Does any fellow fishos have any spare maxx traxx that wont to offliad, looking for a pair and a compressor and delflator for the tyres..

Hi Guys,

I did a google search using my question, including "Fishwrecked" in the search to see if my question was not addressed elsewhere. I was not satisfied it was covered, hence my question:

For those that catch Bigger Dhufish (10kg+) I would love to know 2 things

1) How tight is your drag?

2) If you give the fish some line- does it get you stuck on bottom (reefed) based on your experience.

For me, I only catch small ones on 30lb braid with 60lb mono with bait. A 5kg Drag would be my max and I have never had one reef me. Ive had them dive back close to bottom but Ive always been able to get them up.

When I look for bigger fish in future will I have trouble with my Twincraft 2-3pe with 5kg drag? Or do you go 10kg plus drag to make sure they cannot get back down once you start the retrieval?   

Thanks In advance guys.. I'm sure fellow newbies can learn from this as going just light enough maximises the fun :)

 Hi everyone, going to drop some nets off a boat in the Mandurah Estuary next week, just wondering a reliable part of the estuary and what sort of depth is best there?

 also is there anywhere in the estuary to get a feed of hereing or whiting off a dinghy?

Thanks,

Lachie

Hello Everyone,

about to embark on my first trip to Steep Point, any advice on what is the ideal wind direction for balooning? 

Hi Everyone,

Just chasing any advice re: bait boards. I'm having work done to my boat next week and was hoping to get a bait board fitted while its in the shop. I like the idea of the Prowave bait boards that I've seen online, but they all seem to be in back order, and I think by the time they get over here, it'll be too late.

I'm chasing something of fully welded plate aluminium with solid mounting feet, not something with flimsy legs. Has anyone got any recommendations for anywhere in W.A. where I might be able to source anything like that? I'd really appreciate any advice anyone may have.

had a great day trolling 20mt of the cliffs off steep point the other day went past 3 whale sharks and caught 2 nice cobia and a YFT of of each of them. back at the fillet tables I cut one fillet of the tuna and noticed little white balls (like sago)through every layer of the fish I cut into,could have been 1000 in each fillet.i have seen a bit on American sites about it but not much detail. didn't eat it as it looked wrong,never seen them before.just wondering if anyone seen/know what they are?

Sorry about the quality as I had some glare but I took this on some ground we found out from Forrest Beach last week and wondering what it might have been and yes I had it on auto at this stage as I spent the day fishing and playing around with the sounder trying to get a manual picture better than the auto.

We had just drifted past a couple of lumps I marked where I'd pulled up a Dhuey and a Blackarse and hit some baron ground before this popped up. My thoughts are that I hit some gravel holding a school of snapper... sadly I'll never know as the bite was very slow that morning on account of fishing 2 hours after the low tide.

 12 current players and 5 others banned for 12 months by Wada.what does that do for your season

heading for a crab first thing Saturday morning at dawesville. Any tips on whiting around there. Wouldn't might a few casts while waiting on the pots. Cheers 

Hey, Does anyone know who owns this boat? I seen him at the Abrolhos islands on the weekend!!

Link to report of Fish Kill Incident:

 Should I bring a gaff to eshed? If so, what size do I need? I also heard you can climb down near the water but I don't know if this is true.

 I want to put up a bunch of photos of fish I have caught the last 3 weeks but every time I try it won't upload. I know the site is having problems but some people still seem to.be able upload. Can someone tell me how they are doing it. 

Cheers jm

Hi Everyone, I'm posting on behalf of "Top Notch" here on the forums who's recently had some gear stolen, but is unable to put a post up at the moment.

Hey Fishing family, keep your eyes open for someone trying to sell an ugly stick with penn reel, fitzroy barra rod with a shimano Calcutta 400 reel, mares cyrano 900 speargun and a roller-pro 1100 speargun. Someone decided they would help themselves to them out of my boat last night down in Busselton and I wouldn't mind catching up with them. Spread the word to the wider fishing community and see if we can track them down. I'll try and get photos of the gear but all recognisable the ugly stick has John Dyer written on it. Cheers in advance.

Anybody tried these? Do they work?

 I'm looking to catch bull sharks in the swan river (prefferably around Bassendean area) and I need some advice.

Are there any locations that anyone is willing to share or is ok to just try for them anywhere? And is there a certain time to be targetting or can you get them all year around? I wouldn't mind setting up for an all night session if that's what it takes to catch one :)

Any advice and tips appreciated.

Hey guys

Staying in Busso at the moment for the next few weeks and looking to get amongst the Marron. Is there anywhere close by I can try without having to stay overnight? Looking to just give it a go for a couple hours and try to get a couple for a feed.

Understand locations are secret so if you want to PM general area that's fine.

Also is it better with a snare or is a drop net ok?

Cheers for the help guys.

 Caught this little fella in 340m off rotto on Friday. Any ideas? Iv been told it's a pelagic armour head

 Good day on the water yesterday, all bagged out by 9, i got these 2 sisters on jig. Couple of 1m queenies in the mix stretched the boys out early on too. 6 size dhus went back healthy, couple of thumpers were amongst the released ones too. Blackbums and nanny's made up the rest, not sure why pics wont load will keep trying.

Hi guys,

Does anybody have a Sedona 5000fe and if so how do you find it? Can't find any decent reviews so any shared experiences would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

 Got a Jeep Trailhawk picking up.very soon 

One of these on ebay from a 100% seller in Port headland for $500, a bit over 2 hours left on auction. Has connector chopped off but very easy to resolder the correct pig tail. No bids yet so a potential bargain with free postage included. No connection to seller, just browsing and spotted it.

Cheers.

Hi, I am looking for any info on what type of Bi focal sunnies you might use for fishing. I was looking at something along the line of uglyfish, you can get them in +1.5 ,+2 or +2.5. Just wanted to know what you use or do you get prescription sunnies. Cant see to tie my knots any more. Cheers.

 It has been a long time ago that I used to used PVC pipe method to catch occy, I have been told it is now illegal to use anything other than than a new version of occy trap, is this correct. Sounds like another money grab for some one.

 Hi guys

Anyone here own or have experiences with plastic dinghies, especially the Finn Spin-drift series? I'm looking at getting one, 2.4-3m for river fishing.  Will be powered by a small outboard.  Some parts of the Swan and Canning are excellent for fishing, but accessing those places are not ideal with a 19ft boat! Haha
