Hi good people, I'm seeking some advice on what type of transducer I should buy for a furuno fcv 582 I have just brought. I do most of my fishing under 100 metres, the transducer socket is 8 pin, I'm new to furuno stuff so any and all advice is most gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Guys,

Any crabs still around in the cockburn sound?

Never done it before, just been given some crab nets and thinking of giving it a go over Easter Weekend, so any tips would also be appreciated !

 I cannot believe that some people think that is acceptable to go to any place on earth and leave rubbish behind.

Most of our fishing spots are beautiful scenic locations but they are getting trashed by pigs leaving litter behind. I nearly always pick up some rubbish but i find it sooooo disheartening to think that other pricks just throw their rubbish away.......how hard is it to take it home.

I can never understand how people can litter.....were their parents dirty dogs too.....were'nt they educated about right and wrong

You are going somewhere lovely to escape from the world and enjoy some fishing and fun would,nt you like to leave it nice not strewn in empty stubbies, discarded fishing line and dead blowfish. 

Im sure all fishwrecked members are innocent......... where the F=+k do these clowns come from.

Assume some sort of eel type thing?

300+m deep out of Exmouth

any ideas?

Enjoy

Just been weighed this evening in Exmouth at Gamex.

As reported on EGFC facebook page....

NEW STATE RECORD BLUE MARLIN!!! Congrats to Mark McKay and all the crew on Blue Horizon for their pending new state all tackle record Blue Marlin which weighed 354.5kg on 60kg line (the previous record was 330.1kg). Poor Peter Anderton has the job of filleting this one again after the earlier 200kg fish. Again all of this fish is being trucked to Perth to feed the homeless

 G'day all. So I'm a beach fisher and only occasionally get out in a boat and when I do it is a whiting session with my dad and his mates.

I've decided to get out in the boat a bit more and also am likely to take it to dongara in a month or so for a week camping with my own kids.

truth be told I'm flummoxed at what gear I should be buying to target your basic bottom species.

I decided after research here and other to pick up a TLD25 combo like the $199 special at Campbell's online, but when I went in to store the guy tried to steer me to jigging setup.  He was a top bloke and I've no doubt jigging is fun but looking at $450+ for a combo was a tad heavy for me.  the only boat suitable gear I have is a shimano jewel/stradic2500 combo I got from compleat in neddies a few years back for soft placcies off the beach in coral bay (v. Unsuccessful btw). And it makes a nice bream set up etc in the river and skippy off the boat. The heavier spool has 20lb braid.

so questions for you kind people. 

i) basic bottom fishing combo... What would you get... Be specific or just talk type of rod.  O/h or spin? This is where the tld combo was my choice but guy at Campbell's clearly felt clunking a heavy rig over the bottom was a bit Neanderthal

ii) soft plastic bottom setup.  Same as above or different. Would my current set up cope or am I headed for all kinds of trouble if a real fish took an interest.

iii) jigging... This may be 2nd hand... But what is a decent combo. &nbsp;Links to articles ok.</p><p>there are just so many bloody options out there god dammit lol.

lastly, if I wanted to try a bit of trolling I assume the tld combo would do the job no?

thanks in advance... As I say boat fishing novice and not enough $$$ to make a mistake in the purchase.  We are talking quality entry level btw... No $600 reels it ain't going to happen.

just watching river monsters on ABC and these snake head fish are agro!

Hi All,

Im pretty new to the forum, i am heading out tomorrow morning to do a bit of fishing for the first time in my new boat (out deep), looking at the map i might go along the cost and head out just before scarbs as it looks to be a bit of minefield out there.

any tips on good depth to fish as i will be probably just using the sounder to find some good ground.

Cheers Dan
