i must admit to prefering shimano gear as its pretty tough and knock about , but apart from daiwa , i've  not looked at, or owned , anything else.

which of the other makes turn out a great tough product that'll last. i like the look of okuma stuff and def jigging master (cheers brody ) but have no idea how it performs (<okuma   not jm). 

I'm currently doing my restricted coxswains (doing the proper thing when the course becomes available) and thought I'd do a bit of research to see how many people have qualifications above their RST, be it Coxswains, 5, 4 etc.  Also just wondering how difficult it becomes down the track, with the orals etc..  I guess it all comes down to who you have as your examiner?

hey guys heading down to the narrows bridge at friday night gonna take the big rod for a chance of a mullaway wat do u guys find the best bait is for mulla and does anyone know what the bream are fishing like down there ALSO whats the best lure for bream you guys are finding at the moment?

Has anybody had any luck fishing around the islands recently? Would it be worth trying for tailor and salmon outthe back of garden island? Are there still tuna aroud and how close do they come to the back of the islands? Sorry for being a pest, it's our first time going out there. Any tips and info would be great!

hi just after some info on fishing the blackwood river for black bream. Ive Never really fished it before so after some info on where in the river is a good place to start, also what lures are effective there softys, vibes or hardbodys. i will be in a boat.

Cheers Ethan

hi crew ,i was thinking of making a 50oz snapper sinker mould ,because they are hard to find,i was thinking of using plaster of paris,but was wondering if anybody has used plaster of paris to make sinker moulds or any other material?

Hi this weekend i am gunna try some flats fishing for bream and do not know whether to go the narrows or canning flats.

I will try soft plastics (sandworms, shrimp eg) but also be trying my first sx40 in the vampire colour and also a River2sea Baby rover (a walk the dog style)



Any comments, advice or recomendations of tackle, location eg

mums giving me a choice for my 16th birthday fly up to karratha and go out on a boat with my dad drive home back to perth fishing like all the way home OR!! getting my RST ?????

Hi all,

Despite baby being on the way, being the scoundrel I am, I've schemed a plan that will guarantee me some more fishing hours while the sun is still shining. A family picnic on the swan, friends and kids all welcome is just the ticket. All I need to do is find a great spot that has a playground and a nice patch of grass.

Hoping for a bit of a catch and release session for some bream and maybe flathead - depending on the spot - probably using some soft plastics or hb lures so the girls can have a bash without worrying about getting fish fingers.

Looking on the map, I'm thinking one of three spots:

- Canning River around Shelley, the reserve where there is a small jetty.

- Swan River, reserve opposite Ascot (near Garret Rd bridge).

- Swan River, Cracknell Park, near Gt Eastern & Polly Farmer intersection.

Wandering if anyone can make a recommendation on the three spots - also whether to expect anything other than bream that far up the Swan or flathead in that stretch of the Canning?

Thanks,

Buschy

it has happened to us all at some stage but it hurts none the less,after saving and scrimping all the money i could i finally got onto a fishing charter out of exmouth tomorrow only to be told the trip was cancelled as i was the only one booked arghh!!!so i now have permission to go land based fishing by myself tomorrow any help on some spots would be greatly appreciated,i am now going to go through the archives if i can see through my tears.

hi

im going to get a bream rod and reel for my birth the 200 dollar mark i probably wull get a shimano mexican fire rod but not sure about the reel 1000? what would u get i like the shimano stufff?

Hi guys just wondering how you would go about tying long shank size 8 hooks back to back. Seen it being used on a fishing show and wanted to know how it was done. The guy was catching herring.

Cheers Darren

Is the shark population decreasing as the boffins would have us believe ........or are they on the increase ?

i'm chasing any thoughts on a good value for quality rod reel outfit that i can use bottom bouncing ffb and occasionly casting.I have my penn and shimano overheads loaded up with braid that i use for out deep but just seems overkill when fishing shallower water any advice would be appreciated ie kg rating of rod line class etc thanks.

Looking at doing the Montes or Abroholos maybe both next year.



Anyone reccomend a good company or going them selfs next year and got room on there charter for another?



Would probbably prefer montes as i want to try for a GT but both are good :)

Gday all,

My contract was cancelled a little while ago and I finished up work on friday.  I am free for all this week and the forseeable future until I can get another job.  If anyone is heading out midweek and is looking for a deckie please let me know will chip in for fuel/bait/beer and provide own gear etc and have RBFL.

Preferably heading out wide doing some bottom bouncing as I will probably do some small boat squidding/fishing myself this week in between applying for jobs.

Thanks in advance, PM me or give me a bell 0423811759.

Bryan

hi guys

I've been heading to Mandurah this weekend, fortunate enough to have some friends with a house on the canals in Dawsville.  Can anyone recommend any bottom fishing out from the cut.  I was going to start with the Five Fathon Bank, and look around for some ground.  How close is the bank to shore down that way.  Any other tips for that area would be awesome.

Jared

Hey guys a friend of mine has a Safari reel and the clicker on the drag has kind of ceased to work so when line is being pulled there is no noise being made. Just wondering if anyone knows how much it would cost to fix a problem like this (if it can be fixed) and where I could get it fixed? Cheers
