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?

 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

Motor ran rough on the weekend and found the fuel fitler full of water, have cleaned all the lines filters etc and replaced the main fuel filter, looking for recommended silver bullet/tablet to get rid of any water in the tank, have 2 x 100 litre tanks almost full and any advice would be appreciated as trying to avoid draining the tanks.

Cheers

Hi,

This new video shows how the offshore wind forecast can be up to twice as strong as it is at the shoreline.  Interesting watch for any fisho and the reason why the checking the forecast at the shore/boat ramp is not a good idea and the reason people get caught out sometimes.   You should be checking the wind forecast offshore where you intend on fishing.

 I have a calcutta 400B that has survived many years, but I think the time has come for it to enter retirement.

I am going to replace this, but need to work out what reel to use. While the calcutta performed well, the slow retrieval speed was a pain in the ass at times, especially when in 40m of water.

What it will be used for:

• 6-10kg braid
• baitcaster (used occasionally to flick lures around)
• jigging (20-50m)
• Ligh bottom bouncing (KGW etc)

It spends most of its time on a demon blood, PE2-4, jig overhead 90-280g.

I know its a big ask, but any recommendation?

 Got another surprise today in 8m of water with a 58cm dhu bang eating my "insurance policy"(octo jig) and two pinks around 80cm while squidding. First time I've chucked the jig out in that depth and won't be the last. How did everyone else do today?

 HI guys, looking for recommendations for a charter out of Jurien Bay or Cervantes. Who's the best up around there?

 Hi Adam 

After numerous emails to sort out my log in problems on my laptop and getting blocked from this site for no aparent reason fuck it I can't be bothered any more  . Using my phone sucks so until you can sort this shit out that's all from me.

cheers Rob

 Have been invited up to Broome in 2 weeks,sounds like tinny or 4 wheel drive to beach planned.Drinking beer and talking shit probably a sure thing but i already excel in these two pastimes,what i am enquiring about is what type of fishing gear to take for fishing from beach or tinny in creeks.Many thanks in advance for any help given.

 Got some water in my sounder the other day and it decided to shit it self so its off for repair but now we are getting some better weather i dont really wanna miss out i was thinking of just using the navionics app on my phone to get me out to a few spots around 3 mile anybody relied purely on this app before of so has it worked ?? 

 hey was just wondering if anyone has had or been in a finn poly boat looking at gettin one for a first boat to get into boating they look like there stable and good for the price thaughts?

Thinking about heading up to Durien Leeman tomorrow night for a Monday fish at Leeman. I know it's as long way but I don't mind a drive for a chance to get some good fish and get away for a mission.

I've looked at the search function on here but there is no recent information. Mostly a couple of years old..

I'm looking for info on the boat ramp. Is it a good one? The search function shows merntions of an upgrade so I'm thinking we shouldf be good to go.

Any other tips or pointers or current info on safe boating in and out and places to start looking for fish would be great. Looks like good weather on the way so not afraid to drive the boat out deep if necessary. I've only ever landed one Dhu on my boat and it wasn't huge. It would be great to get a couple of nice dhues between me and my mate...

I've been putting of paying to update my Navionics+ card and been getting reminders from Navionics but last week they perked my interest with an offer of 50% off. Just got me a new Platinum+ card (Beagle Bay to Cape Freycinet) delivered for $197. Bloody bargain. I'll keep my old card in case I head down to Augusta etc.

I don't know if it will work for anyone else but here's the link in any case and you have to use IE for the discount to work for some reason.

 Gday all,

Was chatting with a mate the other day and we got talking about anodes.......

I had a look at my Trailcraft to see if I could find one and couldn't ,except for the anodes on the outboard.

Am i looking in the wrong place, do they not come standard with anodes, or do the outboard ones coverthe boat?........

Whats everones thoughts on anodes.........I understand what they do , but really dont know much else about them.......

A lesson and advice about them would be appreciated. ......

Cheers

 Hey fellas,

It's been a while since I've been on here since I've been out of perth. I just am hoping for any tiny piece of advice for tomorrow afternoon for I've got a couple of people who are dying to go fishing. I've checked all the usual condition indicators but it's been a while since I've fished on-shore in Perth and just want to catch them something. Just trying to toss up a place that would be more protected or at least producing - even a herring they'd be stoked! Realise it's going to be Friday arvo so most places are going to be crowded and we wouldn't get there until about 4.30. Am based between Freo and City Beach but any advice would really be appricaited guys, these guys just want to experience that feeling of catching their first fish, and I'm sure we can all relate to that! So not expecting secret spots or anything silly, just any reccomendations would be great.

All the best fellas!

Matt

Hey just wondering if anyone knows anything about fishing Busselton jetty? Any tips?

Fathers Day Sale

In store only. While stocks last . Sale starts 18/08/2017 & ends

With the resent increase of customers wanting to target Swordfish and more Deep Drop anglers preferring mini bent butt rods we have made our own "Custom Rod" made right here in Perth.

Shop owner Ryan Thipthorp has spent some time with our rod builder (one of the best around) and after looking at several other rods on the market around Australia we have come up with a " Custom Deep Drop Swordy Special " Rod.

This is a 24-37kg rod (very light in the hand) that can be used for Deep Drop, chasing Swordys and even Gamefishing. The rod suits all reels including Electric, Tiagra's and Talica's etc

G'day,heading up to Shark Bay mid September with my teenage kids ,have got a 12ft tinny we are taking ,was just looking for some advice on where to camp ,the kids love fishing ,especially squiding ,so was wondering if there was one camp  that would get us amongst them ,and was used friendly ,any advice would be much appreciated cheers 

 Thinking of a Snap bash this evening,

Not very organised so was wondering what crew use as a quick Snap Snap berley brew....

Obviously Mulies mashed is a goto but i'll need a fair bit and dont need to be spending $50 to throw it over the side.....

Boon

 looks doable 

Andys trailer finnished . Pain in ass. Weeks of work. Got old centre beam and hanger re dipped. Everything else new. Just side rockers to go on. Past pits no probs. boat should come up straight no mater what conditions.

 Went out from Point Samson this morning and came up the goods. Got 2 reds on jig, a first for my boat. Amanda scored a trout first drop, I got one not long after :)
