Going to Cervantes for new years were is the best spot to LB fish and what are you most likely to catch

Put my two cray pots in for my first time cray fishing near the 3 mile yesterday, today pulled the pots and nothing in the first one and the second one had the bait lid missing and a broken slat with a jagged edge, dont believe any sea creature could of done this anyone have the same thing happen to them?

Hey guys really curious about the Berkley SW Dropshot IM6 Series Two model , any advice or knowledge about the rod as i am seriously thinking of purchasing one for my Plueger Torsion 80 reel ( ,mainly bottom bouncing / even a jig outfit) which I have gotten for christmas ( not allowed to have it until christmas ). Cheers .

Took the family out on the boat for a beautiful morning in the sound close to Garden Island. It was slow first up and only managed one decant squid after moving around a little.

Found a little 6 foot hammerhead cruising around on the surface which we followed for a while before he got annoyed of us.
We then anchored and burlied up a little and soon had a frenzy of herring behind the boat. They were solid herring too and great fun on the light gear. I was being outfished by the better half until something solid hit my tiny piece of squid and had the little stradic screaming. I called it for a snapper after some solid head shaking and good runs but after 5 mins it started to feel a lot like a ray with the way it was pulling. It wasn't till a good 10 mins had gone that we got a look at it, a solid pinky! Couldn't believe it, fishing for herring and I hook a nice snapper, a few days before the ban ends! We boated it for a quick photo and just as we got it onboard that friendly dolphin came up to say hello.


It was a great fish and was quickly released over the otherside of the boat from the dolphin and I hope he made it away ok as the dolphin dissapeared just after in the same direction.
Soon after I had another solid hookup that busted me off a second later, possibly another snapper. Might have to return to this spot after the ban is off and actually send down some appropriate baits.
We ended up with a couple dozen nice herring and 1 lone skippy for our efforts. What an awesome day out. Also saw a little penquin cruising around on the way home in the chop... funny little guys.

just thought i'd drop a line to all my fellow fishwreckedians in regards to todays wonderful boatign adventure with heks-

decided on leeuwin ramps, dunno why my mate paid for parking so its all good, that place is absolutely chockers tho. glad they dont all go to cockburn.. coz then itd be chockers down there..

anyway, boat in water. engine dont start, heks get frustrated. boat goes back on trailer heks goes home to indulge in beer and have a play with it to try work it out..

turns out the gaffer tape from last weeks adventure had decided to become lose,.. bolted connections back on. starts first time, i have another beer and yell at it abit... boat is washed, in the driveway and im having imaginary crayfish for dinner. WOOOO

on a side note- seems its blowing a bit more smoke than usual- when the mate gets back (this week) i told him its going in for a service, old man rekns might be too much oil going into the fuel- its auto mix job - can the ratio get out of whack? a service should clear up these issues yer?

anyways, hope you all have better luck than me.. im gettin sick of this boat.. :P ill be lookign for deckie spots from now on- work finishes for me on the 15th so anyone heading out any time anywhere with need of a deckie with a cray ticket and rfbl- please give me a hoy- got my own gear will chip in for fuel and all that jazz - i just want to go on a boat that doesnt have issues for once...

cheers, Dwayne

Bought myself a Saragosa 18000F, loaded with 50lb daiwa braid on a 20-30kilo popping rod for christmass!!! gonna get into some big GTs and stuff up at Exy this holidays.

what is everyone else getting them selves, or what is everyone getting from others?
cheers,

Anyone been crabbing in the river recently ?

and the sound will be open for crabs again!

Dusted off the snorkelling gear this morning and got it all ready for season opening dive on Wednesday after work. So cant wait for a good paddle.

Hi all

Yesterday my daughter and I ventured out from the Dawesville Cut to check out a couple of potential demersal sites for the upcoming season starting next Thursday. While the winds were light ESE, the waves were SW and a little bit lumpy.
After finding our first 'spot', it didn't take long for her to start feeling the effects of the 'rolling of the boat' and the next thing I know, she's 'over the side'...I know it's not funny, but it's amazing how quickly others can feel sick, once they see someone else sick.
We never got to check out spots 2 and 3, as we headed back in...no fun out there when you're not feeling well!!

