just bought a shimano symetre for the salmon run, used it on a nexave 902, caught plenty of salmon on it. Got it from kmart when they had 30% off fishing gear so got it for $130 and i must say im wrappped with it. Just wondering what everyone else caught their salmon on?

Enjoy

Need help on this. Navman's have died and I dont like fishing blind.

Hey guys heading up to Kalbarri for the long weekend and noticed the swell will be up. Can anyone suggest any spots that aren't too affected by big swells? ATM have Witecarra as our main fishing location but I think it can get tricky with bigger swells.

Was recently on a holiday in surfers paradise, decided to go on a fishing charter(gone fishing).wasnt too bad could of been much better...all 12 of us were bottom bouncing while the 2 deckies were ballooning for mackerel and once hooked up they would pass the rod to the customers and by then the fish was pretty much worn out(not fishing i recon)i was the only 1 to get an actuall fish from the bottom which was a nice cobia..all the fish being caught were killed and kept..when i landed my fish i asked can i release it and he laughed in my face..i said i can have much more satisfaction releasing a fish then eating it and he laughed and offered it to the rest of the people on the boat and every1 put their hand up to take it...no wonder their charter isnt the greatest coz they are keeping every fish they land. fish for the future and not your stomach i recon. i'd hate for myself to have a son and not for him to be able to catch a decent fish

hi all   im   headin  up   this   w/e    and   want  to  catch  anything  decent  from  tailor  to  targeting  big  mullaz  and   sharks  at  night,  anyone  had  any luck  with  same  sorta fishing, any good  points/spots  were is deep  or   always  on  the  bite???           any advice  would be much apreciated thanks

After opinions on a rod around the $350 mark for trolling and ballooning running 10kg. I've settled on a tyrnos 20 over a TLD for the reel but undecided on either a single or two speed model (help). I'd like the rod to be between 5'6 and 6' and use runners only but will consider roller tip if someone can convince me. I've read back through some older topics and have noticed some problems with some live fibres which was what I was considering (stroker series) so any feedback would be great. Will hopefully be giving the outfit a good run during Carnarfin at the end of May and during the Broome Billfish Classic in July.

Cheers,

I was fishing the back of Garden Island on the weekend, but the schools were patchy to scarce. Are there more schools heading north.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the Fishwrecked Forum but have enjoyed reading all the posts about the great fishing in WA.

I am looking at buying a new medium spinning rod and reel combo. This combo would be used for both shore and boat fishing and fished to max PE3. After researching a number of models and manufacturers I have settled on a T Curve Barra Flats 782 with a Twin Power 5000. However I am keen to hear others reports on both the rod and reel as well as recommendations for similar equipment.

Cheers,

Matt

just read the post on the handpainted tinny and i thought it would make an interesting post.

hi

i was wondering if i should bother using bait or should i use luresi got some 4inch plastics an da bomber long a and a rmg scorpian wt should i use?

my current 27 mhz radio seems to be picking up other peoples transmissions but i'm not able to transmit

everything seems to be working fine . just nobody can hear me. radio not that old and new arial has been fitted.

any ideas to what the prob may be?? lead seems ok.

also looking in case it needs replacing , the vhf has transmit power of 25 watts while 27 mhz is only 4. surely this makes a difference in range although i've been told they have same range

is the vhf worth the arse ache of doing the licence??

My Navman GPS stuffed (antenna and $500 for a new one) and also the sounder is dodgy. Has anyone got an opinion about these 2 units. $500 between the units.

Fishing ATM on triangulation and spots I know. Obviously not the coolest.

Cheers

Otherwise Furono which I can get.

If anybody is considering a trip on a charter boat and is a responsible fisherperson i would strongly recommend not using Mills Charters out of hillarys.  on a day out this weekend i saw half a dozen under size pink snapper and one undersize dhuie float away to be pecked at by the birds as the decky was too lazy to use the release weight that was rigged up and ready to go sitting in the corner. Instead he used his own very special technique that consisted of facing his back to the water and lobbing the fish as far as he could over his shoulder and walking away without giving a f#@k what happened to the fish.

Hi All,

Just curious as to how far ppl are willing to travel from their house to a ramp for a days fishing. I go from Morley to Two Rocks, 120kms round trip ! I heard of some ppl leave from Freo to go to Mindarie or Two Rocks !

After a few efforts with no success, I finally managed to get all aspects of tha big beach rod working. With fresh herring caught on Sunday and a decent ganged rig set up me and my mate were at our local.  So far so good we made it without any close calls of writing tha 4x4 off.   My first cast I was very happy with and set tha rod in my piece of PVC.   I set up my little rod to try for some more herring.    After 10 minutes or so I decided to see if anything was happening.   Some thing had taken my herring and 2 of tha ganghooks straight off.   I was stoked even tho I had nothing.   A new set of gangs and another side of herring and I was back in.   Within minutes I was getting big pulls on tha drag but nothing set.   Then all went quiet.   I reeled in to find a hering carcass back bone and tail on tha hooks.   Wow what a rush.   Unfortunately tha swell started getting crazy and tha seaweed was starting to cause havoc with tha lines, sinker and bait.  So we called it a day.   Just stoked to have made it to step 2!!!!!

What was tha forcast swell for today for northern metro.   I think that I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to picking good days to get out.   That being said this morning was fuckin awesome!!!!
