Anyone know what Jetty in Rottnest collapsed. Shame about the kids that got hurt. Only a matter of time before the same thing happens down here at canal rocks with the finger Jetty in tatters still!

 Is any body getting crays in close, i noticed a few pots on the inside of the 3 mile.sister in law is coming over in 2 weeks snd i wouldn't  mind getting a few.

 After some suggestions fellars , want to get my kids a rod reel combo  each for chasing dermersals,  their  aged around 10 so dont want anything  to heavy or expensive  but something  that can handle  a decent  fish any ideas ?? 

 Crew I want to send the old man some lures but as i've been out of the salmon chasing game i'm out of touch with what is the best casting lures out there...

I must stress, looks come a big second to casting distance...

Where he fishes you need to be able to punch them out there to a small area often into a head wind otherwise you come up short and wont catch a thing...

Any help as always is appreciated....

 Hey All

Finally the new motor is all rigged up and getting picked up this week, taking it for its 1st sea trail on Friday, and hopefully a spot of fishing.

seeing as the ban is on what are some other things to target for a good day on the water out from rockingham 

Thanks 

 Hey guys picked up an unlicensed trailer a while back and I've got it booked in for 3 tomorrow for an inspection to get it licensed and I was wondering how you have to legally fix your trailer light cables down the frame and how you have to store any unused cable. The eccess cable has just got a few wraps around the base of the winch pole and taped up. Is this going to be an issue?? Any advice will be appreciated as I'd like to give it the best chance of passing first go. Cheers 

We were thinking of heading to Dunsbourgh on the weekend to chase King  George and squid....anyone know any spots down that way that would be worth a look ..we have a 4.2 m tinnie... cheers

 I currently have an old Navman and looking to upgrade if i can get a simple to use well priced unit.

Any help appreciated .

 Does anyone know if the pro ocky bloke still lives on Safety bay road near June road?

 Hello folks, just wondering if anyone has looked over the barges in the last two weeks. I have an old school friend visiting and thought I might try getting him on a few Sambos.

Are Sambos on the barges yet?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi All,
part of the fun of fishing is getting off the hwy, and either diving snorkeling or fishing for super fresh seafood. Personally for me its the south coast of WA. I love to cook a bit of whatever I catch on a fire right there in on the rocks or beach for breakfast lunch or dinner.

I would love to add more elements of surrounding bush tucker to the menu. A bit of salt bush, or pigface.

not looking for anything that requires much prep - just forage, peel/cut/squeeze and eat / cook.

I can say that fresh abalone, fried with a bit of salt bush is a great flavor enhancement.

Do other have ideas for me?
Is there a decent book out there about it? I cant find one.

What do others do??

look forward to the discussion

I am moving back to karratha at the end of the year i have a 12 foot tinny with a 20hp which i may keep for the creeks, but i am looking for a boat that can get me to some good fishing grounds, islands and the likes. I have jumped from ali to poly to fiberglass and now im just confused. So i figured put it to the world and seek some advice.i have a 20k budget. Let me know what you think! 

 took down the tailor I got the other arv 

too set the big rods ! Got down round 8pm 

only to slowly watch a front move in and 

drench me.. lucky I had a suspicion and was 

deck in wet gear! Dropped a good fish then 

next hook up I pinned it ! Went 89cm ! In

brine today of brown sugar and sea salt! 

Turned out fab ! Cheers fellas pirate! 

 Found this the other day and couldn't help but piss myself laughing at the shit they were saying. Would be sick to see in the flesh!

I have a few stone chips/ minor scratches as well as some wear marks/ indents where from the keel rollers (they have developed over time through travel/ pressure on the same spot when its on the trailer) on the hull of my boat that Id like to fix

Ive been doing some reading on whats the best stuff to use- flowcoat or a gelcoat repair filler and Im getting mixed info that I was hoping someone could help clear up through actual experience with them:

- Gelcoat repair filler: I got recommended a product called Septone Gelcoat repair filler, so ordered some of that. It appears easier to use that flowcoat as it sticky/ more workable- less liquidy than flowcoat When it arrived, the label says “not for use below the waterline unless the top is coated with a waterproof finish” although other people have said they use it on the hull with no problems. After some googling, it seems like older tins of this stuff didn’t have this warning on them- so either it’s a result of ass covering by the company or they have recently changed the recipe? Im thinking this might be meant for boats that stay in the water, but it might be OK for trailer boats when they are only in the water for 48 hours or so max etc. it’s a polyester resin Kit as opposed to a epoxy. Google again says that this may end in a tacky surface…

- Flowcoat: Again, google says that flowcoat is basically gelcoat with a wax mix to make it cure better/ non tacky etc. Bit more painful to use on the hull (vertical/ angled surface) from past experience as its runny.

That’s the background of where Im at basically. I guess the questions are:

1) Is the Septone Gelcoat repair filler OK to use on a trailer boat for below the water line?

2) Will the Septone or the flowcoat produce a harder/ better wearing finish (especially on the roller weat patches on the keel?

3) Overall, should I be using flowcoat or the gelcoat filler? (the bits Im repairing aren’t bad damage- stone chips, small scratches and then the roller wear which is a bit bigger)

Im obviously leaning towards the flowcoat option, just wanted some additional info, especially if one will give a harder/ better wearing result that the other, on the above if anyones had any direct experience- the internets throwing up a fair bit of conflicting information

Cheers in advance  

 So we made plans for yesterday (Friday) to punch out wide from Two rocks for a big day of demersal fishing. We studied all the weather sites Meteye, Fishranger, Seabreeze etc etc and they all agreed right up to the last time I checked at 4am. Light winds 8-10 knots max with a drop off in the arvo, that's the only thing they got right.

Ha ha well they all F^%%ked up. Got to the ramp and it was a good 15-20 with a shit chop, still headed out as the swell was pretty well correct at 1m but what a washing machine. Watched some clowns who looked like they'd been on the claret all night head out in a small runnabout ya gotta wonder. 

Anyway one deckie was providing burley and I was a bit green as I wasn't in my usual skippering role and not kept busy. 

But in the end we found some interesting ground before we hit any of Colin's marks and came up trumps with a couple of nice Dhuies amd Blackarse. Undersize Pinkys were thick out there with I reckon about 8 or nine released.

Thanks again for the day Colin, your boat is a weapon and handled the sea beautifully.

 would you go out ?saw a   kayaker  prob.1k.out travelling from port kennedy to safety bay, my thought was  after the misadventure of the last week , hmmmm 

 After seeing that Jazz Charters hooked up to a school of mulloway recently , i was thinking of targeting them after the demersal closure.

Does anyone have any info regarding depths they school up in , are they spawning aggregations  or are they just a bycatch when fishing for dhuies etc.

Cheers Paul

 G'day all. I havent been out in the boat for a while and want to take some friends from Europe out for a whale watch. Are there many around at the moment, particularly NOR?

 Thanks, John. 

Enjoy

 Just checking the closer date on the fisheries web site. Seems the start date is the 16th this year because of the licence free day we had. So this Monday is game on! Is the way you guys read it?.
