I wonder how many others go out fishing and get a bit wound up in the moment and then forget to take a few decent happy pics???

Had two days out fishing over the weekend and caught some decent fish, but after the dust settled below is what I ended up with... ;-)

Hence why the heading of "HUGE Room For Improvement" Also managed to get half a snap of a decent cray in the bottom left.....

 hi fellaz, got a 4.5m runabout jut wondering where off mindarie closish to shore i may be able to get something decent instead of whiting lol. troll for tailor? look for snapper ? i have a cheapo colour echo too lol

hey guys just wondering what people think is better bait or lures

 someone might have already postedthis so if so my apologies but does anyone have home remedies in order to take away the fish smell after handling fish/cutting/filleting fish etc. Find no matter how many times i was my hands still smells like dead mullet.  Cheers for any helpful tips  .

the ladies were having a picnic lunch down by lilac hill today and saw a bloke carry a metre long croaker,is it unusal to get big ones so far up river, he looked very happy apparently

 hello all,

during a recent fishing trip with the family, the topic of the ones that got away arose,

my cousion and uncle mentioned a few years ago they caught a large round thing with a black spot and enlongated spines on the dorsal fins, Large head and mouth etc etc, not knowing at the time they released a nice size John Dory and only after they got back home and researched did they realise their folly.

around a year ago i visited the underwater observatory at the end of the busso jetty and was shocked to spot one lazily cruising a sand bed.

 ive read these fish are one of the best of the best eating fish in the ocean, but never hear of any one chasing them 

so my question here is has anyone caught one and could you release some insight into the targeting of these elusive fish?

light searching of the web and few fishing books mention a live whiting fished near the bottom...

 Hey guys, planning a trip at easter to lucky bay, will head north to wagoe, just wondering how far south i can get and is it worth a look/ fish?

hey

does anyone know of any good fishing spots along jindalee, quinns bech, quinns rocks or mindarie

Hi Guys we are offering awesome special pricing on some top end gear. These prices are a once off and only on instore stock until it runs  out or until the end of the sale. There are limited colours available for the reels so first in best dressed. This Sale will run from the 6th of March until the 17th of March and no extensions will be given. If you need Braid for these outfits we can look after you on that too.

First up we have:

Jigging Master Powerspell PE3 matched with the JM Evolution Titanium 150 OH (Gold) A light overhead combo suited to light bottom bouncing and an awesome Demersal jigging outfit for the overhead lovers. This combo we are doing for $

Next is the Jigging Master Powerspell PE3 matched with the JM Evolution 200 OH (Red). This outfit is perfect for general bottom bouncing and as a medium demersal or light Samsonfish jigging outfit. We have sold plenty of these particular outfits over the past couple of years because it is so universal! This outfit we are doing for $

The Jigging Master Powerspell PE3 can also be matched with the Jigging Master Three Kings Special UL OH. Similiar to the Evolution Titanium's but feature a slightly quicker taper and Black cosmetics with a gold trim. This rod paired with the JM Powerspell PE3 reel is now $

Now something for the Samson fish jigging enthusiasts or the heavy bottom bouncer. The following outfits are more than capable of tussling the local shallow water and deep water sambo's or if you want to jig for small to medium Dogtooth tuna. Big Dhuies and the likes will be no match for this gear too.

The Powerspell PE5N or the PE6 paired up with the Jigging Master Evolution Titanium 300 OH is now $

The Powerspell PE6 paired up with the Jigging Master Evolution Titanium 350 OH is now $

Or for something really nice then the PE6 matched with the Jigging Master Three Kings Special Light OH it is now $

For the fellas and ladies that want something that is nothing short of a stump puller yet wont hurt you (too much) than the following outfits will pull BIG Bass Grouper, Harpuku, Blue Eye Trevalla and Greyband Cod in the deep water or XOS Dogtooth Tuna from overseas.

