Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody has a fin-nor offshore spinning reel as I'm looking at getting one and want to know if they would be good for sambo jigging. The big one holds 600 yards of 100lb braid and has a 60lb drag to boot. If anybody knows anything about the performance of these reels it would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks, Gav

Hay guys just moved to Tom Price and was wondering if any one has any info on Hedland creeks looking at heding over on Monday for a flick and crab.What creeks can you put your boat in on any tide?

Cheers

The 1999 yammy 90 2 smoke is costing alot of money in fuel on the long distance's I travel fishing (25 mile out, moving from spot to spot trolling etc & 25 mile back = 80 odd litres, $100bux a trip), So I am looking to put a new motor on the back of the Southwind UB670.

A mate has a hundred Yammy 4 stroke on his same Hull- UB670, it does the same 33 knot max as my 90 only Using half the fuel.

Talking to the dealers;-  they all say I should only buy their product coz theirs is the best. I am confused, So i am asking your opinions on what you recon I should bolt on the back of the Banana boat?

Has any one got the same boat with a modern engine on the back?

What engine would you recomend?

I was on the E TEC trip for a while then seen all the government recalls because of the expolsions they were having, so put me off a bit.

Hondas 90 with the VTEC seem like a good bet I am thinking

Suzuki have brought out a new 90hp

Yamaha have 50% of the outboard market so they must be good

merc = black death i am told

Mariner is a cheap Merc

Tohatsu are just cheap

 Price is all within 2 -3 grand difference so not an object, Just want the best motor

You Opinions are welcome Please... 

Cheers Justin

hi guys

went out with a few mates on sunday to canning bridge. nothing much to report but my mate got a small bream on a switchblade.

apart from that just blowies, we saw heaps of fish: grunter,whiting, we think a few tailor and a few small bream.

so with not much success there we walked up to the scouts jetty. again nothing to report.

With us all wanting to catch a fish we walked to rookwood jetty.

as we were crossing the bridge we saw about 200 medium tarwhine.

so we raced down the steps and started chucking lures at them but they werent hungry.

when we arrived at rookwood we all had a few casts with nothing biting

Then we tried all around the rock walls around there with a few follow ups but no hook ups.

we had 10 minutes left so we decided to go back to rookwood

on my first cast i got hooked up to something big, went for a short run directly away from me pulling line at a rapid pace, then went for a even bigger run up towards the end of the jetty and snapped my 9lb line.

was using a soft vib the whole time

Any ideas of what the fish could be?

i think it was either a big bream or a small mulloway

Hello

hey it says in the news paper that their is a new plan for recreational fishing in the south west....

says something about stocking trout and that they want public input before they put forward new rules + regulation policy's

 it says they have put forward 17 proposals and that public oppinion will greatly influence what they do and dont change so log on to www.fish.wa.gov.au to have your say or something like that!!! so give it a go and say what you think

CHEERS REDFIN 4 LIFE

I was just wondering do any of you guys know if there is an anual Mullet run over here in WA? If there is what time of year does it happen?Or is it just a Salmon run here.

I am hoping to pick up a Shimano Trinidad 20DC overhead reel soon, but I am wondering what rod I should put it on.

I would prefer something at least 12 foot long and able to handle throwing lures through to medium-sized live baits.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot, Colin
