Hello all , got this unholy combination of a flathead and a gurnard today

off carnac , we looked in one book and we reacon it is a --------

See what you think.

Was released unharmed of course , after we checked for its third eye! ( see simpsons episode)

oh and it has our bait ( half a squid head ) in its gob, in case your wondering if its foaming at the mouth haha.

Just wondering, has anyone been catching any goo KG's in the sound lately? Been trying but either none around or im not in the right spot

Hi all, been hitting up a few spots in the river for some Tailor, had a small amount of success but am after a few spots, quite fancy trying out aroudn Matilda Bay, which side of the bay is better? Hacket Drive side or Charles Courst Reserve side? any other Tailor bashing spots would be greatly appreciated, still a Perth Newbie so bear with me when it comes to the river geography.

Cheers boys

After having to regretfully move from Port Hedland to Perth, having to regretfully leave the boat behind I'm now trying to get a fishing fix in the Perth area.

I know someone who is a keen flyfisherman and who has recently bought a 4.2m tinny and we're planning to have a go saturday arvo.

As I am completely new to this scene, is there anyone who could give us a push in the right direction? Ideally we will need to combine fly and spinfishing into a trip with reasonable chance of succes for both. Not too fussy about species, just after some fun.

Any hints will be more than welcome..

Thanks!

who is planning camping and fishing during the summer school holidays

i have just bought a rooftop tent to keep the missus comfy and to get her out camping with me and the boys more often

where are you planning to go

im probably gonna do the blow holes and lucky bay then i have my trip to steep  point booked for march

Heading down to Bremer bay on the weekend, we caught a couple of bonito last year but threw them back as i was told not the best eating.

Is there a way to cook them or should i just chuck them back again.   Cheers Rusty

Hi all, look at this link, this is not fishing, this is just sick and culling.

Just wondering if its worth creating a sticky on "using the search function". I know i've been guilty of it, posting about topics that have been covered a fair bit (exmouth, etc).

Maybe there should be a search option up the top (next to links, shop etc), it is kinda inconspicuous.

Hey lads, I'm looking to get a new rod and reel combo for the boat something thats gonna be able to handlle BIG fish (hopefully) in broome going mad trying to decide there's so many options what would any1 recommend my budget is around 400-500 preferably shimano . Cheers

Hey guys, first post on here, see how we go. So im thinking soon of going for a mulloway in the swan. any tips for catching them rig wise, bait wise and/or spot wise?

Hey all, i will be in exmouth from the 13th to the 18th november and kalbarri 19th to the 21st for some land based fishing. Anyone at either on these dates welcome to join me for some fishing. p/m me for mobile.

Looking at getting some braid for ma Abu Cardinal. Looking at about 30LB.

what brand of braid do people recommend??

Does anyone know a shop or distributor that sells rod spares? quiver tips, new eyes etc? got an old set up I wanna hook up for some light summer action without the balls on of having to buy a whole new rod, got a little 2-4 (Top two eyes got snapped) that will be ace for breaming etc and easy enough for my mrs to cast should she choose to come.

Cheers boys

Anyone have a copy or know where to get one of these? From all reports its pretty good...

would be happy to pay postage/ cost of DVD and a 6 pack for your trouble...!

Cheerrs

If anyone does this, what placcies work good? Was thinkin of another option for casting at tuna schools etc, suppose a wriggler for example might work

i have a few good filletting knives and just wanted to know where can i get a knife holder made of canvas to hold my knives?

Hey guys been reading up on fishing rising or falling barometric pressure,seems to be a lot of differing opinions ??. I think this has been discussed on here before ? but what do we think rising or falling is better for fishing ??

 Hi Tackle Experts (Hlokk, Till & others)

Is this an actual Stella?  I.e. just as good as any Stella you might buy here?  Looks a bit different.  Anyone able to help me out here?

Cam

 I was trawling the forum last night and read about a guy on here whose Azusa reel seat came loose.

I bought one from blue water Scarborough before a trip to shark bay in May and when I put the Stella on it, my reel seat came loose too.

Anyone else had this issue with Azusas?

Cam

pretty crazy stuff

 shimano tld needs a service. Any idea where to take it and what it would cost? North of river if possible.

Well, the wife is in hospital with a new baby (yes it is mine) the little girl is in bed, I have two videos and am thinking of tying PR Knots to Yozuri Pink Fluorocarbon on my Stella 8000 and two certates (4000 and 3500).

Do these cast OK or am I going to have to cut them out and tie something more pedestrian when I want to send a metal out?

Hi Gents

I will be picking up a Slatiga 4000 and was wondering what rods the punters are using? I will be running PE3 on it and plan to fish plastics and Jigs.

No budget really but dont want to go too stupid... maybe the SG62S or the 60S anyway let me know what other brands are good at the moment.

PS I got a Catalina Nabura 67s in the new model and its awesome- run the Branzino on it when I get back to Aus.

hi all,

tried attaching a picture into another similar thread but couldn't get it to stick.

looking for any comments on the boat below that I have a contract coming for tomorrow - checking it out in Qld in two weeks.

Anyone had any experience, good or bad with Sterncraft boats?

Made in Tasmania so I would think that they would/ should be built to last??

cheers

Brett

I'm going to get a couple of pots for the cray season as there is still a few sharks about and I'm not too keen to dive just yet.. What is the difference between plastic, pine, jarrah and kane? I was told once by someone that the plastic work better on the whites and the wooden better later on with the reds.... is that true or BS?

I had some jarrah pro pots with steel bases and they were too big and heavy, the rusty steel made a rite mess of my boat- I didn't catch a thing in them and I got sick of them so in my temper I pulled off a few slatts and the rope and made a mini artificial reef out of them...

What would be a good cray pot to buy that I could have at 10m or out deep in 30-40m and still be able to handle on my own, preferably without the steel base so as not to ruin the floor of my boat again??

Does anybody know what this reel casts like on a surf rod ?

Hi guys, We are just starting out and wondering where some of the better land based fishing spots are only a couple hrs from perth, north or south. Looking so we can head out for a Fri and Sat night with some good fishing. Looking forward to your responses.
