hi all,

can i ask if anyone wants to please give me starting point for a few days fishing out of denham and monkey mia? i dont need your GPS marks just an idea of where to start looking.

plan is some snapper bashing and if its calm enough heading out to the west end of dirk hartog for some trolling.

 regarding the snapper, am i better startring up near cape peron possibly or would i be better heading towards the channel markers for dirk hartog? turtle bay? we really only have 3 odd days and my track record of late is shithouse, it would be nice to put the boys on a fish or two.  really appreciate any info anyone could pass on.... searching and reading isnt really giving me any confidence, and i think ive pested every tackle store enough

i always have spare deck space for local fishing and diving if anyone is up for a bribe :) 

THANK YOU  in advance

Guy

There is a good boat up for grabs at Ross's auctions this Saturday number 1 on the list. I don't know what make of boat it is but it certainly seems to have all the fruit.

Just a guess but seeing as it's going at the police auction I'm wondering if it is one of the boats that fisheries grabbed last year for interfering with other peoples cray pots.

I think there will be some grating of teeth when it goes under the hammer no matter who used to own it.

 Bloody legend in every way this bloke.

 Hey guys need some help with gummy sharks. Keen to target them instead of pinks and have had a few by catch right in the middle of the sound. What exactly do you look for on the sounder. If ya wanna gimmi ya coords that's totally fine to lol.

 Gday Everyone ,

Heading to Cocos Island in October /November and looking to do some Popping ,Jigging and Sportfishing . Never been but the place looks the goods.

How ever I cant find a charter to go on . I would have thought a place like that would have had a dedicated Fishing Charter ?Anyone know why?

The visitor center siad to get hold of local and head out . 

Has anyone been and had the same thing? Anyone recomend a skipper that knows their stuff over there? I dont mind forking out decent money for a good boat and skipper not just some local looking to make a quick buck. I did that in Fiji and well...

Enjoy some of the great info on here 

Thanks for your input .

Hi guys what would you do with this ol thing?

Spooled with 300m of 50lb and has a fair bit of drag

 Got into some kgs  yesterday , let this weird one go.

Has anyone seen it before? Does it have a bad case of tinnea?

Hi guys

I'm looking at building a couple of slat craypots for upcoming season to see if I can knock them out cheaper than buying.

Has anyone got any diagrams/drawings that I could use??

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

hi all,

the other week I purchased a new Stradic Ci4+ 4000 and put it on a new Oceanfire jigging rod PE1.5-4, took it out on the weekend and wasn't really impressed with the reel I was using maybe a 10oz snapper lead and the reel was struggling to wind it up I had to lift the rod up and wind down to be able to retrieve and when I had a small dhu on it was even worse.

has anyone had experience with bottom bouncing or light jigging with the new Ci4? am I expecting too much from the reel? or do you think it could be a dodgy reel?

thanks in advance.

Hi, I was recently given 8 crab nets and am looking forward to catching some crabs in the river this year, however the nets do not have a steel mesh bottom only net with a ring holding it together, will these be ok or should I buy the ones with the steel mesh? Any input will be apprecieated .

Regards Mal.

Looking bloody good over the next two days, Plan to head out Monday arvo and fish until after dark, leave the boat hooked on and head out early tuesday morning. Looks a cracker....

 I was out behind mewstone this morning, on the way back in to Fremantle I got smashed it was very unpleasant can someone help a rookie out and tell me why, was it the wind heading directly into the swell, I really don't want to get caught in that again. Cheers 

 If you could fish anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Bucket list time.

 Hi Forum

I'm heading off to Kalbarri with a 6.3m boat in October. I have been up there with a tinny before and know about the dangers of the river mouth. I have read some old forums about offshore fishing there and was looking for some more info if possible. Hoping to fish for both demersals and pelagics weather permitting.

 anyone been up to ledge lately that can tell me what the weed on the beach is like and whether I can launch my boat off it yet?

cheers

 Who's it going to be? I'm saying Mayweather in the seventh round.

 Short notice.

Going early from Hillarys (6.30am). I've got bait and berley just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone else wants to come along.

7m diesel inboard. Prefer non smoker.

Probably staying mostly inshore, 3 mile, hale rd etc. doing some testing of a new anchor and berley bucket so a bit of moving around to try stuff.

Message me here before 10pm tonight.

Cheers, Michael.

A mate has got an HDS 12 gen 3 and he bought a B175m 1 Kw chirp transducer. As the HDS only puts out 500 watts should he have just got a 600 watt transducer or will the 1 KW outperform the smaller one ?

 A: What lure is that you hv in your tacklebox mate?

 B: I've got a dickhead lure

 A: You joking

 B: No I'm not.(Opens tacklebox)

 A: WTF!!!!

  27g

 Dives to 3 metres

Anyone? 

Does anyone have any news or updates on our elusive "Travelling Lure".
It's been a while since anything was posted, so I was wondering if there was any news or pics on how much destruction it was doing.

Enjoy

 Anyone know of any travelling fishing FB pages or webb app/pages? about to go on a lap around auzzie and would be real handy to be able to find people that are looking for deckies or people to fish with along the way.

I see a new series of Penn Internationals are about to be released, the new Penn International VI.

They look good however I must confess to being a Shimano fan.  

Was in Southlands yesterday and wandered past the so called fresh fish shop located in the centre. (Doesn't smell too fresh to me!)

Sitting there on ice was, astoundingly, a locally caught Black Bream......all 2.1kg of it ........for sale at $45.  Whilst I am not an ardent bream fisho I was stunned to see such a majestic fish.  I've caught them to a smudge under that size but have always considered the 2kg mark to be truly a specimen and have always carefully returned such fish as prime breeding stock to the waters from which they came and could not believe a pro would have netted and not returned such a fish.

How old would a fish of this size be, over 50 years surely? 

Heading down to Myalup on the weekend for my boy's Karate camp and it would be remiss of me not to pack a rod for a cheeky flick. I'm just going to head down with some poppers and richter plugs and have a flick so can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't a 4WD.

I seem to remember from when we used to stay there as kids that Myalup is pretty beachy so is it worth heading a little bit further south to Binningup?

Cheers JF

 Hi guys

Have fished ammo jetty plenty of times during the day but never at night

Was doing some research and found lots of other old forums on how unsafe it is at night

Between car breakins and holdups at knife point for fishing gear the spot isnt sounding so great for a night fish

Was wondering if anyone has any more recent opinions or experiences in regards to the spots safety and just the general fishing quality

Thanks

 Hi Fellas,

Want to get an ali teetop done for my cc. Anyone bought a premade one off the web and know the cost for a decent sized one for a 6m boat?

Also anyone know the cost / time an ali one would take to get fabbed up and rough cost, without the fabric?

Cheers
