hi guys

 I am thinking of putting a live bait tank in my boat and would like some ideas on how to installing one

if any one has done this i would love to here from you and if you have any photos would love to see them.

regards

kent

Just wonder if anyone has ever caught anything on a trumpeter? I have used it a few times as a last resort bait, after hearing from a guy who knows a guy who uses it *sighs* .

We are going to head away for the weekend leave friday night come back sunday. i want to go kalbarri my mate wants to go greenough. What you think?

Just wondering  - Since the reopening of the fishing season in the Metro area in January, has anybody been interviewed as part of a Creel Survey.

Apparently Fisheries are doing one for the current year, but I have not seen one Red Shirt at the ramps NOR  or SOR in the past 7 months

Anybody else ??

A new passing lane is included in works under way on a $4million upgrade of a 24-kilometre section of Indian Ocean Drive between Yanchep and Seabird, north of Perth.

Transport Minister Simon O’Brien said Western Australian contractor Riverlea Corporation had won the construction contract, including road widening and intersection improvements.

“This project will improve safety and transport efficiency on an important section of Indian Ocean Drive,” Mr O’Brien said.

“Funding comes from the State and Commonwealth and should be completed before Christmas,” he said.

Works will extend from approximately 12 kilometres north of Yanchep to just south of the Seabird turnoff and include:

· widening of nearly 24 kilometres of existing bitumen road to nine metres

· upgrades to the Gingin Brook Road and Caraban Road intersections, including auxiliary lanes and turning pockets

· construction of a 1.8-kilometre long northbound overtaking lane just north of the Guilderton turnoff.

“The project will improve safety and traffic flow by providing wider lanes with sealed shoulders, increased overtaking opportunities and cutting travelling times,” the Minister said.

“The intersection improvements will allow vehicles to turn left or right into the relevant side roads without impeding through-traffic.”

Riverlea Corporation will use regional goods and services to an estimated value of $300,000, providing an economic boost for the region.

The 24-kilometre section of road forms part of Indian Ocean Drive linking Perth to Dongara and the Mid-West, complementing the nearby $106million Lancelin to Cervantes Road project - the final link in the Indian Ocean Drive route.

The Lancelin-Cervantes project is expected to be completed later this year, transferring an estimated 1,000 vehicles per day to the route from Brand Highway.

Enjoy

its all in the title

ive been having trouble with a few different brands of braid fading after the first use not that it matters much but it looks c*&p, just wondering if anyone could recomend a good brand that will hold its colour a bit longer.. cheers Matt 

Went squidding at Hillarys near the lighthouse and found to much weed in the water so decided to try inside the harbour, first cast caght on the jetty and using only 3kg Penn line expected to lose my Yo-Zuri, but my super duper expensive graphite rod snapped below the ferrule when trying to retreive the jig NOT HAPPY JAN :(

can anyone advise the best and cheapest way to fix my rod, thanks.

Gday sorry i dont have any Pics.

Went to lose my cherry last night and have a dab for the infamous swan river prawns. My brother and i were keen or so we thought and headed off about 3pm from Morley to go and get a good spot down East Freo way.

With a few pit stops we hit the water about 4pm keen as mustard to have a crack. To my surprise when we got out there there were already boats anchored up so we had a feed and a couple of Jacks and cokes and waited for it to get dark. By the time it got dark there were about 30 boats around us. Some boats doing very well and some not doing so well.  we ended up calling it quits about 9pm.

The best catch we saw was about 9 liters, My brother and i ended up with about 50 prawns so all in all a good night.  i didnt get wet but ended up with a few prawns and i had a very enjoyable night on the river and would happily do it again.

ive got a bit of a comp this weekend at moore river with a couple of mates 1st prize is bragin rights and want to grab a couple of lures so whats the best coloured lures for bream at this time of year?and what lures and size should i grab(hardbodies)any advice appreciated.cheers

went to canning bridge with my brothers girlfriend and i got my first ever fish on lure (and now im hooked)

neway we got 3 bream my first was not much 22cm (my first but you got to start somewhere) then michelle got 24 ( her first) and then a 26

we also got 3 i think there called  grunter  22cm 24cm and 25cm

not big fish but it was still good to get out

will post pics later

 cheers jason

time to leave this behind for exxy and fast fish

Shimano Trinidad A Series Reels
When the original Trinidad Reels were introduced over a decade ago, they were hailed as a revolution. Other than the obvious transition from gold to the sleeker silver/gunsmoke color scheme, the new Trinidad A reels feature updated gearing and drags that are found in later model reels. Also noteworthy is the addition of a 10A model Trini. Sizes introduced: 10A, 12A, 14A, 16NA, 16A, 20A and 30A.

New Shimano Talica II Reel Models
Shimano has expanded their Talica 2-Speed offerings with the addition of the 20II and 25II reels. These reels are great for trolling or casting applications. The Talica 20II and 25II are topless and feature harness lugs.

Shimano Thunnus CI4 Spinning Reels
Like the Trinidad, the original Thunnus spinners were introduced about a decade ago as a higher end version of the popular Baitrunner series. The CI4 series boasts many of the features found in higher price point reels such as the Stella SW and Spheros FE reels.

I am selling my boat and require a HIN. About how much do they cost? cheers Pete

Hi can anyone tell me if the e shed is holding any yellowtail at the moment thanks

hey guys new to breaming and was just wondering

Going to head out for a prawning dab in my brothers tinny tonight dove for lots of prawns but never dabed so its a first time for me  going down to east freo will be in an old Quinnie with a new suzuki on it i think so come and say hi if your going

hey guys just wondering what your thoughts are on the most effective land based bait/methods for catching pinkies? i was thinking of trying out the standard paternoster rig with snelled hooks (or single depending on bait size) but im relatively new to this type of fishing and have yet to land a nice pink snapper whilst being still on land. any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

I see in the gov rules that fishing in Marine parks is prohibited.

I am referring to the one in the Hillaries - Ocean Reef area. According to what I see on Google you need to go at least 5.7 km directly west to get ouf of this zone.

On the other hand they say no spear fishing from a boat 1800 meters from shore. The way I understand this all is that we are not allowed to fish off boats unless we are outside this exclusion zone.

Does this hold for Pelagic fish as well.  I am not sure but the reef is about 3 km out so we cannot fish behind the reef, we have to go another 3 km beyond that.  Do I understand this correctly?

shimano are stopping production of the baitrunner series

why would they do this when they've just added new models to the range??

i really hope this isn't the case!

(unless it's some pretty nifty marketing hype)

I was the first to book so theres 9 available places right now if anyone is interested in tagging along =) free transport to and from geraldton via shuttlebus + sleep the night on board

Pro beach fishers, including pro salmon fisherman have been banned from fishing from Port Geographe to Black Point East. Should help recreational salmon fishers get amongst more fish before they are netted.
