I want to give squiding a shot seeing as winter has come but have never done it before.

I have two cheapies in 3.0 and 3.5, and a yo zuri in 3.0, but how do you guys work the jigs

and where? 

Anything appreciated, 

Andrew

Hey guys just wondering how the fishing is in the dawesville cut lately, planning to go down this Friday and stay in mandurah till Sunday. Cheers

Hey all,

I am off to the Abrolhos in 6 days for a week of diving and LOTS of fishing.

I am Just wondering if anyone who has been there has any tips for what tackle I should take up.

At the moment I have got a range of plastics, jigs, etc. are there any dinamite lures there??

is it worth taking poppers or stickbaits?

taking up my bream setup, PE2, PE6 and a a boat rod.

any tips greatly appreciated.

cheers,

tom

hi all ive beenon the site a while been trying diff things to try catch the fish

ive been fishing alot from woodmans to freo and so far i have zip the wife said you keep using fuel and bring nothng home

ive fished near the power boat place on the long jetty there and best ive done is only 1 or 2 heering

fished ammo jetty a few times  1 whiting and a few yellow tail and some scallies

been to freo a few times just down from traffic bridge mostly trumpeters some yellow tail and small snook

my luck in fishing here in perth is well  plain and simple i seem to suck

i have take trip to cooktown and sydney and both times got nice bg fish but not once here in perth not through lack of trying either

so im looking for spots to try new spots with in a hours drive from woodmans point

maybe im not doing something right wrng bait wrong hooks wrong riggs but i try to use diff

i know when i a boy we use to get mullaway sharks down here at woodies but them spots are no longer accessable and are now rockwall

i normaly take my son with me to 3 to 4 rods

1 beach rod as my big line and a smaller rod i use for heering whiting ect ect  1 flick rod thats it

mybe its just my luck and here in perth well i just dont have any of it...

so im now going to look at  this spot in kwinnana as well as try the kwinnana jetty and maybe of the beach near the mussel farms

is it best to use 1 bait for take a mix or mullies/squid/ocy

anyway thank you all for reading my ramblings if its all to much just say shut up and ill go away.

This pic here is a 4cm blowy was caught on a small bait hook it was funny at the time.

Do you need a license to fish from a boat? Like even fishing for herring and tailor or squid for that matter?

A mate and I are making our first week long trip up to Quobba in 2 weeks. We have spent countless hours talking about what we need to take etc and as the days till the trip get fewer the amount of time lying in bed unable to sleep from the exitement gets longer... We are loading the ute with 2 motor bikes, tinny, spear guns, camping gear, fridges, beer etc...... the list goes on...

12 ft 10kg X-factor grafite-14000 Spheros-30 lb braid,   9 ft 24 kg T-curve-8500 Fin Nor-50lb Braid,   7 ft 3-6 kg T-Curve-3000 Arelex-20lb braid, 2other similar set ups as spares,  150lb- 60lb Jinkai, 150lb wire traces, 90cm balloons/ helium, various hooks up to 8/0, box full of halco twisties 50- 60gm, some crazy looking dumbell poppers, 1m gaff, 2.5m gaff with the pool brush handle to extend it to 6m, rope gaff, and all the normal tackle I would take out in perth waters.

Due to us having never fished like this before I can only guess what to take, can any body add to this list or sugest any extras to take... Also what bait and / or additional lures would be the best to take with us?

Thanks guys..

heading up kalbarri in morning ,anyone been up there lately?

 With a lot of squid being caught lately, what do you guys do with the heads and legs? Bait? I always keep mine but usually just use the legs for whiting and stuff.

Just wondering if anyone uses the head with legs on as a big bait for dhuies or snapper? I've tried them before but never caught anything. Someone show me a pic of a fish they've caught on a squid head! 

Hey folks,

Looking at connecting up a flouro light with a 240v mains outlet to a spare 12v car battery (so I'm not concerned at running it flat). It's just for a couple of hours at a time between recharges.

I'm pig ignorant and despite a bit of Googling (which has left me more confused) still have no answers.

Can anyone here explain to me in laymans terms?

Cheers,

Buschy

 Can anyone tell whats the best fuel flow gauge to buy, and/or cheapest around Perth or off internet. I have a Lowrance HDS8, dunno if theres lowrance ones that hook straght into unit, but think it would be good to have to work out best economy

Not a fish but my wife recons my dog could star in Hollywood if only I knew how to operate a camera.. LOL

Not the best weather Sunday but looks offshore at least so thought I'd try and get into some shallow water stuff if it's not too bad on the water. Either dives, squid or whiting will be the main plan. Nor or sor. If anyones keen, send me a PM

Hey Fellas, heading up to Broome town next week for a bit of a wander and an explore.

Any input on Broome land based options??  Was thinking Gantheume point to chase a coupla bluebone!!??  Float a livey off the bank in Barred Creek and a bit of lure chucking.

Will probably end up taking a quick look in at telegraph pool/Willare Bridge COuntry too.

Got any ideas, I would like to get onto a Barra but know its the wrong season now and have heard that the Threadies have been thick.

Cheers.

can anyone give me tips on bream on poppers ive heard of this happening but not very often

also love to hear any reports of anyone actually doing this.

Hi Guys,

Heading up to Coral Bay soon. The missus has let me loose to get a new fishing outfit. I am interested in knowing what you think is the best rod and reel set up for some light bottom bashing for spangos etc inside /  just outside the reef towards north passage. Spin or O/H.

Jessica Meeuwig is coming to Busselton on May 19 at 6 o'clock at the Tennis Club to discuss the recent Federal Marine Park Draft management Plan and how Geographe Bay is UNPROTECTED.We'll be ready this time and I urge people who fish to attend and voice their objection.

Quick after work sess wth Daz north of Mandurah....Got 16 in quick time. Delicous.

hey i was just wondering if any one had any tips of what rigs to use down at the e shed going down next full moon for 3 nights and trying to figure out wat there getting caught on cause i'v herd you have to be on your game with rigs and baits down there. any info would be great cheers

Anybody had a crack for squid and or crabs in the sound recently?

I am thinking of giving it a crack tomorrow.

Looks like it is going to be pretty windy, but am in need of a few fresh squid!

Hey lads,

Just out of interest where can one buy super fresh unfrozen mullies or sardines in Perth? And if you were to have a fish this weekend for Salmon or Tailor in the morning around Freemantle which area would you hit?

Thanks in advance,

Oldsalt

Still trying to find a mulloway. It looks like I won't be going as far north as first hoped so I am tossing up between going back to the area north of Leeman (which to be honest has never looked like producing a mulla - despite info to the contrary) - OR - heading up to Sandy Cape.

I've visited Sandy Cape a number of times, although only fished it once without success. There should be some nice gutters starting to form around now so figure it might be worth a stop for a night or two.

Can anyone give me any advice on whether I am better off targeting the sheltered area close to the main camp sites, or hitting up the more exposed areas to the south? I have a 4x4 so don't mind doing the hardwork to get to decent spots. Am I better targeting the gutters or looking for reef structure?

Going on a scaly mission soon - so will be using scalies, mulies, potentially blues and hopefully whiting as bait. Whiting being my first preference but it depends if they are around.

As far as rigs I try to use running sinker, 2x snell hooks...sometimes gangs...just depends on the bait and conditions.

I guess any tips, secrets, hotspots, etc on the area would really be appreciated. I've been chasing this mulla for going on two years now and don't seem to be able to move on and try and different types of fishing until I get it.......so it would be nice to nail it. Even if it's a 30cm schoolie! :-p

Cheers,

Buschy
