check out the west australian the fishing section! good to see someone saying that us as fishermen are doing a good job with the fish stocks!! saying that we have accepted tight bag limits and closed seasons and its doing the job! i havent got the paper so i cant scan and post it!

Hi all deciding to take the boat down to Dunsborough on the Easter holidays.

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to what is the best petrol station and boat ramp people use to launch large boats. Also what is the busiest part of the day at the ramp.

I haven't fish Dunsborough before and wondering if there any channels that you have to follow out or any reefs to watch out for. I will be looking at the charts before heading out.

Lastly what areas or depths do people fish at to catch their Dhuis and snapper if you don't mind sharing.

Cheers

Frank

Hey guys, just got a new inflatable boat about 3.2m long and apparently no one at bcf knows what weight anchor i will need.

Could anyone help me?? will just be for the river, or close to the beach for fishing.

Thanks,

Mitch

 hey, today im going fishing but dont no where to go and i've heard that ocean reef marina is a good place, its windy and im wondering if thats a sheltered place or try sumwhere else

Most of my fishing these days is with soft plastics. With Jig heads at $3 a pop , Ive decided to make my own. I got this lot for $100, and can make Jig heads of 1,  1.5,  2,  2.5  and  3 oz. Shipping time from the US was 8 days. cheers Pete

Hi all

saw this and I had to share

http://www.exploroz.com/Forum/Topic/84892/Fishing_at_its_best.aspx?ky&p=%2FForum%2FDefault.aspx%3Fpn%3D1

its about silver carp

Hey guys,

Ive been up in shark bay since sunday and had 3 days of good weather and have had some average luck finding fish out on the boat, but am keen to get into some of the larger size pinkies and blackies, but have only been been able to catch smaller fish, about 30cm.

Does anyone have tips to finding these fish in the bay, or better still any fish in the bay. I was thinking of launching at monkey mia on sunday and heading up to point peron to try around there, is this good fishing? Or a waste of time and fuel? Im up here with the family for another week and hope to start consistantley finding some decent fish. Any help will be much appreciated.

cheers rob

Finally got one guys, a 2008 3LT turbo diesel nissan patrol walkabout, here it is! Thanks for all your help.

Has any 1 caught much sharks after midnight and lately??

check out the front page and pages 4 and six!! its really starting to be a joke they report all this one sided crap!! they say they have a picture of a knife strapped to a blokes hip! but its a mobile phone!! its about time the herald smartend up and told both sides of the story!! 

 I bought a Lowrance HDS-5 for the ski but I have a bit of a dillema. As I dont use the ski just for fishing, but also for skiing and surfing, I want to be able to make the actual sounder monitor and transducer removable without too much hassle for when im using the ski for activities other than fishing. Another problem i have is where to attatch the trasducer bracket as I dont realy want to have anything drilled into the back end of the ski.

I'm thinking i might be able to attatch something to the back of the rod holder frame that goes into the water and the transducer bracket can connect to that.

Does anyone have any ideas on how im going to go about this and or somehwere that can install it for me as I'd rather have it done correctly the frst time. I would like to present a bunch of ideas to a fitter and see where we can go from there.. 

I will post up a picture soon of the back end of the jetski just to give you an idea as to what it looks like.

Thanks guys,

Beau

hey guys

Heading up to exmouth easter long weekend with the mrs , minus the boat this time  due to a trailer that needs more attention and time that i can give it at the moment so ive choosen not to take the risk and save any dramas on the long drive up from perth , but would love to get out for a fish on a boat if anyone has room for one that would be awersome will chip in for gas , bait , beer, help clean boat etc i have all my own gear and would be more that happy to fish any style, troll etc

thanks jimmy

ps even a landbased session and some brews would be wicked

Gday folks! Me and about 8 or 9 mates will be heading up north and staying at Warroora Station during, and 1 week after the Easter break. I was just wondering if anyone new what the wind conditions are usually like around that time of year?

A couple of lads and myself will have our kayaks with us, and we've also hired a 4.45 meter tinny for the duration of the holiday, so i was wondering if anyone has had success fishing from a kayak or a small tinny up there.

Also if anyone has stayed at Warroora (pronounced Warra) before, i'd love to know what you throught of the place.

Cheers

Ryan

Fresh YFT sashimi.....GOLD!

I have replaced guides on my cheaper gear plenty of times but this is the first time I have been working with a graphite blank. Normally I use a scalpel and cut through the epoxy and thread above the foot of the guide, remove the guide then peel of as much thread and epoxy from around the around the area as I can. The problem is there is always a few little (and sometimes not so little) bits of epoxy left stuck to the blank. Previously I have just picked it away with the scalpel or even used sandpaper before starting the underwrapping. But working with a graphite blank I want to be carefull about how I clean off this remaining epoxy.

Any ideas how to go about this without damaging the blank?

Thanks

checked out the ocean today and it is rough,my guess is the Macks are safe for a few days, there would be a few MIAs, have these big high tides turned them on, the walk on ramps at Hillarys this morning are under water. Looks like they will be safe for awhile according to seabreeze

the tackle stores and servos will be dissappointed

Hey guys,

Nearing the weekend, and have been thinking about live baits, casting from shore.

On a smaller live bait say, small whiting size, how would I go abouts baiting the fish onto a hook (or two) without killing the fish

I'd be targeting big tailor and stuff, and would like to know the best way to do it, and what size hooks should I use for tailor sized fish.

Thanks!

 checked their stomach content?I think you maybe surprised at what some of the "bait" schools that are holding deeper actually are.

Easter is only 2 weeks away. School holidays is also 2 weeks away.

Why not gear up now for your Easter long weekend adventure.

Massive savings and for a limited time.
