I'm wondering if you can still buy these I have looked in fishing shop but haven't seen them I am going up to exmouth and have read all the advice from you guys and you recommend them but can't find them 

Hi folks, I have a week holidays to kill so I am looking at heading north for a quick fishing trip.
I am chasing ideas on where & when to go for some good L/B fishing like Quobba etc.
I am thinking of dragging up a camper trailor around the end of August to save the hastles of booking chalet style accomidation.
Been boat fishing north to Exmouth for about 14 years, but do like the L/B for a change.
Thanx in advance for your help.
cheers Rob

Hi All

I am off to ningaloo/exmouth in september and im chasing as much info and insight into trying to catch my first marlin from my boat.

I am a noob when it comes to trolling as we havnt really done it before.

I will be taking a couple of outfits set up for just trolling for macks and hopefully a marlin. I already have a couple Tyrnos 30s so will be spooling them with mono Not sure weather to go 30lb or 50lb though? Do i have half a chance if a marlin does decide to take the lure on these reels or do i need to run 50w reels?

After reading most topics about it in the search function i will be dropping into Oceanside to get some richter soft oscars and soft grassys.

Can any one help me with what i will need? And some advice to a noob to help catch our first marlin

Cheers Jayce

 Hi,

I have a small job in mandurah, I am getting a security screen installed on the front door. We have a normal globe just outside the front door and need to replace with a down light, are there any sparks that can do a cash job. Prob only take 20 mins as house is only 6 months old, heaps of room in roof.

 Anyone had any luck recently, havent been in ages and just wondering where i might have a chance,

Cheers, Andrew

 Hi everyone. In Saturday morning I am planning to do a bit of tailor fishing with lures and mulies at trigg but when I looked at the swell for trigg I thought there was no chance of catching a tailor. So does anybody know a good beach for tailor fishing for Saturday?

So who here eats the squid tentacles?

Recently i've taken some mates out to get a feed but when it came time to clean them they either wanted to keep the tentacles for bait or throw them away

If you coat and fry them up I reckon they can be tastier than the rings

Went down the beach for a quick fish last night and the Mrs caught a nice 70cm+ Mulloway and all I got was a bloody Wobbegong!
About time she starts baiting her own hooks I reckon.....LOL

Thinking of heading out in the boat tomorrow but I havent really fished in winter before. Ive got plenty of warm clothing but i usually get around in the boat barefoot. With it being in the low 0's the next few days im a bit worried im going to be getting around on a couple of ice blocks! Has anyone got any tricks to keep your feet warm especially with getting a bit wet launching and retrieving?

 Any reports from the rockwalls?  There was a small army at Mindarie yesterday.  I hope sombody did well.

G'day all,

I have just come back from a 10 day fishing trip at Exmouth and I now know how bad the shark problem is up there. I found some pretty good ground not too far from Tantas and decided to give it a drop. Out of our total hook ups I'd say only approximately 15-20% were landed and at some stages we could not get any fish up at all. If the sharks weren't there we would have bagged out in no time. I spoke to some of the locals and they mentioned there's talk of perhaps attempting to thin out the numbers however, they said it would cause conflict with the greenies and militant conservationists.

More often than not fisho's now have to sacrifice more fish to sharks in the hope of landing a couple to get a feed. We tried moving spots multiple times but still the sharks kept taking our catch. In the 10 days we were there we would have lost 30-40 quality demersal species (Prob reds, spango's, chinamon, Robbos sea bream etc) and that must have an effect on the sustainability of fish stocks especially if everyone else is doing the same thing.

I believe some action needs to be considered before it starts to put people off visiting there for fishing trips (If it hasn't already). Why can't a commercial fishing boat start fishing there and sell it to fish n chip shops? They'd clean up!! Haha! It's a tricky problem because how many do you cull to confidently say it's enough?

Would be interesting to know your thoughts on this subject and if anyone else has been horrifically sharked like we just have.

Cheers

Ben

 Hi all

 I'm currently planning some work on the boat trailer, a few modifications to the roller and skid set up. Just having a look on the net for suppliers and wondering what places people would recommend for good prices and service.

thanks

 hi guys, do u know if there is any fishing shop that will employ 13 year olds?

 Going to be in broome in a few days was just wondering where is good to go and what tackle to use

 Hi fellow fisho's 

just bought a diawa saltist hyper jig rod and was wondering your thoughts on a reel to match it up with I was thinking the stratic 8000 but not a 100 % any thoughts would be great 

 Looking at buying some fuel bladders for extended trips out of wyndham and am just wondering what are peoples thoughts on them...how safe are they, can anyone recommend a good brand

 Just looking at all the posts in tailor fishing over the past month or so and everyone is catching their pb tailor on lures. I was down at trigg last Sunday morning and everyone was using bait and not even a bite! So is it lures or bait for winter beach fishing for tailor? If it's lures are just normal stick baits all right?

 Hi guys trying to find out is there a technique for using braid when fishing have been trying it but find it hard to use and struggle to catch fish switch back to mono and catch them now I am feeling more bites with braid but find it hard to hook them would there be something I'm doing wrong or is it something you have to get use too.  

Thanks  for any help 

 Hi all

Chasing some first hand info on the polu kai lures as im looking to add a few skirted lures to my lure range. 

How do they troll? Do u think there worth the money? And what sizes/ colours have you had success with ?

I would be mainly using them up coral bay exmouth area for marlin.

Many thanks

Roddo

Has anyone caught or seen any mulloway from bussulton jetty and wonnarup beach

Hey guys! I went up to the Bluewater Tackelworld sales today and picked up a few little lures for stupid cheap! Only paid $1.50 each! 

I honestly have no idea what to chase with them though, I only got em because they were so cheap! Could you help me out a bit? 

What would smash these lures? What kind of places would these lures be best used in?

Anything will help.

Cheers in advance

The other week I was fishing about 20nm off rockingham got out to my spot which is a little ledge about 30-40m long with a 1m drop at one end and about 0.5m at the other end. had a few drifts got a few small dhuies and breaksea we never saw a boat the whole way out but after about an hour a boat showed up and started fishing about 30m away much to my disgust but knobs will be knobs.

but within the next 30 mins i had 3 boats come flying past doing about 25knots within about 20m one only just missing my drift anchor float and another 2 more boats pull up and start fishing over the same spot. only good thing was a big school of norwesters came past and all 4 people on one boat and 2 on the other boat hooked up and me and my mate both hooked up ( using stradic 2500 c14 with 8lb braid on a nano 2-4kg flicky and 100mm squidy fish plastics) everyone else had a blowy or a double blowy and I got a 710mm dhuie and my mate got a 510mm breaksea to say we danced around acting like they were both a metre long to rub it in was an understatement we left soon after crossing over a trail of floating blowys and corona bottles from the other boats 

next trip out I'm putting up my dive flag and going to have another flag drifting 50m behind us and anyone who comes within the 50m keep clear zone is going to cop a barrage of squid guts from the mutton bird slingshot 

What is up with people being to lazy these days to put in the time and effort to go out and find their own spots 

 When 46 mile nw of bunno last week got to my spot an there was anouther boat 50 m away  what would u do? Fish it or head to next spot 10 mile away ???

Gday fellow fisho's.... Im heading to Perth in Sept/Oct for a bit of RnR and definitely fishing as much as possible. I'll be staying in CARRAMAR for one week. Is there any good spots close by that I can go to and try out?? What sort of bait and tackle would be the best if theres any good spots around?? I usually fish the Bayswater rowing club but that's ages away from where im staying. Any help and advice from all you LEGENDS would be great Cheers Mateys
