My patience has been rewarded! I took the new girl for a run today and had the great company of a few of the FW old farts and some of thier friends. A great day and some stories remembered. Here are a few pics.....

FW uploads are not working so I will post some more pics soon.

Thanks for the offers to help with the resizing of pics guys. Looks like I have to get a mate to sit down and show me sometime later. Bloody hopeless with computers mate, they drive me round the bend 

 a little while ago a posted up about making my own burly out of your old fish frames/old bait/shit fish.

i finally got time to modify the chipper and it works a treat, you do get the ocassional big piece, but this minced up hole heads and frames.

i even managed to get an(donated) 8kg dhuy head and frame down in one go.

frames to be fronzen first, dose not work as good on raw stuff, i also noted that it would be best to freeze the frames flat, instead of being all twisted up in a coles bag.

i just got out the big gimpy and bashed them flat (learn by your mistakes)

then remove the top piece and clean up was easy, now i know it works i will make the top out of ally.

this is the minced up product out of the chipper

adding in the pollard/breadcrumbs/oil in my mixing bowl (an old bath tubb i converted to a hydro bath for my dogs work as an exellent mixing bowl) and so easy to clean 

the finished product, freeze in my fish freezer,ready packaged for easy use, fits into my pvc pipe burly cage i made 

now for the test to see if it works? cant see why not.

no more throwing out my unused bait or stinking the bin out with fish frames, its all getting chopped up.

another thing i noticed when making it, is the flys were hanging around the old frames sitting on the ground, as soon as it was minced up they would not go near it, dont figure hey?

test it tomorrow.

One dead, two hurt in serious injury

Chris Robinson Perth Now April 24, 2010 5.16pm

The RAC rescue helicopter located the three men some time after 3pm this afternoon after they had been separated from their 4-metre overturned dinghy.

One man was pronounced dead at the scene. The two remaining men were taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, where one – a 14-year-old boy – remained in a serious condition yesterday evening.

Members of the Two Rocks Volunteer Sea Rescue Group spotted the overturned vessel about five nautical miles off the Two Rocks coast at around 1:20pm.

Police say the men had set off on the boat earlier today.

Police are yet to determine the relationship between the three men.

Hi all - going after some squid this weekend in Mandurah - any good spots to look ?   Thanks

hi guys just wondering if there is a easy method of taking good line off a reel and putting it back onto a empty plastic line spool because its still good but want to change it to a heavier line its easy to put on but there must be a better method than reeling it up like a handline .cheers

im heading to rottnest on tuesday for a bit of a break from the kids.

dose any one know where you can/cant fish, and mayby the best places to go??

also what gear to take and what i might catch (is there any salmon left?)

Thanks guys

just wondering any one heading out tomo for fish light to moderate 13 to 18 knots ese is this good 

While every other mongrel on here is going up there for holidays I'm going up to remove asbestos. Never been, don't know if I'll have time for a proper fish. Looking at Google maps the marina appears to be a handy little destination to get a couple of casts in after work. Love to use lures, particularly soft plastics....anybody have any sort of experience up there doing this?

Hoping to go a little further afield but just don't know how much time I'll have, any help will be appreciated. Oh, and if anybody's up there with a boat at that time (yeah YOU Jamie) I don't get seasick, won't drink all your piss, and I give all my fish away! And I won't call you a mongrel again!

Hey

ok im in tassy and there is this stream that i was fishing today.  i was using halco scorpions in every colour.  i tried and tried i could see the trout swimming then once they saw me they would swim off. now i had my lure in front of this fish which looked at it but didnt attack.  it just swam slowly away.  now how can i catch these critters.  it would make my day.  theyre big too.

Hope I am not going to start a stampede.

Was recently on a holiday in surfers paradise, decided to go on a fishing charter(gone fishing).wasnt too bad could of been much better...all 12 of us were bottom bouncing while the 2 deckies were ballooning for mackerel and once hooked up they would pass the rod to the customers and by then the fish was pretty much worn out(not fishing i recon)i was the only 1 to get an actuall fish from the bottom which was a nice cobia..all the fish being caught were killed and kept..when i landed my fish i asked can i release it and he laughed in my face..i said i can have much more satisfaction releasing a fish then eating it and he laughed and offered it to the rest of the people on the boat and every1 put their hand up to take it...no wonder their charter isnt the greatest coz they are keeping every fish they land. fish for the future and not your stomach i recon. i'd hate for myself to have a son and not for him to be able to catch a decent fish

hi all   im   headin  up   this   w/e    and   want  to  catch  anything  decent  from  tailor  to  targeting  big  mullaz  and   sharks  at  night,  anyone  had  any luck  with  same  sorta fishing, any good  points/spots  were is deep  or   always  on  the  bite???           any advice  would be much apreciated thanks

 ash.

After opinions on a rod around the $350 mark for trolling and ballooning running 10kg. I've settled on a tyrnos 20 over a TLD for the reel but undecided on either a single or two speed model (help). I'd like the rod to be between 5'6 and 6' and use runners only but will consider roller tip if someone can convince me. I've read back through some older topics and have noticed some problems with some live fibres which was what I was considering (stroker series) so any feedback would be great. Will hopefully be giving the outfit a good run during Carnarfin at the end of May and during the Broome Billfish Classic in July.

Cheers,

Damien

I was fishing the back of Garden Island on the weekend, but the schools were patchy to scarce. Are there more schools heading north.
