Hi,

I am after some info on the Western Rock Blackfish. In the Australian Fish Guide, by Frank Prokop, there are 2 Drummer listed, a black and siver . I already know that the Silver Drummer (Kyphosus Sydneyanus) also known as Buffalo Bream, is found in WA. But I am interested in the Black Drummer, also known as Rock Blackfish . In the fish guide there are a Eastern (Girella elevata) and Western variety (Girella tephraeops) . I was hoping for someone to confirm the existence of the Western variety, I enquired at the local tackle shop and they said that there was no such thing.  Over east they have quite a cult following yet over in WA noone seems to target them. If anyone has any info I would be keen to find out.

Cheers

hey all

i found a really good spot for yellow eye mullet, they are pretty big aswell, just wondering if they would be any good for live baiting for like anything that lives inside a harbour...

like balooning or just letting it free swim? thats if the weather conditions are desireable...

cheers!

Hey guys thinking of buying diawa cross fire or sweepfire in 1500 size for a cheap bream reel. Any-one had any experience with either of theses models ? cheers for any feedback

Hi all,

A few friends and I with our Partners, are thinking of heading down a few hours south of Perth (between Manduarh and bunbury) in a couple of weeks.

I am just wanting your educated information relating to the areas down south that has a number of things such as the list below:

Can you please fill me in on: 

(1)Location to go (rivers/dams/streams) for redfin or trout

(2)Camping (near by)

(3)Fishing either rivers or dams

(4)Best type of bait or lure/rig that you would suggest trying.

(5)Speicies of fish that are on the hunt this time of year

Any info or advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks all. Look forward to hearing from you.

PM's also accepted if you dont want to disclose any details to the wide public. I will respect your infomtion.

For while i have been making my own lures, first just jigheads then poppers and stick baits

I ve had some real good succes ( but any lure could have worked- possibly)

i ve been looking at making plastictails for big jigheads and even plastics  for  awhile but there was no one selling plastisol in small amounts - and 2oo l was the smallest batch anyone would make in  OZ-

well well

u can melt down stuffed ones and recast

Just want to put a big thankyou to Paul G and Jesse for time and effort they put in for the sale of "relisa". Nothing seemed to be to much trouble and it was greatly appreciated, I couldnt be more happier with my purchase and am looking forward to some good times with the new tub,  just hope it catches half the fish it did for Paul.

Regards Jay

Hi All ...

Just got my new toy, the new GoPro Hero2, the "outdoor" package, c/w the 32GB card. I'll mainly use it for Fish photos (on the boat), and possibly some boat side shoots underwater (if I sort out a mono pod for it).

Any tips on configuration, quality improvement ... etc?

Cheers

Hesh

Hey guys Im new to squiding and was hoping to get down to hillaries tonight for a bit of a bash

any suggestions on where to hang off the rocks land based?

Ross Lyon says it may take freo a while to learn his new game plan,i think he may be right its taken 15 years and they still haven't learnt how to play AFL football.......LOL

 Off to Coral bay in 10Hrs time :) Will keep you all posted with pics!

 anyone have any experience with these rods??

looks like the goods, but just want some feedback before i buy :)

cheers

Hi all.

I've been reading all about people landing heaps of squid in the sound, this weekend hopefully it's my turn. I have a couple of "middle of the range" jigs (not the pack of 20 for $3.99, but not the $24.99 each variety either)

Will these do the job, or do I really need to invest in Yo-Zuri or similar? Will be launching from Point Peron or Palm Beach and plan to just drift over some shallow weed beds in mangles bay or on the flats in front of Garden Island, unless anybody has some better suggestions?

Next question, do people have better success "working" a jig by twitching etc on a retrieve, or just floating it out the back? I'm leaning towards floating as this will allow me to try my luck casting into sand patches for some whiting or even KG's at the same time.

As always, your thoughts and advice are appreciated.

Cheers,

BD.

Hi all

Have not posted for awhile but have just returned from 10 days at Dundee Beach in  NT.

The 32 degree days were magnificent and never got out of shorts and T shirts for the whole time.

My host Greg and another 6 mates spent a very enjoyable week fishing out of his 8 mtr Ally spinning yarns and laughing.

