Hey guys and girls.. My brother and I are keen as to take the kayak out for a run.. We do heaps of saltwater fishing but both haven't done much freshwater stuff.. Is it worth fishing this time of year at dwellingup or anywhere else for that matter??

Any advice would be muchly appreciated..

Cheers Belly

Hi Everyone,

So I went to Woodies again today to throw around some SPs - I tried the 3" Nuclear Chicken Swimming Mullet. Every cast the SP was getting smashed by something and bitten in half. (I think blowies) But on inspection of the SP there are some pretty damn big teeth marks in them. Can anyone tell me whether this is definitely blowies? Or have I just been unlucky to not hook anything? Every bite that was taken was just below the hook.  Photos below 

 Few months ago purchased a brand new 12ft sensor surf rod, since getting it I've used it once off the beach for tailor and twice off the beach up at quobba... Two weeks ago took it to ledge, rigged up and as casting it all the rod from below the reel seat splintered and cracked took it back and have just got the call ffor the shop saying that daiwa won't cover it as a warranty job. Well that sucks.... Rod has never been knocked and when I have been transporting it its always in my SW lab bag. Was told by the rep tho that he will sell me a bottom section.

knew I should have stuck with shimano gear, grr

I'm heading down to Yeagerup early August with a few mates for a bit of 4x4ing / camping / fishing / fishing / fishing and refreshments. We are all avid 4x4ers and won't have any trouble with that or the refreshments side of things but what about the fishing? I'm thinking a couple of big roads and tackle for the ever hopefull mulla or shark etc and a couple of lighter gear for herring and whiting. 

Am I going to go to a lot of effort only to get there at the wrong time of the year????

cheers

happy about that took 4 of us total of about 3 and a hlf hours..

perth boat school was used very good service from them...

 I have a Stella 20000 that has striped 2 gears a twin power that seizes up every time you put load on it a Stradic that the screws work loose on every time I use it and now my 6 month old sustain 5000 is  fu$&ed snapped locators and screw on the body had a gut full of this crap

Gday All,

Weather looked ok so up we went to Two Rocks for round 2 on friday, not a massive day out fish wise, but my mate (6' 3) managed a very nice Sambo (Released) that went 116cm and that we thought was 20kg as usual the white night 80 buk combo did it again as the Stell and Sustain Combos looked on. Couple of small Dhuies (60cm), the usual monster token Nth West Blowy i thought was a Dhuie, a couple of small sambos and Sgt baker on a jig and a Black Ass. Still managed a decent feed with the Dhuie and BA.

The bait worked best all day, only thing caught on the jigs was the Sgt Baker.

Stillllllllll chasing my big dhuie.

Cheers All Dan

Hi I'm going up to coral bay and exmouth in August will the weather be good for boat fishing, and what species should I target in exmouth on a 5 m boat? Cheers

 A couple of things.

1. While out crabbing, an old guy asks to set his pots inside mine. No problem. I finish pulling half my pots and proceed to the next pot. This guy has set right on top of mine. I tell him it's a bit rich setting right on top of mine and he starts arguing telling me that I can set somewhere else cos the ocean is a big place. I told him to f^€ k off and that he was an idiot.

2. Today coming into Bunbury, crabbers have set pots covering entire entrance to the harbour. Does anyone police the harbours? Can I claim damages if their gear wrecks anything? 

me and a couple of mates went down to tim's thicket today for a flick and to test the new landy. fished for a few hours and got a decent herring and heaps of whiting. not huge whiting but they were like blowies, as soon as the prawn hit the water the bait was gone or you were pulling in double headers of the little guys.

 Heys guy,

I'm fairly new to fishing and just wondering can a good quality rod and reel make a difference in catch rates, or is it just for the ease and feel of a smoother rig??

Thanks guys!!

 gday all...unfortunate happened to me on friday arvo...put my rod down in the corner of a mates boat against the transom door ..door opens from the rolling off the boat and yup rod drops down the gap on the hinged side of the door and sure enough boat rolls the other way and crushed the effin rod :/.....this rod was I giant king jig rod I purchased from oceanside tackle a few months back and worth about 200 ish roughly wich is a bit of money in my regards.

What I want to no are my options...seeing as the rod didnt break its self its not a waranty job or anything so to save my self some coin is it worth stripping the rod for parts and buying a new blank and using the parts on that or would i be better off saving my small xhange for the next few months and just buying another rod ??

All opinions apreciated

 hi any body done the fishing charter with scoupon? i did one the other day and wondered if anyone had the same experience as me! 

 Gday Fella`s,

I`m sure its been done here before but i thought i`d re-ignite the issue. I know there are some creative bush mechanics amongst us.... As most of us go Glamping nowadays with everything that opens n shuts i`m looking for some new ideas and anyway its a good opener for guys to have a spruke about their creativness on here...

I`m not sure its so creative but the 12v LED light strips ( 5 m x 300 leds for $18 on ebay ) is something that has made nighttime like daylight at my camp now - Gone are the days of replacing the mantels in a poxy gas lantern in my camp!!!

Attached is a pic of camp cable tie @ night - 10m of LED action visible from space........ 

what a joke test cricket is now I made a couple of hundreds in mums back yard against my sisters vicious in swingers I am only 53 I must be due for a call up soon for australia or maybe they need to call up my sister for her bowling she would do a better job than the blokes we have now, Bloody hell give the game back to the umpires if they make a howler of a mistake so be it they will be dropped for a few tests the game is called cricket not camera cricket

Heaps of these fish up at Denham on our recent trip, just wondering if anyone can shed light onto what they are?

So I have been fishing 3 out of the last 4 days on what can be considered the right time of day and tides with not much result.  Infact, I have caught a handful of herring, 4 small skippy, some very small pinkies (smaller than my hand) and one very good sized horsehoe leatherjacket. But where are all the good fish?! Are they days of Woodies producing over? Has anyone had any luck there lately?

 Hi all , hitting the beach tomorrow night for tailor.I picked up some sanmar to rig up on

7/0 gangs as bait. Anyone used them much before? Do they stay on better than mulies?

They are definately bigger, so hopefully bigger bait, bigger tailor.

Any feedback welcome. Cheers.

Hi guys, just got to broome after 2 weeks of fishing kooljaman at cape levique in a car topper. Got 4 good tuna, 2 blue lines, spanish flags, gardies, long tom, sharks, small needleskin queenies and lost a mack and a gt,

Hi Guys,

I've lost your number mate, if you still need it drop me a PM

cheers

After reading Icemans post about a mayday and the dick they set out to rescue with the water coppers it might be a crazy idea but I think these vollys should be paid along the same lines as the army reservists are paid .They risk their lives and take the pressure of already over stretched resources like the navy (always out saving refo boats) and water coppers

 Gday Crew,

I`ve got a WB Dory that has served me well up until now but am thinking about down sizing to something that can be roof topped... Those that have them what are the go? I want as big as possible without loosing the ability to drag up n down a beach and load/unload easily... Would you buy again what you own now or have you spotted something better on the market...

Tim

 Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows of some top local tackle shops around canning vale or melville. New to fishing and just looking to speak to a couple of blokes who can give a bit of helpful advice or tips so I can buy the right tackle. 

Enjoy

 Does anyone know if charlie courts are any good for livies? There are so many of them in amongst the good fish up north. Has anyone given it a go? Would be nice if the mackies liked them. Any feedback would be awsome.         Cheers Fab

Anybody been up to the Shacks or further North this week?

Just wondering how the weed is over the reefs?

Cheers,
Millsy

I've got an opportunity to do a quick trip up to Coral Bay for a few days. Any reports from up that way ? 

cheers
