Ocean alive with raging Tuna schools

 Went out yesterday and encountered massive schools of Tuna busting up Baitschools every where north of Mindarie!

This went on all day, from morning till we came back @ 4.30pm!

Awsome to be amongst this!


Pilchard teaser head? Thing is amazing!

 I've been trying to troll Pilchards for ages and I believe I have finally knocked it out of the park this time. This bait head I've been working on doesn't roll the bait, it SWIMS it. Unbelievable. Trolled a 10 inch Pilchard over 5 mph on video. Posted on You Tube, search - GuideProInc to watch. I call it "Jughead". I've made 3 sizes, sm, med & lg. Have a peek at the vids. You won't belive these things. Critiques and comments welcome.

Seasport Charters

Hi all

With all the positive talk on this site about Whitey from Seasport Charters I have convinced my wife to buy me a birthday present of two spots on the boat. Is there certain times of the year that I should be aiming to do the charter (eg before mid April etc). I have limited experience at boat fishing so any decent size fish, fishing any style will be a bonus.

 

Thanks in advance for the advice.


whitehills fishing report?

hey thinking of heading to whitehills this week. anything been biting as of late?

No Gamex 2012 for Team Swede this year. Who else cant make it?

Hey guys,

Thought I would have a sly winge!

Unfortunatley i wont be making it to Gamex 2012.

Work is flat out for me as we are very busy in the North West, and one fellow team mate who lives in Exmouth has to work Gamex as its his first year working at Bluewater Tackle in Exmouth during Gamex time so he draws the short straw, and the other team mate is tied up with work down in Esperance with the fisheries department. It appears that 2012 I will be sidelined and hopefully reading some top posts on the forums.

Work has to come first sometimes! I will definitly be amongst it in 2013!

Hope all the rest of you boys & girls that are heading up have a blast!

 

Thought it would be good time to ask who else cant make it and the reasons behind it?

Going out with Shikari Charters with some mates. Hopefully it will be awesome unlike my 1st trip out. 

Anyone been out with them before?

Would be keen on purchasing one about that size.

Saltist Lever Drag LD35

Hey guys

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Saltist Lever Drag reels and in particular the LD35. They have a carbon fibre drag so wouldnt need a carbontex upgrade (I dont think).

I used to have a Saltist 40 (star drag) and that nice and sturdy and had a good drag. Used to run 65lb braid and worked very nicely. Would the new LD35 be up to the same sort of use or is that pushing the specs a bit much?

Cheers

Brad

Sharks but no tailor!

Went fishing last night (11/3) and was hoping to hook up some nice size Tailor, instead i just kept hauling in Sharks and Ray! Not complaining because all in all it was a real great active night of fishing, but wheres all the Tailor atm? I was fishing off the end of the rocks Ocean reef boat ramp.  For the main part i was just baitcasting with mullies, then changed tact and went off the bottom.

 

Has everyone else noticed the amount of sharks been pulled in? And wheres all the Tailor? :)


Everyone chasin a Mulla down eshed lol!!!

Had to get a shot of this hahaha So many people fish saturday arvo!!!!

Pinjarra move

G'day lads, new to the forum, been viewin ya posts for a while now, about to make the move from the pilbara to pinjarra, keen to fish the Murray river and the mandurah estuaries, just wondering if it's worth the trouble and if there's any tips or advice you blokes can give.

Cheers


Your thoughts on splitting a fishing trip cost

Planning a trip to Exmouth with 5 blokes taking two boats. One of my buddies is taking his boat and is asking the crew to split the cost to have trailer wheel bearings replaced, motor serviced and the cost of any mechanic recommended fixes. I have done numerous trips North in the past and always happy to pay my share, however this is the first time the question of boat maintenance has come up.

 

If I was taking my boat then I would not be expecting the crew to pay for my boat maintenance as I feel that this is an expense associated with owning a boat and not a fishing trip related expense. I do not mind paying my share to get the wheel bearings done because I feel this is a necessary fishing trip associated cost.

 

Next thing the guys that is using his car to tow the boat will be asking us to pay to have his car fixed.

 

Your thoughts.
