Hi all

I've had my bait board extended and now need to cut a new plastic board for an insert. Current one is 10mm thick and I'll need minimum size of ~ 630mm x 380mm. Any suggestions on what to use and where to buy it? Planning to do the job on Christmas Day when all 35 of my wife's extended family arrive :-) Faaarrkkk

Enjoy

Another good night on the scoop on sunset and took the whole family out for a fish this morn. Only wanted a couple of crabs so walked around until I found some 130+ models.

The Boundary Island Brewery is a game changer. Early dinner and a pint then over to island in the wind protected channel for a scoop just on dusk.

 Got away early from work today, picked

up Oldman who i fish with on regular basis.

picked up some good tailor first few casts.

they were on the chew early. Knabbed a 

Quality one then the old boy got little 

soapie . Had the big rod out but no takers

on half a tailor. Good little arv session with some

baits for another night crack. Cheers pirate. 

 Hey legends got out there for a bash 

so good to see healthy stock around in the shallows 

youtu.be/YrEEaJD7304

see you out there legends 

And others that have been introduced over the years .no iam not anti vax syco .Love the ocean . Start with cockburn CRABS . They took away tangle nets . And replaced them with traps ( not pots ) crabs cannot escape ,they caught 24 hours a day . Blue manna crabs ( males ) leave . All fertile females stay behind . Traps still catching all females with eggs inside body . Amature fault I don’t think so . CRAYS how many amatures fish outside 35 to 40 meters and catch jumbo oversized females ( divers not included) with fur not many . DHUES how many people would keep a dhue under 500 mm . No one I know . They say target other fish . Let’s go for MULLYS . Mullaway are a family group rarely intermingle with other schools . Once you have your prime spot you will wipe out generations of family gone. Hence why my family members stoped going for them . Only 2 to 3 times a year now days . SNAPPER are like blowfish atm . Endangered my ass cockburn pollution stopped huge schools coming in . Back of 5 fathom and beyond pain in ass . My summary of everything if new stupid rules come in . Few years time dhues in local area will be gone ( no breeders left) education in how to handle and bring in fish the way to make fish survive . Amatures will be to blame . Crays stocks drop well der be amatures fault for giving away to many crays . Not pros taking all big breeders . Taking female crabs ( no sign of eggs internal ) but the whole crab industry is in danger . Be amatures fault due to people getting caught with undersized crabs .not traps fault . Look list goes on . I have spent my whole life in water on water . To me it seems they do not want any amature taking anything . They make more money out of pros than the common person . They will not be happy until they take everything away . My bitch / my thoughts on what I have seen only . Is it about how much money they can make . Or is it real concern about stock ? I have my doubts . Each to there own . If it was me I wouldn’t do there surveys / frames / logs . It bites you in ass . As far as public forums go , it’s a free world . My bitch over . First day back at work fustration gone

 Hi everyone, I'm looking for a suggestion about fishing cameras like the WaterWolf and any good reviews / experiences anyone may have had with them and also what anyone thinks about the GoPro's that you can use underwater. I am a complete and total noob with cameras, not to mention waterproof ones - but I'm freshly interested in experimenting with them to get some cool footage, especially offshore. Any input is welcomed and I thank ye in advance. Cheers.

Maybe I just had too many beers 

BUt Fk me lightly 

what is going on in this country

Took my two boys out off Halls Head at gentlemen's hours and got straight onto the KGs. The boys smoked me on account of them letting the fish make an absolute mess of the lines and me keeping them fishing. The Cleggie rig was with one J style hook was the winner.

We dropped the pick and tried a burley trail but only landed two more then back in just as the SW and sea sickness kicked in with smiles all round.

 For anyone looking for a used boat better be quick.Thought I better advertise me boat as my new one is only about 6 moths away and the misso said I can't keep two.So chucked it up not expecting any hits till after Xmas when things settle down a bit and bam! Gone within hours the same day I start me holidays bugger! Still a high demand even after all the talk of a lot of tubs hitting the market because of new regs.

 I have a 2004 yamaha 2 stroke 130hp outboard . It was fitted to my boat but have no idea how many hours it has . 

 Do these motors have a diagnostic programe to check ? If so could anyone on fishwreked have the means to check for me .

Got 3 in about 6 runs on 5 nets yeaterday with the kids. Shot across to Pt Gray for a scoop for nought but did better at Boundary Island on sunset. Missed heaps as we had 3 scoops between my 3 and my 2 nephews and niece but they had the time of their life with my bro and I sipping a beer and scouting.

This is my digs for the next week!

