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

 Thinking of possibly taking the kids to Penguin Island this weekend.

Do you know if you are allowed to land boats on the island, or is it purely walk the bar or ferry?

Wouldnt mind taking the boat so I can get a fish in too.

Dave

Well been back from Exy for a few days now and thought I would throw up a few pics of our trip. Some have already been individually posted but I thought I put them all together in one post.

The crew consisted of Liam (Lamby or as we like to call him kitten arms), Clint (Feral), Tim (Timmbo) and myself.

Managed to score some great weather and had a ball on and off the water.

Cheers to Adam for arranging the comp. Just one more mate :)  Also thanks to Tim for showing us around.

Got to love Exmouth it has such a great variety of fish.

Liam's Goldband. These guys put up a great fight for their size.

Tim's Dolly caught trolling.

Tim's FW comp winning Tuna.

Another Longtail for Liam on the light gear.

Liam's Sailfish that gave him the name "kitten arms". Bet you wished you kept your mouth shut Liam.

Clint with a double header of Ranking

Goldband and Reds

My trout caught in the gulf.

Clint's Saddletail.

The boys with a couple of nice Rankings

Tim's Red.

After Liam's Sail he got subbed out. But sure enough when put back on he caught his second billie for the trip a nice little black.

These guys were everywhere and great fun on the light gear.

Clint's first billfish.

Last day bag out.

Can't wait to do it again.

Cheers

 Anyone going in the pirtek fishing comp this sunday?

Karratha Back Beach

Anybody been to Bali and did some land based fishing?

I'm flying in 2 weeks to Bali and ofcourse I take my spinrod and overheadrod with me!
I was thinking about hiring kayaks and go for a peddle with my spin rod and trow some poppers, do some jigging, lure fishing and maybe some live baiting.

I also take my game rod with me to do some shark fishing off the beach.

I was thinking to go to the Gili Islands and Lombok. Any other place where I should go?

Who's been fishing before in Bali and can tell me something about your fishing? Where you been and what tackle you used and ofcourse what did you catch!? any stories and tips are welcome!

cheers!

what is the shallowest depth for greyband and ruby snapper off mandurah? are there many around in 125m?

cheers,

Hi all

Just came back from Kalbarri for the easter fairly quiet from the beaches only picked up a few chopper tailor, i have a 12ft Snyder glass i bought probably 8 or 9 years ago and has served me well however when i was fishing at Wittecarra there were a couple of guys certainly getting alot more distance than me and on roughly the same gear.

Can anyone offer some advice on 12 - 13ft surf rods  i've heard Ozflez are pretty handy??

Cheers

Mick

 going to the busso jetty next week haven't fished there before so could anyone suggest rigs,bait,lures and rods for and also what times of the day would be best for catching anything

cheers guys

Just for interest wanted to ask this questions?

Went out last saturday from Dampier and despite the forecast was rather blowy, so couldnt head out wide. Started with a lazy lazy time with the afternoon wind predicted (wrong) to calm down heaps, so we intended to fish into the night starting at 2pm.

Went to a regular snapper spot that always has the goods on these fish and the odd CTrout etc. Was delighted to bring a good Bluebone in, but was very surprised with the next drop.

At first with the hit and fight I called it for a bloody Dusky Morwong (which often turn up here), but soon the colour red appeared, and onboard came a very nice 8kg Red Emporor. I was very stocked at the unusual catch for this spot.

I didnt look at the screen on the sounder (I was still getting over it) but the Mrs the good deckie she is checked the screen and the depth was 8.6m.

I was surprised at the red, but more so with that depth.

Question then: How shallow has anyone caught a red in? I believe it was a huge fluke.

G'day guys,
After abit of info about whiting, what would be the best rig to use to catch them from the beach, do I use bait ( what bait), bait chasers, lumo tubes( colours), size hooks, do i use a sinker, and how far out do I cast,
Cheers rails

hi guys , i am heading down to dunsborough tonight for a couple of days (my 2 boys have been there for a week with my parents) and am wondering where is the closest place to find some salmon?? or are there some in Dunsborough this year?? any help would be appreciated.   cheers

Hi, Does anyone know where to get something similar to the below in australia, preferably perth??

Thanks!

 Hey fellas,

Chasing some advice for connecting my 60lb braid leader to 120lb fluorocarbon leader. Gonna be tossing 200mm down to 140mm poppers and stickbaits. Was thinking about a PR knot to heavy swivel and split ring so I can change lures easy. Was watching nomad videos and they use twisted leaders, is this overkill for exmouth or a plausible option? Thinking il stick to solid connection with PR knot.

Any guys who have done some popping up north please enlighten me!

Cheers

Chris

Just a quick report on the week I recently spent with the family down in Albany and Peaceful Bay.

Arrived in Peaceful Bay to find it not so peaceful with a 5m+ swell and 20-30 knot winds for most of our 3 night stay. Pretty much all the beaches in the area were totally washed out from the swell altho we did managed to get around the main bay after the swell had eased on the last day to have a look around the inlet mouth, which is currently open. The only beach that was fishable was the back beach behind the small peaceful bay (I forget the name of it?) and we did find some massive herring and a couple good KG's one afternoon. The salmon seemed to be eluding us until I had a funny hook up on my small squid baited hook meant for a KG. This fish ran straight along the beach before making it self known in true salmon fashion with a big headshaking jump. After a short fight I landed my first salmon of the year, once again on a random small hook!

That was the only one landed or seen while we were at Peaceful Bay so I felt lucky to be the one that scored!

A few days later I caught up with Chrisp for a salmon hunt down in Albany. After convincing him of an early sunrise start we hit up Nanarup beach with high hopes. The beach had plenty of reallly good looking channels and gutters that we threw stickbaits into as we made our way along. The herring were plentiful and a good size but the salmon didn't show. Chris did land a solid skippy on the stickbait though which had him guessing for a second.

We ended up driving over to Two Peoples bay for a look and armed with a rod each and a few stickbaits we hit the rocks. After chatting to a young bloke who had been casting lures for a few hours for nothing I made the comment "Don't worry, a school of salmon could come along at any moment"... a couple casts later and we both hooked up bigtime. Reels where screaming and the hoots and hollars were loud! Unfortunately we both got smoked and busted off on the rugged rocks submerged right infront of our chosen fishing platform. A quick tie of new leaders and stickbaits I was straight back on. This time I kept my rod high and somehow avoided the rocks and after many big jumps and screaming runs I landed the first salmon of the day.

This fish absolutaly destroyed the trebels on Chris's stickbait that I borrowed too.

After taking forever with his bobbin leader knot (were you tying a PR?) he also was back into them.

A bit of tricky rock hoping was needed to get these fish landed on the rocks too.

Chris finally landed one!

The salmon were going absoluately mental, leaping from the water on the strikes only meters infront of us. We lost probably 15+ fish with 5 lures in total going with them. Over the 2 hours or so we landed 5, with the only option of getting them in to lock the drag up and go hard! At one point I felt like I was on an old tuna boat doing some poling as I literally had 2m of line from the tip of my rod and I just dropped it in the water as the school of salmon swam by right infront of me and instantly hooked up... although I tried to heave it straight over my head, I failed. haha..

The winning lure for the day was the old Waxwing!

The fish eventually moved on and we called it a day... the images of salmon smashing our lures right infront of us stayed in the front of our minds for days! Chris the lucky bastard is still down there and has had some more action since!

Certainly a session to remember that one...

Another great trip down South with the family and a few sneaky fishing trips in there too.

My new pup Sasha claims a salmon head.
