Hello people, these are some photos of my Lowrance HDS-10 after it rained the other day. In my profesional opinoin I would say that it is f#^*%# & throw it in the bin. Any other ideas?

in need to reload my bream reel and though id try some braid this time, heard from alot that wind knots and the devil. is this windtamer line pulling my leg or can someone else shine a light on it if its got the goods?

Got a nice haul of very fat sand whiting over at Rotto yesterday with my young bloke. It has been quite a while since I have had the humble whiting, chasing bigger prey like maccies and dhu etc for the past year....we only took a couple of flick sticks with us to Rotto for the long weekend as the wind was looking average, but on the way over in the tug we  went over a big school of susepcted whiting that lit up the sounder, even at 15 knots....we tested it later with a drop in the wind, and it went off. A fish every drop, and they were all a nice size, up near 30cm, terrific fun with the kids, and left after an hour as we  had a nice feed.  Unusual to have whiting school so densely...the sounder was even flicking the bottom up 5 metres every now and then thinking the top of the school was the bottom, they were so thick. Not seen that before outside Sambo's.

We just had them deep fried in tempura tonite....wow, cant recall enjoying fish as much, regardless of type. Absolutley excellent. Would rate them right up there!

Arrived here at 3pm. A trip with no incidents although I wont be taking Indean Ocean Drive again. The road north of Jurian is crap!

Weather here is crap. Easterlies and sunshine. It just gets me a bit excited.

Before dinner I had a quick fish at Chinamans. Baits getting hammered before dark. I managed 2 very undersized Tailor and 2 of the same Mulloway. About the size of decent Whiting. The river mouth seems to be a congragating place for the juveniles. In the morning I am getting up early and checking a few places south of the river mouth. The conditions are pefect for throwing anything without weight so let's hope the fish are around.

Went out on Sunday, and like most days pulled in some weed.

On this occasion, it was this rare kelpfish!

Couldn't believe the shape of it, so flattened it out between a coupla books, and now have a great new avatar!!

 Hey all tackle guru's.

I was wondering if you can purchase a Double handled E-GEE handle. I've never seen them in Australia but they look pretty cool so im wondering if you can get them here.

Has anyone used a double handled spinning reel? What did you think?

Cheers danno.

Hey everyonejust wondering what's happening with the bream lately, was getting atleast 5 sized ones in the swan a couple of weeks ago, now there's nothing, but the thing is, I've only ever taken 2 home? Is it the time of the year?
Cheers

Is it any good.??

Guys,

Looking at respooling my alvey reefmaster snapper winches, they both have old mono on them not really sure what it is or how strong.

Was thinking of maybe heading towards something like dacron, does anyone use this?? If you do what sort of LB rating, want to fish deep 250-300m mark.

Any other recommendations would be handy.

Cheers,

Anthony

hey every one i'm looking at really getting into lure fishing for bream in the swan and wanna get some decent gear to taget them

i want to bet a stella 100 or 2500 and dont know bout witcxh rod but also wanna load it with 6 lb braid. does any one have and help with braids as since i am more of a mono beach fisherman and dont really use braid off a beach. cheer for any help

hey guys after getting those 10,000 stellas im now after a 2500 i already got a 2500fd model and not sure  to get another one of them or a fe model any1 got a 2500fe what do u think of them compared to the fd

I'm going to exmouth and I wanted to take a light bottom bouncing outfit. I have a 6000 twin power and wanted a rod to suit. Something that can handle having a lead weight on the end of it fishing 50-80m of water.
Budget - I don't mind spending a bit of money but was hoping under the $500

Any rods you can recommend?

hey guys just wondering if anyone had any news on the swan prawns if they are running yet or not

Looking at buying a pe1 to 2 jig rod off the net. I want it to be around the 6 ft to 6, 6" length and around the 3 to 350 $ mark. any recommendations lads?

 Hey all.

