G'day Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me where I can catch some yelowtail for bait.

Use to be able to get them at the rockingham jetties but haven't seen them there in any great number for a while now.

North or Southe of the river, boat or lanbased, is all accessible to me.

Thanks.

Ive got the old man visiting from over East and want to take him out on the boat for a quick fish tomorrow morning. I cant seem to find daily licenses on the WA fisheries website. Do you rerally need to buy a 12 month license to fish for 1 day of the year? In Vic they have daily licenses sold at most tackle shops?

Cheers

Jarrod

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 Hey guys I'm thinking of trying to get a big shark off the shore. A couple off mats have got some big ones off like woodies and that and I wanna bit of the action! Anyone know of any other spots that have been producing??

Found this swept up on the beach the other day

 Hi all, just looking over some charts for a few spots for Saturday and have noticed a few holes out wide. I know we normally fish lumps but has anyone had success fishing this sort of thing? Depth is from 30-40 and 40-55.

thinking about giving it a shot

I have the chance to get some fishing line for next to nothing

It is a 'hollow' line possibly 'dacron'

white/cream in color, with one dark grey/blue thread wound through it

It is roughly as thick as string, (does NOT look like string) and wound onto a damaged hand line, it looks like it would be good for 20 plus Kg fishing at least - I think - but I will admit up front I have no clue at all.

I've looked on various fishing adds on the net but can't see it advertised anywhere so thought I should ask the guys who use the stuff.

It is not shiny like Mono

It is hollow

it is round

Thanking you all in advance

Paul

anything happening there at the moment?

i still have no idea on what to look for out deep, but here is a shot from our sounder.
what is showing on the sounder? mud,weed, hollow rock, fish?
any help would be much appreciated

I have sent off a email to Hummingbird but though there might be some tech savvy hummingbird gurus out there

i recently tried to use my new hummingbird gps/sounder

I could only change the views between optional GPS views and could not get any Sonar views

have I missed something simple with set up?

Just looking on Perth now - looks like some wild storms in the South West, pictures of Tornado out to see looks pretty awesome.

anyone down south copping the weather? more importantly hope no one is out in the water.

amazing how the weather can be so unpredictable.

 Hi guys

Just wandering what your thoughts are on having the stereo on while fishing in shallow water.

Anyone think it puts fish off?

 My electric boat winch cable  is fraying and needs to be replaced and I am seeking advice as per below.

1. Should I replace with steel cable again or is there something better to use.(running it through a roller hook)

2. Any recomendations to where to buy from ( south of river) 

Any further information also appreciated.

 G'day all just wondering any squid being caught dampier / withnell bay might give it a crack tomorrow.

Cheers Carry

Was always led to believe the foxfish was excellent eating but just read that this sites fish species ID has that it is average eating.
Whats others take on it?
No doubt will keep the next one I catch and try for myself but curious to know others thoughts from experience.

 The girlfriends parents are in today at around 2 pm, so I'm going to go chuck some lures around trigg, never been there but I've researched enough ( many thanks to the posters on this site) to hopefully get onto some fish later in the day, is anybody interested in a cast? If so let us know, I'm always stoked to learn some new things and to share some bullshit haha 

 I'm having problems loading picture to the site. They seem to be there when I look but I don't think anyone else can see my post. Can some help please. ThAnks

Will try another pic with  this post

cheers winnie. 

 Just wondering if there's and salmon showing up down dunsborough way going to head there this weekend

 Just received my boat insurance renewal & I'm not sure that its worth the insured amount. Thats not their fault, its just that I havent adjusted the value over the years. 1994 4.5 mtr Quintrex bay hunter. 40 hp  merc. good cond  i dont want to be paying more than i need to. Is there a source of information on boat valuations as there is with red book etc for cars? Or can some of you make a guess at what it might be worth?

found this video and it gave me a right chuckle, he is bloody brave, but i just cant see his plan of landing anything once its hooked

One day to go and Coral Bay here we come. To say that I am keen would be an understatement !

DOUBLE POST - SORRY

Hi guys, first time poster here so bare with me cheers (and bare with me on another salmon thread sorry). Heading down to dunsborough for the rest of this week purely to chase salmon, as I was down there 2 weekends ago and had many close calls, breaks off's etc etc fishing off the beach at bunkers, so am keen for another shot. I will be hitting up the coast anywhere between dunsborough and augusta basically, and want to know if the late salmon run has started yet or if there are still fish schools down there? I have read all the recent forums on here, and it seems they are still running in patches but would love to know if any of you have had success lately or heard of anyone getting into the salmon, and if so maybe general areas (doesnt need to be spots). I will try out hamelin bay one day, but since I haven't been there for over a decade I cant remember if there are any fishing restrictions (no fishing zones etc) or where the tracks are onto the beach. Any help on that matter would be great! Apologies for the long post, its my last shot this season for salmon and I am keen to catch one.

have a genesis  6.1

up until now it has been uncarpeted, non slip ali deck.  self draining decks, mainly used for fishing....north trips etc. but occ used river wine cruise.

anyone here have opinions as to whether carpet is better or not. 

just doing it up a bit at the moment over winter and wondering if carpet would be a worthy addition.  how does it go for cleaning etc.

I usually wear thongs in the boat.

1. cos the non slip deck is like sandpaper (not bad for a day out but spend 10 days straight 10 hrs a day (love to fish hard sometimes !!!) and Im sure Im a cm shorter!)

2. fatigue etc.

carpet help? or just be harder to clean and smell bad etc???

cheers guys

im coming into about $400-$450 soon and was thinking of either an overhead or spin combo that will be mostly used for jettys like busso and rocks for salmon etc... was thinking stradic 4000 or 5000 with 20lb braid on a 8 or 9 footer. any better suggestions? would an overhead be better seeing as i would have acess to a boat every so often? i have posted before about this i was going to start buying gear for lb shark fishing so im caught between a rock and a hard place!

any input welcome especially from you jetty and rock specialists

Some say they are a great thing, some say they are only good as a storage unit...

What are your thoughts?
