Hey guys, me and a few mates are heading up to Lancelin tomorrow. I was just wondering what to expect and if anyone had heard of any good reports form that area. Any info is appreciated. Cheers 

Hi all
Does anyone have a copy of the Anglers Almanac? We used to use them for mulloway fishing in SA but I can't get my mitts on a copy. If someone has one can you tell me what colour day Wed 30 Dec 2009 is and what the bite times are?
Thanks
Tim

Hey guys/girls

(The lighthouse still have those baby pinkies?).

All comments appreciated!

New to boating and divers. 

I am a new boat owner having taken my boat out 3 times since I Have had it so most of what I do/come across is new.  Left out of hilaries yesterday and head up north to then go out deep (having someone show me the reef gap before I start using it) and just north of little island as you get out over the reef line, there were 2 boats.  1 Boat had its dive flag up the other had no flags up and they were about 200-300 metres apart.  The boat with no flags obvioulsy had divers below either that or they realised they had left something back in the car and swam back to shore to get it as there was no one on the boat. 

As I kept about 100 metres from either boat I still slowed down due to this is new thing and lo and behold a diver scares the crap out of me by surfacing about 20 metres away from me, much further than 50 metres from either boat.  At first I thought I was reading my gps wrong and I was about to run aground on reef.  thought it was a reef break but no further inspection revealed the goggles etc etc.  Now is this a normal occurrence that divers stray and surface more than 50 metres from their boats and some don't put up their flags??

Fishing was fishing, caught 3 whiting and hooked a shark that busted me off and then proceeded to launch itself about 2 metres in the air 20m from the boat, did this about 7 times quite spectacular actually.

Anyone know of a decent brand of Trim Tabs to fit to a 10 metre Vessel in Perth?   Cheers  nev

got a family thing down here today is there any point bringing some fishing gear or crab nets down this way ?

hi i was just wondering has anyone down south in the cape to cape region around margeret river and sugarloaf rock, canal rocks, also would u be able to tell me some good spots around there

thanks

Im looking to get a new overhead for light deepwater fishing, jigging, trolling and the tld 15 looks good for the job, if you have or owned a tld 15 could you tell me about (cost, performance ect) or recommend any other good overhead reel

hi i was wondering which is the best way to get to rottnest( west end), straight out through garden/carnac or go up through channel and follow the south side of rotto, also i got coodinates for the sea containers, when i put them up it showed it was just south of a FAD which is just southwest of rotto, is this right, and have you had any luck here

would someone be able to give me coordanates of were some of the rottnest sea containers are as im interested in jigging and some deepwater fishing, i know ur probably not gonna give me your favourite spot so could u give me the general area

thanks

To all the Fishwrecked family. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and get some great fishing presents.
All the very best, Colin

saw some young blokes dropping crab nets from the jetty on the pub car park side. theyd got four good ones in the half hour i was there. is this common practice in the marina and is it allowed? if so, can they be caught anywhere in the marina? seems like a great idea to have some pots out while your fishing from the rocks or jetties

hey

again can i ask another question.

are you allowed to spearfish about 500m S of little island? Regulations said no collecting of fish in sancyuarys Inside Marmion Marine Park. Also i heard something that you had to be 1800m off the land before u can spearfish i measured on google Earth and it said it was around 2000m. so yeah just anywhere close to the island.

Merry Chrismas to all fishwrecked crew, have a good holiday and a safe new year.

is this a catfish? its got a few thick whiskers and a bit of an eel like tail. caught it at mindarie marina. whatever it is im gonna eat the bastard now. iv been fishing there 3 days in a row and its the first thing ive caught

OK I am an old bugger now so the others tell me. It still doesn't stop me from getting a little excited about Xmas. There are a few goodies under that tree that I will still be wanting to open in the early hours of the morning. This Xmas is pretty quiet so Wendy and I will most likely have an early drink.. A nanna nap and then up and about for the kids to come over for dinner. I am the chef again (but I like and choose that).

