Im heading down to albany to see my good old bum buddy:) i am hoping to fish with him and have a good time at night ;) if you know what i mean. ive never fished there before and want to know the best places to slay anything. im really chasing salmon and more salmon.
does anyone have and spots they could give me. My friend Shizz and his boyfriend had a teriffic time last time exploring the scenery, taking various photos of wildlife and tasting jam. They had matching scarfs, it was so cute!
Also i am dont know what gear to take with me i have 2 Jarvis Walker Devil combos one is a boat and the other a 7ft general purpose. are these suitable for that style of fishing? Please help or do i need to buy something else only want to spend $50 max.
Edit* I will leave this here. But know I will stab you in the throat.

Sandy Cape camping - full
Submitted by Spicey on Thu, 2012-04-05 13:41I noticed a few hopeful punters mentioning that they were heading to Sandy Cape this weekend.
I have jut spoken to a mate who got in there yesterday before lunch and snagged the last spot. You may want to have a back up plan . They offer overflow camping to the Jurien caravan park on the oval in town but not quite the same as camping at the cape.

Feeding Great Whites
Submitted by spook on Thu, 2012-04-05 07:40I was just watching news about the Great White off Kalbarri, the shark came up and ate a huge piece of bait in the water obviously put there to get the shot. My opinion is if you dont feed it next to the boat they wont recognise a boat as a feeding opportunity. I could be wrong although it is something to think about after the bloke that got taken in busselton on his anchor rope. I think most people are smarter than that though

Gear for medium to large species
Submitted by Averageguy on Thu, 2012-04-05 02:11Hi guys, back again with another beginner question..
I have been wanting to go fishing for bigger species (tailor, mulloway, stingrays even, or anything else), my plan is to grab some baitfish and just chuck it live/frozen, but problem being my rod is only a 3-5kg rod, with the reel spooled with 10lb nanofil. Im not yet going for the giants, but if i can kill two birds with 1 stone by buying new gear well why not. I would only be land based so going to places such as north/south moles, eshed, well thats pretty much all i know so far anyway. So question is, what size rod and reel should i really get along with what size line ? some brands or even models would be awesome, but just general info would be great for me so i can know where to start.
I tried searching through the forum by the way, but just keeps on coming up with mulloway catches

Fishing Reel Cleaning & Maintenance (PLEASE HELP)
Submitted by thebrett on Wed, 2012-04-04 22:37Hi Guys just wondering if anyone could help me out, I recently lent my reel to a mate and it came back full of sand and just not in good working condition anymore, I first rinsed it in warm water and dried, then took the reel apart and it was full of sand, I cleaned all the sand of it, re greased the internal parts, oiled the bearings, and then sprayed with pertek reel deal, but it still seems to not be spinning that smooth anymore and its making a noise when spinning when it never used to,
If anyone could help me out or give me any tips that would be great
(This is a pic of the reel)

Which braid
Submitted by Jutty on Wed, 2012-04-04 17:08Hi guys and girls
After a bit of advice after the best braid I can get my hands on in the 15-20lb range for my heartland 3000. It is paired to a blade n tails in heavy for the boat and a seajigger 315 for land based.
Have tried and liked td sensor, sensor surf, hyper tournament, tuf line and Veros on other combos and all have pros and cons would love to get some opinions or am I better with the devil I know rather than the devil I don't?
Cheers
