Just wondering if some people can let us know from their experience as to the taste and rating of the following fish: Grass Emperor ( Bluelined Emperor, Black Snapper) and the Stripey Snapper ( stripey seapearch, Spanish Flag).
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Decided to head away somewhere this weekend with the missus and figured it might be a good opportunity to sample the fishing up at Jurien in my recently completed project boat. However, I'm still a bit green when it comes to sea fishing/boating and just looking for some opinions on what the weather and seas will be like up there on Sat/Sunday.

I've checked out seabreeze - Lancelin showing just under 2m swell and E/SE winds around 10knts. Is JB likely to be about the same? ANd what sort of seas would this make for up there? I'm not going to be heading out far (haven't got the fuel capacity yet), so prob just looking at hanging around in the bay area and maybe out the back of some of the close-in reef just north of the islands and target some snapper, whiting squid etc. 

SOrry for the 'hand-holding' type question....just that it is a long way to drag the boat (and missus) to have a s**t day out or not get out at all.

Hi guys just wondering what you think about a tyrnos 50 for ballooning/trolling reel any feedback would be much appreciated

I have seen in discussions about different sounders that "chirp" gets mentioned a bit can some one enlighten me to what it means ???????????

 Anyone wet a line in broadbeach, either the beach or canals.

heading up there soon and just want to know whats swimming in those water,

cheers, Andrew

Hey everyone,

Thought I'd share something I stumbled across in my junk mail. I remember seeing ads for these a few years ago, and while they're obviously not the best rods by far, I figured it was something I could just keep under the passenger seat in the Pulsar for my little nephew to play around with when we go on little adventures out and about. I remember having a telescopic rod when I was a kid and thinking it was the most amazing thing ever. 

For about $25 all up including shipping, I figured it was worth a shot. And since it's telescopic, I don't have to worry about accidently snapping the rod when absent mindedly filling up the boot with junk. Being stuck in the car with a grumpy 7 year old is not pleasant!

Hi everyone

Is anyone here working on the FMG solomon project near Tom Price?

I am mobilizing there soon and thought if there are any of the fishwrecked crew there then a catch up and a beer is in order

Hi guys,

We are looking at hiring one of these systems over the weekend to take up north, as we dont want to be bring our dive gear with us.

We had contacted the store in Mosman Park the intial query was yes they do hire, then they turned around and said no...

Does anyone else know where we can hire one for the weekend?

 went down to woodies for a look to see who was catching what threw my dinner in the bin where there was a bag full off fillets saying snapper and gummy why keep if ur gunna bin them end off rant

Howdy people, My brother has decided to get married and his bucks night is going to be an Exmouth trip for 2 weeks in february as he gets married in march.
I wanted to ask for ideas on a few fun things I could organise over the trip. Sherbs spoke about everyone using those pink kids rods to try and land small GTs/queenies for an afternoon which I'll be doing. They're the sort of ideas I'm looking for and I'm sure there is going to be some pearlers out there. Even something to fill in time up there if we get a cyclone or 55 degree northerlies.
We have 3 boats and about 8 guys going(25-30yrs), we also do a lot of land-based fishing.
Thanks, Brent

Just an inquiry for all fisherman. Whats the biggest fish anyones caught on the lightest line. For me its 8lb sunline 4-6kg arid rod and a 2000 fe stradic for a 14.6kg mulla

 Hey guys was wondering if anyone uses zipvac machines, hand pump,are they any good? How much and were to buy? Cheerz ........

Crayfishing is new to me and apart from the father in laws pots, i have

never dropped a pot in the water. I am looking at moving to esperance.

Do southern rock lobster go into pots ?

That is the most important question before the move can happen !

 Me and the missus went to get a line wet in the boat this afternoon launched at port kenedy boat ramp at around 1:30pm. Spent most of the afternoon drifting sand patches between the dense weed beds caught a lot of butter fish and some nice size sand whiting, but the elusive squid had not shown yet. Around 4:39pm the float on the hand reel flew under water, my adrenilan rushed as I thought it could be my first squid. As I pulled it in saw this whopper attached to the squid jig a couple of metres behind the float. My catch of the day!

