Hi fishos,

I am new to FishWrecked and realize I should have become a member years ago.

I am chasing a bit of information regarding chasing pelagics offshore from Fraser Island. I have recently upgraded my boat and can now venture over the breaksea spit and would like to chase wahoo (never caught one), sailfish (never caught one) and marlin out there.

If anyone could spare some tips on where to head to find these fish it would be highly appreciated.

Looking for some help from the FW brainstrust.

My cousin has an old GP32 that has a tonne of waypoints on it that he wants to download onto his PC. We've worked out he needs to connect the unit to the PC via a RS-232C cable which I have but mine has a rectangular plug.

Can I cut the RS-232C cable I have and splice it to the NMEA wires coming out of the GP32 power cable to download the waypoints to the PC?

Has anyone had a crack lately for sambos on the wrecks out back of rotto?

 G'day everyone, I'm in the market to buy a overhead reel for jigging/bottom bouncing and trolling. Been looking at the shimano Torium and Daiwa saltist lever drag, does anyone have these reels and could give me feedback as to which might be the better way to go? Or if anyone else has any other recommendations I'd love to hear them. Cheers 

 Morning everyone,

Looking at getting an old Crayboat to fit out and use for trips offshore and extended trips etc.

Came across a jet boat around 10m but I dont know much about maitenance and fuel consumption for these particular styles. Are they any good ? Or are they just good because of being around alot of rope?

If anyone on here can give some insight into them it would be appreciated.

Thanks 

Enjoy

 Seaforce Charters will be operating game fishing charters from exmouth during November and December.

After our recent success in the 2017 Billfish Bonanza, we have decided to stick around in Exmouth and hassle the local billfish a little longer (that and its just blowing a gale in Coral Bay for the next 2 months). We will be running full day dedicated game fishing charters departing the Exmouth marina. We are only offering the boat to be charted by groups. we can cater for groups of 1 right up to 12 but the ideal number is 3-6 for game fishing. We will be exclusively targeting Billfish including Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sailfish and also the prized Broadbill Swordfish (daytime deep drop). We will be in the peak of the Blue Marlin season, and with our larger vessel we will be able to fish out wide for them in most conditions. If the weather is favorable stayiong out overnight chassing Broadbill Swordfish closer to the surface is also an option. We fish 10, 24 and 37kg stand up with top of the range Shimano gear. Our vessel "Valiant" as I have said before is no airconditioned show pony. She is a 50ft Westcoaster ex crayboat. Not your typical game fishing launch but the combination of the large aluminum hull and thumping Detroit diesel engine raises fish like no other. As demonstraited by being the only vessel to consistantly find and tag Marlin during the recent Bonanza.

Prices (<6 pax):

1 Day - $2000

2 Days - $3500

3 Days - $4500

3 days highly recommended, includes overnight chasing Broadbill. Weather pending.

Current available dates:

8th - 10th November

13th - 17th November

20th - 24th November

27th November - 1st December

11th -15th December

18th - 22nd December

We are also take expressions of intrest for 2018 GAMEX and AIBT.

13th - 16th March 2018 AIBT (Australian Internation Billfish Tournament) 3 day competition game fishing, from $5,950

16th - 24th March 2018 GAMEX 6 days and 1 night competion game fishing, from $14,950

 Hey guys,

was wondering if anyone has any knowledge about catching yellowtail kings around lancelin or ledge point, anything would be greatly appreciated, need to get a decent bend in the rod while demersal ban is on!

Cheers, Brodie

P.S This is first time posting, I’m new to the forum 

With some time to spare I'm looking to make up some assist rigs to use with demersal jigs.  Ebay and Ali Express have hooks branded Proberos (some black and others stainless steel).  They look OK but I thought I would ask if anyone has any experience with these.  Any other recommendations welcome. 

Hi,

Not the first time this has been asked, but I haven't been able to find a clear description of where people can safely fish on the actual reef at Trigg.

I've added a couple of images to make it easier. Is it possible to wade out to the area in the first image where the lower red arrow is? I know it doesn't seem likely, but gotta ask to be sure.

How about the hole where the top red arrow points to? Is this normally fished from Trigg Island?

In the second image, I've circled around what I understand to be the "Blue Hole". Am I right about that?

Any tips for my own and others safety (and productive fishing) would be greatly appreciated.

 Hi guys, was wondering if anyone here fishes for tailor in the Swan? heard they come on this time of year, and whereabouts to try for them.

 30% off these reels that are a dream to fish with. All Stellas and Twinpowers, while stocks last, sale ends 8/11/17. Don't miss out!

 was just wondering what lb wire does everyone use for  gas rigs and what brand have you used. iv tried halco but its abit hard to snell 100lb. anyone have any tips to getting over this problem?

 Hey guys anyone been using one yet? Pretty much a Certate HD with hyper gears, an eva knob and a tad bit lighter than a 15 Saltiga. 

Well looking to replace the older Saltiga game 3500.

Any feedback would be helpful guys cheers.

 So iv always wanted to move away from Perth to a fishing town up north. Would be bringing the 4wd/boat and the dog. Would probably have to give up bricklaying and look for another job type as there is probably not enough of that up there ? 

Have any of you lads made the big shift? Where? Any reccomemdations on where/ better work opportunities or any jobs on offer etc? Have mining experience aswell but would be a last option to go back unless smaller stints. Cheers, Marko

 Looking for some charcoal colour marine vinyl to make some trim for my boat. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on where i could buy some?  THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Does Rick Mazza still contribute to this fishing website?

 Has anyone been out in all 3 of these boats? From all the research I've done you can't go wrong with any of them it's just the price you want to pay (Patriot now an obsolete model). Question is deck space, are all comparable? I've only been on the Patriot and from pictures alone it looks to have the smallest deck space compared to the other 2.

chasing some info please peoples. I've picked up a Shimano Tyrnos 8 at a garage sale and can't decide what rod to match it up to. Does anyone here own a Tyrnos 8 and what rod and line size do you run with it?  Troll/bottom? Thanks for your time. 

 Hey All, I have fished for herring for a while using burley i make with Pollard,Burley Oil and water with a few oats but I feel as if my burley hasnt been working that much as i need to bring the herring to me because im fishing from shore im using this rig Burley Cage--60cm of 12lb mono--Mustad bloodworm hook. I Use maggots as bait but im running low at the moment so need to catch me some more herring for the farm. The only times ive been succesful is when im there at the right place and time but still only get 1 or 2. 

Is there any changes i need to make to the rig and burley recipe tips

Thanks Alex

 Clearly fisheries don't want anyone taking abalone nowadays. With the amount of people, like myself, that either work on Saturdays or have kid's sports on Saturday (AM), there wont be many out there taking them. Very unfair, IMO. Maybe they should have a registration (or voucher) type system where you get 4 opportunities to fish during the season and you need to register online before you go out. If you are taking abalone and haven't pre-registered it is deemed "fishing without a licence". Would be fairer on everyone

Had a great night out NOR with a few mates, only a few wobbys at night but about 7.30 am this bad boy grabbed a half a small bonito cast off the beach, that fired up the boys for a few more casts then Stewie got a decent mulloway.
Even got off the beach without getting bogged.
