 Are my mates soft? or am I crazy? I wanna head out tonight round the freo area maybe moles if either is open or the sheds but my mates don't wanna know bout it so it looks like I'm on my own again. Anyone else in the same dilemma? 

 G'day,

I've been looking at getting a boat built and found oceanuc fabrications in Henderson... I've tried looking on here and on other sites for reviews but can't find much info.

just wanted to know if anyone has one of their boats and want to know what they are like?

any info would be good

 This is probably a little bit different to most snapper discussions, but a couple days ago the mrs and I went to AQWA for a look on a lazy day off. When we went through the underwater walk through aquarium section, I saw a few fish that looked similar to pink snapper, but they were a dark red colour instead of pink and the pronounced snout bump was more like a small horn rather than a large round bump (excuse the lack of correct terminology). Is this some sort of subspecies as I've never seen a fish like it. I can't find anything via google search so I've got no pic. Can anyone shed any light on what they are? 

heading to Exmouth on Thursday and the forecast is not looking to flash for Friday through to Sunday.

Does anyone know where I can find a long range forecast that will shed some light on the rest of next week?

has anyone been fishing the broome jetty lately if so what fish? how big?

Gday All,

With the weather looking pretty rough this week me and a mate thought we would give the river a shot this friday, i have been fishing mainly around maylands for a bit of bream which has been doing well, but i thought with the rain coming it might be worth taking the tug a bit further downstream, maybe chasing some tailor around mossies, or flathead.

havent done alot of boat fishing in the swan and especially not in the cooler months, does anyone else have some good ideas for the swan this time of year, and what has been running of late?

Any advice/ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks again Dan

 hey guys

im looking at getting an overhead combo for fishing of beaches jettys for sharks mullas etc and maybe offshore every so often. was looking at the tld 25 with beastmaster combo at campbells tackle but would like some input from you guys before i commit! i have a budget of $250-$350 maybe $400 max

cheers 

 Hi everyone

I am borrowing a Shimano Tekota 800 from a mate and he wants to sell it to me. I am pretty happy with it overall but I would like to cast it further as I am land based 99% of the time. The main issue is it occasionally over runs mid cast and I think it is due to the braid having to go through the level wind so I cant really put any real effort into a cast.

So my main question is will removing the level wind help with this at all or will it just end up causing other problems?

Also are there any rods around that can take an overhead reel at around the 10- 12 foot length that are not too expensive (less than $150)?

Cheers

Brendon 

 I'm looking at buying a new tug for the boat and van and it's come down to either a jeep grand Cherokee or a mitsi Pajero, both auto diesels. Does anyone know of any underlying problems with either of these two cars that the dealers are "forgetting" to mention ?

cheers guys

Gday all,

just got back from a couple of weeks in shark bay, had a great time bit windy first week, still managed to get the boat out most days though but had to stay within the bay, as we dont want to hammer our spots we only go to the same spots twice on a holiday last week went to one of our spots for the first time this year was there about half hour when one of the two charter operators in town[not unreal charters, they are reputable and I would, and do recommend them to anybody]so that only leaves 'mac attack' came right up to us abusing us wanting to know how we got...... 'his'........ spot because apparently nobody knows this particular fishing spot, the abuse we endured was quite unbelievable especially when we had our families on board and he had a full charter was unbelievable and very unpleasant, as we were out to have an enjoyable day I told my mate to pack up and we would shift to another spot, so the big bully boy thought he won that round, Has anybody else experienced the very profesional behaviour of this skipper? I told as many people in shark bay about our experience as possible because I believe good operators should be recognised and bad operatores named, I was going to give out the coordinates for the spot, but eventually decided not destroy one of my fishing spots.

 Hi guys, as the weather has started to cool off ive noticed that the tailor schools have been harder to find. Personally ive managed 2 legal tailor from the hillarys north wall last week, last time i had caught tailor before that was in february. I wanted to know, what would be better, beach or rock fishing for tailor during winter? Im certainly heading to club capricorn soon over the next few weekends, as i had some success there last year, but again they were all in the 40-45 cm range. What can i do to possibly find some that are over 50cm, i only seem to find the little ones. I use small metals and poppers and also use weighted mulies, all have produced small ones, no big ones in perth yet.

 Any help would be great. 

  Cheers

 G'day all, I would appreciate some advice on a combo for use at the Broome Jetty.

Basically, I get to go up there a couple of times a year for only a few days at a time for work. My mate has a house up there where I want to leave a rod and reel combo so I can have a crack at the jetty. I've been down to the jetty quite a few times, mainly for lunch at the wharf though, but there always seems to be some action with people catching threadfin, trevs and macks.

What would be a cheap combo, preferably 2 piece for travel there, that would hold up to the odd sesh at the jetty?

Any help would be really appreciated!

 Hi All

not having much luck here this week.  Got half a day of fishing left in the morning before the swell picks up and the winds start blowing.

if anybody is willing to give me one spot it would be greatly appreciated.

needs to be not to far out from the back of the reef as I don't want to get caught 30kms out if the wind picks up.

pls PM me if you feel generous.

the kids and I will be in your debt.

cheers

Hi guys looks like im going to be heading to Gladstone for work. just wondering if anyone has had a chance to fish around there? what should i expect?

Hey everyone,

Is anybody able to please point me in the direction of some decent sized gardies for ballooning? Can't seem to find any and was hoping somebody had noticed some for sale somewhere...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Just wondring if anyone has been catching big stuff, landbased around the metro waters.

Really want to get into it

Cheers

hey guys im planning to go out for a fish in the morning out of hillarys for dhuies and snapper wondering if anybody has some suggestions of where i should go and maby some advice if so thanks

Absolutley superb day on the water today, took the dinghy around 6 kms out and got some decent fish. None of the fish are huge but still made for a good day out with

my young fellas.

All fish were legal size, snapper was 52cm. My first decent Breaksea and Harlequin.

Caught a few othe Breaksea that were size but put them back.

Sambo was given to the mother in law. (did the right thing and filleted it for her) lol

Had 4 bustoffs from what I think was sambos, might have to re-spool with something heavier than 20LB.

Harlequin made a superb meal.

Love to hear how others went Today.

has anybody had any luck with the lb squid lately and on what jigs

cheers

 G'day Guys

Hoping that someone has a good tip as to how to separate a seized ferrule on my deepjig 200. Where the rod inserts into the butt section is seized tight. Always a tight fit but on my last trip out I failed to separate the two and now I cant get them apart. Anyone got any bright ideas that might free the two pieces ?

cheers

 Hey Guys

I am fairly new to fishing and new to the site I  was just after  some advice. I should be getting a boat on Wed providing the mechanic gives it the all clear. It's a Haines 650f what sort of set up should I be looking to buy and where are some good places to try and catch some fish. I would be taking the kids out as well at times so any tips on how to keep them interested would be great.

Cheers
