some shallow divers . Two good ones close

to the 1m mark . Then whacked a couple more 

and called it . Good session back in at 8.30am

hopfully next weekend I'll be chucking a few

in the smoker . Cheers pirate .

 Thinking about pulling a few lures around rotto, im thinking parker point and west end on the weekend has anybody had any luck around those areas? or any luck out of any of the other northern boat ramps?  cheers dave

 Am at Esky at the moment and are chasing info regarding fishing inside at Tandabiddi  inside the reef. What's it like and which way to go?

Cheers

 Just wondering what peoples go to lures are for general fishing mixed bag stuff? I'll throw a couple out there, sorry admin not sure if brand names are allowed. 4"zman streakz in new penny and the 4" McCarthys paddletail in white pearl. Pinky's, dhues, blackass herring, tuna, skippey etc love them... any advice on spangos/trout on artificials? These vibes seem to be getting plenty of attention but at $20 a pop it seems a bit steep! You could get a pack of plastics and jigheads for the same price. Cheers!

My Quintex sports is leaking very minutely from the black outlet in the pic on one side of the boat and fairly consistent drip, I'm assumeing it's from a full tank/flow, however it hasn't in hot in Perth so not sure any idea's ?

TIA

 Hi all, heading up to Denham soon what is it like fishing in Denham sound in the deeper areas?

We're going to head to Bent peg and start there.

 Hi guys, wondering if any of you troll baits for Spaniards?, I have caught them on trolled gars rigged with wig heads, I have tried Reaper rigged gars, doggie mackerel and wolf herring rigged on chin weights but no luck on them yet, has anyone rigged and towed whiting?, being nice and shiny they should be good just unsure of how to rig them

cheers Yewie

This link was just sent to me by a fellow FW member.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-30/fish-report-finds-dhufish-sustainability-concern-increases/105585128

How the hell could any moron believe that doubling the bag limit and abolishing the size limit on dhufish could be beneficial.

We fishos all new this would have a negative affect, now the powers that be look like hitting us even harder.

Others will most likely disagree, but if numbers a so seriously declining, then maybe dhufish should be regarded as an amature only species with no commecial take allowed.

I have nothing against pro fishing (I worked as one for a time) and I realise they are only trying to make a living, but if numbers of a particular species are so seriously threatened then shouldn't this be the first place to start.

Or is the whole thing really just a con ?

 Just noticed in the new fisheries guide and it's high lighted .when travelling between bioregions if the fish in your possession includes whole fish the bag limit for the bioregion where you are located applies. So only 4 dermersals in the west coast zone regardless of where they were caught. What about when the demersal closure is on.oh and thanks rec fish west for making the 10kg limit state wide when the fisheries only proposed doing it in the west coast zone.

 Hi all have had a bit of a stuff up on my boat and my lead from the battery to my cray winch needs replacing.  It needs to be about 1.7m long with round 10mm I think terminals on 1 end and Anderson plug on other. I don't have the crimping tool and probably not worth buying for 1 lead. Just wondering where is best to get one from. I can always go back to where I got the winch just trying to avoid the drive down to safety bay.

just a few pics from the local man the gassy has alot to offer espically when your a local so many good fish to be caught on regular basis

 G'day All

An old fart here :). Haven't been in the West too long and looking at a first trip with the boat, probably to Nanga Bay next month.   just after any advice at all that would help get me on to a few fish, not fussed on species, it's mostly for fun, although wouldn't mind a feed or two of decent table fish. Boat is a 5.4m with 130 donk. Bringing a mate from over East that is mainly used to bait fishing for bream and flathead, so would like to get him onto something bigger too.   any advice would be much appreciated!
 

Cheers

 What's the one creature comfort you can't go without on your boat?. 

I've just installed an airconditioner. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a game changer up here during the buildup / wet this season. 

 Gday guys

just after some info on whether anyone has been up to 80 mile beach in September/October and if the threadies are biting at that time of the year.

cheers.

 Managed to wake up this morning with all of my fingers still attached and the backyard in one piece. 40 kilos of fireworks put on one hell of a show.
