Hi Guys

I am looking at a new combo for high speen spinning off the rocks at quobba/steep on a pe4-6 rod

so far in my budget i have come across the shimano saragosa 18000F vs the Daiwa Saltist 6500 and I am having a tough time deciding the saltist has a better ratio 6:2:1 saragosa has 4:9:1 the saltist winds 134 cm per rotation and saragosa 104cm the satist has 30kg of drag and the saragosa.
On paper the saltist looks better with a faster retrieve but i have heard the sargosa may me tougher especially when my target species are mackies.
anyone used these and recomend one over another
thanks

Hey everyone,

Im looking to do some fishing up towards Jurian/Cervantes this weekend. I will be taking my 5.5m tiny up targeting the usual bottom fish hoping to get onto a dhu or two. It will be my first time up there so just looking for a bit of advice on the area. Ramps? Dangerous reefs? Good depths to find ground? etc etc

Any advice would be great!

Cheers

Hi all, I am looking at buying a 22' trophy walk around with a 175 merc verado on the back. Dont really know that much about either, so i just looking for a few pros & cons and or some general advice on what to be looking for, its a 06 model with 53 hours on the motor so they tell me?
Thanks
Jay.

I was interested to see that the young American sailor was rescued by a French research boat several days ago approx 3000kms of our coast, my question is what happens the the damaged yacht, does it get scuttled and sink or do they leave it to float around and maybe wash up some where ??

You'd reckon that with the convoluted laws regarding the Shark Bay Pink Snapper fishery that a bit more information would be available online. The Denham Sound regs state a daily limit of 1 fish with a slot size between 500-700mm per day with a total allowable catch of 15 tonne for the Denham Sound fishery. But good luck trying to find any info as to whether that TAC has been achieved yet this year or in years past. It's a bloody minefield. But I guess that's what they were trying to achieve, make it too damn hard to keep any fish.

Evening all,

Got a couple of days off work and i'm planning to go out on another fishing expedition in search of the big greenbacks.

Tried Two Rocks last week and managed one decent sized fish on a Halco Twisty, but was thinking about going a bit closer to home this time round.

Was thinking of trying Floreat Drain or maybe Cottesloe Groyne, haven't fished these areas really but with high tide at 10am and a bit of weather around thought it might be worth a go.

Has anyone fished either of these spots recently on the early morning tide? Would be interested to find out how you went.

Cheers Simmo

thinking of going to wagoe this weekend as conditions are looking pretty good.
only thing is cant find anyone available to go!
wouldn't mind going on my own if i knew someone up there i could fish with, otherwise i'l be leaving friday afternoon and there's a spare seat if someone wants to go give me a pm

Hey Everyone,

Just have a question about the weather there at this time of year. Will be there in a couple weeks and have heard its pretty exsposed to easterlies that come through this time of year. If this is the case, what are the options as to avoiding the east winds and how far away are different boat ramps etc... to launch at, We have endured a fair bit of weather in Exmouth atm and really dont want to cop it at Pt Samson again,

any info much appreciated,

I have had a few enquiries as to the setup I am using for the UW photos.

I am currently using a Canon EOS5D mark II camera.
I have 2 lenses at present for this camera and they are a Canon 100mm Macro f/2, and also a Canon 17-40mm f/4L. Most of the pics are with the 17-40mm lens. Hope to get a couple more soon.

For the housing it is an Ikelite housing and I have an 8inch dome port for wide angle stuff and also the modular flat port for the macro.

Lighting is from a TTL strobe and again is Ikelite (DS160) but I am waiting for some improvement in the Aus$ so I can get another and then have dual strobes.

As for locations for the latest lot of pics they are all from the last Exmouth trip just gone.

Cheers

just wondering what people have found to be the best burley for snapper and how much or what rate to set up a good burley trail. I have tried a mixture of mulie,chook pellets, oil,fish bits etc but cant seem to bring around snapper, only spastic wrasse and shit reef fish.Help.

i see there's braid and there's fire-line

now my quest is how much line should i put on a reel its not fancy reels

if i could aford real nice gear i would have it

what im wondering is 30lb fireline comes in 125 yards is this enough for a line if im right thats about 110 meters

I recently spent 5 days with two mates prospecting north of Sandstone. We didnt find much gold but we had a ball.The temps were about 26 in the day and 18 at night. It was amazing to sleep under the stars and watch the satellites passing over.Late one afternoon on the way back to camp we saw a mob of goats.I jumped out of the car,grabbed the rifle,6 rounds and the GPS.The goats were off and so was I. I chased the buggers for about a k before I found cover and a decent range.I picked the smallest and dropped it with a chest shot. By now its getting dark so I unloaded the rifle and used the GPS get back to camp with the goat.The next night we created a really good goat pasta dish.
Most importantly, the ice box held ice for 5 days; COLD BEER!Icant wait to get back there. cheers Pete.

