 Morning fellow fishermen, does anyone know where I can get a ocean/estuary fishing net in the mandurah area.

 hi guys. My family and i have relocated to yallingup about 5 months ago. I drive in and out of perth every 6day shift.  I was wondering if anyone is kind enough to point me in the right direction or even catchup for a fish offshore sometime. I take my 7/5 yr olds out most times. I was advised to go out to 15-18m make off eagle bay, which i did and sound around which i did but didn't find any productive spots. If someone can give any advice i would b most greatful. Message or replies would really b great.  I have a little 18ft fibre glass boat with a relatively new hds 5 sounder, still learning to navigate with.i know no fisho gives his spots away but anything would b great.. tight lines. . Regards Don

 I have been looking at boats and have come across the above mentioned. Does any one have any info on them? I have also been looking at the Trophy 2359 Hardtops with the diesel inboard. I am looking to change from my centre console to a dryer boat as my two little ones and wife are normally with me. As a family we mainly use the boat for fishing, but weekenders aren't out of the question.

me n a mate are heading out today for a bash with the sambos?? anyone been hooking some monsters?? i got 2x 30kg monsters on monday

 hello fellow fishers.. i am new to dunsborough and having trouble finding some fishing spots out from eagle bay area by boat. Does  anyone know where i can get detailed nautial charts of the reefs around the cape naturalist?  Thanks for all your input... Don

Does anyone have some tips on how to clean the last bits of black stuff out of squid tubes before cooking ? There's always a bit left, and nothing but picking at it for hours will shift it. Any thoughts much appreciated. Cheers, Dan

Need some local advice please.

Taking boat down to Dunsborough with the family in couple of weeks.

Looking on my charts, I thought Wright Bank looks close enough.  The chart states "breaks in moderate swell".

Is it relatively safe?  Will have kids on the boat.

Cheers,

JW

 Hey guys can someone let me know if theres any decent fish getting caught out.of hillarys  im usially out 20-30mile but.i havent been out from hillarys in yonks  any info would be much appreciated.

 Was thinking about going crabbing land based but a mate of mine went to mandurah 2 weeks ago and only got 2. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go to catch a feed... Would prefer scooping af anyone knows! 

Cheers guys

Anybody been down or currently at Hamelin that can give us a report ? im heading down over the weekend and just wanted to know whats biting at the moment ?

Hi People.

Can somebody confirm if its OK to gut/gill fish at sea(South Coast)?

I realise filleting/skining is a big no no.

Will be staying in holday accom so cleaning at the unit is out.Only the 1 cleaning station in Albany and its usually very busy and you need to fight the pelicans at times.

Looked thru the South Coast Region Guide,its not 100% clear on the issue.

Thanks

Andrew

 Took father in law out for a fish last week for his first jigs only day,

Caught 7 species for the day all on jigs / old boy used plastics with this trout being a nice surprise and my first in local waters.

Also had a visit from a GW that followed a duey all the way to the boat, scarey when you here of these dudes jumping in to retrieve a fish.

Species caught - Trout, Duefish, snapper, samson, yellowtail king, black ass , balchin all released except the two in photos.

Cheers Boomer

 Whilst my uncle was out fishing yesterday he found a boat seat and what looks like a lid to a ice box or compartment of some sort. I have photos of them but don't want to post them for a obvious reasons. If you have lost them though PM me with the description. 

They were found about 20nm out past the warnboro / Cockburn sound. 

Thanks. 

 I have experience in many teachniques but havent got into trolling. I am hoping to catch tailer and even a spanish mackeral.


Here are a few questions, any answers are much appreciated!

1. What speeds approx
2. How much line should i let out
3. How should the rig be designed
4. Any particularly good lures for tailer, mackeral and tuna.

5. How far out and where abouts should i go for tailor?**

Cheers

 Howdy guys,
Got a fishing charter on apache fishing charters for christmas.
Anyone been out on it? Good fun? Good catches?
Just after information.

someone had to do it, tight lines,calm seas and many PBs,no breakdowns etc and may your footy team do well. remember tomorrow will be here soon

well unfortunatley my olfd rod has come to its end (broken) so now im stuck between the perflueger trion and the shimano mexican fire raider just for lures for fish like bream whiting and flathead so what do you guys recomend? has anyone had any of the rods before?

 Crabs have been vey slow. And over the last couple of seasons have been getting hammered with more and more people realising they can get big boys in the river. Do you think there should be a ban put in place for a season or two to let them recover before it gets to delapitated. As usual everyone reacts to late and the damage has been done. We used to do 2 pulls and have our20. And quite often we would have double bangers haven't had one for years  just a thought to see what everyone else thinks. Cheers. 

 Just bought one. Anybody got one or used one before. Have been told that they are realm nice but would be interested if anyone here has a opinion on them. 

hey just wondering what this fish is? after it calmed down a little the yellow stipes kind of dissapered and evened out with the brownish colour

Hi All,

I'm interested in installing chart software on my desktop and was wondering what you can recommend please?

Obviously focusing on WA (or Australian) waters.

EDIT: Oh, I should add, OS is W7 :)

The headline says it all "Where'd my catch go? Spectacular photo captures moment great white is gobbled by an EVEN BIGGER shark as it's hauled into fisherman's boat"
 

Been to South Beach groyne 5 or six times, morning, afternoon, dusk with prawns, squid, mulies, soft plastics, burley, hardbodies and never caught jack.  Is the place cursed or is it me?

 Went to buy some prawns and scallops today to celebrate my bday and stupidly paid $37 a kilo for some carnarvan king prawns. Seriously WTF!!!!
