 Hey guys just recently i purchased a whole range of Ryobi's 2000 4000 6000 8000

i just have to mention that its a great reel

smooth and feels very durable at the same time.

gear ratio = 5.0:1

Max.Drag Power = 7.5kg

Ball bearings = 5+1

(based on a 6000 model)

from $129.00

great price for a designed and engineered reel from Japan

Just wondering what would be a good Salom Combo?
 

I'm heading out on the w.e and I've never been salom fishing before, so I'm not sure what to use....

any advise would be good!

Cheers!

Hey All

Trying to look into a Bucks Day Fishing Charter. Anyone organised one that went well and has some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Metro area, BYO booze, good crew that doesnt mind a few rowdy boys (tough one I know).

Looking at some good fishing crews that will get everyone onto some fish. Doesn't have to be prize catches just enough to keep them interested for the day.

Cheers

Hey guys I'm interested to hear anybody's opinions on these, they seem to look the goods for lure throwing. 

I've been using an 8ft xzoga mastery for lure and unweighted mulie chucking, but sometimes I feel it's just a bit short and I'm missing ground I should be hitting. Has anybody got any other rods in mind, either 9 or 10ft of a similar price? Mainly tailor, salmon etc

Cheers!

Went out for another fish yesterday. Had Honsu down from Perth and Clint and Dave on board. Todays plan was to get a few dhuys early and then head deep and search for some nannys. Was to be a jig only day also.

Got to my dhuy spot at 7.30am and it wasn't long after that we had two on board. Dave caught the biggest which bottomed out a pair of 30lb boga grips. It was a new PB for him caught on his favourite Dawia jig.

Just as we were leaving Harro and crew turned up. Decided to push on and catch up with them out wider.

Fished a few spots in the hundreds with not much luck besides a couple small pinks and a shark.

Harro decided to go deeper and we decided to keep looking around where we were.

After about half an hour got a call from Harro saying he had found a good school of nannies so we headed out to where he was.

On the way out we spotted a water spout that looked quite spectacular. Was a little slow getting the camera out and got the shot just after it started breaking up.

When we arrived we could see the boys on Harro boat were on. First drift for us resulted in a triple hook up on jigs.

A few more drifts and we bagged out. Honsu managed a nice pinky as well.

Decided to give one more spot a go on the way home that Lamby had said he was getting some YTK and sambos on.

This turned out to be a good move as the next hour turned out to be a hot little jigging session with sambos, YTKs and one SBT caught.

After this we headed home. It was a top day out with all fish except the shark caught on jigs. Can't wait to do it again.

love all these con. theorys about the dead terrorist, easy solution get the terrorist to deny it in a video!!!!!!!!

 Hey guys, im pretty new to using braid so just a quick question, how do i tie a pre-rigged xmas tree or richter tornado to my braided line? The leaders on the skirts seem to have a loop thats crimped at the end, do i just use a snap swivel to connect it? If so, do i tie a bimini twist to the clip?

Using a bimini twist still confuses me, I've only used the GT knot so far where you use the actual loop created by the bimini, but how do you tie your bimini to a swivel? Or dont you use a bimini for terminal tackle? Do you just tie a knot as normal and pretend ur looped line is a single strand? 

Hope this makes sense to someone as im planning on heading out early in the morning!

Can anybody help with a bit of info on how to get to the back of three mile reef.

I have not been out to this area before and after looking at a chart of the area my plan is this.

Exit the boat harbour on clearing the southern groyne alter course to 250 deg true and travel approx 4 nm then alter to350 deg true and travel approx 5 nm this by my calculations should put me to the west of three mile.

Comments on the above plan welcomed.

Thanks

I was reading a book of the sizes of fish, and I saw black bream got up to 60cm? Just wondering if anybody has seen or heard of such monsters? Ive only caught them around the 45cm mark at the most

Some of you may remember my report from last year on our prospecting trip. Well we did better this year due to much more research (geologist reports, soil sample results etc). The research put us in the right area and we got lucky. cheers Pete   PS The big one is pure gold, the brown is dirt. It weighed 518 grams (18.5 ozs)  about $30 000 all up. happy days

I know this is a long shot, but because of circumstances beyond my control, I'm wondering if anyone out there can help!!!

A few years ago, an old fisherman who has been going out every week for the last 40-45 years, had the hard word put on him, and he had to sell boat, car & his way of life.

He was given my phone number on the idea that I needed to learn how to fish, and he wanted someone to take him out fishing. In return I would have his spots.

Of late i.e. the past 6-12 months I have not been able to take him out. And he is sadly very desprate, as he is 78-79 ish and is aware that the big fishing ground in the sky may be tomorrow.

My problem is time and a suitable deckie, because there needs to be a crew of at least two, he is practicly wheel chair bound, needs to be lifted in/out of the boat, can walk but very painful. And has other problems now that we won't mention.

