Apart from Jamie's report regarding the number of sharks at the Hillary's aggregation, has anyone else started there Samson jigging campaign for the 2007/2008 season?

hey guys i'm thinking of buying a spinning reel and rod, enough strength for deep sea and also flexible enough for landbased fishing?? 100-150 my budget it not alot but yeah...if it's worth the money i may consider over my budget...and just 1 more thing just wondering if i have an overhead rod can i use spinning on it too?

I'm planning to go to the Mackerel Islands next year with others from Compleat Angler Rockingham.

My usual fishing buddy is unable to make it so I thought I would open it up to you guys to see if there is anyone interested in coming along.

I have tentatively booked for 3 people and a boat mooring.

There is also the possiblity of going to Exmouth and other places on the way up.

If you are interested or wanna have a chat to get some more details send me a private msg.

I have heard there is a guy in perth somewhere that does custom air brush paintings on your rod for a good price. has anyone else heard of this? I want to get some images done on some trolling rods. Any info would be sweet. Cheers Chris.

right, this is a complimentary thread to the 17th of Nov fishing trip north....

Just discussing and trying to figure out a good location to do an overnighter fish....

between say, Lancelin and Geraldton...

We want to nail some big tailor if possible and all the other usual suspects either from groyne, jetty, rock or beach

We were thinking jurien but possibly want to get a better spot than that...

Anyone know some good locations to maybe try out as far as geraldton? (maybe a tiny bit further north)

After seeing all the great fishing pics on the site over the past few days I just have to go wet a line. I am going to try some plastics and bait casting at Hillarys North Wall. Checked out the Google satellite pics today and there appears to be a bit of a reef between the disabled platform and the lighthouse. I will give that a crack. Colin Hay

Okay, the argument has gone on for a while now ie 4 stroke versus 2 stroke and Etec versus the world!

I'm a Suzuki 4 stroke outboard owner and rate my motor, economical, reliable and quiet.

The Etec debate has rattled Yamaha by the looks and they've done their own testing and the write up's called "Yamaha blasts the E-Tec Myth into the weeds".........wasn't a suprise to me as i've always stated the clever marketing sounds just too good!

Interesting read, E-tec marketing people will be working a few extra hours me thinks...hehehe

Guys and Girls,

Whats the best knot and or simpliest knot to use with a 100 lb leader to a bimini twist. Bimni twist main line 50 lb braid?

I currently use the Bristol knot.

Just been down to the Lure in Winton Rd Joondalup, and they are closing down, with all stock discounted by 40%. So if you are keen for a bargain, head down there. The proprietor is retiring and going fishing. Good on him!

Hey, thought id start a new thread, not taking any glory away from Spess' trip but due to my really wanting to go and the unfortunate circumstances of me not being able to make it on the 10th, id already arranged to get away for the 17th soooooo.... was wondering, who wants to mission up for some landbased fishing on the 17th? (the following saturday)

I know Tyson and Hoju are keen so we have 3 to start, but any interest in going again by any of the other lads would be great! And if for some reason, the 10th gets postponed for a week, we will amalgamate with the crew from the 10th.

But yeah, same deal as the 10th, looking for 4x4's but not essential... if we dont find any, we can mission up to jurien or a touch further depending on ideas etc?

Anyone keen that wants to go again a week after the 10th or anyone that cant make it on the 10th wanna come with?

Got hold of some plastic powder from a friend who works at a technical school. They use it to coat the handles of garden tools.

Thought I would test it on a few snapper leads.  Tried one....and couldn't stop myself 

Pity, only had yellow though.




Heat the sinker, dip and roll.  Too easy.  Produces about a 2mm thick coating.




Cheers Pete

ps Trying to find out where you can get the powder from.  This lot has been in the cupboard for over ten years.

For the last few years i have said i would pull my finger out and try to target the swan river bull shark.

Never got around to it but this  summer i home to hae landed one.

The good thing is that if you are targeting bull shark , you could get lucky and hook a mulla :)

So far im thinking fishing  between burswood and redcliff usin whole mullet rigged with snelled wire with 2 decent hooks to a running spoon sinker.

Rod is a custom 1 piece 8 wrapp kilwell blank and reel wil be a penn 950ss with 50pound

I do know that the depths of freshwater bay boatshed have seen a boy get killed by shark in 1922


Anyone have any tips on how and where to get em?

It has just been reported that 70 metres of the Carnarvon jetty has had to be cut off by fire fighters after a large fire broke out. Not sure which sections have been affected
Regards Colin Hay

me and a mate were having a discussion today about fishing with braid or mono when bottom bouncing. I fish with braid but he fishes with mono just wondering what everyone else uses cause he swears by mono. we both use the same reels tekota 800's, so just like to get other opions on what other people use (purely bottom bouncing)  

Anyone watch round 1? Seems like a pretty cool show. Thanks Hoju for telling me to turn it to 10 straight away...

Was pretty fun to watch :D

hey...just to let u guys know that my house has experience hail a few minutes ago...anyone else felt it?o yea..and i heard the mulla's are starting their season..but when is it???thanks

Anybody on here going to fish the Mandurah Classic on the 17th November?

any one hear of tailor getting caught in the river?

Any body fish this wreck? If so whats it like?

Any one seen them yet? well priced with silicones and all fuji components, think they are going to retail for around the $350 mark, not bad for a GT popping rod
anyone got any opinions on them?
