Todays New Session

Hey all,

as the Club Capricorn Shark bash is coming up soon i figured i would hit hillarys and find some buffys to stock up the freezer  with...

anywayz with a mate, matt (Fisherboy) and I went searching for new buffy territory! after scanning the water i found a very promising spot. after getting an ear ache from my mate consistently saying theres no fish, i had just hooked up and landed a buffy!!!

i started burleying up with some dough and along with the blowies came a SHIZ load of Zebra Fish and Buff Bream.

IN the end of 1 and a  half hours we had landed 15 fish, but only keeping 10, 1 buffy and 9 Zebbies!

we left them biting as we had to go...

we will return to "Secret Spot L"

ahaha

jigging today, nebraska

Hey guys went jigging today on nebraska charters. Went jigging in shallowish water close to rotto and got onto a few smaller sambos before heading out deep. We got deep and second drop i got hit hard followed by dreamtime(james) and now onto a double hook up of solid sambos. The sambos were tiring out and we could start to see colour before you guessed it.. we saw COLOUR haha sharked only metres before the boat. The sambo was a ripper would have easily been 40 plus kilo sambo and then same with james got sharked to another solid sambo. Will get pics of the half or more i got back big momma fulll of eggs devistating it was killed. Hanif got into some decent sambos to and boated them in one piece. His gf doing well with the jigging and hooking up on a few also. James jigged a tuna aswell with hanif getting one final sambo in the shallows and so then after that we headed in early, was blowin nutzz.

Recreational marina planned for Rous Head Harbour at Fremantle

Recreational marina planned for Rous Head Harbour at Fremantle

The proposed Rous Head Harbour marina at Fremantle is likely to include more than 100 boat pens and will also feature cafes, offices and tourism facilities.

Premier Colin Barnett today announced expressions of interest had been invited from the private sector for development proposals to create a vibrant new mixed-use marina.

“The provision of additional boat pens in this area was an election commitment of this Government to help meet the needs of recreational boat users,” Mr Barnett said.

“Demand for boat pens in the metropolitan area is strong and continues to grow - the Rous Head marina is an outstanding opportunity to create an attractive, well-located development to help meet this need.

“The marina plans are still very much at the conceptual stage, with some preliminary work done by Fremantle Ports and the Department of Transport on the kind of mixed-use facility that could be developed in this location.”

Onshore boat stacking facilities, a ferry terminal and commercial space for charter vessels will be considered in the development.

“Ensuring the proposed marina is compatible with Fremantle’s working port is essential and will be a key consideration in assessing proposals,” the Premier said.

Transport Minister Simon O’Brien said prospective developers would be encouraged to prepare their own innovative designs to balance the interests of Fremantle Ports, the State and the community.

Public access to North Mole and Rous Head Harbour would also be improved by a new road around land newly reclaimed as part of the Inner Harbour deepening.

Mr O’Brien said planning, cultural heritage and environmental approvals would be obtained for the marina project.

“Given the number of issues to be taken into account, community consultation will be important in progressing to the more detailed planning stage,” he said.

A call for Expressions of Interest will close on February 11, 2011.

Short-listed proponents will then detail their proposals for the development and operation of the marina and related facilities on a long-term lease basis.
