anyone on here fished the ponds for catfish etc? do u need ur own gear?

should be a good year on the flatties in the river this year. went out for a flick yesterday lunch time and ended up with 9 flatties and seen a few small flounder following the lure. went breaming last week with a mate and ended up with a few flatties as by catch.

there everywhere!

Sorry People. I usually can find out most info, but this time I am a little confused. I know last year there was an open and closed season for crabs in the sound, i something about the season being extended.

Does anyone know when the season begins or ends and all that.

Thanks

thanks

 Does anyone know what this is? found off onslow

Hi Guys

I just recently bought a secondhand boat with a 2004 40hp four stroke yamaha.

Just wondering if I should be running premium or regular unleaded.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hey guys, so got some nice lights in the boat now and was wondering if it's worth going out for a night fish if I'm going to miss the tide change (Tide on Friday is high at 7:30ish and I'll be on the water 8:30-9) and if it's still worth it, what kind of thing should I look for (ie. gutters, rocks, weed ect ect) withOUT catching any snapper. I know a few good tailor spots but was wondering if they bite all through the night. Hoping for something on the large side of things, Cockburn based btw.

Many thanks!
Damon.

P.S I searched for about 4 hours before asking, searching "night fishing" just brings up 2498576349876534897573498 snapper reports ;)

hay guys just wondering if any of you have the daiwa saltist LD rod. have been getting a lot of good info and it sounds great but havn't been able to see a good picture. so if anyone does have this rod could you get good picture up.

thanks

 Hi all pros, I am contemplating between 2012 catalina 5000H and stella 8000 FA for popping. Put aside the price tag and Saltiga is out of the range for now?

Besides, is the 2012 catalina using the same gears as the Saltiga with lesser ball bearings? Normally the 2 tier reel will be using 2 tier gears? Correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks

 How funny is it that sailfish eat toadfish? Yep you read that right. Can anyone comment?

I read that when sailfish round up balls of toadfish they won't touch a lure- all they want to eat Is toadfish!

 Hi guys, off to Jurien Bay on the 7th Dec for a long weekend, I'll only be land based fishing so Im taking a spinner and my new surf rod, would love some tips/places to go (would prefer to give the surf rod a good bit of usage if I get the chance). Any help greatly appreciated, cheers!

Whatever happened to halco catch scent. I remember it in yellow plastic tubes and the gel was a reddish colour. When it came in contact with the water it would turn the same colour as a yellow highlighter. Is it still around and does anybody remember catching anything of note on it?

 I am wanting to take my 2 young kids fishing around the metro area where they/ I will be able to catch something other than blowies. Spent last 2 weekends at mindarie mid morning, and tried Claremont jetty from 4 pm, then also headed to mandurah at the cut, no fish and no crabs. Any help on places and times, bait etc would be greatly appreciated, would love to be able to show the kids something. Thanks in advance. Anything at point Walter mid morning?

Pic of a chinaman , I shot whilst in fiji a couple of months back , Managed to get hold of a Ciguatera test kit from Hawaii , gave it a test prior to eating..

 G'day All,

Can someone advise what species of fish is this ?

Saw some showering baitfish and cast my floating stickbait and walk the dog back and got this fish instead. Initially I thought this was the baitfish and it was foul hooked. My subsequent cast confirmed that they are indeed the predator cos they follow my stickbait back towards me in school.

I also caught another one on a sinking stickbait.

Here are a couple of Sushi / Sashimi Platters I put together using YFT , Doggie and Wahoo , also used some Small Toothed Jobfish on one. These were from earlier this year when I was in Fiji . Looking forward to giving the YFT a troll this comming full moon at back of Rotto....looks good if some earlier posts are anything to go by..... 

 Haven't been on in a while so thought I would throw up some of my latest photos. Not going to put up any shark photos because I think we all know there is way to much attention on them right now. 

 G'day All,

Just wondering how many people are diving with GoPro cameras? Taking mine out for the first time tomorrow! Contemplating best way/place to attach it, thinking on top of scuba tank or on noose. Any other ideas out there??

Cheers

hi guys , i am interested in peoples opinions on whether the Salmon will be on this season , as the last 2 seasons have put a bit of a fizzer on our annual family trip to Dunsborough!.   cheers

 hey all

           Packing up and heading down dunsborough area on friday Arvo before having  an operation in preparation for dialysis... Be the last opportunity to get nthe drink for a while, was wondering what the abalone and cray snorkelling is like downthere??  I really can't be arsed towing the tub down as I  haven't got a clue where to even start looking!  I'd be happy with a few fish off a Beach and a feed of abs.

Anyone willing to share(pm) a general area/ beach worth a look? I've had a bit of a sarch and a look at maps and Moses rock looks the goods?? I swam bunker bay last year for a feed, but it was a bit of hard work for bugger all!

like I said I'm not after spot x, just a pointer in the right direction. happy to swap info for a trip around he rockingham area in a month or so when recovered. Cheers in advance guys, 

Carl

Apologies for the spelling/ grammar....Farking iPad!

Me and my mate Luke went down to Fishmarket Reserve in Guildford for a beer and a cast in the sun yesterday arvo, usually hit a couple of bream, 1000 reels with 4lb braid, prawns, good fun.  I got a couple of serious bites, bait be gone, same a Luke, beer number two.  I got a little Redfin (sorry bloke, can't put you back), and Luke got something sneaky, taking a little bit of line, thinking it was a big blue manna (caught some on line before), ended up a long necked tortoise, hook swallowed.  I've read from Fisheries sites that undersized fish with swallowed hooks, cut the line 150mm to 250mm from their mouths, interferes with their feeding abilities the least.  Did that and let him go.  Late Saturday arvo, no vets were open and two wildlife rescue sites, we got answering machines.  Have we done the righty?  Any info would be appreciated.

Going to head out fishing the west side of GI tomorrow for tailor, probably flick a few minnows around then grab some squid. Last lot i got around the ammo jetty were on the smaller side. Anyone know where is holding larger ones?

Gday all,

Was visiting someone in rocko today so decided to go have a cast for Tailor at Point Peron early this morning. Arrived about 6.15, cast metals, poppers, bluescode etc for over an hour from as many spots as possible (was low tide so was a bit limited by the fringing reef). Not a touch. Same deal about 2 weeks ago when we went out in the hail like fools. Both times were not 'planned' around tides/times etc, just opportunity to fish.

It ticks all the right boxes for Tailor, and is a very fishy looking area, so just wondering if anyone else has caught some there or nearby?

g day

i have looked in the search button and the subject has come up befor, just wondering, the people who own a new dmax what are your thought about them? thinking about getting one for a work/shooting rig plus towing the boat around etc

cheers
