went for a shark bash down port kennedy last friday night, i had a beer while fishing, then my m8 decided to bring a goon bag, thats where it all went wrong, i got well and trully smashed, and passed out, m8s mum had to take me home and i say my parents werent too happy, and to top it off i spewed all over my mum :) oops. when i woke up in the mroning i realized that i had lost my fone that cost me $400 to cancel and lost my finor that cost $400.  p.s am only 16 and dont have a good job 

the moral to the story is drink responsibly

p.s if u have any story, plz post up :)

 heading down dunsborough for a couple of nights, wanted to hit up some good spots landbased. at this stage i want to give canal rocks and mitchells rock a crack, what can i expect to catch at these locations and a recommendations for any other locations within about an hours drive of there, thanks guys.

Bought my cray license and bought my two pots. keen to get a feed of crays.. wondering if anyone alse has caught or heard of any down bunbury Busselton way.. Any advice would be much appreciated...

I bought the Nov/Dec ed of trailerboat fisherman yesterday at Brisbane airport (I needed something to read on the flight back from the Gold Coast!) and on p10 under the SA news, the writer reminded readers of the regulations in South Australia for Blue Swimmer crabs.  Legal size 11 cm (compared to our 127 mm), bag limit 40 per person (compared to our 10), and get this...  a boat limit of 120 when three or more persons are on board!!! (compared to our 20).

How the f..k could anyone eat that many crabs???

I think our fisheries are being very well regulated.  I just wish the Fisheries Officers had the resources to catch the mongrels that abuse the rules.

Hey fellow fishos , with the demersal bans in place I have had more time to get into tackle stores and have a looke at new set ups , jiggs etc. I seen this stuff called Bionic Pink Braid ,it is pretty pricey just wondering if its really good quality braid and if other people have heard of it and are using it. Any feedback would be great cheers.

hey guys just wondering where the fish are biting around busso

havn't been able to go out for a while due to a broken leg  

dunsbourogh is fine but i can only do landbased

After fishing in the tinnie around lil island etc for a while now we are looking for a bit more of a fight now we are a bit more experienced, been catching lots of KG and squid etc but want more of a challenge/fight. any reccomendations thats not gna kill us. whats centaur like at the moment heard theres a fight to be had there

cheers

Has anybody here in Perth got one of these  and can I have a look at it.

Unfortunately my Aunt in the Strand is not travelling so well after a bowel cancer op, so I am dashing over there for a check on her (as a Doc) to see what the story is then let the mad crowd over here know whether they should all dash over. Flying tomorrow at 1145. Mostly around strand and my cousins are mad keen kabeljo and elf fishos, so once things calm down might head for a fish to clear my head.

Might pack the Stradic CI4000 and a saragosa 8000, but no rods. Just get some over there as travellers. I havent got one. Any location advise please let me know asap because they are working people and I might have to wing it.

EDITTED to make location the key!!!

Went for a stroll around the lake on the weekend. I did a bit of a searchhere and other forums and most treads say that there arnt any trout left and they dont restock the lake. Anyone know if this is true and if you can fish there.

I found this... (maybe outdated)

 Looking for someone to come for a dive & troll around Rotto on Tuesday, I have a boat. Leave Woodies point before 08:00 & back before 13:00.

Hi Guys

I am chasing a movable reel seat so I can lo mount my ballistic occasionly.

I have seen a particular style on some saffa, english and american video's but cant find any in oz be it instore, online

This guy is using them in this clip to mount his reel, they are kind of like a pipe clamp you can do up by hand

the full kits that are like a normal reel seat that clamps on wont fit over the butt

Bit more progress on the ramp at Tantabiddi. posts are in and they are backfilling the rockwall on the south side of it.

I get my boat back next week, so they better git their arse in gear.............

5 years ago i purchsed a new chivers meridian with all new bimini covers/clears. Unfortunately the boat sits out the front of my house 24/7 and the weather takes its toll. To begin with i covered the boat with a large tarp. But this only caused more issues, Mould, tarp scratching paint, Tarp wearing the corners of biminis (caused by wind). The actual canvas is ok but all the stitching has erroded on the sunside out. So my question is? is it usual practice to replace your biminis and clears every 5 years or is there more i can do to help prolong the life of my biminis. I wish id spent a few thousand more on a hard top.  

Played it safe this morning with the strong easterlies, deciding to stay inshore.....original plan was to head to Rotto for some shallow sambo action, but glad we didn't as the 20 knot easterlies changed to 20 knot souherlies quite quickly.

Had a quick squid close to Hillarys waiting for the wind to drop, then headed to my favourite sand whiting spot where we hit a bunch of very fat whiting, nearly all over 25 cm and biggest 30 cm.

Deliceous in beer batter tonite!

Anyone out there know what happened to Elliots Darwin dart lures? Was going though some old gear the other day and came across one, great lures, but trolling the net and can't seem to find them anymore. Anyone know where or if you can still buy them? Cheers

Well i don,t see my kids too often as they live in Cairns feeling a bit down so thought i would post a few pics of my boy with his recent catches from the last trip.Any one else have memorable moments while fishing with the kids.

I have hear of blue fin , But as anyone hooked a mackie yet

Farrrk!!!

Cant realy see it but bimini to cats paw to Richter swivel (ar almost $9 bucks a pop intact, 80lb leade sruffed through. 45minute stuffed. Must have been a noah of some size, but fought like a GT with incredible durable runs, never came to the surface. Was a snell drift righ with a stomping fat mulie on it aiming for throut. Water deeper than 12m (18exact) in we skull grad them away from Taxman.

Still wont forget the smooth as sild drag on the stell and the great curve in the Samurai. Awsome combo and sore for the no flash fill. MRS just points and shoot.

 Hey guys, 

Just broadening my knowledge for the greater good. In terms of baitcasting reels used for chasing freshwater species, mainly barra. What is the best?

Im from a saltwater background and know that the saltigas and stellas set the precedents for lower models and other brands. What is the case with baitcasters? I have done some research and seem to be getting the idea that Shimano have the curado and chonarch as well as the core. Diawa have the Z2020H and the Zillion. Then there is the abu revo MGX which won the icast 2011 award.

What reels do you guys look to as the top of the line, what sets the precedent?

 Hi fishos,

Im kinda new am looking for a Stella that will suit my 8-12kg rod

thanks for tha help

Hello All,

I was hoping some of the electronics gurus on this site can let me know if a 1KW Airmar t'ducer (with supplied wetbox) is the most powerful t'ducer available for the HDS-10, or, can 2 or 3 KW t'ducers be hooked up to (and utilised by) the HDS-10 headunit?

Also, I am hearing a lot about the new "CHIRP" t'ducers - so the obvious question is when/if they would be an option to hook up to the HDS-10?

Are the Scalies &/or Tailor up as far as the Causeway at the moment or do I have to go further downstream? Planning a Mulla bash tonight around the Causeway & want to know if I can just get my bait there.

Sitting in a pizza shop last night reading the local rag and just about choked to death on a slice of pizza seeing this article!!!!! Googled it and found it here....

Bring on climate change!!!
