 Hey guys im fishing friday night with a mate in freshwater bay, not sure what the target is yet, is there anything around at all?

Cheers, Nick

Anyone see on the news the ghost net they found off Broome, which just happened to entangle 15,000 kg of marine life.. not goood. :(

Thinking of a week in Walpole after New Year.  I understand there are two caravan parks, Rest Point and Coalmine Beach?  Which is best for a powered site and access to fishing areas by boat?  Anything special to fish for at that time of the year?  I have read some books and mags, KGW, skippy, herring, bream, flathead inside?  Outside?  Will there be any tuna about at that time of the year for trolling or should I think about bottom bouncing or jigging?  What is the wind and the river mouth like during January?

 Hi guys,

im really into fishing and want to have more fun on a boat

Not a good sign for our river systems these guys getting in. Could be some interesting fishing though. Would be good to catch a "wild" golden and silver perch in WA.

Wow! This Snapper school is huge filmed in Whyalla SA

 By no means am i new to fishing but definatly new to this site and alot of the lingo going around, so im keen to learn a few new things.  Was wondering if u can shed some light on a few things.

1. My rod has a line class of 5-10kg?  Does this mean dont go under and dont go over?

2. Demersal?  type of fish i figured

3. Demersal Jigging?  Never heard of it lol

4.  Are u allowed to use a Throw net in perth?

5. Can u cast lures of a Beach rod or is it best just to use a smaller rod?

Thanks to anyone and all that can answer me.  Knowing me i will have plenty of questions About other stuff at a later date

 Anyone seen or used chirp sounder on a new garmin unit?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has fished the islands in the gulf heading up soon thinking about heading ova weather permitting of course.

Hi Guys, I have recently ordered a new Stradic 8000FJ as im sick of using my overhead combo.

I need to match up a rod to this new reel so your help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Dont want to pay more then say $250-300.

I will be using it for a variety of fishing from trolling, bottom bashing etc.

Thanks in advance

whos got one? and what are you mostly using it for?

 Recently moved to kalgoorlie for work and thinking of heading down to esperance for a weekend fishing. Just looking for some general advice as I've never fished there before both land based and boat have a 5 metre cono so anything within reasonable distances.

Thanks 

 Anyone been fishing up Moore river lately? Any luck up that way? Thinking of heading up there this weekend.

Since moving to Carnarvon six months ago I've been spinning up at Quobba quite a bit in an attempt to land a trophy fish of the rocks.

No trouble getting hook ups, landing a whole fish is a different story tho.....

Tuna, mackies and a monster queeny have been shreded by the taxmen, last saturday it was this Bludger Trevs turn.

Low tide combined with almost no swell and I couldn,t lift the trev to the safety of the lower ledge, went 500mm from nose to the

inside of the bite mark. Would have been well over a meter before the shark.

I'll try again next week.

 as itsays. need a new rod butt

the place i used to go to closed so im outta ideas

thanks

 Hi all,

Recently got myself a Holden Colorado and I'm looking for a place to go for a fish/4wd north of Perth.

I have little to no 4wding experience, so I'm limited on where I can go.

Not really bothered how good the fishing is, just looking for a place to get both done at the same time.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Regards James 

Hi guys,

Has anyone seen any whales out local/rotto way this lately?? how far out??

thinking of taking the wife out to show her and her friends.

Cheers

 Has anyone else noticed the Berkley Elevator Jig Head 7/0 hooks sold separately have the eyelet the wrong way around?  Are you meant to rig them with the hook coming out the side of the plastic rather than the top?

I have been looking for a nice jigging combo and the Saltiga s extremes caught my attention. However, after a fellow fw member revealed that they were out of production, I'm hesitant. On top of that, a guy I know quite well who is in the tackle industry told me to stay away from them because daiwa has been known to randomly "replace for free" the whole drivetrain upon it's first service. This really rang the alarm bells, as a reel with the price tag they carry shouldn't need anything "replaced for free" , especially after only 12 months..
Does anyone have any further knowledge of this or even any experience with these reels, good or bad?

Hi, I'm heading up to Karratha for work 4-6 July so thought might be great to delay return and get out for fish whilst up there. Never fished up that way, if anyone is heading out would really appreciate, a spot. Split bait, fuel etc and have own boat so know the drill. Once confirmed I will have to sort accommodation, work won't cover extra days, so any ideas on cheap options would be great. Cheers, Karl

Hi all,

I have slowly been getting into the jigging game for demersals using my botttom bashing gear. with a little success of a couple of small dhueys on the last couple of outtings, Im looking at getting a set up just for jigging. Dont want to go too over board just yet as Im still a beginner in this game but want to spend around the $350 - 400(thanks to Birthday Vouchers). with that I would like to get rod, reel and braid if possible. Can you jigging pro's please give me some advice on what to buy, including braid strength and brand.

All advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 Deckie wanted, send us a PM if interested .....Cheers

enjoy

http://youtu.be/k1IbhtT81x8

fish was weighed at 16kg and 98cm

hi guys

i am in the need to borrow or hire a metal detector from this thursday till next monday/tues.

can anyone help or know where to hire one.

shoot us a pm.

thanks in advance

few more tailor from the last 2 days and the gear ive used, used the heavier 20lb outfit the last 2 days to great sucess, last night was there for 17 minutes and bagged out in about 20 casts with fish from 35-55cm.

got 2 tonight was only there for a short while and just got some for dinner, bigger one wa about 50-55cm.

These are all my fav lures for the mighty TAILOR & also SALMON, manly Stickbaits, but also a some Poppers, Plugs and Metals do the trick.

1 - Kingfisher 'Fat Rs' (Great for casting long distance)

2 - Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (Floating)

3 - Duel Adagio105 (Heavy Sinking), great for casting long distance

4 - Duel AileMagnet Neo DB (floating)

5 - Duel Hardcore Lipless Minnow (Floating)

6 - Tango Dancer by Owner

7 - Ocean Potion Stickbaits (Work great for Salmon)

8 - Maria Blues Code (One of my favs), also work great for Salmon

9 - Maria Bull Chop (Sinking)

10 - Rapala X-Rap Extreme Action Slashbait (Works great in the river for choppers)

11- Rapala x-Rap Extreme Action Popper

12 - Richter Plugs

13 - Spanyid Metals (My fav, The Spanyid Sniper 50) caught big greenbacks on it