 Just wondering if anyone's been to quobba this last few weeks and how they got on? We are off that way again late July and are so pumped I'm curious to see how it's going. 

Heading to the west side next month for a bit of surfing, fishing and diving in filled with being very very lazy and eating way too much.

wondering if anyone has been and has the goss on landbased. I'm guessing boats are much like in Indo with either lotsa dollars for a flash trip out or hitting in closer with the locals..

Any info will be a bonus 

Hey fellas

Was considering heading up to coral bay this weekend with a mate a towing the boat up (2100 Whittley). Weather doesn't look all the great, so we will probably stay in Perth. 

I haven't fished around rotto for the last 2 months. Mainly been fishing behind Garden Island (FFB) and a little bit out of the hale road reef system. Fishing for me has been a bit hit and miss, getting some good fish and some quiet days.

Thinking about doing a bit of trolling at the chicken run this saturday, <2m swell and light winds. Has anyone been doing alright out there? Probably push out a little wider too.

Cheers,

Alex

I hear its a beach launch that can be a hard retrieve, any tips please as I havent been to lancelin in a few years and wanna go out of there. Its a pretty heavy 19ft fibreglass voyager, got a Pathfinder pulling it  Cheers Dave

the only thing they seem to a gree on is the rain.

i like to add BOM into it as well and think Thursday looks better, Gotta get as much in before i go back to site on monday arvo

Sunday weather was meant to be good but that didnt happen.

Me and a couple of mates headed off 2 rocks looking for some fresh ground and hopefully get some fish. Our original destination was Key Biscayne Oil Rig but the weather wouldnt allow the 5.6m centre consol to handle as we liked.

we decided to turn back and have a look for some ground abit closer to shore and only about 30kms north of 2 rocks.

we were driving in closer to the shore when we seen what looked to be a wierd shape on the sounder.

stopped had a sound around and there was fish.

so down we went, mates first drop got a nice 54cm pinkie. as he was getting that sorted my rod loaded up and up came a 69cm dhui.

stoked as the last 3 times ive been out, ive got dhuis.

after dealing with both fish and putting em on ice, we got back on the spot, down went my rig and within seconds it was loaded to a nice king george. 53cm.

it all went quiet until about 12 then the bite was on. Mate pulled up another nice sized king george and about 5 minutes after that, my rod loaded again. I thought you beauty another dhui. Up came a 71cm dhui.

All in All weather was shithouse but the feed that we got that night was sensational

cheers

 My bro and his mate out shark fishing on the weekend and a little bronzie he got on half a sambo, the bait was bigger than its head and it still managed to get it down.

I will be in the market for  another bream combo soon (Thanks Mr Tax Man).  It'll be used for chucking little hardbodies and plastics into the snags from my tinny. Preferably rated 1-3kg and matched with a 1000 size shimano reel. Just wanted peoples opinions on the rods aroung the 150 mark or less, as I would like to add a nice reel to it with out spend more then about 400 for the pair.

 Has anybody used Bonzer Imports lately?

The web site does not show any prices on electronics (want a tm260) and he did not answer an email.

 can anyone please give some advice on a stella size to suit demersal jigging cheers

Hi Guys,

Just recently come back from a holiday in Asia and went looking at some boating electronics. Wasnt intending too, but was introduced by a family member as we discussed fishing and the likes.

Anyway, the next day went to catch up with them and they were still behind in times with the current model being a 627 and 585. However those were out of stock and he brought out a Furuno FCV-288.

From what i gathered, these are the Asia version of the 295. with exception of the bonded screen and the ability to run any frequency between 38 -200. this model is stuck on 50 and 200.

i have attached the specs, can any of you furuno gurus see if i am missing anything else between the 295.

this cost me about 2200 + tax which includes a 1kw 50hz tranny, and you can add a 200hz for quite cheap as well.

are the above difference a deal breaker for this?

Im after a travel rod to take overseas, preferably around 3-5kg (spinning), that will break down into pieces <80cm with a budget of around $150. Any tips or knowledge on some rods would be great.

Cheers, Eddie

Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how much it costs to get a boat transfered to WA from over east (aus), and the best way of going about it??

Cheers
