Just curious how people rig bloodworm styled gulp's and SP's?

Im used to using the jerk shads and grubs and shrimps etc but never really known how to actually present a bloodworm styled lure...

Hmm maybe there is a site somewhere that gives the lowdown on rigging and presenting different types of SP's and styles?

Anyone got the low down?

I'm fortunate enough to be headed to Barrow Island to do some work and am wondering if any one has ever been before??? Will definaltely pack a snorkle, if i'm lucky enough to get a couple of hours off, but would obviously love, as a fisherman, to wet a line. Any one been there or know of restrictions???

great day out today on the water as you would all probably know, went out about 12k's picked up about 8 blackass and 2 big harlys about 50cm each. Then burleyed up on the fathom and had a few skippy sniffing around then in the trail a 6 foot mako shark came into it so i threw a bait in and it took it straight away then ran and lept totally out of the water shaking its head and then spooled me. All in all was a good day on the water and i hope everyone else had a good day with the comp

Goodluck to all the fellas out on the comp today!

But for those who are still keen or havnt been out today already, if anyone is up for it, wanna go out tonight for a bit of a night bash, landbased?

Drop us a line if you're keen and we can arrange something... maybe hillarys or mindarie? or a beach somewhere? or further south... doesnt bother me!

does anyone knoes how is the fishing at north mole now?????perhaps some bonito's???? i neva heard any news from there yet.....can anyone gimme some updates....if i could get some info on the site would be great....cause im looking for some larger fish than bream and flatties..

gday fellas, been checking out the site a bit more lately.

Nothing great to report except that Ive just had the mispleasure of getting x2 penn 8500ss, x1 14ft snyderglas fishstriker, x1 JWalker blue tip 14ft, x1 9ft mongrel rod, x1 shimano baitrunner, plus braid stolen from my house this arvo/eve.

WE ARE GREEN TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Merchandise
I will have beanies available for sale at the NOR comp, so come and see me before you launch if you want one. Unfortunately I won't have any shirts except for those who have already ordered them.
Beanies are $15 each.

Launch time
6-30am from Mindarie. Note there are only two launch and two retreive lanes so be patient or get there early to avoid the rush.

Retrieve
All boats need to be back at the ramp by 3-00pm with fish landed. If there is a big line, as long as you have pulled up near the ramp that's fine, however entering the Marina late will mean your catch will not count towards prizes.

Entry Costs
Please can all skippers collect your team's "prize donation" entry fees and place them in an envelope with your names on and hand it to either me or Tim at the launching ramps. It just makes it easier for us to reconcile who has and who hasn't paid.

Points
The points system is the same as the SOR comp, so please download the data sheet so you can keep track of your points. I will put up a fresh link shortly.

Weigh -in (Dhuie / Snapper Frame Donation)
Unfortunately Ian Keay is on leave and Nick is up North with Adam so the fisheries guys won;t be there to dissect your Dhuies and Snapper. I will however have a heap of specimen bags that I will bring along so if you wish to fillet your catch at the ramp (no facilities however) and give me your frames in the specimen bag I can freeze and get Nick to pick them up when he gets back. Otherwise you can take the specimen bag home and make arrangements to get the frames to the guys youreslves.

Photo Comp
We still have the photo comp to award ($100 cash between the two events) so make sure you have your fishwrecked beanie for a chance at the prize. Also I encourage everyone to take as many pics as you can as the site thrives on new content. Remember there is a separate gallery that the comp photo's can be put into so get snapping.

Prizes
The prize pool is still huge, with assorted vouchers, cleaning products, tackle vouchers and cash so everyone is in with a chance of winning something. Crikey if Tony H can win something anyone can.  (Sorry Tony, Pete D made me say that)

Safety
All skippers are reminded that this is an enter at your own risk event and so you decide if you want to launch and where you want to fish and you take all responsibility for your own actions. I strongly insist that everyone logs on with VJ6LQ which is the Ocean Reef Volunteer Sea Rescue station and also logs off when you return, we don;t want anyone left behind out there.

Fish Bag & Size Limits
Everyone must abide by bag and size limits, so if you aren't sure call in to your local tackle shop and make sure you have the latest size guide before the event.

Above all else have a great day on the water and have fun and be safe. We aren't playing for sheep stations so its all about having fun.

Great read your artical in the latest fwa mag there mate pictures looked great with Shamu's huge grin he looked wrapped with his dhuie .well done

hi does any one live in the bunbury region if yes could you share your fave fishing spots in the bunbury region (including bussulton dunsborough yallingup) advice on the area would be greatly appreciated. 


Thanks Ethan

Well my trip to the Burma banks has been changed to the Nicobar and Andamon Islands.Due to the fact that there has been a lot of dynamite being used by the locals so has anyone fished these Islands before going to be targeting sails,black marlin,wahoo,spanyards as well as the local bottom species have been told they even have barramundi there any tips would be great.Will be taking all my own gear as well as a few components that I pick up from from a four day stay in HK after all have to stop in a see the nieces and the sister who is funding the trip.
14 days fishing from a 38 foot powercat but staying on a 90 foot mothership.Will be the fishing trip of a lifetime.I leave December the 15.Taking the camera to get some memorable photo's 99% of the fish will be released but will have to sample a couple of the locals as well.

Any suggestions on terminal and locations would be great if you have known of somone who has fished these locations

So far its two trolling outfits
              two spinning out fits
              two bottom bouncing outfits

Went down to the south mole this afternoon for a squid session caught 4 which were nice sizes the bad part was that when I got home and was cleaning them two of them were females with eggs which I was not too impressed about I know the squid population is not under threat at the moment but the amount of eggs that these two squid had in them would have produced a fair few squid for someone else to catch or to further the population with their breeding.Was wondering if there is anyway to tell have checked on the net for any information but came up with zip anyone know

Time to reregister as there have been a number who have pulled out due to school holidays etc. So please add your teams crew under the appropriate headings

Looks like the weather may finally break on Saturday. Long range forcast is GOOD!!!

Everyone should start to get ready, as it looks like we may finally get it on.

Please register your teams on the thread provided.

I'm staying positive even though its a long way away!!!

Cheers Luke

Had a great time getting bait last night started just fishing the side of some jettys in the sound from the boat at about 4pm burleyed for herring and got plenty. As it started to get dark pulled in a horse of of leatherjacket at 38cm next cast an even bigger on at 45cm. Then dropped a squid jig in ended up with 13 squid in about 30 mins biggest was 1.2kg. Then and even bigger leatherjacket folowed a little squid up and bit onto the back of the squid and took a little chuck out of it. After all that the night fishing was useless didnt even get a bite but after the bait collecting didnt really care.

Btw did anyone do any good last night was pretty good weather for it

Hi All,

Next Wednesday I'm getting dressed up in my scuba gear for my three year old daughter's play group class and I was hoping to get some colour photos of what fish look like under water-trying to make the demo a little interesting and of course keeping 3 year olds entertained is another thing!! I'm hoping to pass them around the group whilst the demonstration is on..

Can anyone direct me to an appropriate site where I maybe able access these images and download them please?

Would be greatly appreciated & thanks in advance,


T.
