Swan Blueys Today :)

Beautiful sunrise and a beautiful morning on the river today... but even better with this feed :)

I cant wait for dinner tonight!!!


Swan Blueys!

I do like my crabbing and I've been having a good run on the Swan Blueys. Drop netting the deeper water in the lower reaches and the crabs are decent size too!

Took my staff member Mike out last trip and went for a arvo run with a rising tide and got our bag of blueys!

They were chockers full of meat and tasted delish.........best crabs for sure!

A few coldy's and esky full of crabs just made it a great arvo!

$59 delivered inflatible kayak on scoopon

http://www.scoopon.com.au/deals/7780/just-59-for-an-inflatable-multi-chamber-kayak-delivery-included-usually-149

 

 

if your like me you can already think of heaps of things to do with this. paddle baits out, stealth bream fish in that spot the boat wont reach... drop some pots out at canning bridge..  get drunk and float around in the river...

 

 

i dunno, i think its cool and cheap as hell...

 

 

get into it! 


Is this stuff OK for ballooning?

 Hi all,

please see this link - its helium in disposable bottles.

http://www.partysource.com.au/balloons-and-accessories/helium-gas-tanks.html

I know helium is OK for ballooning but has anyone used this product?

I have read here that "party gas" is cheaper than helium.  Is this price considered expensive?

KLF Lures - any info??

Was sent over a freeby australian made KLF Lure with another purchase I made from Eastern States. (Black Magic Equalizer harness/gimbal)

(Medium Osy skirt, in a similar looking colour to the Richter lumo 93.)

Anyone know anything about these lures or had success with them??

Cheers.

Browny.


Tackle Shops Port Hedland - Karratha

I'm based in Port Hedland so basically my only options to get into some gear (other than internet) are K-mart and Smirkeys. Smirkeys has some good gear but is soo expensive.

I've heard there's a tackleshop down in Karratha, is it worth paying them a visit for say getting my hands on an ofshore spinning rod?

Skippy

Hey, i wouldn't mind going down and flicking some plastics around hopping for some skippy or other fish. I dont want your secret spots but a general idea would be very appreciated, cheers troy.


wilbinga flies

Went to Wilbinga for bash on Thursday, & got eaten by flies. Little bastards draw blood & swarm around ya.
I tried Bushman, they got worse, I tried the other Stuff no better.
Has anyone got a solution to this please. It really was quite bad.


Sailfish

Got these 3 in our moonpool at work at the moment. Amazing fish to watch, any ideas on what they are exactly? They seem to be a blue/silver underneath and a dark grey on top.


Best way to price boat to sell

Just wondering what the best way is to price a boat when selling it?

Ally boat repairer

Gudday Gents,

Hope everyone had a fantastic Australia Day holiday. I know i did while boating and having a go on a friends new sea doo, well that was until my mate got on the thing and didnt realise that when they are going slow they cant hardly turn at all. He came in close to shore to turn and squirt everyone and all he ended up doing was t-boning it into the middle of my Traiilcraft. Luckily the owner of the jet ski could see what was going to happen and jumped out of the way.

So my question is does anyone know of a good ally boat repairer that can get the dent out and make it look new again, preferably south of the river.

Thanks & happy fishing

Longpoint

Me and the family heading down to long point either tonite or tomorrow night, just wondering if theres still a way to get on the beach with a car?


Stradic or Saltist?

Hey guys,

 

can't make up my mind on what reel to buy. It 'll be used for spinning for pelagics around the 10kg mark, but I'd also like to be able to use it for some medium bottom fishing.

 

I'm looking at spending about 250dollars, so the Saltist 6500 or Stradic FJ 6000 would fit the picture. (Or should I get a 6000FI and spent the rest of the money on some lures?)

 

Your toughts? Any alternatives?


any fish ponds for a days fishing in hong kong?

Gday having  few days in macau and hong kong in march, anyone heard of any fishing parks etc ?

