How many of you guys actually anchor and burley for snapper and dhufish. Been told its very successful but still havent got around to do it yet and just find myself drifting or fishing pots.

Do you have to find fish on the reef first or can you basically just pull up to a reef and start burleying.

Also what kind of burley do you guys use. I was thinking mulies, any old bait, crab and pellets. Just got myself a meat mincer so was going to put stuff through that to make a mush.

How often are you throwing it down.

Cheers

Chasing a little info on the Murray system and if Marron exist in the upper reaches?

I got a feed last night out of one of the Dam's but looking to head up stream a little more and have a look about.

anyone have any info would be greatly appreciated.

When I was a kid my old man used to take me up to Dwellingup and get some Marron up that way, anyone know if there are any about up there 20 odd years later?

Thanks

 It has been a fantastic last few days with plenty of Marron within 45mins of home, and a cray and a few whiting this morning only a 5 minute walk from home... Love easterly winds, clear water and no swell...

 if anyone is bored an wants to come see me catch masses of.....BUGGER ALL...lol

hi everyone, in a weeks time I'm going off to albany and saw in the paper that they are catching tailor. But I know that the paper is often wrong so what does everyone think? The paper reckons that you can get tailor up to 50cm off middleton beach?

lachie 

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction,

I am trying to track down someone who makes personalised lures, I am planning on giving these to my groomsmen as a gift on my wedding day. 

Does anyone know anyone who does this? 

Cheers

hey all sundays forecast was lookin ok but lookin iffy at best whats everybodys opinion ? cheers craig

Hi guy's

Has anyone got any idea what may of caused this hole in my boat in where i can get it fixed. Its 5.5m ali with a sealed floor.

Have just had a new motor fitted and was out running it in when the boat became heavy and hard to get on the plane, found the reason easy enough when washing down and water poured out when opened the bung(alot), previously have never had any water come out from the bung. Very disappointed to say the least have had the boat for 6 years and the hull is 10yrs old its a great boat hence why the new motor was purchased for it.

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm guessing some members have probably seen this one before however, this guy seems to have hooked up a decent size fish?

Also, on a side note is it worth dropping some pots in the deep water in Warnbro Sound for crabs at the moment?

Cheers,

 hi Guys havent had much luck over the last few years in catching occys , mostly because my strings disappear before i get to pull them for the first time , i know the divers do well , because i was given some last year by a fellow member , pickled most and kept others for bait , this year  am determined to try again  guess my question is how do you stop others from relocating pvc occy pots ,do they work and what area around Garden island is best.

cheers

 Hi guys, I know this has been brought up a few times already. I have searched this site for info on boat transport & a lot of it is a bit dated so I am looking for recommendations for a reliable well priced company to transport a 6m ally boat from N.S.W. to Perth. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Headed out last week off Bunbury with a mate (optimont) for what ended up being a great day of fishing. Conditions were perfect with no swell, little chop and a light breeze blowing. After the morning session produced a nice size blackarse there wasn't much else around as we drifted through a few different spots.

Just after lunch time we were on what was going to be almost our last drift when one of optimont's rods fully loaded up in the holder. After a good 10 minute fight on the pe3 gear a beautiful 15kg dhue flopped on the deck. Before we got a chance for any sort of celebration his other rod loaded and another 10 minutes later a 12kg model appeared. Unfortunately while bringing this one in his line got tangled with mine and it wasn't until he'd landed his dhue that I realised I was also on. Up came a 6-7kg model which, while it saved me from having to run naked around the pool table, went back in the drink and swam away.

Heading to Dunsborough next week and looking at the forecasts they vary hugely.

I understand that the Dunsborough forecast would vary hugely compared to around the other side of the cape but does anyone have a site they use and find accurate 1 for dubsborough and 2 for offshore from the cape(yallinyup ect)?

Hey guys
Any reports out there of catches off the Bunbury beaches lately
I might have a go next week for tailor, herring or mulloway if its worth it
cheers

Hi all heading down to Augusta in the next week or so first time with capable 5.8m Trailcraft.
Any info would be appreciated, whats biting , where to go , things to look out for ect.
I have checked out most of the old posts but all a bit sketchy would appreciate some up to date info

 Ok now I know everyone knows north mole inside out.But I don't lol so I went there today to make sure I could find it in dark....

Good thing I did because man did I get lost. 4 pissed off trickiest 1 transport guy an some idiot who tried to tell me he was impounding my car....till I got out, an he changed his mind lol

Anyways I found that you can end up in restricted areas really easy. Till I found a beach just as you enter the drive. Insane green clear water small so u don't have to walk 500m to water. So I went to south street tackle an got some advice on what to use. My question is, has anyone tried that small beach with little car park ?

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone is heading up to Steep Point this year & when.
We are there in April & hope to catch up with anyone there.
Also opinions on the best time there & your favorite places to fish would be great.
cheers & be safe.

hey guys im looking at spending the night at wilbinga tacking the kyack for sharks etc any one is more then welcome to join will be taking the other half just wanting to know where the best entry point to the beach is if your intrested in comming please send me a msg

Thanks Sam

 I know a spot where the mulloway swim as I've snorkled there before, it's a big dropp off and I'm thinking about taking out the kayak to sit out over the drop off with my rod.

I'm probably going to be using a metal vibe and maybe jigging it but I'm unsure if the mulloway would be interested as I'm no expert. If you do think it could work, how do you think I should work the blade/vibe? 

Enjoy

 hi all, I am going crabbing in a couple of days in the river, and was wondering something. I have got 2 kayaks and am going to drop the nets off them, but want to know if a kayak is legally known as a boat? Because the bag limit is 10 crabs land based or 20 from a boat.

thanks,

lachie

dash layout as discussed

Hey guys,

Has anyone used the new Shimano Ocea EX8 braid?

Im upgrading the line on my demersal jigging outfit and considering the Ocea PE4 as its rated to 70lb so nice and thin with a pretty high breaking strain.

Cheers

Does anybody know much about occy traps? What's the easiest way to make them and where should you drop them?

Hey Guys

Going to chase some mackies on the weekend for a bit. Just wondering if you have any further hints/tips for me.

I have heard you look for birds, try behind 3 mile and around rotto. Is that basically it? I see some guys catching some good stuff in little boats so they can't be too far out. Each time I am in close though I hardly see a bird, let alone a flock going nuts over something.

Also where is the chicken run? Is it the SW of rotto?

Anyway wish me luck. Weather looking fairly good on Sunday and hoping it stays that way. They are around just gotta find one!!

Hi guys,

was just wondering what peoples thoughts are on using suncream then baiting up your hooks. Do you think it will effect your catch rate as the fish might not like the smell? And does anybody have any tricks to avoid getting it on your baits as its not so easy just to wipe it off your hands. Im guessing the same effect deisel and petrol would have too.... Maybe the newest bloke on the boat can apply the suncream to the other fishos haha