The Jigging Master Powerspell PE8 boasts 80lb of drag pressure at MAX and when paired to either the JM Evolution Titanium 400 OH or the Three Kings Special medium you have a weapon on your hands. These outfits we can do for $

Then you have the Powerspell PE10. This reel is large and has a crazy drag capacity of 100lb's at max. This reel has plenty of spool capacity for those that want a manual outfit for the Super deep. Pair them with the JM Evolution Titanium 400 OH or the Three Kings Special medium and your set to go. We will do these combo's at $

For anyone that wants to do the Super deep fishing and wants an idea of What to use, What your looking for on the sounder, General areas and depths to look at and any other Super deep info dont hesitate to come instore and we will point you in the right direction to get onto the Super deep fish just like we have with plenty of other Fishwrecked members. We offer discount where as many other "Big stores" wont so as per ussual you are always entitled as a Fishwrecked member to recieve a discount on all purchases except bait just be sure to mention you are a member so we can apply it.

Cheers from the boys here at Oceanside Tackle and Marine.

does anyone know any good fishing spots in jindalee in the northern suburs of perth

 Hi All,

Keen to get out this weekend for deep stuff or trolling for...  anything really! Water temp is very promising at the moment. 

Got all my gear for any sort of fishing, and do all the usual, skipper, clean, fillet ... etc. Prefer NoR, but also don't mind SoR. 

Let me know if you got a spot available.

I'm pretty happy with this one. I tried an underbind below the pattern and it came up pretty good for a first attempt. Fuji Alconites with some Mudhole bling. I particularly like the grips and Texalium split grip.

 hey guys. heading up to seabird on the weekend and am planning to soak a couple of big baits after dark. just wondering if anyone has any advice on the area and what we may catch? and what the best baits might be? hopefully the weather holds out. 

 hey guys caught this at steep point while fishing for snapper any ideas?

cheers

Hey guys

Looking at getting a trolling/bottom bouncing combo. Something decent at both as I don't go out often enough to get one for each.

I like the look of the Tyrnos and the price seems reasonable. Combo around $400 is where I would put my budget at.

Not sure in which size too, I guess the smaller the better because of the weight but wouldn't have a clue. 

Would be used metro to try for macks, tuna, Dhus etc

If not the Tyrnos any other recommendations would be great.

Cheers

Heading back to Vic in April chasing the elusive Sambar deer.

Whilst over there I'm gonna have a crack at some wild brown's and rainbow's. Got the reel and lures sorted but need to get my hands on a 4 piece spinning travel rod.

 Has any one seen or heard any results from the blue marlin classic out of Fremantle ocer the weekend?

Bought for my daughter this morning a daiwa aird 2500sh reel that also has a 3000 size spool in the box any feedback on this reel was thinking of putting some 10lb sunline on the first spool but dont know what I should put on the 3000 size spool plus put a rcs knob on the reel to bling it up for her its going on a daiwa generation black rod

 Guys i'm looking at getting a Permatrim for my 5m Seafarer, it has a 90etec.

Does anyone have these fitted, interested in hearing whether it does all the things they say it will. Also, is it difficult to fit?

Any feedback welcome.

Cheers

 Got my first Mack this weekend up near leeman on spear. Never been so excited to pull a trigger on a fish or just to see one cruising by as I was sitting 10m down looking around. Didn't fight that hard as I got a good head shot on it and had it to the surface and in my hands in a few minutes.

Hi all,

I am planning a trip to Exmouth during the 2 weeks of April school holidays.  As I have only 1 week to spare, I can go on week 1 or 2.  The full moon coincides with the latter half of the first week and I would like some feedback from fishos as to your exploits around the full moon.  Will be doing the normal Exmouth stuff of trolling for pelagics, bottom fishing in the 100's and evening fishing in the shallows.

Any feedback would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

Chris

I'm thinking less work , mess and time when we get home . So I suppose the go would be to put the fish on ice to firm it up for a while ,  min 30cm length fillet with skin and scales intact . Then give it a wash in the sea water and put into a largish ziplock bag and expel all air ... Put it on top of ice bag ready to go straight into fridge / freezer when you get home.. Any of you blokes fillet on the boat ? ... The regulations seem clear enough , but could I get confirmation that I'm reading it right and that it includes filleting dhu and snapper etc ... Cheers in advance
