When will we see a large jetty pier built north of the river?
Submitted by tailor marc on Thu, 2011-10-13 15:24Its been an idea of mine for a while now but wouldnt know where to start to get the ball rolling or idea's into the heads of the polly's.
Picture this.... 1.5- 2klm jetty jutting out from say hillarys or mindari strait into dhui territory. Something very similer to busso jetty. This would generate $$$ in tourism and be one hell of a great fishing platform for us landbased guys.
There are a few nice jettys like ammo jetty,palm beach but these are all south of the river and you cant fish here without idots starting trouble or braking into your car at night.
Should we all get a partition going? I spose in backwards state this would be a pipe dream as the W.A gov loves raking the $$$ in but never wants to spend money.
Something like this would be sweet...
Its nice to dream..

How to choose a fishing charter
Submitted by VaSSagO on Wed, 2011-10-12 13:26I have been looking at fishing charters whilst on my honeymoon. Very keen to target some White Sturgeon fish from Vancouver and Swordfish from Miami.
All the charters are about the same price.
Not sure what I should be looking for when checking out their websites. Sure a flash boat is nice but really we are going to fish not to admire the boat.
Any ideas?

Fishing Collie
Submitted by Graeme76 on Tue, 2011-10-11 19:43I'm thinking of planning a trip down to Collie for the christmas holidays & was hoping people could give me an idea of waters that I'm allowed to fish in & the best techniques to use in the area? I'm only going to be down there for 3-5 days & will have the family in tow so my fishing time will be limited & I'd really like to maximise my chances.

Installing Furuno 585 and M260
Submitted by whipasswaverunner on Tue, 2011-10-11 12:43Hi all, I'm thinking about installing my new sounder and transducer myself. Is there anything I need to know in regards to cutting and installing box in back of boat.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, as I am handy but never fitted a tranny before and don't want to stuff it up.
The location for tranny is straightforward as the previous owner had a similar setup.
Does it matter what side the tranny is fitted for an in hull.
What do you use to stick down tranny outer box to hull, and some people said to use distilled water for the liquid inside? Don't really want to fibreglass it to the hull.
I don't want to ask too much, but if someone has installed these before, I would really appreciate it, if I could speak to them, so if you would like to help, please PM me.
Cheers.

Google data sucking thru Fishwrecked?
Submitted by smash on Mon, 2011-10-10 15:10Almost all the time I have Fishwrecked open, there is a little bar on the bottom right (the one which tells you "connecting to ++++" when you open something) which reads "transferring data to/from Google-analytics", when I am sitting idle on here?
I have never seen it on other websites-does anyone else have this?

advice for my pe6-8 o/h jigger
Submitted by Just1morecast on Mon, 2011-10-10 12:14Hey all,
Just recently I have been using a pe 3-5 overhead for jigging and really loving it. Just looking for some advice on what you think reel wise would be good for say the big sambos this season and if need be fishing out a little deeper if I get the chance.
I've tried searching the site but could only see recommendations for pe3 outfits. Just a few things I'd like to keep to, something light and say a budget of about $500 for the reel and round $300-350 rod wise. Also, If someones looking at selling something too in good condition rod or reel and has no use for it shoot me a pm I may be interested in making you some offers.
Thanks

Crays - Wooden or placcie
Submitted by terboz123 on Mon, 2011-10-10 09:56Hey guys
havn't been out since exxy which is depressing. F****** work taking my car off me for a different site. Soon enough i shall be back in the game. In regards to cray pots, what is everyones preference in terms of jarrah or placcies? I have just been given for placcies rigged and ready to go, but im tempted to sell two and possibly try two wood and two placcies (yes i know you need two fishing licenses on board for one boat to have foour pots.)...\
just keen to hear everyones opinions?

Inside a snapper's guts
Submitted by bradz on Sun, 2011-10-09 19:18Hey guys
I caught this snapper last night out on the 3 mile. Went about 7kg.
Anyway, while cleaning I checked out is stomach contents as per usual. I found a beak, which looked like a squid or cuttlfish beak. But it was bloody huge. Only just a bit smaller than a golf ball.
How big must the squid or cuttly have been to have a beak that big?
Cheers
Brad
