i have a bluerose B5315Si just want to know what kilo rod this is as i have heard different things?

Hey guys bought some Berkley 100 pound flurocarbon leader for jigging tommorow and when i pull it tight with my gloves or what ever it strings off a bit like it peels. Not a whole lot but still i have never used flurocarbon leader so im not sure if its normal or not? Is it very weak out of the water or what is it?

were thinking of heading to cockburn tomorrow take the dinghy out but it will take a good 1.5 hrs to get there just wanted to know what fish are being caught and if they jump on the hooks as fish seem to steer clear of mine.

any info would be sweet and also if it would be a good day on the water (still learning about tides n swell)

thanks guys/girls

Hi Guys,

Im so excited that i just purchased my first fishing reel. I got a Shimano FX2500 and got it at a really cheap price.

I have a Jarvis Walker devil rod to match it up with, i am so excited about using it.

I would like to catch my first herring on my new outfit, have you guys got any tips for me?

Thanks guys,

Reuben

In todays (30-10-10) West Australian Newspaper, Glen Jakovich talks about the Demersal closure and the rules and penalties for breaches. The following is taken directly from the artical.....

" If any fishos are found trying to catch these species during the closure period they could face a $400 infringement notice, regardless of whether or not they have caught a fish".....so I guess this means that you can not even catch and release these species????

giday,

Im chasing a good quality , good condition handheld vhf for my rib so if anyone is wanting to part with one for whatever reason drop me a pm

cheers

Now is your chance fishos,

I'm looking to reduce the postage bill on a few jigs, if you're making an order soon and you're keen to split the freight bill let me know.  If you're SOR it would be ideal...

If not I'll be making an order in the next few days so happy for any late decision makers to tag along on the order too.

Went to penguin island today . Fished the western side off the reef and caught this shark. Anyone know what it is? Im thinking leopard shark? I released it unharmed :)

Heading there next year for four weeks and want to stay in a fishing lodge - there are plenty of them - anyone been there and, if so any recommendations (or otherwise)

Enjoy

If you could use 1 halco lure for the rest of your life what would it be??

Having never been sambo jigging before im heading out soon after winning a competition aboard Mills Charters

Just a few questions:

1) What brand and size jigs do Mills or other companies use?
2) How much do the charter companies charge for replacement?
3) is it worth buying your own jigs and bringing them along?
4) what jigs (brand and weight) are affordable but reliable on sambos that come with pre-tied assist hooks?

Cheers in advance for ya replies

hi everyone, im new here,  looked on your site a number of times but never joined, but i just had an experience that i had to share, it prob has been talked about on here before but i ordered a lowrance hds7 from wmj marine in the US, seemed a pretty good deal at $1000, $600 cheaper than in aus, add the card for all of aus for another $280  and still looking good.   now here is the tricky part,  you can get it sent via united states postal service for around $60 and it takes 4 weeks or so, or for $170 you can get fedex to send it quicker,  still about 2 weeks.

what they dont tell you is that once any package arrives in aus that is worth more than $1000 US  you have to pay customs taxes,  which includes gst and fees.   and that customs tax for my unit was $200,  so all up now this cheap looking package from overseas is really not worth the wait, still cheaper than aus but for all the stuffing around i wouldnt bother again,  i really should have supported local business.

what got me the most is the excessive customs tax, i had no idea about that and wmj never told me, of course, which pissed me off,  i emailed them and they said that next time they can write down the value to less than $1000, and i responded saying there wont be a next time and it would have been nice to know about this extra costs they knew about.

anyways i just thought id let you guys know in case your thinking of taking advantage of the good aussie dollar!!

i get the hds7 early next week so hopefully it does ok,  not sure what happens with the warranty seeing as the unit is from the us.

take it easy

What is your Favorite Fish to Eat?

What is your Favorite Fish to Catch?

I want to know... how has everyone's river fishing gone lately. I havent fished in the Swan for about 5 months

and I really want to get a cracker fish on my new Luvias 2000 and Heartland XA 4-8lb rod. Hopefully I can nail

a few. Thanks Brody for spooling her up. Thanks for your input guys.

What do you like better to use?? Mulies or Scalies??

hey guys.

was wondering what every one would recomend for me. I am wanting a nice popping rod for up north, but that is also semi versitile so could be useed in other situations if i had to. atm i hav a shimano twinpower 4000 on a t-curve  salt water spin 5-10 kg but am after a heavier out fit. also a reel 2 match it. was thinking twinpower  10,000 SW on a monster mesh, gt special or (if my parents let me) a ripple fisher. any suggestions?

cheers, tom

Can anyone tell me how good the team daiwa tierra is?? I know about the stradics, was wondering what the daiwa equivelant would be and stumbled across the tierra.

Cheers

A mate and I went wading on the 18/10/10 on the flats on the freeway side upstream on the canning bridge.
Was a great morning , massacred by blowies, saw one decent Flathead which saw us before we saw it and didnt catch any decent fish.
Saw many blue Manna crabs of which 2 pairs where mating, good signs for the future.
Also saw schools of mullet, was a perfect morning for fishing with 0 fish caught :P
Then travelled to Canning bridge were there where masses of bream schools of 70 +.
Mostly aroung 22-25cms but some 30+cm were seen and a couple of monsters.
These bream would not take any bait, lure or plastic a good morning none-the-less

Cheers Duffman

Just got my new order of jigs!!! have to say the mangrove studio wipeout looks the goods!!

gotta love the strong dollar!

Where can i catch these little beauties in rockingham, i heard you can at warnbro beach.

im heading there tonight so ill let you all know how i go!

I am a recent new member and sponsor with our polarised sunnies, I love my fishing ! mainly estuary for mulloway or bream and crabs here on the Hawkesbury River ,Sydney. The variety and size of the fish you guys get is amazing. We sponsored a couple of gamefish tournaments over last summer, at Port Stephens in Feb where 55 boats tagged and released 114 marlin over 2 days and Sydney in May where the YFT were on the chew !
