I'm heading out on Sunday chasing Marlin, Yellowfin and Wahoo. Planning to stop in a special spot to jig for dogtooth and huge coral trout as well. Might even spend half an hour casting for big GTs if the wind is right. Spots open for three people. I'm supplying all the gear (jigs, lures, lunch, fuel, etc). All you have to do is meet me at the boat at 0600. The first three people to get in touch are in. Let me know if you're keen.

it was only a season or 2 ago that they never left metro water's for the whole year ,  now,  I haven't heard of a catch yet , let alone the numbers that were here.

have I missed all the reports or what??

Jigged Dhu from Saturday.

Perfect size for whole baked in the oven, fed 7, as good as seafood gets.

Any of you exmouth locals able to let me know what the current fuel prices are like in Exmouth?

Just doing a budget for the upcomming trip but struggling to find what the current prices are like??

Diesel and unleaded.

Thanks

Ocean Reef Marina nearer to reality

Hi all, this is my first post. I'm looking for yellowfin whiting, flathead and bream in the river. I'm a bit of a river novice but have caught (in the past) some good fish of all of these species down Pt Walter way. I'm not having any luck at all though. Can someone please help with where I should be trying for these fish? Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks for reading, David.

Where abouts are the 4 mile and 8 mile reefs in Geographe Bay measured from.  Been looking on navionics and any general area that I find that looks like the 4 and 8 mile reefs are more like 5 and 6 nautical miles respectively.  Am I getting the units confused between nautical and regular miles or are the names close but not quite 100% accurate?

Hi people

Planning a Jurien/Greenhead trip soon and just after some advice because i've got pretty little understanding about this area. I've read the best time to travel up there is around March/April/May. is this correct? Also, how do you monitor the weather there because it would be pretty pointless heading there for the weekend and its blowing its nuts off.

Possibly going with 3 mates and 3 big boats (22' glass, 26' glass, 26' abcat ) so is there a decent marina/ ramp there?

Also, is it advisable to have some sort of tarp over the bow of the boat to protect it from small rocks being thrown up?

I've read about fishing so that areas covered.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi guys,

anyone got a Tcurve travel from shimano? How do you like it?

I already got a raider II travel 8-10kg rod and for the price, it is really a nice rod. Tcurve should be slightly better still and I'm thinking on getting a 10-15kg.

Something for the land based guys to keep an eye on in case they try it in WA.

Will effect those who chase snapper and YTK there. Even the salmon fishes will have to go to small hooks.

Does anyone use one of these total knife care nirey elec tric knife sharpeners..

Thinking about getting the professional model to use occasionly at home and for the fishing knives..

I know they may well were out a knife a lot quicker but I do not have the time patience or skill to sharpen my knives the old fashioned way of the stone..

These combined with a good quality steel seem the go..

Pros cons and thoughts on this model or others out in the market place...

hi guys,

Gday all

Just wondering if anyone uses the app and is it owrth downloading. Looks as though it could come in pretty handy but have been burnt with other apps in the past not working properly

Has anyone had any faults with this one - cos about 15 bucks but much cheaper than buying a plotter

Hi all,

I've been looking for a little while but never seriuosly at getting a 12 volt fridge for the boat as a second eskie for the 3 day weekends, family days or even just dawn to dusk cool drinks thing and saw that Hooty just sold one on this site.

does anyone have any they use? Worth the money? are the cheaper ones nasty and not worth the head ache and if you plug it into the boat (granted I have two batteries), will it suck the life out of them and will it handle the abuse a boat in a southerly sometimes gives it?

I already run two eskies with one for fish adn one for drinks/food when away but not dealing with ice on the second one would be nice - or would it?

Cheers

Was fishing 20 kays out from 2 rocks on Saturday and about 5 boats hammered past me Goin flat out....... One bloke was only about 10 meters away!!
Would it be so hard to have a bit of respect and either slow down or take a bit of a wider birth!!
It's a pretty big ocean!!

I was having a chat to allrounder the other day about this

let's say you pull up over a good mark , fish showing.

how many  drifts do you give it before heading off,  if you're getting  no interest from anything good??

Hi, is there any one who could give me the right order for reassembling the components of  my Sea Martin drag. I have just got back into fishing after a few years of ill health and got out the trusty old Sea Martin and decided to strip it down (not the sealed section with the gearing etc) and give it a good "old grease and oil change"! Alas I have absolutely no idea of the order to replace the drag components. I hope someone can help. Thanx.

 Hey all. Pretty new to diving only got my license at the end of last year.

Cheers everyone

Hi All

I will be in Exxy next weekend for a week WOO HOO!!!!!

What has the weather been like lately and whats been biting???

Any local info appreciated

Cheers

is the hillarys fad missing? couldnt find it for the life of me yesterday searched the area for while and it definately wasnt where it should have been!!

Hey Fishos,

I'm trying to refine my style.  Instead of chucking a prawn to the middle of the river and waiting, I've been observing structure, watching the other guys around me and reading up on river fishing for black bream wherever I can.  Bought my first decent rod today, a 6 foot Shimano with reel rated 2 - 4kg, put 3kg Platypus mono on and had a flick around the river this arvo.  Never used such light gear before but was amazed at how far and how accurate the casts could get.

Was wondering, could anyone recommend a size, name and or model of soft plastic for chasing black bream or a hard body or anything else for that matter.

Much appreciation for any help,

Dunc.
