I have decided that this weekend its bluebone time out in the Dampier islands. What I do need if possible is advise on how to hook a crab correctly. Have some blue manna frozen just for this time and can gather some ghost crabs at night.

Any help would be needed and someone even told me to super glue a hook to the back of a crab

Cheers all

Anyone going out tonight? Considering going down to hillarys, probably be the most comfortable weather we will have for a few days.

Changes to the recreational fishing possession limits in the Northern Territory will come into effect from 1 January 2010.

The Minister for Fisheries, Kon Vatskalis, said the changes include a reduction in the personal possession limit for black jewfish and Spanish mackerel from five to two.

“Recreational fishing is extremely popular in the Territory and an important part of our great lifestyle,” said Mr Vatskalis.

“These changes will help protect our valuable fish stocks and ensure that locals and visitors continue to experience high quality fishing into the future.

“The new measures have been approved by Government following extensive public consultation earlier this year.

“The changes will come into effect from 1 January 2010 to allow time for recreational fishers to become aware of the new rules.”

The changes include:

Personal possession limit of two for Black Jewfish and Spanish mackerel

Personal possession limit of 30 cherabin and/or red claw

Personal possession limit of 3 sharks of any species, including a prohibition on the taking of sawfish

Requirement to use turtle excluder rings in freshwater pots

Boat limit of 10 freshwater pots per vessel (when two or more people on board)

A prohibition on the recreational taking of clams

I just read an ad for a one day sale of 20cm diving knives reduced from $60 to $9 at King of Knives stores across Perth. Only for today though.

Arvo fish at the river mouth yesterday. Dropped a horse of a tailor at the rocks and got smoked by an unstoppable. Rough as guts but the fish were on. Met Doug and his mate down there. Good to put a name to a face.

Cheers Mick

Just to say thanks to everyone for all the help and support so far, its been awesome how you are all so willing to help...so thanks.

Next questions is....Looking at what gear to take regarding tackle, will buy alot in perth due to weight restrictions on the plane but what sort of terminal tackle will I want to stop some of the bigger fish like rays, small sharks, threadfin (if im lucky), mulloway ( if im really lucky) etc, i was thinking hooks in the 4/0 to 8/0 range and a leader of between 60lb to 150lb dependant on the species. also some wire.  Could anyone ehlp me out with this by suggesting a species and then the teminal tackle and rig to aid capture.  cheers one and all

Hi Guys,

Going to attempt to make my own poppers, the thing I'd like to source first is dowel with a hole drilled down the centre. Went to bunnings earlier and couldnt find any.

Anyone seen this stuff about?

Cheers

gidday all has anyone done any fishing round torbay swest bream or beach any info appreciated cheers craig

well im looking to start chasing fish with artificials just wondering what your personal favourites are? ive had a bit of luck with the halco twistys and roostas just wodnering what else they like

Has anybody bothered to do any dabbing in this weather?

I haven't in my open runabout. Maybe when my mate gets back from over east, then we can take his beast out. duck into the cabin for some shelter.

For me, these jigs are simply the best, better than all the rest.

Unfortunately I have broken 2 of them casting into squiddy structure.  Expensive squid!

Please let me know if you stock them, and I will then contact you regarding the specific colours and sizes.

I'd rather a local tackle shop make a sale before I go looking online.

Thanks D.

HI there! Have a cheapo electric winch on my trailer at the moment,which played up a bit last time i went to pull out my boat. Can anyone recommend i good winch..that will not cost me my sheep station, and pull out my 5.3m trailcraft ???

A long time Fishwrecked member and good friend of mine has been down south for a few days (supposedly on a romantic getaway with his wife).

But somehow every morning he has managed to message me pictures of some of the big salmon he has been catching and making me envious of his fishing success while I am stuck in traffic or behind my work desk. Bastard!
There will be payback one day Sherbs.(Lol).

Can someone explain what PE8 means and 6 ect.....

I have wondered what it stands for, i would guess that it is used leagaly for tournements with certin breaking strains or something like that

 Info appreciated

Cheers

hey guys i mistakenly got a pen applause 4000 for bream fishing been told its a bit large so im gunna chuck that on my 7 foot graphite 6 -10kg rod was wondering what line you guys recomend i put on it!

