No much happening on here at the moment so i thought i would post a few pics of SOME of the gear i am taking to Ningaloo Station at the end of the week for a 2 week trip.

Should be enough to keep me ammused for a few weeks any way.

Cheers Jayce

Had confirmation from fisheries today that the season will start on October 15th again this year.

 Seen some pictures of these caught land based off the beach. Can they be in metro or are they only up north in the pilbara? If u can catch them metro or under 2 hours north or south what bait, rigs, time, tides etc. are best?

Hey guys we did the ice bucket challenge for Team Karl Langdon at Chivers Marine today, please have a look at the link below !!  

In memory of our late colleague and friend, Phil Watts who passed away from MND at the age of 37.  

Good fun for a good cause! - Mark Brown and the boys at Yamaha are next !!

 hi, were are the tailor biting at the moment SOR. what is cotteslo groin producing latly?

 Hi everyone, I know prime salmon time is about half a year away still but I want to be ready to go when it comes.  My question is how do you find schools of salmon? Do you drive on coastal roads from perth to south until you see one? Is there any tricks to finding them?

Was at work a few weeks ago when i saw this old fella, must have been 1.5-2 metre shell diameter (im quite high up in this pic).

This is in the sound near rockingham, was awesome seeing him he swum around for a bit then dissapeared. Are turtles that big rare sightings this far south?

Rushed snap off the iphone, apologies for bad quality.

 Hey all, I'm getting a new rod made but I would like to have my name and a wahoo on there. The rod builder suggested me to find them because he didn't know anyone who would do it, so if you have the printer or know someone that can do it I am more than happy to pay for it, cheers :)

 Hi All

Just wondering ehat mid size stickbsits and poppers everyone is using at the moment. 

I am going to ningaloo and trying yo fill the lure box a bit more before I go. Wanting yo target Spangos, Trout, Queenies, Trevs and anything else that will take a lure.

I already have some Maria blues codes and bullchops aswell as some smaller Strada poppers and assorted diving lures.

Whst can people rrecommend? I will only be fishing them on 15lb so want to stay around the size of bullchops. Would like to use the lures for tailor and salmon when I get back aswell.

Cheers Jayce

 hi, this is a bonito i caught at woodies point on a lure in 2011 back when i was a amuture fisher.

it was 700g. i caught 3 that day

 Anyone knows how this stacks up against the sustain in size 4000. Drag and retrieve rate.  Longevity in salt water environment

thanx

 hi, today i caugth heaps of scalys and i was wondering how to can them like sardines? how do you do it without a pressur cooker since i dont have one?

 Just a random question what fish are in the canning river? At the freshwater part and near the kent street weir? I saw this www.smh.com.au/environment/save-our-swan/giant-feral-goldfish-invade-was-river-systems-20131011-2vcwk.html and thought that I could catch fish this big there if I was lucky. I know there is carp and koi and chichlids in the freshwater part. And is there any redfin or trout in the system?

 My friends want to go kayak fishing in huge fresh water side of kent street weir. I know there are carp in there but are there koi or any other freshwater species that I can catch? What bait and rig would I use there?

 hi, what is better, the 3rd generation off the penn spinfisher ss, or the 4th generation ssm. what is stronger, better drag, quality ect? 

Just wondering if anyone has used the Gosen J Square braid? What's it like?

Can't seem to find out online whether it is a 4 strand or an 8 strand. Looking for some PE2 to chuck on a Stella 4000 FI. Has to be colour coded as I will jig with it a lot but it will also see some casting.

Was just about to buy Sasame 8 carrier, but thought I'd see if anyone had good experience with the Gosen.

I have got most of my gear sorted now for targeting a few sails and baby blacks on a upcoming trip to Ningaloo.

The only thing i forgot to ask the boys at oceanside when i was there was do you go to a big clip swivel on the end of your wind on.

Josh and the boys spooled my reels up for me and Josh tied a couple of Richter wind ons on for me and i bought a couple of pre rigged richter skirts.

Do i go wind on to big shogun clip to the leader on the lure? And if thats the case whats the best knot to tie the swivel on with? Would the chain knot i use for jigging be fine?

Cheers Jayce

 hi guys 

Anyone had much experience with the shimano Cranx and 4000 ci4+??

i know there has been plenty of discussions in the past over the reels.

Im looking for a nice combo to flick lures with up around exmouth and looking for some feedback?

 Hey guys just wondering what peoples thoughs are on these rods they look like they could be a good rod for some to fish off jettys and also boats I don't get out on a boat much but when I do don't have the gear so was thinking of getting one 

 Has anyone given these a decent spin. I brought a couple yesterday and probably wont get to try them until  I 

get home from my next swing at work.....they look the goods and should cast pretty well

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for some opinions and info on 2004 18ft fiberglass Kingcraft boats as I'm looking a buying one second hand but cannot find any info/reviews on them, also if somebody does own one can they tell me how much it weights so I can get an idea about towing capacity needed, TIA.

Enjoy

 Hey all just got myself a Tiagra 50w for big game fishing. Just nee help with spooling it. Thank you in advance for all your help

 
Me and my fishing cart are going to be heading down to Busselton this weekend to try out the jetty.

What can i expect this time of year? and should i target annything specific?

Still verry ammature with 98 percent of my nights unsuccsessfull so looking for any tips or info.
 

 Where is a good place to get some whiting from shore this time of the year 

Hi

Just finsished making my occy trap. It's made of 2 x 100mm PVC pipes , 400 long attached to each other and plugged at the back end with concrete plugs held in place by galvanised bolts. It has a frame below weighted down with lead sheet. I have 2 pieces of angle at the back which I hope will force it fall in the correct way. I have some galvanised wire rope bolted to the front end and a float on the rope attached to this harness to try and keep it all out the way so the occies wont be fearful of going in

I will be deploying it off Ocean Reef marina. Hope it wont be stolen.

I'll report back on whether its succesfull

Cheers

now that would be a shock I reckon

 Hey lads didn't know where else to out this but I work in my aunts farm every so often and she has a large dam in ine if the paddocks that seems to hold water through the year especially now it's almost flooded. The water is brackish and murky and the bottom is mud. We were thinking if stocking some fish in there but no idea what would survive it's down in boddington and the water is almost constantly freezing so options are limited. There already a heap if Marron and yabbies living in it that seems to be thriving. Looking for any opinions or thoughts on what to stock it with.  

We would be able to did it deeper clear out mud etc too. I was being optimistic thinking of putting barra In there maybe a jack or too but after this winter I doubt they'd survive. 

Also it doesn't connect to the river so no possibility if escapees either
