I had rigged a couple of single hook assists for my 500 gram jigs

after bringing it back up , i found the hook wrapped up around the swivel, so quickly stuck on a ready made one off a cheap sambo jig with the shrink.

When making them up,do you generally always heat shrink the longer assists to stiffen ??

one catch that thing on 7 about the new weapon they have on tagging great whites. missed it and wondering wat it was

 Went fishing off Mandurah Saturday and drifted around all morning for nothing. Not even the wrasse were biting. Wind was gentle from the south east. Everything was beautiful, except no fish. So I went closer inshore for a while to my K.G spot but nothing there either. The wind changed to westerly so I thought about heading back out 7 Km or so thinking maybe the wind change would turn a trick. Mulled it over for a while, then decided to do it. Back to the same place I had been all morning and the fish were biting on the first drop, Within 10 minutes I had a nice Dhu on board and headed home. Now obviously I knew that the wind change might be significant but I am still amazed at the contrast. Those fish must have been there all along. It was as though the god of fishes had suddenly rung the dinner bell. So I'm wondering about other fisho's exprerience with this. Is a westerly wind best?      

Hey Guys

Awaiting the delivery of my new tub. Will be here next weekend.  Been a few months since i have been out wide. Hopefully i will have many years of good luck and big fish on this beast.

Anyone got recommendations on a good gaff?

I must be too vigorous with my grey coat landing (relax - only for ones getting eaten) because I seem to keep bending the handles on the ally ones and concerned about the wood ones snapping.

 Does anyone know any thing about mulloway any where in mandurah. Willing to try any style of fishing but where are they???

Got the boat booked for 4/5/2012 but need up to 6 more people. I can fit 2 more in my car I can pick you up. We will be leaving rockingham at 2am to be there by 5am. Drive home that arvo.

250 for charter + 20 bux fuel money if you come with me other wise you gota get there yourself.

Hi Guys,

Anyone ever caught anything at Golden ponds?

I took the wife and young fella there yesterday arvo, spent $10 each for a fishing fee for a couple of hours, was directed to the "Barra pond" behind the shop and arrived at a 25m x 8m mudpond and tossed some lures in for the arvo - no movement, no bites, no nothing - tried bait pellets too, but absolutley nothing, so ended up taking a dissapointed guy home...?

Asked a few other guys around there and they got nothing either?

Cheap beer and lunch though... $75 for 3 of us for a retaurant meal and 3 drinks each...

Hi guys,

I am heading up to Exmouth for the first time fishing trip with one day booked out with Eddy on Peak Sportfishing to chase the GT's and plan on hiring a boat for a couple of other days.

I really only wanted to book a 4.2m woodduck runabout for 2 days but can only get it for one, the lady I spoke to from Exmouth Boat Hire said the 5.5m boat is available for the other day.

Is there any other good boat hires out there? or should I just stick with the two boats?

Also would like some advice on the best places to launch and fish or any other useful tips whether boating or land based.

I have 5 nights up there so I will be fishing ma a$$ off.

 heres a pic of a long tom we caught tonight at kwinana beach while lure fishing for tailor.

litttle bugger must be on school holidays from his nice warm home so we let him go to enjoy his holiday.

 On other squiding adventures as like the one today an escapee squid warned all its friends? 

While drifting on a tinny today we where getting decent squid every third cast at least! Then the unthinkable happend and one sliped off the barbs and through my mates grasping hands. It hit the water and wasn't seen again. After that we had no more hits even though we put another couple of hours in.
Do you guys think an a squid can/does warn other squids?

We are heading up to jurien in 4 weeks , and never having fished there , I've been doing a bit of searching and chart checking

Am I right in thinking that the first bank is the drop off at 5.5 NM out from the harbour , down to 30 meters ,  and the second bank rises out of the 50's into the

40's at 18 NM before dropping off deep??

Providing the wind is good , the 2nd bank'll  be the go eh??   I've beeen told the 50's are a bit desolate.  

also , what is the wreck just off the leads to J bay?? 

cheers

FWA Extreme Jigs.

Ryan fished Tworocks early this week and did well on dhufish/breaksea/skippy/snapper/red snapper etc on the new jigs.

The flutter action in these jigs are awesome and the prism flash also good. The jigs flutter and hang in the strike zone meant most all fish hit the jig on the flutter down. Assorted colours and they come pre rigged with a strong assist.




Very well priced in the market place.

i am having a discussion/argument with my mate stuart about fisheries boarding your boat at sea.
i think they are allowed to board anyones boat at any time because they are the "police of the sea"

he reckons they cant board your boat, thats why they ask you before they board and if you dont want them to come on you can tell them that you dont want them to board you....

can someone please clarify this for me becuase i would love to prove him wrong.

thanks

Jess