If anyone is prepared to help this old tough (and I mean tough) bugger can they send me a message. Even one trip to one of his spots would be the world to this guy.

From my point of veiw, I feel very quilty that Wife, off spring & house must come first, and he misses out.

Forgot to say that the area is the coast of Perth, he would take a taxi. Cockburn, Fremantle, Hillaries.

Opinions on wether it is to undergunned for softplastics work on a trip to the abroholis

 Hey everyone,

My cuzn just bought a 14ft aluminum dinghy and we want to know where some good places are to take it fishing, places which are obviously suitable for this sized boat. Would love to get out in some deepish water for a fish but not sure whether it would be appropriate, if anyone could reccomend any good spots that would be great. Dont mind if its a bit of a hike- jurien, busso etc.

Cheers,

Langerz

hi

I have only recently started fishing with ganged hooks and am using them for tailor fishing, I went to buy some today and noticed the shop had some which were joined together with swivels, can anyone tell me what the advantages / disadvantages of using this type of gangs are ?

I got bitten off three times on Sunday night and am considering using wire leaders, I was using a 60lb mono  leader, I have read on a few internet sites that using wire leaders can really put the tailor off the bite, can anyone advise me on whats best to use for tailor ?

thanks

Hello all,

I am in the process of trying to decide what kind of spinning reel I am going to get. I have been looking in particular at the stradic 8000 as it is quite well priced and also comes with 2 spools. This would give me the flexibility of using 1 spool for medium duty saltwater spinning (20-30 lb line) and the other for jigging (50lb braid).

My question is, has anyone used one of these for jigging before and will they be able to stand up to use with 50lb braid jigging for sambos etc.

What alternatives are there to this reel??

Thanks,

Dan

 Well its only a couple of days before the kids have to go back to school so we decided to have some fun on the water. With light winds on offer drifting in four metres at parmelia bank was a joy.

It didnt take long for us to get six onboard with Jesse getting pick of the bunch with a hood of just over 300mm and his sister Emma picking up a couple of beautys. There was yelling and screaming at times with all three rods going off at the same time and trying to dodge flying black ink which I didnt, but the kids come out with not a bit on them which they thought was bloody funny .

With the snorkelling gear on board we shot over to garden island for swim and with the water so clear it was hard to get them out of the water after an hour.

On the way back to the ramp we picked up another couple of average sized squid and then headed home for the fun part of cleaning the boat and squid.

It was a top day to finish off the school holidays with the kids going back to school and me hopping on a plane back to Telfer for a week. Lightly crumbed squid rings and salad topped the day of nicely.

Cheers

 I am looking to import a boat from the US and looking to spend about $30-40k USD on the boat. I was nearly sold on a 2006 Seaswirl 2301 W/A but then did some research on the Boston Whaler 235 and 255 Conquest. Any suggestions?

Hey guys,

I have a new certate 3500 which i want to use for casting 20g to 50g metals and also for light beach fishing.  So...

I am looking for a recommendation for a 9' 4-8kg rod that will really belt a lure out.  Up to $300

Second, what line?  If mono, then I am thinking of 5-6kg.  But if I got 15lb braid, can I expect a better cast?  Not really sure whether mono casts better than braid or if its even a legitimate question because the two types of line are so different.  Mono is really easy to flick around compared to the knotting you get off beaches with weed if you are using braid.  What do you think?

Not sure if this is really of topic or not :D

I'm guessing quiet a few of you have a fish tank/s

I'm just wondering i have a 120L tank and a 500L/h internal pump, water is clear but i rekon i can get it a lot clearer with a better pump.

What pump should i get? internal? external? bio wheel? theres so many options.

Tomorrow I'm going to get a gravel filter so i can get more air into the water.  Also want to upgrade the pump or add in a pump. Any suggestions?

much appreciated.

i'm looking for a new handle and knob for a stradic 4000 fi

i bought it second hand , and its had an aftermarket knob put on , and i think the arm was drilled to accept it , but a couple of sambo's made short work of it.

any idea's as to where to find one???

hi guys

just thought i would try on here first!

i am chasing a engine cover for our 15hp honda , it is a early square shape, bf15a is the model number.

not worried about the condition, color or stickers.

my co owner hit a under water rock at kalbarrie and the engine cover jump off and sank to the bottom...ha ha ha ha...he did jump in and try to find it, but to no avail.

shouldnt laugh as its not funny(it is realy), but whats the chances of that happening?

or dose anyone know of a outboard wrecker in W.A, dont mind paying for post,

they want $700 for a new one with no stickers, thats extra.

the engine only cost us $400 to start of with!

thanks in advance

ron

My wife expressed an interest to go fishing recently so keen to make the most of the opportunity. I know she'll lose interest pretty quick if nothings biting so looking for a good spot in the metro area to go? Haven't fished for a while so not sure whats biting.

Think somewhere like maybe e shed, point walter maybe.Somewhere with easy access (no rocks to climb) Target whiting, herring etc.

Cheers,

Adrian