Last night after finishing work i asked my mate if he was keen for late night squid in freo and he said yes. So i rigged up and got inthe car at 10 got to woodies at ten to 11 but it was way to windy there so a quick move to the boat harbour and started casting there. After a good 15mins of nothing i was getting bored as was my mate but i then hooked up to a solid 20cm squid that had a follower but it got spooked and swam off. i was just messing around with the other squid and i felt weight so i started winding in and nailed another 20cm squid followed by another 24cmish one.

It was then my mates turn to catch some and he nailed a 20cm one, follwed by 4 runts. I then caught a small one and he hooked some thing that looked to be a good squid but i then sore it was a fat brown blob and thought it was going to be a decent cuttlefish and as soon as the word left my mouth a fat angry cuttlefish was bought up on to the rocks. Few quick photos and was released. My mate then cast out again and hooked up solid only to drop it, this happened twice then he hooked a runt one in close. Hen then cast out and hooked up again this time setting the hooks and landing a Very decent squid of 28cm hood. In then finished it off with 3 more runts and a alright one. he finished off with 6 and i finshed off with 7 my unlucky/lucky number when squidding landbased metro. Finished fishing around 1:45 got home at 3 cleaned the squid defrosted in the shower and went to bed a happy man.

First of the night. 20cm.

Another 20cm squid i like the mraking in this one.

Angry cuttlefish.

My mate happy as with a runt.

My mate big squid, 28cm hood. RIP Yamashita Glow orange Man i loved that jig got me my personal best.

My mate super Happy with the big one.

Not a bad landbased haul if only it wasn't as cold.

The two biggest.

Thanks for reading 

Cheers danno

i,m interested to know who here reaches for the gaff before the net to land  their fish??

personally , i hate the gaff , and will try to avoid using it if at all possible , even when i'm intending to keep the fish.

i know you can still get half of a good fish into a decent size net and help with a tail lift.

This is what the ocean looks like @7.30am today, Sunday June 5!

Do not let another great boating/fishing day on a long weekend escape you because of inaccurate forecasts!

Have a great time and tight lines!

Hey guys, just wanting to know your thoughts on how accurate seebreeze is? I know weather is a little hard to predict sometimes but was just wondering if there is an alternative to this site so i can get a second opinion. Cheers

Hey guys I'm going to cockburn sound tomorrow just wondering what should I be looking for on the sounder? I'll be after whiting and squid, and also, what's a good website to look for weather? Cheers

for all you jiggers these are real cheap and have some very heavy ones for deep jigging if you dare

Cant see the dorkers beating hawthorn tomorrow.

5th place on the ladder. Big improvement on last year.

hi guys,

im heading to bali with the fam on the 25th of july, for a week, and was hoping to pick up a few cheap lures, jigs and anything else that tickles my fancy. I wont be looking at rods and reels as im not sure on what the quality is like over there.

can anyone help me out with places to finds some good tackle and how to get to them, buy a map and walk or taxi?

if you cant tell ive never been there before. ive also had a read of older posts on this subject, but havent seen anything on lures.

ill be sure to put up some pics and details of any good finds, once i get back.

cheers rob

Has anyone seen that Swordfish fishing show on Foxtel yet? I saw it today for the first time and was pretty sickened by it. They were pulling in huge billfish, harpooning them, some of the fish were already dead before getting them onboard due to suffercation i guess. The point were i turned it off was when a huge 400+ pound Marlin fought for it's life close to the boat for a few minutes until 1 of the fisherman harpooned and killed it. Pretty sad to see such a monster fish killed like that, it took 3 or 4 of them just to pull it on board.

I think it's a bit distasteful of Foxtel to air something like this in Australia. Hopefully it gets crap ratings and they pull it down. I definately won't be tuning in to it and may even write Foxtel about it.

The deadliest catch on the otherhand i can handle.

im goin out in my very small dingy tomorow around cockburn sound and was wondering if anyone could tell me  whats biting around there?

hey was just wonderig if any one has caught any barra latley. had a couple of runs last night but none landed. and tips on how to set the hook with these timid barra?

Going to e shed tonight, anybody else going?
