I've been thinking about big noahs off Perth - i read in a post the other day that some guys who capsized and paddled into shore were looked at by a white off City Beach.

Has anyone ever had a hooked fish taken by a noah in metro waters, two rocks, mandurah, etc? Not just by big ones like whites, but by any sharks at all?
Or ever heard of it?
What about spearos - anyone ever heard of sharks coming round to speared fish?

Maybe I'd rather not know... ;o)

hi m8 have u made it back ,good to see

Saturday: E/SE winds 18/23 knots tending S/SE 18/23 knots in the afternoon. Seas 1.0m to 1.5m. Swell to 3.0m.

Sunday: E/SE winds 20/30 knots tending S/SE 20/30 knots in the afternoon.

A blowy forecast for the weekend will make it difficult to get offshore, unless the weatherman has got it wrong again. The river is a good option at the moment, heard of many reports that theres a good run of tailor in there, with some decent fish amongst them. Would love to see a few photos to confirm the reports.

Hope you all have a good weekend and the weather conditions are more favourable for the part of the world that you are in.

Cheers,
Adam

any one know the prices 4 these maps?

or can you copy em?

oops who said copy i mean borrow!

Used it for the first time on the weekend chucking poppers. A great reel for casting, however after a few hours my only issue is with the handle. My question is... is there an upgrade handle available similiar to saltist 4500 saltiga reels????

Just a question on what people think is the best way to catch pinkies and dhuies in water up to 60m.

I am back off to Steep Point in 5 weeks time. I would like to take up some fresh gardies as the shop bought ones are quite often expensive and a bit soft. Does anyone know a good spot to chase gardies at the moment??? Preferably NOR and off the land.

can anyone tell me if there is a diffrence between the gold spool back one.

forks are heading overseas and i gunna get them to get me one.

but i want the gold spool!! :)

Saturday: E'ly winds 10/15 knots shifting S/SW 10/15 knots late morning, increasing to 15/23 knots during the afternoon.

Well I'm sorry to say it guys but I think tomorrow is going to be another blow out. I am cancelling Saturday's night fishing as I think safety is paramount and after numerous marine fatalities in the past month or two I don't think it is worth taking risks over. I would still love to meet up with you guys that help make the site what it is, I will try an organise a pub meet for a few weeks time.

Cheers,
Adam

Well it will be underway in about two hours. The cricket trip / fishwrecked bash is upon us from the boys in South Hedland. It is off to a local island where mudcrabs, dewies, crays, bluebone, trout and hopefully a barra will not survive the weekend.
Will post up many photos on Sunday arvo or Monday for the first Port Hedland/ Fishwrecked gathering. We just thought the northerners should get in on the action.

Spooled up..........

i am looking at this reel to buy and i was wondering if anyone knew if it had any bad fetures.

cheers boys

Anyone know if there are any decent overhead lefthand retrieve 15Kg overheads available for trolling bottom fishing.Or if any in this range can be converted
Not interested in level wind models

Hi guys
I'm new to this site going to fish Gracetown on weekend anyone fished their before taking two boats 5.8m and 5.3m any tips would be great.

The Mindarie Night fishing invitational has been put back until the 28th of October.

The conditions are very hard to determine at the moment as it could go either way. I have just left Observation city and its blowing about 15 knots to the north west with solid whitecaps starting to form. I watched a few boats moving about and they were taking a fair bit of spray and get lurched about the place a bit.

I am thinking for the safety of all involved that tonight isn't the best choice, even though some may wish to brave the conditions, most that I have spoken to have decided to give it a miss until next week where things may improve.

Cheers,
Adam

Just a reminder that the fishwrecked night fishing invitational is this Saturday the 21st of October, Mindarie Boat Ramp at 3pm.

The plan is to meet in the upper car park a little before 3 to put faces to names. I know a few of you are planning to head out a little earlier to do some exploration, that's all good. The aim is to back at Mindarie Ramp by 10.30pm, with 11pm being the latest.

The weather conditions are the only thing which may cause the night to be delayed until Saturday the 28th. Seabreeze seems to say that it is going to be a good night and BOM is still changing as we speak.

Tomorrow afternoon should give us a good indication of what the conditions are going to be like and if it is a goer. Here's praying to the weatherman that he gives us something to work with.

