Oceanside Tackle and Marine owner Ryan Thipthorp has been at the fore front of Super Deep fishing for many years now. Ryan's dedicated thousands of hours and many many trips to fully suss out targeting super deep species with excellent results.

When it comes to reading and understanding a sounder, Ryan is known as one of the best around. Targeting super deep species on jig isn't easy but Ryan has perfected it with good results. All us staff here at Oceanside have our own boats and get into these super deep fish on jig & baits. Ryan has taught us plenty to make us full bottle on super deep fishing, one of the perks of working at Oceanside.

There has been a big increase in this form of fishing ie 200-500m and there's plenty of anglers out there wanting to know more about sounders and super deep info. Ryan has been asked to do these talks for many years now but  due to his filming/traveling schedule it hasn't been easy but it did happen recently.

Rhyss from Taylor Marine/Furuno organised a talk night at Cockburn Power Boat Club last night with Ryan,Reese (staff member) and myself Marc (staff member) attending.  On the night Ian McNeill from Taylor Marine/Furuno was there also to talk about Furuno sounders followed by Ryan giving an in depth talk about targeting super deep species which included sounder set up, target depths, explanation of super deep sounder pics and a comprehensive Q&A.

Reese and myself went through in detail also about electrics reels/rods/braid/rigs/jigs/techniques and much much more. The night was capped at 120 people, we could of double that amount with the huge response which was good to see. So for that reason we're having a second night and details will be posted on here so stay tuned for that.

We just want to say a big Thankyou to Rhyss Whittred, Ian McNeil,Taylor Marine,Furuno Australia,Cockburn Power Boat Club and all our customers that turned up for a great and very informative night.

Thanks - Oceanside Team
 

A good crowd enjoying plenty of in depth info.

 Hey everyone,

Well my birthday is coming up and I am planning to go fishing somewhere, was hoping to catch some bread and butter fish along with a bigger rod for maybe a bigger fish or a ray or a shark? Can anyone help me with any spots that I might be able to get something a bit bigger? Last birthday we went to Rockingham Jetty and I got a little Mulloway of about 14kg (which was released) Will be fishing from about 3 in the arvo to about 2 or 3 in the morning so will be happy to wait a while if its worth it. Any help would be much appreciated:)

Cheers, Vinnie

 Hi I'm taking my first trip to Exmouth in a couple weeks. 

Move got small gear sorted, was wondering what people 

recommend using to chase sport fish such as GT's and 

queenies land based? 

All my my fishing will be from the shore as I have no boat 

and also no 4WD

thsnks 

 Thoughts. All websites seem to be different

anyone able to make sense of the weekend weather forecasts? Willy looks good with no wind and under 1.5m swell whereas BOM and Seabreeze say it's going to be blowing its arse off.... 

 Snagged a day off which is a bit of a rarity these days with work!! 

So mrs dropped off da squids to school in the morn made up some 

lunch and we headed out the plan was to get into the gardies 

again !! Well all good havin a plan ??? Dropped anchor say 100m 

inside first reef Mindarie !! Berlyed and berlyed !! Nuthin no Gards 

or herring !!!! Pulled up anchor and shifted closer to the reef !! 

Started up berly trail still no gardies ?? Then had my float rig with

4lb Fluro for the gards got smashed !! Few minutes later up popped 

a good skip !! So cut off da float rigs !! Tied a soft plastic jig head 

and threaded up a coral prawn and she was on !! Dropped a heap 

of fish more than we landed been a while since I had shallow water

sesh on em !! Poor mrs hookd up a few times but didn't land one in 

the boat !! I showed why they we're pulling that hard they were 

opening up a big hole in the lips and if Tha angle changed the hook 

just dropped out !! Anyway good day with the babe and Better than work 

 Just heard on ABC, sounds like they've found this Trawler boat.

SORRY, not exacatly fishing related, but does anybody know where to purchase low or ultra low sulphur diesel in perth, northern suburbs preffered????....... cant find it anywhere or on the websites an all the indians i have spoken to on the phone at the servos have no idea what im talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

 G'day fellow fisho's,

I heading out this arvo and wondering wether the pinks are in or out of the sound. 

I'm thinking of either drifting or anchoring (weather depending) outside the 5 or sitting inside the sound/s, warnyabro or cockburnt?

Any info would be great , thanks.

With the Shredder now “firing on all cylinders” (http://fishwrecked.com/forum/shredder-ultimate-burley-machine) (http://fishwrecked.com/forum/shredder-mk-2), and the number of requests from FW Members for the burley it produces it is time to start to determine the appropriate recipe.

My observations are that the time the burley takes to dissolve in the water column varies considerably based upon the mix of fish flesh/frames to pellets/pollard, the number of times the burley is minced and the water content of the burley as it is used frozen – assuming tuna oil as a constant.  If we are ultimately going to offer the burley commercially then the mix ratio has to be right.  You want something that produces a steady stream of appropriately sized particles, but will last for a reasonable period of time.