What are your recommendations for combating the effects of seasickness...I'm guessing the tablets available from most chemists all do a similar job.

Thanks in advance of your help.

having my swim exercise yesterday off the beach at hillarys about 20 metres off the shore when a see this huge black shape coming towards me real fast, it was a huge seal from seal island I guess,scared the crap out of me,we swam around abit eyeballing each other when he left and I continued on.

Hey Guys,

I am really addicted to fishing i was wondering if i could get a job on a fishing boat or charter boat will work for lowish pay like $9-15 per hour i am 14 years old but i can PM a resume if job offered. Have a little bit of fishing experience and i am eager to learn more about fishing. Seriously any jobs to do with fishing i will work but as long as its payed or just a share of the cath but would prefere cash or even half of each. Please i REALLY need a job but i love fishing so i would love to get into a job to do with fishing.

Just got a disturbing call that our resident hedland local just beat his PB of 112 by 5cm. Stay tuned!

headed out to day for a jigg of the back of rotto we tried the norht , south ,middle barges nothing there was four charters around us and not one of the costomers were hooked up, we then headed to the hillaries container first drop got smoked, went around to have another drift and came around about 6 bronzies swimming around on the surface was awsome.
i will try and post the video footage oof the group of bronzies

G'day all, its gonna sound pretty bad.. but ive never used soft plastics -

just grabbed some and wondering how to rig them?

im guessing like a lure, u are only fishing one at a time? is it just plastic on jig head and go fishing?

cheers, dwayne

what depth are the pros targetting the whites at now? All my spots are full of undersized reds now

Hi guys is any one doing a 7 day charter with blue lighting charters next session at the montes next. we did one the this year and was told they dont do 7 days any more.

Hey all

Just letting you all know that we have just recieved the brand new 5in mcarthy paddle tails in. They look great compared to the 6in and are perfect for guys that are wanting just a slightly smaller lure in a paddle. heres a pic to compare.

Also we have just got a last run of 10in minnows in stock in all 3 colours so be quick before these sell out AGAIN!

does anybody know anything about a 1976 volvo penta leg 240h/p.

just want to know if the pawl for lifting the leg up can be used to trim the boat as well, or will it cause damage?

have had two differant stories already.
ones says it is only for lifting the motor up in sallow water and for traveling.

thanks ron

Hey guys, I've been talking with some mates who are keen on camping 27th-29th December. They are pretty set on Sandy Cape just north of Jurien. I've been there and reckon it's a great spot, however I've been led to believe that school holidays, public holidays, and especially around Xmas time is completely packed out.

So, can anybody comment on whether or not arriving on the 27th would be a waste of time? I have a feeling just about everything within 3 hours of Perth will be choccas! Or does anybody have any other ideas? Would help if there's a dunny but we may not have a choice.
Cheers

Looks like this year the sambos are going to be a non event. Went out last week and sounded average looking spread out schools of fish. When a half decent school were located they wern't hitting jigs. Had two hook ups and got smoked, rekon I had hooked sharks. Maybe they will aggregate in larger numbers late this year or maybe the fishery is screwed!This time last year we were counting how many triple hook ups we could land!

Going to Cervantes for new years were is the best spot to LB fish and what are you most likely to catch

great night out with the wife, something we dont get to do very often.

Scooter moped for sale..near new condition only done 116 ks

Any one happen to have a few (3) spots available on sunday??

Keen for a jig, shark or watever.... Give us a shout if u need to fill ur boat/charter.

Can we go fishing on the 15th December, or do we have to wait for the 16th?

Enjoy

hi i have been fishing down hillarys boat harbour for a while now and i have caught a 27cm bream, blowies (extremely rare) lol, flathead and herring but they are all soooooo small does anyone know any fishing spots near hillarys probably about 10kms away from hillarys and what you have caught there also what rigs and bait you have used?

So guys. if i have a stella 20000sw and lock it up. does that mean i have the 20kg ( or whatever ) pressure that is reccomended.

Similar to any reel that states the maximum drag  ?