Merry Xmas to the lot of you. Be safe and sensible and ENJOY!

hey all,

i was wondering if any body is catching any macks out of gero? i've been out today and last saturday and had three hook ups but they keep getting off. when they run i give a little more speed but the hooks dont seem to sink in? is there something i'm doing wrong or is it bad luck?

cheers flagpole

To all Adam, support people and all members,

Merry chrissy , hope you all have a great safe time and see you all in the new year.

Cheers,

         Craig, Cherie,Azmin and Bridie Pearse

hey just got given a few crays but not sure on the best way to cook them a few ideas please???

hey guys. going up to carnarvon in the next couple of days. just wondering whats biting around carnarvon, from the shore. i'd usually go out to the blowholes or the bluff, but not this year, just hanging round town n most probably be hitting 1 mile, the prawning jetty and around pelican point. if i can get a heads up on what fish to target that would be great. cheers

when your fishing from jetties or rocks with plenty of available fishing spots all around you and someone sets up right next to you, close enough to invade your space, is this just part and parcel of fishing, or do you have every right to tell them to f*** off out of your face? sometimes the solitude is what your after and unless your vying for space, which i could understand, i felt it was very rude. Is it just me or do most fisherman feel this way? very interested to hear your feedback

I fish off this bridge and its one hell of a drop not to mention around only 2-3 meters deep.

R.I.P

The missus thought she did something good for my xmas present last year, and bought me a 12 month subscription to Fishing WA magazine.

i just gotta say, that thank christ its finished.

this would have to be the worst publication circulating in the world today. not only do the things arrive 3 weeks late every month (got december edition yesterday), but i am so sick of seeing the same picture 4, 5, or even 6 times in the same edition (the cover shot is shown 4 times half page each time). posing with the same fish for 12 shots, doesnt mean you should run them all.

without fail, there is an exmouth trip where some bogan catches a trevally, or an "expos'e" on metro squid or herring. even worse, is when someone flukes a good fish, and writes an article on it, again with repetetive pictures.

the idiots have done an article in this months edition on how to catch abalone, 2 weeks after the season has already closed! seriously this is bad form. imagine some young kids reading it, going to catch some, and gettin busted by fisheries. really, really bad form.

admittingly, i was a member of the fwa forum for a while, and went to write this on their forum, but when i went to log in, my membership had expired (probably been 12 months since i was last there). i went to sign back up, and they want to charge me $49.95 for that!!! get stuffed!!! seriously, who would actually pay the $6.95 asking price for their magazine anyway? if thats what they're charging, then adam should start publishing his reel time magazine. he'll become a millionaire.

basically, i just wanted to vent my frustration at those money hungry fwa retards, and expose it for what it really is - a repetetive, uninteresting, misinforming waste of paper, designed for bum hole fisherman that dont know any better.

comments please....

Hey all, keen to get out for a crab sometime, just wondering how everyone is going? Had a mate tell me the sound was going off but there were lots of people out at the same time. Anyone been crabbin in the swan recently?

Cheers,

Pete

UncleStu and I couldn't get a line in the water this morning despite taking off from my place at 3:30am. So.. we did some sussing out and came home and I decided to go back to bed for a while.

Awake and an empty house.. OK so what to do? OK so let's see what the north wall of Hillaries can do as the wind is just friggin howling SW. It turned out to be a very relaxing day with lots of terrorists ( tourists) around. I ended up with about 1/2 dozen decent skippy, threw back a number or Tarwine and a few baby pinkies. It was fun. I can't wait for Xmas so I can christen my new ultra-lite gear. The skippy at Hillaries certainly make you work to avoid the structure.

.

Just got off the phone with Craig to book a group of my friends on Tuesday.

Apparently he's had a last minute cancellation for tomorrow (Thurs), so he's got spots if anyone is keen to go for a jig. Weather is showing moderate to low winds and waves of 1.8m, I'd go if I didn't have to work :(
