Anyone know whats happening in the sound lately. we are looking at going out tomorrow but not to far its a bit windy. whats around? 

Cheers Mick for fixing the Flame. I actually now think its a better rod after throwing a few plugs around. Perhaps Okuma might listen.

These reels seem like pretty good bang for your buck. Anyone use them?

Was looking at them in my local the other day, the 850 looks ok but the 950 is damn BIG.

Looking for a decent reel for the boat that will bring up almost anything reliably without breaking the bank. Leaning toward a 850.

Handy to know whos around?

Hello,

Sadly, I have hit a rock and damaged my stainless prop on the 200 suzuki.  Does anyone know where I can get it fixed or replaced in Karratha?

Thanks

I was going to send this an a PM to Whitety, but thought a few other FW punters who have fished Jurien could also be interested or tell me that I'm dreaming.

I was watching Shimano tv and came across this movie http://tv.shimano.co.jp/movie/tv/salt_dreamer_002/

It shows a fishing pro in Japan casting big and small top water minnows into schools of 30kg+ tuna. Then I got thinking that I've seen heaps of birds flying around tuna schools when I've been out with Whitey.

My question is, do you even get 10-30kg tuna off Jurien?  If so, in large enough numbers to chase them around and be able to make a fun day out of it?  Or are our tuna species too small?

I know you can troll around for macks and tuna, but I was thinking more of a 'find a school and cast lures on spinning gear' style of charter.

If there is anyone that is heading out from Mandurah tomorrow that wants a deckie I'm keen. will pay for fuel/bait whatever.

Cheers

 Going on from Tailor Marc's discussion I thought I would post a picture of something I use to touch up my knives on a regular basis. The local butcher at Currumbine put me on to them and in fact sold me this one. It's a great device in that by lowering the lever above the sharpening blades at the top the device attaches firmly to a bench top and then releases just as easily. As I have said in Marc's post I use a butcher's boning knife of high quality steel. A couple of swipes occasionally and a good rub with a steel keep it in prime condition. I guess the secret is to keep it in a sheath and not do silly things like cutting on rocks or a sandy cutting board.

Some people may recognise this guy? Its Gman from 360tuna, usually pictured with blingy jigging gear, but not this time. Laughs, even his hair is straight for the pic.

Anyway the fish is a PEI Giant Bluefin around the 1000lb mark. The angler caught it on 80lb standup gear, probably on a herring.

 hey guys just wondering if anyone now a good place to get a 2000 115hp merc 4 strok to get a service and a tune up prefure noth of the river and roughly how much last one cost me $1000 and acived fuk all cheers 

Hi im looking for some working experience as a diesel mechanic!
Any help would be great im located SOR

Hi guys

Just a word of warning, I have a shimano reel with a seized drag bearing (big Baitrunner) sent it away and got it back within a week which is a good turnaround time.  Problem is that even though it has a 10 year warranty and the reel is 9 months old a seized bearing is not covered.  The guy in sydney who I rang was pretty rude with no customer service skills and said if I use it on the beach these things happen....(what are they made for)  I explained to him I have taken good care of this reel and unlike others it has never been dunked in saltwater and washed down with fresh water and a bit of inox like all my reels after use.  This reel will be for sale shortly with a replaced bearing $60 and shimano service.  I will never buy a shimano reel again and probably not any of their other products as I have a pretty bad taste in my mouth from the pathetic attitude I received from the Shimano rep.  lucky most of my reels are daiwa and penn

Just a heads up thats all

I am wanting to try out some Soft Plastics from the beach for Tailor, herring, Salmon etc. Before I go out and spend a fortune on jigheads, can anyone share their experiences of this kind of fishing???

I am looking at using 4 to 5 inch plastics (berkley, atomic etc). What weight jighead would you reccomend from the beach? I guess it needs to be large enough to get casting distance (for fish like tailor) but not so heavy that it destroys the action of the plastic.

Is half oz heavy enough? Too heavy?

Any advice from you experience would be great. Thanks

I'm looking Into getting a new heavy beach outfit, tossing up between a daiwa sensor surf 13ft in the 20-40 lb version or a lemax red sword or blue mountain 14ft in the 20-60 lb also matching it up with a shimano saragosa 18000 just wanted to know if any one had used these rods especially the lemax since I haven't seen very many reviews on them and I'm a bit worried the sensor surf wont be able to handle casting out big baits seeing as it's only rated 3-6 oz and the lemaxs are 2-10 oz . If anyone could helpme out would be awesome cheers

Hey guys, thinking about heading back to Broome in late March early April next year.. Just wondering what the situation is with the fishing and the weather at that time of year. I know its still the tail end of the wet season so it might be abit of a gamble but its really the only window I can get up there.

What are the pelagics like that time of year?

 Thinking of taking the boat out tomorrow... Can't decide whether to have a crack at some bream in the serpentine/murray or head out into the sound and chase some squid... 

Any suggestions?? 

Anyone out there fished Cape Riche recently by boat. Looking at taking mine down there rthis weekend. Any tips
