hey every one i was just wondering who owns a torium 30 and if they would recomend one to be used for shark fishing and targeting big stingrays. i'v herd people say buy the 50 size because they can store more line but wanna ask a few people who own one what they think. cheer if any one responds

just wandering if it is worth getting some soft plastics for my holiday in a few days in kalbarri if it is then what plastics and what size jig heads do i need?

Hey all.

So my plan is to do an alnighter on the busso jetty and i was wondering can i keep two days bags limits because its different days? not shore so i better ask.

If so how would i prove it if someone asks?

Im not saying thatim going to keep the two days bag limits but just wondering it it's legal or illegal.

Cheers danno.

 Hey guys
Heading up to cervantes on friday just wondering if their are any spots worth trying and if anyone has been their lately whats being caught ??

thanks guys

Hi guys,

Went to Anglers Spot today and saw the Lemax Pro Tiny 6'+ which was priced at $122.00 would I be able to find these any cheaper? Was also recommended the Aijiking reel which definitely looked the part was around the $80 mark. If I could get a good softplastics combo for around $180 I would be a happy man. What shop has the best prices?

Cheers,

Langerz

Hi All

Heading up to Eco beach and Broome (5 days each) on Friday. Just wondering if anyone has any info on best tides to fish landbased?

Also any areas firing at the moment worth a crack at?

Have already had some good help from few FW members but any locals or others that have been fishing recently either Eco or Broome or Jacks Creek that can shed some light on best times and also best lures that would be great.

Getting pretty pumped up and hopefully can get onto some good fish.

Cheers

Hi all

Team gates is heading up to Jurien Bay tomorrow for 5 days and the weather forecast isn't looking too flash for fishing out wide.

As we've not been there before, was looking for some guidance from seasoned Jurien bayers on what to expect with the current weather conditions? 

Friday looks the best day, but I've been told that it gets quite windy up there and you don't want to be out on the water when it comes up....pretty normal for most places really, but I'd rather err on the side of caution for our first trip there.

I'd rather fish from the beach than risk going out if the conditions aren't any good, but was also wondering whether there's shelter within the bay or close inshore for some light tackle boat fishing....if so, what's the target species...herring, whiting, skippy, tailor, etc...all good stuff in my book.

Thanks in advance of your comments.

regards
r.gates...
EG 880

PS. if there's any other FW members up there, hope we bump into each other...will be good to put a face to the names!

Have a safe and enjoyable Easter

Heading to Wedge for a day or two just wondering if anyone has tryed or thinks its worth sending out a balloon out for Mackeral off the beach.

A guy down here is selling brand new  fin-nor offshore 8500 spinning reels for $150 looks like not a bad reel - has anyone got one ? or know anything bad / good about them ??? I m tempted... but i d hate to buy a reel then find out the company has poor warranty or parts are a  headache to get etc..

Any advice appreciated

just purchased a daiwa sensor surf of a fellow fishwrecked member !

the rod model is 20lb-40lb, 3-6oz cast weight and 11'6 Overhead. i was hoping to use this for swan river mulloway and snapper at north mole ect as well as the odd medium sized shark ....

origanally i was going to put a penn torque 200 on the rod but since they have gone off special i wont be purchasing one !

the range i am looking to spend is between 250 and $450. looking for something with a reasonable line compasity, the reel will have 30-50lb braid with mono topshot about 120m or so.

also i have had a look at the saltiga surfs and i do like them, but any other suggestions are good !

any suggestions would be sweet and greatly appreciated!

Heyy alll

have recently got the boat fixed up and tested it today, and no leaks, will be giving it a proper run tomorrow... if all is good we will be trolling between Ocean Reef and Mindare, Possible to hillarys.

THing is i know nothing about trolling, apart from the basics... with SBT and some mackies still around i want to give it a shot! but dont know where to start...

what depth around?

what speed(Km/h)?

what lures?

i have 3 lures that i have found, x2skirts x1 Hardy

the hardy is around 13cm and a mulie pattern blue, make is pretty sure 'Storm'...

the skirts are from south africa; but the dark purlpe pink one is suited for tuna and has a flat head as big as a 5c coin...

the second skirt is a lumo green one, exept its head has holes in it... is it a jet head?

both skirts are around 7-8inches...

Cheers all!

Hey all

Well it was a very last minute decision to leave thursday night fish for 3 days and come back sunday night. Now i have never been to the islands and really don't know what to expect. We plan to do a fair bit of light jigging but i also know they catch plenty of BIG wahoo which is deffinatly on the to do list. We are planning on staying on the boat for 2-3 nights, anybody know of some safe anchorages?

Also is it worth bringing a slightly heavier casting outfit say PE6ish?

How far from mainland in the islands?

is it best to head north looking for ground or head south?

If anybody can give me a few pointers that would be greatly appreciated.

hey i was just wondering if anyone has been fishing falcon latley and just seeing what the weed situation is and if there is any taylor lurking about. i'm thinking of heading out that way for easter weekend. any info would be grateful cheers :)and will give a full report on where i go if any info is recived

Last week i was luckily enough to be able to have a week off work and even luckier to spend my time at Eco Beach realxing, eating, Drinking and fishing land based and out of barraddict with Kurt.

We ended up with a heap of fish and i will post a report with pictures but i wanted to share my first tuna.

I landed this one on a Daiwa Certate 3000 loaded with varivas 20lb, a Lemax Black Rose and a Maria Bullchop. Litte can i say it was an epic sight seeing the surface strike and then having the pleasure to walk around the boat, get around the 4 or so grey suits awaiting an easy meal and get it in the boat. As you can see by my facials it gave me hell both in and out of the water.

I think my Navman vhf is r/s.Will recieve but not transmit.Anyone else had similar probs?

 Hi everyone,

Starting out with soft plastics and was chasin a rod made a bid on this particular rod over ebay and won the auction for $15.00. Did I get a good deal or what? Paying more for postage and handling than the actual product. Anyone heard anything about these rods? I saw one guy won a rod on auction for 0.99!!

 hey every one i'm new to fishwrecked but have been reading alot of your articles about fishing for mulloway and sharks, i was wondering if anyone could help us out with picking a fishing spot that would be great for fishing for mulloway round lancilin way or as far south as preston any tips would be mutch apreciated. oh and i know better then to ask for exact spots ;) any think would be great.

Hey folks,

Basically all i want to know is when does a tailor become classed as a greenback?

Chopper im assuming is the smaller undersized ones at 30cm or under?

and Greenbacks maybe over 60cm?

Just want to clarify this thats all.

Cheers.

Got a few new colours in for anyone interested in hitting the rivers over the long(er) weekend.

As mentioned previously the lures are all tank tested and have VMC rings and trebles.  The lures are fishing well for a good mix of salt and fresh water fish - bream and flatties love them as do callop and trout.

The Small Fry are 40mm long, 3g and dive 1-2m.  RRP is $12.95, but $9.00 (30% off) for FW members.

Pickup can be arranged or $2.50 for postage anywhere in Australia (not in WA tackle stores at the moment).  PM me for more info.
