just a few piks from a recent outing in the swan

Gang,

Looking at getting a pot for crays this year and running the risk of it getting knocked off for a few tasty entrees. However, every time I've dived and seen a pot, they look pretty darn heavy once they have soaked. How do you guys pull them? Winch or muscle?

Cheers

Just wondering if anyone has used the vfox rods and what they think.

G'Day, was in the shop today and came across these Kor Gladiator, Snake Skin Sports rods. They seem pretty good and are only $150 for a 7' 6-10kg spin. Anybody heard anything about these or own one??

Cheers

Craig

whats some tips on jigging because im not to flash at jigging and its annoying im not getting any fish at all!! any tips on good jigs and colours?

im going squiding this weekend wats some good tips? i wanna beat my dad (fisho ron)

just wonderinif anyone has been getting any crabs lately and are they blues or just females

Just got a stradic 4000fi and was looking at using it for demersal jigging. What are your thoughts on using it, too small? I normally only jig as deep as 50m.  Also i have some braid to spool it with but with what 15, 20 or 30lb? I was reading up it can push out upto 9kg drag. Is that false info as most brands tell a few porkys with there max drag power.  Any of you already use it or shall i use it for something else?

Currently using a pfleuger torsion but seems a lil heavy on the pe2 rod, Advice from the jiggers will be a huge help.

Cheers

I have just looked through the lasted images and there is some great pics of some awsome fish caught over the last month which ones will make it into this months Photo of the Month Comp ? My vote will be for ?

New shirts avaible now !

Hi Guys, 

I have a rest day tomorrow after 3 weeks of overtime and am looking to get out in my boat for a fish - where do I go with this 20knot SE that seabreeze is predicting, and what can I fish for in the demersal ban, ant good spots up for grabs?

Dave

Thinking of goin fishing there tomorrow and just wondering what the beach is like to drive on there and what the track is like?

Thanks 

I have always just used my old sports shoes when fishing but im thinking about investing in a dedicated pair of rock and reef fishing shoes.
I have heard/read good things about rockhoppers, anyone got a pair or know of any other good shoes for this purpose?

thanks

Hiyas,

I was lucky enough to get a ride up to Jurien With Peter and Rhyss from the PGFC this morning. We met Whitey from Jurien Seasports on his boat, his deckie Matt, Jurien local and PGFC member Brad and Fisheries officer Adam there as well.

There was little swell but more wind, the conditions were fine in the 56' westcoaster, but probably would've been pretty ordinary on a trailer boat. We started at the Southern end of the strip, Launching Seasport, working up to the PGFC FAD and then finally the RED FM FAD in the North. We did a little bit of trolling in between the launches, with just one solid BZZZZT, probably a very lucky Striped or Yellowfin Tuna.

The coordinates ala iPhone;

Seasports: 30° 26.435 S 114° 37.748 E
PGFC:       30° 20.379 S  114° 36.075 E
RED FM:    30° 13.374 S 114° 34.028 E

The coordinates from chart;

Seasports: 30° 26.28 S 114° 37.66 E
PGFC:       30° 20.182 S  114° 36.14 E
RED FM:    30° 13.177 S 114° 33.91 E

Has anyone seen the clip of the seabreacher? Don't know how to paste the link but just google seabreacher. reminds me of something out of a Batman movie lol

Manged a 4 days trip down south to Albany from this Thursday. Never fishing there before.

I have two surf rods (12 feet & 10 feet). Looking for some good spots for surf fishing or rock fishing...try to catch some 40cm+ fish...

Anyone have been fishing there recently or recident there could give me any advise ??

• any good spots?? for what kind of fish??
• what bait should i use??

Thanks in advance for any useful information.

Cheers....

G-day all

Just purchased a saragosa 18000 spooled with 80lb braid and now im just looking for a rod to suit. Ive got a t-curve 200 and have been really impressed with that, anyone used or own a 400 and what did they think of them?

Any suggestions would be great

Cheers Connors

with alll the jokes on egi who would be keen for a friendly comp? i dunno say beleivers vs non beleivers pull together a location that suits all aswell as a day and go from ther with a couple of brews after so as every one can have a chat? could even throw in a little wager for those who are game enough? boat only would be my only thought as many of us can take some deckies

Hi guys and gals, I'm heading over to Rotto in a couple of weeks and need some advice on fishing Rotto landbased.

Just reading through a few posts and was after any more info. (Not a whole lot of info on here for Rotto LB)

I will be just taking over a little Okuma flick rod and reel combo (8lb I think) and just some sp's, chromies and poppers. After maybe some tailor spots and the like.

Any thoughts on whether it is better to use bait or artificial?

Best spots to try?

Species to target?

Cheers

Pezdog

hey guys,

by doing a bit of research is seems like u guys use seasport charters for offshore fishing at Jurian Bay,  just wondering if you know wat it would be like through december after the demersal ban finishes?

thanks

Hi,

I am the mother of a little boy, 9 years old, and next week we will travel to your fantastic country and visit the west coast during 3 weeks. My son, Kenzo, is really passionate about fishing. Here in Switzerland he spends most of the summer fishing on the lake and can't wait to fish in the sea while we are in Austalia. Would you be kind enough to answer a few questions:

Does he need to take his equipment with or can he rent it on the coast?

Will be travelling from Perth to Monkey Mia. Are there any club, schools or private people with whom he could fish? If yes do you have a list of addresses and phone numbers?

Can a 9 year old child fish without permit from the coast? (without enterring into the sea). And on a boat?

Thank you very much for your help,

Best regards,

Marielle

Photo of ron with the bitie from the other side :) awsome stuff on gear like that.

whens the next shark bash i want to come wet a line?

Hi there,

long time watcher, 1st time poster !!!!

any way, is there any one that knows of a free web site where you can see Sea water temp charts, and you can zoom in to a specific area ?

i have found quite a few but there are of the whole west coast, so not really what im looking for ???

Any advice would be appreciated

cheers Ric

well,

they said it could not be done, boat a shark from the barges!!!

heres proof it can be done!!

headed out with a couple of mates on my boat, crushed and hoookt on the crusher for another day of punishment?

hit the south barge first up with a nice amber taken on a live squid

(the guy with the beard is the $100 bet man and he also payed up, for those who know) but he did  land the first fish for the day.

moved on to checkout the other wrecks with many hookups and all busted off, so it was decided to try to get the sharks instead, but didnt plan on using my new xzoga and daiwa exerler.

got him to the boat twice and he wasnt ready just yet, on the third time we had him!! just as i was going to cut the line to release he went on another run and broke my reel, the drag whashers were shot by now anyway so we had to release him this time.

would of been all of 2.5mtrs.

yes i am having a rest in the pic, it was hard work.

after that it was time to move on to some shallow ground for sambos and all we got was small pinkys, 6 in the end as well as a sgt baker and a sea sweap.

good to meet daz out there as well, sorry daz not much time for talking with the shark on.. how did you end up for the day?

also good to meet marko,(hoookt) top guy and welcome with me anytime mate.

here are a few pics from today.