Cheers,
Adam

Hi guys,

Had an idea for a thread. Just wondering on where your favourite fishing locations/town/areas are and what you caught there that made it so memorable or keeps you returning. You don't have to put up all 10 if you don't have 10, but I'd love to hear about the places in Western Australia that make the fishing special for you.

Cheers,
Adam

I'll put mine up soon. :)

does any one know if the vhf doesnt need a licence any more ,the prices have droped dramatically,was talking to allboat today but he wasnt a 100percent certain. i am looking at a hand held model due to the others ive had not handling water to well.dash mounted doesnt work for me as the boat sits uncovered. and all i have had is trouble.also im keen on the hand held but concerd about battery life.can any one shed some light?

Can anyone tell me the name of a good charter out Mindarie or Hillarys that does night trips.

Cheers Shag

If the weather is no good sat night anyone keen on going out jigging sambos on sunday. Only if the weather is no good.

Am new to this forum and fishing in WA in general but hope the veterans here can point me in the right direction.

As the title says, went up to Lancelin with a couple of friends for night fishing and almost got spooled by an unseen monster until the braid broke loose. Bait used was half a squid, unweighted and left to drift with the current from the northern end of the jetty.

The thing just took off and 20lb braid peeled quickly from the spool initially on light drag at a fairly constant speed to the north at first and as the drag was cranked up to almost max (abt 8kgs of drag), it headed straight west taking more line from the spool with no hint of slowing down. It did stop for about 5 secs and went off again when we tried to take some line back but looking at the way we were loosing line, we maxed out the drag and that's how we lost the fish.

The resident Stingray maybe? What do you guys reckon?? Tackle was a 10 kilo spin outfit loaded with 20lb Braid.

Cheers!

Gday all,

Can anyone out there confirm a little rumour I heard that Sailfish are thick in Exmouth Gulf towards November...? My old man is catching barra at the moment at Borroloola, making his way back to Perth soon...I want to get him into a sail-from-a-tinny!
How was that 42kg spaniard they got up there lately? that was monstrous...

Cheers all! enjoy the spring!

Started out to be a prick of a day to be in a small boat, after gettin fairly drenched for a good half hour while tryin to find some ground we headed back a bit closer in and found a nice lump behind out from hillaries, behind little island a few clicks.

Anchored up, burley burley burley and co-fisher caught a massive snook around 90cm on a softie. Left a few floaters out while jarrad persisted with his softie on his little light bcaster and he managed a few scorpian cod and gurnad but we didnt see much action for about an hour when one of my floaters went off. Landed a nice bonito, shortly after mate got a big KG around 53cm followed by my rod going off with a nice dhuhie, after that we also landed a nice pinky i got another KG around the same size on my light tackle too. That was all in out an hour and it quietend down a bit so i grabbed the baitcaster with the softie and dropped down and hook what i think was a sambo, was playin it for about 5 minutes before it broke off the 20lb leader. Was a first for me to hook one inshore on a softie and was great fun while it lasted.

overall turned out to be a pretty good day weather and fishing wise and we were home by 10.30am!

Can anybody give me some advice about 4 stroke Outboards? Is it OK to lay a 4 stroke on its side when travelling? The motor in question is a Honda 15hp. Will the motor be damaged in anyway,leak sump oil or whatever,could you help me out? Any info appreciated, THANKS.

Did anyone catch these fishing shows today? Personally I'm starting to think a little less of Lee and Paul's antics when out on the water. The ET episode was absolutely unbelievable thou and landing barra like that in those numbers is one red letter day, was magical to watch! Hope you guys saw the ET show, was top viewing.

I heard on the news that they are thinking of making wearing lifejackets compulsory when boating due to the recent fatalities. What is your opinion and do you think the RST (rec skippers ticket) will resolve these issues?

Please keep this discussion constructive as it could serve to be important in the future.

Cheers,
Adam

Picked up my custom heavy popper stick from Bluewater Morley today.

Rohan Smith put together a very schmick Calstar 700H for me, featuring all fuji components with blue and silver metallic binding. Look forward to putting some serious bends in it early January next year (Exmouth).

If your looking to get a custom rod done, Rohan's workmanship and rod building knowledge is top shelf.
