Went for a quick sesh at mozzies as the forecast (wasnt so bad afterall grrr) wasnt ideal for a tuna troll on the 3 mile so I opted to drop the nets and try and troll up some flatties. After a drop we set off for a troll and before long Brock claimed my rod when it hooked up. Had a decent little run then surfaced was a 40cm flatty and Brock's first. Went and pulled the pots and ended up with a few bigguns but lots of littlies. The woos didnt want to hold his fish after I educated him of the spikes lol. Attatched a pretty crappy vid

Spur of the moment decision this morning, but hoping to get advise on this little boat ramp. Iv got a 15ft aly runabout and will use the mrs' crv, will it be ok at low tide there to launch and retrieve? Never been there thats all just need the heads up, certainly dont want to have an issue retrieving. 

 Hi all,

looking for any input on experiences with 4wd as I'm in the market for a new car.

I have had a 200 series petrol Landcruiser for the last couple of years and it has been awesome but before I blindly just replace it with another, would be good to hear people suggestions.

It will need at least a 3 tonne towing rating and will tow the boat anywhere from the metro area and up to Coral Bay. Apart from towing the boat, it will just be on-road driving around the metro area.

availability may be a big factor as I'd like to get a car within the next couple of weeks.

cheers

 Just wondering what sort of weather conditions would I need to deploy my kayak off of Preston beach? Do big swells run at this beach? I heard the bouvards reef run close in this spot and so guessing good fish will be in close here? 

Cheers!

i could not wait any longer, i had to get out and scratch the itch!!

with the weather not looking the best my 2 boys and myself headed out for some fun anyhow and i was right it was sloopy as hell.

it might look ok in the pics, but it was sloppy!! very steep waves hitting the tub spraying water all over us, hard to stand without holding onto something.

we were hoping to get onto some good sambos from the same spot as last time, only small tackers coming up for the first hour and then they slowly started to get bigger.

not the big boys we got last time, but big enough for some fun.

we got a couple of triple hookups which was madness with us ducking and weaving around each other to land them all, then it was my turn to shine with my favorite jig....jm fallings in chrome....this thing was getting 4 hookups to the boys 1.

troy and blake could not belive i was getting smashed instantly on the bottom and they were getting nothing, then i had a biggen decide he wanted my jig more than me, i felt it scrap againts the rocks and bye bye it went.(oceanside better order some more)

we ended up calling it a day early as they wemt off the bite, but we still managed to get 20+ fish, with 3 larger ones lost on the rocks

brought a couple home for my dogs, they love raw fish!!

some pics of the biggest for the day

cheers ron

 Had a quick pit stop today on the way home from work bream were everywhere big girls cruising the flats managed  5 bream between 33/35cm and the usual bycatch(flatties,grunter) not huge but good to get those headshakes and instant weight and string pulled.Stand out was zman grubs in bloodworm went through 1.5 packets of plastics to blowies but oh well.

Looking at heading out tomorrow morning. Will be first Perth fishing trip.

Would love to get into some inshore bluewater, but not too sure on which forecast to go by. Willyweather cottlesloe?

1.8m for sunday morning, is that realistic? Only have a 4.5 tinny!

 Hi just wondering if amberjack are any good to eat?? Cheers

These are from the Fishing pond on Soi 14 Jomtien, Thailand

All the gear was supplied. Was using a no name 8" GP rod and no name reel. appeared to

be loaded with about 15 pound mono.

The terminal rig was a large wire berley cage loaded with a bread and oil mix, about 10 cm to a small hook and piece of bread.

While bored waiting for my missus buying crap in a beading shop, I noticed these shark teeth being sold to make jewellery etc. Asked shop lady where they're from, Indonesia was the reply.

Is this a bad thing? I dunno. They're all pretty bloody small. Though i guess, the sharks they came from would've been killed anyway for meat so they may aswell make a few extra cents off the teeth? There was also heaps of shells, I imagine also from Indo, all the spirally types. I don't think its a great idea to encourage taking shells and things.

With the avo off work i thought to myself what better way to spend it than walking the flats of the Swan River .

Upon arrival i was greeted with a light Easterly and 32ish degrees so i was super eager to get in the water. The water was almost glass on the flats so it looked super inviting.

Todays plan was to fish sub surface style stickbaits. So i tied on a Berkley 3B subdog and off i went .

As the afternoon was intended to work out which style of retrieve worked out best i was not yo confident that the afternoon was going to be a overly productive one but how wrong was I !

First cast hits the water , a couple of short twitches of the rod and i got a all mighty whak but unfortunatly missed the hookup , what a great sign i was thinking , and i was right as almost every 3rd cast was resulting in hookups or good hits. Over the afternoon I ended up landing my fair share of bream and loosing a few more to big bust off's.

The method i found best with the 3B subdogs on the day was to cast out and let the lure hit the bottom , then retrieve with 7 or so very small consistent twitches followed by a small pause then repeat , this proved to be deadly on the flats and in some snags with most fish comming straight after the pause when I began twitching again.

Can anybody please help by identifying this lure? I received it free with a fishing magazine years ago and have no idea what it is. It is a fantastic little lure and has caught a wide range of fish until a little Barracuda smashed it during a holiday up north and now it won’t swim properly. I haven’t had any luck finding it in local tackle shops so I thought if someone could tell me the name/brand I might have more joy.

 Hey guys,

dropping cray pots in for the first time this weekend and I was just wondering what kind if ground, depth I should be looking for at the moment as I'm still a virgin to this. I will be fishing the mandurah waters. Any help will be great.

Cheers!

Just wondering is it better to try around fremantle area at this time of year or better to be putting in some hours around narrows or canning bridge area's?

Just don't know how far up they are yet or if they are even in the river in numbers?

Cheers