The winds were a little unkind (and unusually strong) for the last 4 days but earlier in the week we managed the 70k trip down to North Perron Island

where we fished the huge depths of between 12 and 25 FEET to catch all sorts.

The Perrons are renowed for the Golden Snapper ( or gold spot ) and did not let us down.

Must have tried 15 different spots before we found a school or two. Also caught many varied species of snapper, the Darwinites just call them Trickies as there are too many species to name. Also caught cod, Coral Trout, small Red Emporer ( all released ) a medium size Black Jewfish and of course the obligatory sharks.

This year the water was unusually cool and did not see heaps of Mackie and Tuna schools but there were some around. Our skipper is not a lover of trolling so none were hooked.

The professional charter operators out of Dundee to the Finnis River were coming back with meager Barra catches so we decided to save fuel and not spend a day trolling in Crocodile Country. I am not a lover of the flavour of river caught Barra so did not bother me.

Put crab pots in twice for 9 and 12 HUGE muddies so some great feasts were had around the verandah table 100mts from the ocean overlooking some of the best sunsets you will ever see.

The only downside was the bloody mozzies who in fact actually like piss off spray and made life almost unbearable.

Of course with the ambient tempratures many a coldy was consumed and I will now spend a couple of weeks drying out.

If any of you get the chance do yourselves a favour and jump on the plane ($550 return), organise a trip to Dundee, there are plenty of charter boats down that way and accomodation at the lodge caravan park is basic but good enough and the tavern is a must. The world is so different up there and I must say I love it.

Have some photos on my phone and when I work out how to download them and post them will put some up.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you all know that we now have back in stock our 3 metre 2pce Prawn Dab Nets, We had a huge run on them and we are constantly being contacted as to whether we have them instock. So just giving you the heads up we have them instore.

Cheers from the Oceanside Team

hi guys, i am getting more and more into demersal jigging (as are many others!!) and i wanted to get some opinion from the more experienced jiggers out there , i  am currently re rigging all of my demersal jigs with new assists and various octopus skirts over the assists and my question is whether to use 1 assist hook or 2 on each jig, what do you think (all of the jigs are between 70 and 150 grams )   cheers

Hi guys,

heading to exy friday night for the first time, with a boat.

Winds look shitty atm was wondering if you can

a) get a 5.5m ali inside the reef off westside?

b) what could i expect to catch?

Cheers.

Hi all,

Just wondering if it would be doable (safe) to travel from Denham to Useless Loop to fish, with a 4.5 CC polycraft and 60hp 4stroke 70ltr tank + 20ltr jerry. Looking like some good weather coming up with low swell, lightish winds (max 10-12kts) dropping off in the arvo for the trip back.

Would like peoples thoughts on this as I haven't been boating in this region before.  approx 50 nMile round trip I'd expect.

Ken

 I caught a small 1 metre shark at the weekend, but realized I didn't know much about identification, eating quality, how to bleed it properly, or how to prevent the taste of ammonia in the flesh - so I returned it to the water. Could anyone give me some pointers for next time ? Thanks, Dan

 hey everyone ive had my overhead for a few months now. my reel is levelwind witch i dont really like so i have a theroy that if i take out the 2 bars and the bit where the line goes through it might cast abit better has anyone done this or is it just a waste of time?

Hey guys,just been check tides on willy weather. Thursday has 2 low and 2 high tide time listed but all other days have only 1 high and low tide listed. This is not the first time or site i have seen this on. Any explinations ??

Crasny1, this is where the little fish are, seems they are all I ever catch!

I cant remember when last I saw a picture of a herring, whiting or other bread and butter fish on here.

I am sure some see it as a "brag board" but I personally like fishing for all fish, and not just big ones.

Be nice to see some shots of whiting etc again.

Hey guys,

have been fishing up here in Hedland for the last 5 months or so (not just fishing, working as well :)) and it's been great. Yesterday arvo I was the only one at the boat ramp and didn't see any other boats out either. Was a bad sign already! Spent about 4hours copping waves trying to get onto some fish but only managed a mini shark. Hope this is not how all winter is gonna be like!

I'm going on a 5 week break back to Belgium and will be back in Port from July until November. What sort of fish can I expect those months? Are the spaniards and tuna around that time of year? Big fan of pelagics and not really a bottom bouncer..

Cheers,

Jelle
