Doesn't seem to be many complaints of raiders and pot thieves yet, maybe a good year ??

hey guys
chasing abit of a idea were my best chances are to get myself a couple of yabbys in the perth metro area .....
have got a couple of nets in my local fresh water lake tonight so hopefully I get a result in the morning

G'day Crew,

Was wondering if anyone has used these clips at all, good or bad reports?

Thinking of giving them a run for smallish stick baits(30g-50g), don't think I would trust them to the approx breaking strain on the pack though.

Would be fishing around 30lb main line.

Cheers

Chris

 I have a side console and want to replace my 2 chairs. They just slot in the holes that are on that boat and can pull out. Problem is theyre plastic underneath and the bolts rip out of them so i am looking for strongly built seats/tube. Would also like the chairs to have handles on the top in case someone wants to stand behind them and can hold on as sitting can hurt at times. amy reccomendations on where to go have a look or even online stores?

 Looking at matching my Talica 12 to a good quality rod (price isnt an issue) for bottom bouncing. Any help would be appriciated... Cheers

 Hey guys,

A few mates and I are contemplating some 100+m shelf fishing in the southwest. Got the rig to do it now but dont have the gear. Whats everyones take on electric reels or snapper winchs for the deep drop?? Thoughts on what we should purchase? Any other advice as far as sounder setup too? 

Cheers lads always appreciated

 Hi guys I'm chasing a light rod for bream and flatties but I want a longer rod at the moment I'm using a two drunk monkeys 6,6 and a trion 7 foot and they are great but would like a 7,3 or even 7,6 for long casting over the sand flats but not sure we're to go any help will be very help thank 

 Hi guys gonna droo my first pots ever tomorrow. How much bait do you use? Would a whole mullet in each do or is it best to pack the baskets?

Anyone been out to the FADS yet any luck so far or a bit early

Cant believe it took that many years for the government to realise the towing of whale carcasses to sea (at least in the metro area's) was the best choice. Obviously, the operation would be weather dependant.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/25474822/whale-removal-cost-170-000/

The issue was discussed on FW previously, and more to the point for us fisho's someone advised towing out a whale to decompose at sea would benefit the marine food chain for years.

 Been doing a bit if searching to see if any potters are getting any Crays at the moment? Can't find many reports or posts!! I'm back in Perth tomorrow for my week off and was thinking about throwing some out near rotto of the ffb but if no one is getting anything it might be a waste of time!

any reports would be appreciated!!

cheers

Dont know if anyone would find this interesting. Was at Monkey Mia and it always is a great view from the beach side cabins. Took 2 photos, one with the camera and one through my Polarised lense and the difference was amazing.

First Normal, then through lenses.

Anyone been up Two Rocks way lately?
Heading into the dunes up there this weekend and hoping to pick up a few Tailor/bread and butter fish off the beach while we're there
Does anyone know what the seaweed etc is like at the moment?

Also anyone able to give me some tips on some bream, picked up a new rod last week hoping to target some bream with canning river just up the road.. but haven't had much luck so far only really been around Shelley bridge though. 

Cheers guys 

Gday ive never targeted KG's before but with this demersal ban on im getting a bit itchy to catch some fish. Have had a quick look on the search engine here and pretty much know what rig and baits to use. Was gonna fish the west side of the 3-mile out from city beach where sand meets reef but just wondering if anybody would be willing to point me to any broad areas out from Mindarie or ocean reef marina's what sort of depths should i be looking for - mindarie is my closest marina also two rocks marina (if it is open yet)  cheers

hi guys, does anyone have any whole frozen salmon or fish that size that they will like to give away or sell to me? thanks

For some reason (moon, tides, sun, swell, sea, etc, etc) most fish seemed “shut down” this weekend.  Fished the MAAC comp and it was hard work getting fish for the weigh in – was the same for everyone though.

The only species that seemed to be on the bite were the whiting.  We were lucky enough to get a couple of cracker King George early, 500m off the coast, with the biggest going 560mm and 1.05kg.  An afternoon “try” for the sand whiting increased our bag but everything was hard work – lots of fish on the sounder but no bite – even the sambos didn’t take the live bait on proven ground.

YPM managed 4 species which gave him the 6th juniors win in a row and the “expert repairer” won visitors, KG, and fish of the day so it wasn’t all bad.  A lot of hours for little return though.

We did find the depth of the sand whiting so I took out the better half and the young daughter for a quick trip to hunt them today.  The purpose was to stock up pinkie bait for after the ban and get a few fillets for Nana.  At least this worked and the whiting catch with 2 rods, and licences, was about 30 per hour.  With lots of quality bait carefully stored away, bring on December 16.

Following my posts last week containing underwater Go Pro images of fish trolling and at anchor (http://fishwrecked.com/forum/targets-aquired-and-captured: http://fishwrecked.com/forum/targets-aquired-and-captured-again), there was a lot of interest from members about the housings used to obtain the footage.

With permission from the manufacturer, I took some photos of the gear as shown below.  I know it took a lot of time to perfect the design and based on the footage we obtained they work really well.  The downrigger is also an important element as you certainly don’t want to “donate” the Go Pros to the ocean.

I am still intending to post some video but haven’t had a chance to edit it all yet.  These devices allow you to learn so much more about the ground you are fishing, and fish behavior.

Looking at going early Tuesday morning off two rocks must have a boat licence own gear an go ways in bait and gas etc. p.m me asap

 over the moon so far .solid as a rock,massive thanks to ian ,once again ,top bloke,now i will show him how to get a big dhue boy one day.paint job few weeks away.still thinking about big print .DAN IS GAY,,side off boat, finnish flow coat tuesday for deck(none slip,no carpet,).my stools turned out wicked,used left over deck to make them.

 Hi looking for some advise I have been invited out when the Demersal ban is over to go out and catch some dewies and snapper how ever I don't have anything big I only have light spinning gear i have been looking at the penn spinfisher and have looked at the Ssm or the older ss ones made in the usa would that be a good reel I'll be matching it to a 10 to 15 kg trion rod I have I just don't go boat fishing a lot and though it would be a decent reel to use for heavy spin fishing too

 Won an comp on Facebook and picked up my prize this morning.  Two skirted lures by Vent Right.

Very impressed with the quality and looking forward to catching some big fish.

Hi guys been a while since throwing up a post been busy. Done five dives since the season opened and had a ball!
Bagged out every dive and size has been great. HEAPS of berried females ranging from 10m up to 32m.
Saw bodies post on his question about the full moon and diving so attached a few pics from this morning. these were taken in 17m

thinking about a dive tomorrow, wondering if anyone knows if the crays have started to malt? Are they usually right up back under the reef on the November full moon, and would it be better waiting a week or 2 for the full moon to subside.

i know with pots that crays are pretty scarce on the full moon, is it the same with diving?

thanks

 hey just just wondring what the weather will be like in exmouth at the start of january

i know that it will be very hot (in the 40s) but what r the winds doing

i have checked the search bar with not much info about winds

me and my dad will be taking up our 4.7m quintrex so it has to be quite calm (also my dad gets sea sick very easily)

we have been up before but without the boat, we will only stay inside the reef 

thanks for the info

Hey guys,

Does anyone here use the oakley polarised sunnies? From what ive found either grey or blue lenses are the best for open water but is one colour better than the other/more versatile?

Cheers

 Hi guys