As a scientist by training, with a High Distinction for Topics in Applies Statistics in my Honors year (I have never really admitted my geek like behavior from the 80’s), it was time to conduct an experiment.  A multi factorial analysis of variance, with the dependent variable being the burley dissolution in sea water in grams per minute, seems like the go.  Independent variables of mix ratio, mince events and water content is the starting point, which can be refined once the initial results are known.  Replicates of 4 is appropriate but if you are to test for the dependent variable in “real life” conditions the actual trip with different wind, wave and current observations is likely to confound results – use this as a factor as well.  Blah, blah, blah.  My family and friend always sledge me for over analysing things!

Anyway, I spent the day making up 750g (measured accurately) bags of burley with 2 different mix ratios, 3 different mince techniques and 2 different water contents.  2 x 3 x 2 and 4 replicates = 48 bags of 750g mass each.

Yes, it was tedious but research and development is important.  I can now go fishing with randomised 4 x 750g burley logs in the water at a time and see how they each behave, and this is the best part of the whole deal.  I know my burley works but the experiment is to evaluate what should actually be made in the future considering all of the factors. 

I still aim to have the Shore Catch burley available for purchase, in various forms (1kg, 2kg, 5kg), by the end of the year and this is all part of the process.  I look forward to reporting on results of the experiment.

 Anyone out there know where I can get some replacement skirts for my Black Bart Lures.

Cheers Pete.

Hi all

Now we all like to see shots of fish landed. But I dont know if I am the only one on here but probably have seen more shots of fish caught.

What I do like is the true action shots but strain on the face and a true bend in the rod showing battle. Not a avid Phorographer but when I take shots its usually of the battle.

Oh and then the dispair off loosing a decent fish. In this case it was my ever chased Spining whaler that I was targetting as a "sports" fish. Unfortunately no action shots off the jumps but this resisdent shark on a particular reef had me determined to at least capture it boat side. never happened though!!!

Lets see some more action and dispair shot because it makes more fun.

Hi everyone,

Harry here long time reader first time poster. I recently bought and old quintrex tinnie breezeabout and loving it. Obviously would love to have a bigger boat funds permitting but i have loved every minute of it. So i started out on the river and to my disbelief actually got onto some good crabs which was great and certainly beats fighting out on the local swan river jetties to get a spot. I have also nailed the squid. Then i moved out into the ocean and yes i have all the safety gear etc. So far i've hit wedge, cockburn, busselton and 3 mile out of hillarys. But i suck at catching fish, on friday i bought navionics and over the weekend fished near mews rock and around carnac and near garden island. I caught heaps of undersized flathead, lots of small whiting, too many wrasse to count and i m pretty sured i missed a snapper considering a big bite and the head of the scaly gone.

1 Are the sonar/contour lines on navionics a good indicator of where i should fish? eg looks like a mountain under water should i fish there? is that the so called structure everyone talks about and what i should be looking for?

2 Is it normal as a boat owner of approx 4 months to be scared everytime i venture past 4 nautical miles? 4.2 meter runabout maybe 4m

3 I have noticed a lot of rocks and reefs aren't plotted on navionics, is that normal? (as a surfer my eyes are always peeled for that perfect wave)

I guess i would just like to get as much knowledge from the Fishwrecked community on how i can one day succesfully catch snapper and dhuies without having to go too far out. I trust the old Quinnie and feel very safe in her. I check swell periods, swell heights and all forecasts and definately pick my days.

But i want to start posting pics of nice fish i have caught on this great website! So any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ps i jagged a pinky (85cm) trawling just south of north mole using a halco laser pro about 2 months ago.

Thank You Harry

 Hey guys, just a question bout 4 strokes- looking at boat that has a mercury 4 stroke with 490 hrs on it! It is a 06 model with full service history , is that starting to get to problem time for these models?

 Just got back from a quick trip to dongara, had 3 days of solid fishing and 3 nights of solid drinking with everyone catching good dhus and a bunch of other nice fish im way too tired to do much of a write up but here's some pics

 Ive been trying to call trailit trailers this morning but the number seems to be disconnected.

can anyoen shed any light on this or have their new number?

cheers

 Had to get the smoker out after landing these with my son the other night. Includes a 30cm one!

 I am wanting to service my trailer as its seen better days

however my problem is that I'm in carnarvon and I'm almost certain there is no where to get my trailer dipped in galv here in town.

im planning to push my boat off onto tyres in the coming week or so and wondering if there is anywhere in gero or exmouth I can get my trailer galv'd after it's been sandblasted.

will be a pain towing the trailer but unfortunately don't have much other option

unless anyone has any other ideas for rust protection after it has been sandblasted 

thanks for any help