Saturday Session back of GI.....a little rough but worth it. Released 4 45cm foxs, 2 pinkies and for Dave yet another 48cm dhui! Caught a 56 cm pinkie but didn't take the pic. Did take the pic of this 60cm King George who gave me a great fight all the way to the boat and then some.

went out last night with the missus and daughter for some prawning in the river followed by some squidding,got home around 1 am and left the boat on the back of our car on our steep driveway to drain the water out overnight.went out this am to clean boat and put it away only to find all my fishing gear gone!! some junkie peice of crap obviously decided they needed it more than me!! i am devastated i bought all my stuff with inheritance money from my nan! yes i am an idiot for leaving it in the boat! i thought our quiet cul-de-sac was just that quiet!! and my stuff would be safe for a few hours. boy was i wrong!! anyway im asking for help from my fellow fishers could you guys please keep your eyes out at hock shops ect for an xoga jigging rod with saltist reel,a red light bream rod(cant remember make but not cheap graphite rod) with pflueger illusion reel and my tackle bag a red pflueger supreme tackle bag with all my terminal tacke rigs,jigs,lures and all my hooks lip grips knives ect.. thanks everyone yep i ticked right off its not so much the money value but more that i considered all this stuff my nans last gift to me and i thanked her everytime i fished!! thankfully the bourbon is helping and i never expect to see any of this stuff again but hey u never know!! i live in the clifton hills area (kelmscott hills)yeah yeah lol ,and now i dont think i even own a hook lol so donations welcome lol

This is just an idea,
the adds in the latest for sale /buy forum seam to be very old. tTo me it would make sence to remove the old adds.
Or the adds that the items have been sold, this would keep the latest for sale/buy forum more up to date.

I do not what to bitch as the site is the best fishing site i have joined. The only reason for this forum is that i found an add that i was interested in but later found out that the add was over 2 years old.

thank guys

Hey guys, how can you tell what size your photos are going to come out when you submit them. More importantly, how do you make them smaller cheers Pete.

after last night i thought id have another crack at a bigger snapper.
chaos at the ramp with a few idiots thrown in was not a great start but after 10 min we were off at roughly 230.
got to the spot were the skippy were thick as theives boating 15 between myself and carly all released then the juvi pinks mooved in nailing 10 or so of them aswell by this time it was getting dark and hopes were fading of the big pink from the tinny... then zzzzzzzzzzzz of went both rods at once giving us false hope as they were 2 snook both round 90cm long . 10 minustes went by without a sniff then it was on again both rods agressivly hooked up to shallow water freight trains rusult = carlys snapper seen then reefed DOH and mine landed at 80 cm this was a better fish than last night and we were stoked.

I don't like how mono lines degrade, and i'm switching to braid (15lb) on a 4000 size reel. I want 300m for about $50 (i know it's pretty tight) and i would like any advice on brands ect.

Got down to Garratt Road Bridge this morning at about 9:30 much later than i hoped but a series of unfortunate events occured.
Fishing with my trusty 10lb Shimano Alivio combo was getting bites early but no takes.
Then hook up with one and got 2 in 5 minutes ( 28 cm and 29cm )

Then a bit later a boat was comin through so i thought i better stand back so the wake doesnt get me and as i stepped back a hungry bream took it and that was around 28cm.

I also got busted of by another when my bait was right next to the pylon.

Not bad fun for 2hrs worth
with some nice plump bream :D

Birthday is coming up and a new reel is on the wish list... just not sure exactly what to ask for. Want a 4000 size reel to use as a soft plastic / jig / spin outfit. Only have a budget of about $250 so was thinking either a Stradic or Saragosa as I have both reels in different sizes and like them. Anyone have one of these in the 4000 size? Or other reels to look at? I'm quite a shimano lover tho :)
Also a cheapish rod to match up?

im looking for a good spot to take the kids

and going from the rocks isnt the safest for them

any one willing to share a few good beach or jetty spots

thank you
