well folks with the Sound closed to Snapper fishing from the 1 Oct already and the Dermal Closure a week away, it seems we need to get our options ready for the pelagic season.

Who's got what plans for the next two months???

I for one want to dust off the Sambo gear and get back into the bull-dog-fights,
then I really want to get a mackie or something good on the troll this year.

My brother in-law and sister have been camping at Ningaloo Station for the last 1 1/2 months. About 2 weeks ago their inflatbale tender (equipped with a dinky little outboard) went missing. They hadn't pulled the boat up onto shore far enough and sometime in the night it was swept away. They had a good search for it however had no luck. 

I know this is a long shot but did anyone who was up that way find the dinghy? Happy to give you $100 bux for its return. They loved that little boat, it was part of the family.

Took my girlfreind fishin tonight to the local jetty down freshwater bay hoping for a nice bream.
This is the part where is gets really wierd. As we were walking to the jetty i said for some unknown reason " you should catch a seahorse tonight".
I dont know what gave me the idea. I have fished the swan river for 20+yrs and only caught one while fishing at point walter. It wrapped itself around my hook and i released it unharmed.

Around 8oclock Lisa got snagged then it came free. I was rigging up my rod and as she got the bait out the water i heard her say " oh my god , you said i would catch a sea horse and i have one"!!
What are the bloody chances of that!. I must be psycic!!!!!!!
Lucky this little guy wasnt hooked. He was hangin onto a lump of what looked like sea erchin or river erchin. Took a couple pics and let him go. What a spinout!

looking for reports from this week and last weekend and what to use in these areas lures mulies gangs what size.and what iam likely to catch

Hey guys, I've got a mate going to exmouth at the end of feb and into march
and was wondering what the fishing is like at that time and what sort of fish can
he expect to get into? He'll be doing all sorts of fishing.
He's also wanting to know what the weather is like and water temp for large pelagics
and billfish

I went to an information night at EFYC on Tuesday - the Port Authority guy said dredging is ahead of schedule, and will be finished in 2-3 weeks. So, allowing a week for the crap to clear - we will be able to dive for some prawns before the cray season starts!!!

Woohoo!!!!

Hey Crew,

I have always wanted to fish shark bay, especially turtle bay....I'm gonna try to find a good patch of weather and go for for about 4-5 days....another boat would be good if anyone is interested and I always need crew...

I have room for one or two people tomorrow morning - depending on wind, which looks pretty good presently - intend heading out well beyond GI into 40-50 metres

As it is school holidays am prepared to take father and son as boat plenty big enough - please PM soonest  

Hi all,

Just a question on what reel you guys use when you jig/plastic for dhuies. I currently use a pfleuger supreme xt 9040 which is very very light but a drag of about 5kg. I feel it may be a little on the small  side especially if i hooked up to a descent sambo so i may look for something new. Wouldnt have a huge budget but just wondering what you all use and if you think what im using is fine.

Thanks for all the help

hi peoples

just wondering what your p/b is, for differant speices?

size or weight?

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if there are any crabs around in the swan at the moment, its kids trip in the boat Saturday and i'd like to take them crabbiing in the Swan , maybre around mosman? also while i'm consulting the great fishwrecked oracle of knowledge are there any tailor around yet as last year we filled in time waiting to pull the nets by trolling with twisties for tailor and the kids had a ball!  cheers .

hey all

Well sambo season is literally around the corner and with this ban coming in I’m sure a lot of you will be looking for other fish to target that will put a decent bend in your rods.

We have just received a great range of smith rods at the best prices in town!!! Smith rods are some of the finest jigging rods on the market today and we have priced them very competitively against other brands of rods to make them just that little bit more affordable. High quality components like fuji silicon carbide guides and fuji honey soft reel seats. Make sure to drop in and check them out

hi, im having trouble catching my first dhufish i might just be unlucky or havent found the right place yet. ive been out a few times in albany and peaceful bay but havent landed any, maybe im not going out deep enough or something im only just learning the boating thing. im looking at going to bremerbay/doubtful island next fishing trip but could change my mind if i get some help or tips on where and when to go thanks

would  like to know your fishing  stories what baits lures you used .

would like to hear  from landbased rock 4wd beach  fishing and also from those who used a dinghy

in this area and what deapth you where at .

and what you caught

 and what time of the year.

Does anyone know any details of the rescue off Exmouth last nite. I heard a boat hit a whale & the 3 or 4 occupants were rescued by a ship 4 hours later. Can anyone throw some more light onto it.  Cheers  Rob

Hi All.

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help me out? I'm wanting to go fishing in my boat around Doubtful Island in Bremer Bay, im not too familiar with the area. Can anyone help me out with some co ordinates? Anything would be appretiated.

Cheers.

This weekend was set aside for a trip to the S-Bend. Something I do as often as I can afford the time and money as this is prime country and somewhere I have frequented for 40 years or so as a GSHS student initially and then as a suburban "bogan" in the last few years.

I travelled alone (Chockie my dog came of course). On the way up I decided to try out the new Indean Ocean Drive. It was an exceptional experience. The road is great and not much left to be done up at the Cervantes end. Bitumen roads into Wedge Island and Grey. The scenery on that route is just fantasic and in some instances you are greated with gorgeous sea views. This is a potential road kill route so I would not really look forward to an night drive. My car doesn't like too much blood and my bull bar would make some pretty sad cases of the local wildlife.

Conditions up there were tough to say the least. Winds tended SSE in the morning but turned SSW and STRONG early mornings. Much sea grass was around so options were very limited. In some short opprtunities I managed to get line in the water and was well rewarded.

i seen this gps at BCF

does any one have one or used any other similer.

and also  are they any good and what price range you paid.

this one is only $150

Hey all. Bin in europe for 3 months now traveling and meeting my girlfriends family in germany. Has bin a good trip as we pretty much skipped the winter at home and spent alot of time in spain drinking pints of beer for 1 euro on the beach (sorry to rub it in). Home in one week and i cant wait to go fishing!! Ive bin reading every post on the site haha. I loved australia b4 i left but i now love it even more, not that europe isnt nice but we are so lucky to live where we do.

my wife gave me the ok to buy a torarno 4 x 4 1991 model

it was for sale over the road from me for $3750 they said i can have it for $3250 its diesel

we can get the $$ together and ive had it looked at and its in a1 shape

hey all.

going to busso soon and planing on fishing all day to gather bait and have fun. then at night using the fresh bait and the scalies i caught yesturday and fish into the night for bigger fish and tailor.

the bait fish that im planning on targeting are garfish and whiting. then use them on tailor.

my question is are there many tailor running? and if i start a burley trail into the nigh which species am i likely to catch??

cheers danno
