Hey guys just asking about up north in the area from gerelton to coral bay what are good places for land base fishing and out on a boat

 Dumb question my boat has a toilet in the cab I didn't purchase the boat new so no instructions on using the toilet.It is a electric toilet with a open and close valve either side so I am assuming one is water in and the other is out taking girls out on the river tomorrow old girls that is and we know what there like with going to the dunny any info would be great 

 Great morning to be on the reef, 40km southerly. 

Took the little one out for a flick in mandurah today with llittle success. Really struggling to find the fish and the little miss is getting a bit bored and frustrated haha. Tried Coodanup and South Yunderup but seem to be well out of my depth so any help would be appreciated. Trying topwater scumdogs and varying the retirieve but want to get amongst them to get the little one hooked. 

 Not an ideal pic but might give someone a rough idea about it.

 In close,shallow this morning- not the normal size I get in close.

The little reel was working hard-great fun on light gear.

Have I heard right, ch 7news reporting that a man was stung by a stone fish at a local beach. I can’t say that I have heard of this before, and with a report that a spango has been caught locally who knows what is going to turn up next.

Queenies in the Canning perhaps lol 

 I'd like to get a few opinions on the mono line brands avalible out there... eg memory, toughness ect.... before I buy.. as I've wasted money on rubbish line in the past.

 Hi all, I have an unusual request. I have a few marks up in Bunbury which have produced good fish for me and was wondering if someone would like to swap good fishing producing co-ordinates in geographe bay Busso,  as I don’t head that way anymore. Unusual I know but if ur genuine flick me a message to discuss... cheers 

 Just one of the reason's why I sold the Jetski...Can take the grandkids fishing now!

Tailor this morning from inshore reefs.

I think it will take a long long time for the fishing to recover from the fish kills that has occurred over there poor buggers. What is real bad is that there may not be a quick cure for the problem and it could get worse before it gets better. From what I have read murry cod are a slow growing species and the likely hood of the species recovering this decade is very slim indeed 

Looking for help choosing a long cast reel to load with 30 pound mono for casting big baits around shallow reef. Anyone had experience with either the Shimano big baitrunner long cast, Shimano Ultegra surf reel or penn 7500 long cast? The reel will cop a bit of boat spray so good waterproof seal is important.

thanks in advance 

 G'day all. I'm planning a Montes trip in May and while I don't plan to make it a freezer filling excercise I will bring some fish back. Sorry, PLAN to bring some fish back. My take on the rules is that fillets need to have skin left on for both the trip back to shore and the drive home. (I can't say I've ever worried about the latter to be honest; I've been more concerned with  labelling stuff properly). I can't see that leaving the skin on is going to help the quality of the fish, but rules is rules I guess. I wasn't going to freeze the fillets, just get 'em close to frozen and process them at home in vacuum bags etc. Any opinions on the best way to go about it. We'll have one Engel on board running off a big deep cycle battery charged when the engine is running. I'd appreciate any opinions on the best way to go about it.                                                                                       Thanks, John

 rather than driving down to Mandurah ?

Want to take a mates kids out for both a squid session and drop some crab nets and think it might give me an alternate location to try 

 Had to work hard this morning.still shell shocked. Nearly hit a yacht near the narrows, no nav lights on.photo is my share.

So used to go marroning with my Father and Grandfather as a kid on the Australia Day Weekend. So now I have a young fella of my own I decided that the tradition had to continue.

 Awesome weekend except was disappointing to see people using kayaks to pull their nets and some using box traps.

No phone reception so no chance to let fisheries know unfortunately.

Who else has an Australia  Day tradition?

 took the boys for a crab this morning got a feed of some nice sized ones 

 I'm thinking of heading to the Montes in May and would like to launch at Fortescue river. I'm a bit concerned about the references to second vehicles being needed for recovery as we will probably going solo (vehicle is a diesel Pajero). I'd appreciate comment on this issue based on personal experience or observation. In addition, what is the situation launching further north at Gnoorea as an alternative? We'll be taking a 21 foot Penguin with a extra fuel, water and other supplies, so weight will be a bit of an issue, particularly with launching. Thanks, John

Hi People,

We are heading to Dongara next week for our first fishing trip.  We have a small boat, can anyone provide some tips or advise please?

.armor plateing all over it. Cheers

 Late start this morning with a sleep in 

and can verify that trying too renew a 

bfl is quite difficult at the moment.. 

after hearing everyone else's hassles.

wasnt surprised.. snook horny as we 

caught on metals divers and my mate 

even tossed out a new wax wing which 

was nailed rather quick .. good sizes 

biggest 750mm .. cracker little sesh 

dragging jewelery ! Cheers pirate 

Ive been flicking an ecogear ZX lure off the beach in Mandurah. Nice little lure to use, doesnt twist the line when cast and casts a good distance on light tackle.

Lots of fun, walking along the beach, just with the rod and a shoulder bag, flicking the lure out every 20 mtrs or so 

Ive caught a few good size yellow fin whiting. Hoping for a flathead but no luck with them yet. 

So the ZX is becomming my favorite lure . Just wondering if others have used the ZX and have a recommendtion for colours,

or does it not make much difference?  The one i have is all silver .  

 After abit of help concerning depth offset on the sonar.

Wow this seems pretty major. Could ruin your summer fishing season for sure

 Planning a trip to steep point in march and as part of the compulsory beers in the shed planning session one of the lads suggested the use of a down rigger and  our normal laser pros to get extra depth has any one every tried this with any success

Hi all,

Just after a tip for the best place to go scooping in Mandurah for some crabs? 

 It was on fire until a couple of shags stole some bait, but we're  happy.

Enjoy