Rules . Dumb as they are . Few dhues caught. The rest released no dramas . We let everything go that was small. No dramas . I personally think fisheries and government taking size limits of is for pro sector ( money and money). To many fish going back dead . Not from amateurs Just my thoughts . Why the fuck would you keep something under 500 mm . Anyway science wins . I only done schooling to eat lunch.

 So has anyone ventured out for a demersal bash yet? Looks like the stars migh be lining up for next Friday (fingers, toes and arse muscles crossed) Will be my first opportunity since May all going well...

 Hi all, I got a penn 10500 a while back (probably close to 2 years ago) and last week I finally got around to spooling some line and headed off fishing. First cast and bail arm didnt return .. stripped it down today I cannot find anything wrong with it at all. The bail arm is lubed and free, the spring and rod are fine and move freely - but I cannot work out for the life of me, how it is actuated. Ive looked on the net and found a couple of maintaining videos that clearly show all the parts being assempled .. but nothing that actually shows how the bail arm is tripped. One video talks about a "ramp" (which makes sense as it will push the rod up and the bail will spring back). But I have no ramp, no step .. nothing that would cause the bail arm to trip .. anybody else got one who could advise me?

About to drop my boat in a canal for a week and want to make sure the bungs are impenetrable. I know petroleum jelly is no good but would a smear of the marine grease for my hubs be fine as I'm sure it's not petroleum based or even just soak the bungs in light solution of morning fresh?

Cheers

Do you guys think display model reels should be discounted?  My wife just purchased a fishing reel for Christmas ( I've been a good boy!).  Shop said it was last one so she bought it. First question I asked was did they take it out of the cabinet? Yes they did. 

What do you think?

Enjoy  

weather not looking too bad, think i might go for a leaisurely anchor and burley to see if any snapper around. doubt i will head deep, but will be good to get a line in!

anyone else heading out?

 Im presuming they are as long as just one bait. We like to use one whole squid with two hooks snelled with about a  20mm gap between them. Does anybody know for sure if thats legal under new rules? thanks for any info

 Hi all,

On Navionics, there is a wreck approximately 34km NW of carnarvon (17km East of Bernier's Northern tip) thats lies on about 30m depth and go up to 25m apparenty.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this wreck? I couldn't find any info on the net and it's a bit far to go to find nothing !

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Sky

 Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, thanks for the add.

I'm a mad keen spearo, but I don't know much about line fishing tbh.

Now, I bring dhuie and coral trout home regularly but my wife's favorite fish to eat is actually slimy/blue mackerel, which is a fish that we can't really target while diving lol!

So I'm after any info that could help me get some of these: gear, tackle and all, but mostly when and where?!

I'm based in Perth and have a boat that can go offshore :)

I'm not after peoples' specific spot of course, but general area, depth and ground...

All advice will be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Sky

PS: this is not a joke 

 Im currently looking at changing my prop to try get afew more revs. I currently have a 13inch 17 pitch prop but have noticed a 13 1/2 inch 15 pitch prop second hand,  would I gain any revs from this change or would it probably just stay about the same?

 Hit boss up for late morning start. that

Aproved headed  down with a mate. Not

much til dark. Mate got pinged .. re rigged

managed a little tiger . Last bait for me 

knabbed us a little eater bronze . Tailor 

strips did the job . Good night for it after

strong east winds . Cheers pirate. 

One of our cray crew is having to pull the pin, so I have a spot available for the rest of the whites run, Launch gentlemens hours out of Ocean Reef - weather permitting. Can use pots that are already in the water, just need to switch floats. I have a winch and tipper

Cheers - Eric

 Came across some pork crackling I had bought reduced use by product. Intention was to use it for craybait (as pork fat). Will this work like pork fat ? Cheers

So yesterday I was pulling into Elizabeth Quay using the right side of the channel (red line) and the ferry was beelining straight for me (green line) on an angle (i.e. lined up the red marker with the green marker) pushing me straight into the nav marking and rock wall. He eventually managed to turn enough to prevent a collision with him or the rock wall but let his horn rip pretty aggressively. 

 The cops have been at the ramps putting sticker on trailers. I beleive they wehere at point peron this morning  and banged stickers on for brakes, lights and stopping boaties going out with safety gear that was out of date.

.

 Took the boy down after work for

A fish . aim to put few baits in freezer 

little tailor were on the bite pretty much

as we arrived . Was good to get the boy

on measuring each one and showing him

how to de hook fish when using gangs as

we all know can go pear shaped quickly 

with gang in the hand with a tailor swinging

off it . Looking forward to using them soon

on a good night with the big gear . Cheers