It's one year tomorrow since i joined Fishwrecked and to celebrate i am happy to be presented with any beer, tackle, boats etc that you don't want - i know how this sort of stuff clogs up the fridge and shed. Actually it's been a great year - learnt a lot and met some great people. I hope to celebrate even more years here. BUT NO TOOHEYS NEW OR XXXX

 Hi guys,

My young fella (10 years old) want to go out fishing on the boat with me, but only has a $10 cheapy 6ft rod and matching reel.

What would you guys suggest as a decent entry level rod reel combo for him to fish off the boat with at FFB out off Cockburn sound.

I don't want to break the bank or buy something too cheap that will destroy itself on the first hookup either - he is quite keen and normally sticks with something if he likes it.

Want to spend about $100 dollars or so - is there a medium quality entry level boat combo available at this price?

He can't work an overhead reel yet, and I dont want him to spend the whole day sorting out knots.

 Any Ideas?

I know there are some tackle junkies out there who are right up on these things.

With ICast just around the corner, what exciting new gear can we expect to see coming out?

Do you have any ideas on what new reels or reel upgrades Shimano or Daiwa will be bringing out next?

Hi Guys,

Trying to find some small sz6 hooks that come with an open eyelet so I can gang them. Cant find them at the few stores ive been to, but im sure they would exist. Can't justify buying the pre-ganged ones. Anyone seen them about?

Cheers

Went down to Freo traffic bridges after school this arvo for a quick flick for flatties, Didn’t get any but still good to have a look around. Loads of baby crabs dead all along the shallow water and almost stepped on this one.

Any one get out today?

Just in general what bands/artists do some of you fishos listen to on a roadtrip or on the boat??

I personally love pearl jam... something easy to listen to and sets the mood well.

The US Navy today announced that it has released a senior planner for the Somali pirate ring after questioning him extensively for 27 days while being held prisoner aboard a US aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.

In a humanitarian gesture, the terrorist was given $50 US and a white 1962 Ford Falcon automobile upon being released from custody. The Navy even went to the trouble to ensure his seat belt was correctly fastened.

The attached photo shows the terrorist on his way home just after being released by the Navy.

Have just emptied the spool of 24kg mono on my game outfit ready for some new stuff to be put on and found about the last half (2-300m) of the line is somewhat strained or stretched - seems very inconsistent in strength. Can anybody tell me why this is? Is their a way to prevent this in future?

Hi Guys,

Heading down this way soon and will be taking a rod or 2.

What sort of fish will be I be looking at getting into down there. Only going to be landbased (however I will hire a canoe somewhere at some stage.)

Any areas of interest I should hit up?

Cheers

For anyone contemplating going to Gnaraloo here a some pictures of the track going in which will have a serious go at trashing your trailer, from Quobba theres 90 km of gravel and sand track before your enter the homstead, the condition of the track varies depending on useage and rain, from the homestead you have to go a further 8 kms to the bay to launch , this is the worst section of track and does the most damage, i would suggest leaving your rig at anchor in the bay if your there for awhile trailers need to be in good order, i put double nuts or nylex nuts on everything, and also let car and trailer tyres down to 25 psi to make smother ride

headed out of west side of exxy on sat for a troll for some billies, i took my mates boat because its a little bigger and easyer for me to fish in. i set my tld 50 and tyronos 30 up with skirts and headed out towards the 100m mark. make note i have never trolled with these rods without using straps, but i had left both of them in my tinny. it was a slow start until a very nice sive billly came into the spread cheaking out my ballyho in close behind the boat. then he turn sharply and belted the skirt out back on my tld50, but before i new it the rod holder had exploded and the tld flew out the back of the boat and skipped along the water. It was a very sad day for me, the reel wasnt that old and i had just bought the 24kg backbone rod 4 days early that also flew out ther boat. i learnt two lessons, never troll expensive outfits without straps, and never use plastic shitty rod holders. more annoying part was i lost the biggest billy i have seen so far.
