fishing before a storm

When I was a young fella I grew up in Freo.

When a good storm approached from the north it was always good fishing at the moles or ASI jetty,especially for snapper.

Im tempted to slip across to Mandurah tommorow before this cyclone turns up.Is it the same story fishing wise down there before a storm????

tomorrows weather

First Dhuy on a Soft Plastic

With no Clint on board today I managed my first Dhuy on a soft plastic. Was great fun on PE2 really gave the light combo a good work out.

Mate managed another two dhuys on bait while I was mucking around with mine.

Was another great day off Cape Nat. Home before lunch.

 


What is your preference and why? Trebles or singles...

Hey guys!! Havnt had a whole lot of experience trolling with lures (being from melbourne of course) and in June this year I will be pretty much fishing for two weeks in this fashion. I was wondering what your advice would be on how to set up my lures, treble or single hooks? I will mostly be using Laser Pro's, Xraps and stuff similar to that chasing Makerel, trevally, tuna and any other pelagic.

 

If i need to change to singles what are some suggestions on hooks.. brand and size?

 

Also, if i decide to stay with trebles should I upgrade the hooks already on the lures? Any suggestions for that would be great as well.

 

Thanks guys, look forward to your responce.

Denmark Accommodation

Hi.  Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with accommodation in Denmark.  Me and the missus are heading down for a wedding in late March and need a place to stay.  We haven't decided on whether we are taking our 2 boys (2 and 4) and maybe a babysitter or whether it will just be the two of us.  We are thinking maybe a holiday house or challet type thingo might be the go?  Hopefully I get a bit of time to throw a line in while I'm there.

pirate jigs

which of the three rings have had most sucess for you? I have used them couple times and put it through the opposite of the eye end (skinnier side) but im not sure which would work best.


? Reel Maintainence ?

being relativley new to fishing I have sensibly started out with lower priced equipment. I now have the bug for life and its time to indulge with a Saragosa 8000f.  Naturally  I want to keep this baby in good condition.

after fishing I thoroughly wash the reel in freshwater and leave to dry. 

Is there anything more i need to do on a regular basis to extend the life of the reel?

thanks

Bad News, Good News & Great News

A day after her husband disappeared while scuba diving, Mrs. Wilkins answered the door to be greeted by two policemen.

"Mrs. Wilkins we have some bad news, some pretty good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Fearing the worse, Mrs. Wilkins said, "Give me the bad news first."

The policeman said, "We found your husband’s body in the Bay this morning."

"OH MY GOD!" said Mrs. Wilkens overcome by emotion. "So what's the good news?"

"Well," said the policeman, "When we pulled him up he had two 5kg lobsters and 12 dozen good size crabs on him."

"So, what's the great news?" she asked.

The policeman replied "We're going to pull him up again tomorrow morning."

Peaceful bay the Story

Headed south for Peaceful Bay from Geralton several days before xmas, arrived at Peaceful to enjoy several weeks fishing with my younger brother and a few mates. After several days of rough weather we made it out into the bay and fished water just outside the point heading towards rams head. The sounder was alive with images of fish and the ground was all over the place ranging from 28 to 45m within several hundred metres. each drift produced fish with the species list increasing with every fish landed. The excitement of the first day was a Mako which decided to take a drift bait and deciding it was a plane spending more time in the air than the water. At around two metres we were glad to see it bite through the trace and head into the distance. each day out in the bay produced excellent fish and when the wind was in we fished the inlet catching some outstanding KGs and other estuary species. afternoons were spent diving for abs before retiring to the camp to relax with a few beers.

Think I will be heading down that way again next year.
