Hi all, 

I was wondering if anyone had an any adviceto help out. Never fished there before. We will be shore based and have a few days to try and catch something decent. I would really appreciate any spots, rigs etc....

Thanks

Went to GI and 5 fathom bank today, targetting snapper and dhufish but haven't been able to get any due to lack of knowledge and spots. Got a few little skippy and hooked a massive eagle ray which went crazy putting on an awesome areobatic performance. Released well after a good fight.

Interestingly, hooked a little whiting which was about 3m from the boat when it got hammered and proceded to get mauled by a metre long spaniard or small shark. I cannot confirm which one it was but it was big and burnt through my 7kg braid which broke when it hit the motor. Was in about 12m of water on the edge of 5 fathom

Also saw Steve from Fishing WA at the Cockburn Members Ramp launching a 680 Haines Patriot with a big 300hp Yamaha on the back.

Anyone else go out and how'd you go?

Hi all

can anybody help me with the latest address for the web cam at the navy pier exmouth, none of the addressess I've  tried work.

any help most gratfully appreciated

Currently working at Hungry Jack's but looking for a new job, preferably a tackle shop or to do with fishing/boating, but if you know or have a job available send a message my way, im 15, very enthusiastic and a really hard worker, I know quite a bit about fishing and boating but im more than happy to put in time to learn anything i dont know, am also happy to come in and have a talk to the manager whenever possible. I have been looking for a new job for a while now, riding around to shops handing out resumes, applying for all sorts of jobs and i thought putting an ad on here would hopefully help me as a last resort

Thanks, Nick

The imagination is limitless...

Hi all

Here's a followup from my previous thread regarding the sounder pics I posted, seeking clarification of caves and ledges, etc. Today my daughter and I ventured out to the same site and went for a dive to check out what was down there. 

I took a photo of the sounder image before we went over the side, but unfortunately somewhere between me going over the side and collecting the rest of my gear hanging on the lanyard, I've dropped my camera and housing. I had my arm through the strap that's attached to the housing but somehow it's come off my arm. As I wasn't sure whether it would float or sink, my first thought was to look on the bottom, 12m below. The vis was really good but the bottom was rocky and lumpy and covered with weed and we never found it. I went back to the surface for another look, but no luck there....bugger. It was a Sea and Sea 1200HD digital camera and housing.....only had a few photos on it because I download the pics every time I take photos, so I haven't lost the pics, just the camera and housing.

The ground I took the original sounder pics on, consists of deep trenches, high walls and overhanging ledges, with a few full on caves thrown in.

Once I've replaced the camera, I'll get back there and take some more photos.

We only saw a couple of sized crays and a few kackas, but they were hiding way back under the ledges, well out of snare range. Did see a big KG whiting, but he wasn't hanging around.

Hope all those who ventured out today had a better day than me.

regards

 Hi all, my brother has a relative over from South Africa and he wants to go out fishing on the boat. Tommorrow is his only available day but the wind forecast doesn't look the best.  What would your do? Would you go out , maybe to the 35m mark or would it be shit out there?  Cheers.

Heading down tomorrow night on the boat but no idea what streach of the bay to moore. whats the best spot down there?

This morning I was close to cleaned up by an 60-80 metre yacht 13km's north of preston beach about 400 metres offshore, sitting achored in my yak for about an hour or more before a frinking idiot in a bloody big yacht decided to see how close to me he could get to me, lined me up from a mile off missed my rudder by a metre but collected my anchor rope and took me for a ride before it dislodged. I am lucky I am not dead this was definitely deliberate I have a yellow malibu wearing a red life jacket. Some people are just plain stupid............

Took a snap of this strange pair of fishies at the markets.

Anyone out there got a ID on them???

Hi Guys,

I'm chasing some advice on what would be a good match to a Saltiga 20 reel. 

I'm wanting to use it mainly for bottom bouncing and jigging. Something mid range, with a bit of bend to it. I'll be using 30 pound braid.

Cheers.

heading out from woodies once i can get someone else, one mates in nz the others in broome the others at work and i guess the others passed out in a gutter somewhere...    

anyone keen?     hitting mewstones, gi and a few lumps...  

 Anyone out tomorrow weather dosent look to shabby

Down at my local lake there is thousands of these little fish i have been catching for my barras, thought they were tadpoles but got them home and they look exactly like baby guppies

question is, can guppies survive in a lake or would it get too cold? or is it some sort of other feeder fish, will try get a photo of them to post up.

 Hi all, I'm off to busso tomorrow for the week. Whats been biting down that way, are there any crabsand squid around at the moment.  Hope all had a Great Xmas and an even better new year.

Has anyone been to the Perth or Jurien FADS recently? If so, did you catch anything and did you notice the water temp?....thanks
