hey guys,

looking at getting a swag for myself and i am not really too sure whats out there. Price wise, im not too fussed cos it will be with me for a while (hopefully. i want something thats pretty decent quality that will last.

so what is everyone useing/ can recomend?

where can i get good fresh bait from i live around scarbs

Well it's definatley been wayy too long inbetween drinks!

Haven't posted much for a while thats basically because i haven't fished. Been busy with TAFE or the weathers just rank!

Anyway, got out yesterday with a mate Luke, jigging the deep water!

Day started off slow with a few baits dropped, few jigs dropped. Not much of a result other than the typical green-eyed sharks...and a nice flathead

Anyway, moved spot to spot and not much to speak of on Luke's usual puka/ruby/trevalla spots. Following that 200-330m contour line showed some nice fish on the sounder. so down went the jigs. Drift was spot on the with buggar all current we were jigging vertically in 200m and i hooked up. This thing made me p*ss on the bottom,  i'd get 2m back then he'd take 1m back and so on so forth...untill floated up a donkey of a grey banded cod at 32kg. Twin assist perfectly pinning him in the jaw.

Pretty stoked with that as it was landed on PE4 with 100lb leader! Luke also got another GB of around the 6/7kg mark

Pretty happy with that, weather was mint...so we headed into the 100s and stirred up a few rat sambos and some skippy! Ended up being a good day, after finalllly getting on the water.

Cheers,

Sam

Hi Ya,

Anybody around here collect or know of anybody that collects Duel Master playing cards?

I have two unopened packs my daughter got from the show that are about to go in the bin.  If you want them, first PM to my PM box with address details gets them. 

Cheers.

PS - i have no idea what Duel Master is but have seen enough to know it is a game of some sort.

just want to know what you boys think about the conditions for a fish tomorrow any good?

G'Day Guy's

Heading up to Port Denison tuesday, wondering if anyone could give me a bit of insight as to the fishing from there.

cheers Jase

G'day All,

apologies if this has been covered in a previous thread but didn't manage to find one. I am interested to see if anyone fishes soft plastics from the beach? I am thinking if the tailor or hezzas are on it would be light gear heaven.

Cheers in advance, Lamby

just found this video on youtube.

hey crew, taking my boat to exxy for the first time, can anyone help me out with coords, etcto catch some solid fish, i have been before on a friends boat,yrs ago.. send pm,s if able ty

found this lure on windmills beach just near cape natureliste the lure was found a few years back thought i might see if anybody recognises it

ANYBODY BEEN CATCHIN ANY SILVER BREAM? - HAVENT SEEN ONE FOR MONTHS

I am sure all you Barramundi fishermen will enjoy this one; my mates recently caught this nile perch on the Nile river in Uganda, Africa. The fish weighed 113kg's and could unfortunately not be released as a crocodile attacked it when they had the fish boatside. I caught a similar size fish in the same location, but 4 of us could not pick it up far enough out the water to get its true weight; weighed 84 kg's with 1/4 of the body still in the water.

hi all,

i was hoping to get advice for people in the know regarding a beach setup for b&b species and also anything else that might swim by such as salmon or mulloway.

being a poor student i was hoping to spend $200 on the rod+reel. i think ill go for braid as i couldnt feel any nibbles/bites today when i bagged myself some tailor (this may just be due to the fact that i have a $100 setup with shimano eclipse rod and some plastic reel). in saying this what strength line do you recommend?

i may be able to stretch the budget a little (maybe $300 rod+reel) with christmas fast approaching.

an all purpose beach rod would be good, something stiff enough to cast a decent size sinker, but also light enough to cast metals/minnows/poppers.

thanks in advance,

-Jay

hi fellas - further to my last sounder post I've decided to buy the FCV-620. Where is the best place to buy these from in Perth?

Was thinking of holding off for the mandurah boat show - I'm asssuming they will be doing show specials?

Im looking for a reel to match a Composite Development (NZ custom rods) 6-8kg trigger grip 7 foot rod i have had for a little while. For LBG use.



Something small and light. Great smooth casting, enough beef in the drag to stop stuff on 6kg.



Was looking at the sl20. What are the other options that would be worth a look... Saltist 20h?



Any help, much appreciated. Cheers.

hey guys i need some help from use about squid jigging.

so if anyone can help me, i need all the help i can get.

im keen to get back into it.

Cheers

Seeing the photos of the fisheries vehicle, thought I would start some discussion on your worst accident/injury, be it fishing related or just general.

What damage have you done to yourself?

A question for the soft plastic fishos.

Have any of you tried the Slam soft plastics / bio baits that  are being put up as an alternative to the Gulps.

I have used the Gulps with a degree of success in deeper water (5" & 7" shads), and with a lot of success in close (6" worms) on skippy etc.

Just wondering if anyone has had a crack with the Slams and what the result was.

Cheers Steve

Got a free pass for the following weekend, no work and a missus keen to see the back of me..... oh the bliss!

Thinking of doing an overnighter for the Saturday to either Loonies or Jurien way, has anybody fished out that way recently? Would appreciate any advice on beach conditions etc. Also open to anyone keen to come along, have some spots in the 4by.  

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has a old handle laying around that would a Shimano spinning reel in the 3000 or 4000 size. The reel is a late 90s vintage and has the type of handle with a square pin profile with a threaded centre which allows swapping from left to right handed.

I have twisted the shaft on my existing handlewhich makes it impossible to use.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Steve

gidday all i have a spheros14000 fa and the spool clicker broke, i sent shimano an e mail yesterday and got a reply first up this morning, part is on its way. Awesome response Plano are tops in that department also . cheers craig
