Stuck cray pot help
Submitted by Paul_86 on Fri, 2012-12-14 18:46G'day guys,
So I've managed to get 2 cray pots snagged out from ocean reef on the 3 mile, in about 12-14m's of water. I've tried my hardest to unstick them but havnt managed to. So I need a diver to help me get them back. I'm happy to pay for there tanks to be filled or a carton of beer or take you to a few different spots to try get some crays for yourself. I've got a Quintrex 480 coast runner with a small dive ladder off the back. I was hoping to try recover them Sunday morning while the weather is nice.
Any takers?

Weather Sunday
Submitted by trav32 on Fri, 2012-12-14 18:18Im still figuring out the weather these days the change of season has left me scratching my head at times! Just wondering what you blokes reckon about the weather for Sunday in bunbury? Do you think there will be much surface chop during the morning? I'm hoping to take my kayak out but chop on the surface caused by wind makes fishing unpleasant. Your opinions greatly appreciated

Surf popper rigs
Submitted by Fisher Kid on Fri, 2012-12-14 16:37I am making some surf poppers like Colin Hays ones from Fishwrecked-reeltime, but im unsure of how theyre rigged. Is the surf pooper above the gangs on the main line or the surf pooper below likle this image suggests. I would have thought the popper would be above as it floats, but im not sure.

Suggestions for which charter to take approx 22 clients out on - Pref NOR
Submitted by Sammy the Salmon on Fri, 2012-12-14 10:18Hi All,
As above.
If you had to take 22 of your clients out on a fishing charter NOR (up to Two Rocks) who would you call?
Got a Mate in this predicament right now, and all I have ever been on is charter to about 14 or so MAX, so just wondering what his options are.
Cheers

Scam
Submitted by catchalittle on Fri, 2012-12-14 09:22
Hi Guys
We have come across this website (fishingforsale.com.au) and it appears to be a fake/scam website. The images and content are almost entirely stolen from another online retailer and the 'about us' section makes out it is Australian but doesn't appear to be australian of origin at all. The contact us details have an address in a different state to the phone number and when you look at the 'who is' details, the owners/operaters of the website are different again and have an overseas contact number.
The prices on this website are RIDICULOUSLY cheap but apparently when you order something they ring you up and ask for you to direct transfer money into an account. This is extremely dodgy to have this as the only way of payment and I would say that you would never see that money again or the products you bought.
...
We just thought we would share it on here to make sure no-one gets stung while chasing a Christmas bargain.
Whether it's this website or another, always check out an online retailer before you purchase from it. Make sure it has a real business behind it and only ever do direct deposits with a company that you know and trust.

Woodman Point ramp and fishing
Submitted by buddharock on Thu, 2012-12-13 18:19Just wondering if anyone had any advice for fishing out of Woodman point? Heading down next week with the family (boys are 5 and 3) and camping, hoping to take the boat and catch a feed of crabs or squid? It is a 14ft, forward steer ali with flat deck but the sounder is rubbish, only give depth and I use the Navionics app on my phone as the gps plotter. General advice/locations obviously, don't need the secret spots... Just thinking of packing as light as possible and taking minimal gear. Thanks!

GME Epirb- is this one any good.
Submitted by Quobbarockhopper on Thu, 2012-12-13 12:38Was reading a couple of posts bout Epirbs with better locating systems etc and it got me thinking about mine... This came with the boat and I figured it was a decent one, but after reading about the differences in GPS between models etc I thought I'd ask...
Mine is a gme 406 with 121 MHz homer... Does this have the good GPS that I've been reading about? It states that it is detected by global satellite system using cospas-sarsat, but is this the better system that is available? I've attached a couple pics.
I know it's an olderish model but if anyone could tell me if I need to upgrade it to something better, it'd be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Beach fishing - Gutters
Submitted by Griffo84 on Thu, 2012-12-13 11:46G'day everyone,
Can anyone please give me a few tips on how to locate gutters along a sandy beach. I live in Singleton and have fished the beach there plenty of times chasing mulloway with no real luck. Do you walk out waste deep until there is a considerable drop off or do you mainly study how the waves are breaking? Sometimes if its an onshore breeze the water can be quite messy which makes it a little more difficult to suss out what's going on. Also how deep/big does a gutter have to be to take an interest to it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ben

Best braid for Barra
Submitted by Braxi on Wed, 2012-12-12 13:44Hi,
I was just wondering what the best braid anyone uses for barra. I currently use 30lb Spiderwire and 30lb Power Pro. I havent had any dramas with those so far but I have just bought a Shimano Stella 4000SW from Oceanside Tackle (thanks heaps for the great deal Oeanside) and want to make sure that I have got a quality braid on it. It will be mostly used for flicking lures and plastics and some occasional trolling. Landed 2 nice barra yesterday up the creek.
Thanks.
