Hi all

I have been offered a free father/son weekender with Bluejuice at the Abrohlos in June

Is it generally OK weather wise that time of year, and what species do they normally target?

And what are the sleeping arrangements like and how many toilets on board?

Any advice from those who have been would be much appreciated before I confirm

Hi all, recently purchased a set of Lees TTop Sidewinder bases and 18ft precision outrigger poles.
wondering if you guys had any tips n tricks, brands you would use,2 tow points or just the 1, for the rigging of the outriggers?
They will be attatched to the t Top so it can be out the way when fighting fish.

Bring on the marlin. Yew

Just a heads up, we now have the 2kg USA Squid Blocks in stock. (pic for illustration purposes only)

i am thinking about anchoring up 200m behind penguin island and burling crazy, do u get snapper, kgs, tailor ect there? and also would a shark try to tip a kayak? worth me getting a shark shield for the yak? thanks

Enjoy

hope theres still macks about and some good bottomys, off for a weeks fishing with an old mate

Tried out wide (5 fathom of Garden Island) first of all for about 2hrs for snapper/dhu (or anything else stupid enough to get caught) but no luck. So decided to come in closer and got a dozen nice KGs between my mate and I.

Got about 6 pushing the 40cm mark, with the biggest going 45cm.

Hey People,

I recent snapped the blade in my old bait knife doing something I shouldn't have been doing...... So time for a new one but I was curious what everyone else was using?

The main issue I had with my old knife (which was a cheapy) was it wouldn't hold an edge and it suffered a bit from corrosion. There are a number or more expensive knifes out there claming coats etc to help with corossion but are any of them actually any good? Dont really want to spend good money only to be disappointed in the future.

Cheers in advance,

Brad

 i've read in a few posts the best place to buy whiting heads and other bulk bait in Denham is the Fish Factory. Does anyone know their opening hours? I've tried to call them but it always rings out.

Any helps or other options greatly appreciated.

cheers

 hey guys,

just after a little bit of info about overhead surf casting outfits

I wouldnt mind getting my self a good quality 12/13 ft overhead beach rod, use would mainly be casting bigger dead bait and live baits.

firstly what do you guys thinka bout the daiwa sensors, any good ??

if not good what rods do you rate highly ??

also i have a daiwa saltist ld40 two speed, i have it matched up with a shimano deep jig 200 at the moment for boat use. how would this reel go if i use it for surf casting (matched to a different rod of course) ??

or should i go and get my self an overhead with cast control in it ??

thanks for the info

Seen this in the news today..

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/31574269/need-to-know-what-fish-youve-caught-theres-an-app-for-that/

I think I'll give it a go..

Got my daughters boyfriend onto a nice fish yesterday. Supplemented with Radiant Cod, Pinkie, Dhu and Baldie, was a good day.

Had to jam it in the fishbox....

Once of 3 occies it had eaten hanging from its mouth.

Hey guys, im thinking of heading down to the horse beach this Sat morning. I like the look of these hotwater pipes. Anyone fished them? Are you allowed close? Whats caught around them? I heard rumour and seen a picture of a northwest fish caught there and it wasnt a nw blowie lol

 Going 14.7kg and 1m. long quite light for  its length. 

Stg baker side was its undoing..

 Just wondering what's your opinion on weather sites for coral bay. I'm using MetEye at the moment and its looking the goods so far. But if you look at seabreeze, there's a bit of a difference between gnaraloo and Exmouth forecasts. I know there's a bit of difference between weather at Learmonth airport and tantabiddi, so I'm more inclined to trust the gnaraloo forecast more. 

 HI guys, been awhile since I posted up some pics and hteres been a lot going on in the last month.

First up, the new OS which will be in the 20-30 class reel size (think TLD 25 size). Will be light at 600 grams, class leading capacity and retireve of 60" per crank. This pic is how they all start life. One big bar of ally!

OS body negt to an LG and SG

Drag surface, OS vs LG.. Note the LG drag surface is already oversized for the reel class

Stack of spools. Top to bottom SG, LGN, LG, OS

OS spool. 720 yards of 20lb mono

And for something completely different.... Here is the sideplate of a limited edition reel made for Jim Sammons of the kayak fishing show

 Hi guys, here are a few of the custom water/fuel tanks we have built recently. For any more info contact me on here or my Facebook page AMH plastics, all fish wrecked users will get a discount!

cheers, Ash

lots of salmon around,hooked one on the twisty, they were taking everything, time to move it on any takers???

hi all

tugging the boat up to Cervantes tomorrow for a quick day trip, will be the first time we have fished out from there and any help on where to start would be appreciated. Have heard that the first bank is a good starting point but if anyone can suggest anything else I would be grateful.

Boat is an ocean whaler so don't mind going wide.  

Thanks in advance. 

 In light of the Lunds squid topic and the mad rush it seems people have been undertaking to get squid, does anyone think or know that we will be in short supply of squid?

A few mates I have spoken to have said they had trouble getting some squid recently.

Most people I know who go north each year have already loaded up on squid but is this supply going to run out.

Im more concerned about later in the year when I decide on a Thursday or Friday that I want to head out for a fish that I may not be able to get any squid to use?

thoughts?

I really enjoyed this presentation from the BBC. It would suck to be a flying fish at times..

Hi forum.

I am looking for any Cockburn Sound regulars who might be keen to be part of an ABC story about the Snapper Guardians project and the December fish kill.

Would involve a camera interview and getting out on a boat in the next week or so to hopefully film some pinkies being pulled up.

If you're keen please PM me or email me at

Hey everyone

Just wondering if anyone has swum one of the Richter Oscar Junior Fly Fish Wings?

Went in to buy a new oscar junior on the weekend and noticed these so picked one up. I havent seen these skirts before but the 2 thick wings looks like they will put out a heap of action and flash.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I'm heading up North in a few days with the family and just trying to make a bit of a game plan for fishing out of Denham.

We're towing a 4.3 meter tinny up with a 40 on the back, weather permitting I was going to troll north along the coast and see what I can find, flick some squid jigs around etc. I have had a read of a few posts and taken some notes but just a few questions for people who have fished it before so I don't waste to much time on things that are unlikely to work...

Do many macks get caught around Denham or is it mainly over near the channel?

Can you beach launch a boat anywhere near cape Peron? The google photos look good....

Is there much good country around Denham itself or does everyone travel across to Places like "6 pins" and "the bent peg"? If it's flat I'll shoot over but if not probably stick a little closer to town!

Thanks in advance for any info or tips, hopefully i'll post a little something about the progress in a week or so!
