

Aluminium 90 deg angle - required for a slight boat modification.  Anyone know where I can buy about a metre length?  I want to use it to mount some vertical rod holders onto the side pockets immediately behind the seats to store rods (in leiu of a rocket launcher setup), but i need to extend my side pocket depth down towards the floor so i can lower the mounting points of the holders.  i am thinking i will mount the angle on the bottom of the side pocket so the side is flush with the side of the pocket, and then mount the holders as low as possible.  does that make sense?

hey everyone i am heading out to a couple of secert king george whititng and occy spots on friday and then out to covs, i will be mainly diving to start with and will only keep what i shoot. now my question is, if i want to fish coventries ( strictly catch and realse) what sort of fish can i expect? i don't mind putting back dhuies and pinkies if on rod, aslong as i have fun catching them. so any tips or spots near there worth trying? if you dont want to tell anyone your secret or tricks of the trade you can pm if you have any helpful hints, in return i will give you my king george whiting spot ( you wont belive how big they are and how many there are).

Also anyone heading out there? ill be diving it for the ussualy kingys and attempt for baldies and breaksea. and i have seen and shot macks there before so ill try get one of them to come in if they are there. ill let you all know how i go :) good luck to everyong else heading out, happy hunting

 Hi all, been looking at the wind forecast for the rest of the week, and it doesn't look the best but really want to get out there, say to the 35 - 40m mark.

 What has it been like out there for those who have ventured out, as I read on here that seabreeze has had it wrong last 2 days.

 Would it be lumpy out there and worth getting out for?

 Cheers, and thanks in advance.

with the Tld 25 i got a little bottle of oil, but dont know where to put it. theres little holes on the side, im thinking it goes in there, anyone know where or what to do with it??

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if the latest of these reels come with a second spool?

Cheers, Nick.