Bleeding a tuna

What's the easiest way to bleed a tuna? We went out today and caught a tuna like the ones posted in "what a day out with seasport". I cut its throat like I do with all fish I keep but it was an effort and a half. I have seen on Adventure Bound when they caught that big tuna, Lee stabbed it just above the pectoral fin and bled it that way. Does this method work on the small tuna too or just cutting the throat is the only way?

Reel for Powerspell OH PE4-8

 Hi Guys and Girls

I'm using Torsa 20 on the above rod for a tiny bit of jigging (no success) and for bottom bashing running 50lb Finns.

I think the Torsa is a bit big and heavy and its ratio is 6.2:1 which makes it a mission to wind up a rig and heavy sinker 300m (if you've had to let line out in a drift fishing 150-200m say).

I'm after something a bit lighter and smaller with grunt and thinking 2 speed with lever drag.  Would probably spend $500-$600 on eBay.

  1. Any suggestions based on what you're using?
  2. If I ought to have dedicated sep jigging and bottom bashing outfits please let me know.

Thanks very much.

what a day out with seasport

hi all

yesterday me, my dad and a couple of mates headed out with whitey

with the swell around 2m and reasonable winds the weather was not too great

but amazing i withstood the swell and never got sick

after about an hour we arrived at our first drop

nothing much caught but we repeated the same drop again

bang my friend hooked up to what turned out to be a nice 6kg sambo

moments later i hooked on to something and after a decent fight finally landed my first dhuie

weighing in at 9kg, then whitey got a call saying spaniards and tuna where busting up further out

so after about half an hour we were there and began trolling

seconds in my dad hooks and lands a nice tuna

followed by others on the boat catching spaniards around 10kg and my mate getting a nice tuna as well

now it was my turn and I hooked and landed a monster 14kg spaniard that was nearly as tall as me for which i will be uploading a video of the fight.

after this my other mate who was really sick landed his only fish of the day a 12kg spaniard

this was all caught before 9am, for the rest of the day bottom bounced and bagged out by about 1.30

my mate caught 2 breaksea cod, 2 pinkies (released), a size dhuie and a goatfish

my dad landed some pink snapper as well and another size dhuie and a nice sambo

I topped off my day by catching a ripper baldie as well as releasing 5 snapper(some legal), a skippy and a foxfish

all in all it was a great trip for everyone and a big thanks to whitey and his deckhands

can't wait to go out again

thanks alex

 

 


Disgust at Lancelin

Me and a couple of buddies went to Lancelin for a bit of kayaking and 4 wheel driving last weekend. After a top day out on the water we went for a few frothies and a steak at the Endeavour. We were a bit full afterwards so went for a stroll down to the jetty to see what was being caught. I have never been so disgusted in my life. The first group we walked past were busy filleting a four inch yellowtail....wtf!!  Every crew on there was the same...pillaging baby fish and ruining the stock for the future...where were the fisheries???? If we hadn't been so hopelessly outnumbered I would have kicked each and every bucket I walked past back into the water!!!!!Apparently the jetty gets overrun like this every weekend....I don't want to come across as racist but JHC there wasn't much english being spoken on the jetty that night.


Deleted Way Points

Hi Guys

I've got a Furuno 600L in my boat and the guy I bought it off deleted all the way points is it possible to restore them ? couldn't see anything in the manual maybe with card reader and a PC ?


Lucky side of the boat??

Does anyone else find that there is a lucky side of the boat? In the past, I have had my uncle and a mate from work fish on my boat and most of the fish come in over my side of the boat on more than one occassion. I fish on the starboard side as I go from the controls to throwing out a line and the decky on the day fishes on the port side. I throw the sea anchor out the back to make the boat face the direction of the drift. My transducer is on the starboard side if it has any affect and the same bait is used on all the lines but I can't say if the bait presentation is the same though. My mate reckons that he is bad luck but I don't see the problem as he is the one not catching the fish, no complaining here. ;)
