hi, this year there has been alot of salmon, i heard that big schools of salmon hardly come to perth, how often do they come like this year?

Guys, I'm driving up to Karratha with my cousin and a mate for a week at the end of June hoping to get stuck into some fishing. We will be staying in a mates Caravan for most of the time and trying all the land based spots around Point Samson and Dampier, however we would like to get out on a boat if possible?

Anyone keen to take us out, know a good contact or know of a good charter in the area? No worries us paying for fuel and bait etc.

We are also stopping by Wagoe camping at lucky bay for a night or two on the way home? Can anyone advise of the fishing there recently, what species? Hoping for good weather, else won't stop!

Cheers for all responses!

Long shot I know, but I'm in London at the moment and look like I'll have 2 spots free on a charter out of Eastbourne jigging the wrecks on Saturday.

2 of my friends just cancelled. Will be testing out some Temple Reef and JM gear on the local species.

If you are in town and keen to get involved, please drop me a PM.

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Everyone,

First post for myself but have been a follower for some time now.

Firstly I would like to Thank the guy's at Oceanside Tackle for the great help they have given me when swinging by the shop.

Secondly my son was a happy little fisherman when he has his photo taken with Ryan Thipthorp and signed a mag. Thanks heaps guy's really appreciated.

Third and Final, I hope to get up some pic's and reports in when I get some decent catches, that's if my son doesn't catch them before I do.

Cheers Met.

 Hey, just wondering if anyone knows of shops that sells garfish in bulk? Got a charter next week so late notice.. And rough prices? Cheers. 

 hey guys does just wondering if anyone uses baitcasters for jigging demersals

thanks

 Hi just need some input on whether or not lights actually work at the front of boats to see at night. Just brought a new boat and would like to put some on it. So anyone with some experience on this your thoughts would be appreciated. 

my mates boat was stolen from two rocks yesterday, it is a 5.5 metre centre console extreme plate ally barra boat, it is dark green with the name momentum on the side, if anyone has seen it can you report it to the police or message me on here. thanks 

 What are the odds of a few pinkys around this evening or tomorrow 10/6/14?

I can see one of these set up with rod holders and bait board for long beach fishing missions. I want one!

On a recent trip up to Gnaraloo one of the guys kept all his filleting knives in a pvc tube similar to a rod tube but a smaller version about 40cm long with a screw on cap he was able to keep 4 different filleting knives plus a cleaver and a steel in this thought this was a even better idea than the good old knife wraps plus only a few bucks to make 

hi,just wondering if anybody knows any good marine painters? i can get the paint and primer.just need a good painter. cheers mark

 Looking at getting another spool for a 4000 saltiga Z, what options is there out there? No limits spools? Do saltiga 10 spools fit? Or will it just have to be a stock standard daiwa Z version?

 hey fellas.

Dragged the boat downto the sound over the weekend and managed plenty of squid and some kgw.

Is there any big sections of flats and weed banks that hold squid / kgw from the north ramps, it takes me a bit over an hour to get the boat to point peron, and usually a little longer on the way home with traffic, but Hillarys is 20mins each way. 

 Drew sent me this pic on another great day I missed!

  went fishing with kingfisha1 to try catch some bream. Used nice and light 4lb braid and 6lb mono, good fun to catch. Ended up catching about 15 including 2 oversize ones that were 26cm and 31cm. All fish were released

 just wondering is it normal for a charter to stop and anchor on spots rather than drift

 Hey guys

 Any bream being caught at castledare lately? Or have they moved further downstream with the rain?

Just returned from our annual trip to the NT's Daly River to fish the Barra Classic.

Here's a few photos if anyone is interested

Biggest fish for the first day of comp put us in first place :)

Caught a couple of these too

Also hooked a 200 pounder

Stopped at the Ord on the way home for a couple more days of fishing.  Ord fishing was a lot better than Daly, we caught about 45 barra in 2 days up to 104cm

 Hey all,

First post, please be kind! ;-)

I'm heading out to the cockburn sound tomorrow looking to get some decent size pink snapper. I've managed to convince the misses to be Anchor gal for the evening as my usual fishing buddies are back up the mines this weekend. 

I've promised her a feed of nice big snapper in return so just wanted to make sure that I'm heading in the right direction. Current plan is for an overnight stay at the top end of Garden Island with a bit of late night fishing on 3 fathom bank and then up early to catch the sun up bite in the same area. 

Ive rigged up running sinker rigs with fluro and 40lb  fluoro leader (smelled circle hooks). Planning to burley up like mad and bait up with squid and mullies. 

Does this sound like the right plan? Not after anyone's secret spots or killer rigs. Just want to know that I'm not wasting my time and going to waste all my brownie points!

cheers!

 were do you guys that fish plastics buy yours from, seems every time i go to my nearest tackle shop they have no stock left or its due in monday. not real keen on going to bcf either

online or north perth preffered

cheers in advance

Hi people, as in my previous post, Here ,
I have an update as to what has happened.
I did some mods and went to test it today and it worked perfectly, I even get readings up to 25Knts, it doesn't even go bezerk when in reverse.
Just need to do some final settings, but they are working quite well at the moment
I would just like to say thanks to all who gave some advice.
I did the following:
- Moved the tranny to the left, about 16cm and away from any chines
- Moved the tranny wire away from any electrical wire to avoid interference
- Cleaned the tranny face, but didn't put dish wash liquid on it
- Tilted the tranny forward
- put the power wire directly to the battery
- did a software update
I'm not too sure what sorted it out, but I have a feeling it might be the position of the tranny.

Thanks again guys

just saw this one floating around. looks to me that the rod is doing all the work as it should be.

Enjoy

Hi all, I have 2 weeks involuntary leave up my sleeve from today so if anyone needs/wants a deckie please let me know. I have all my own gear and will chip in for fuel, beer, bait etc (the usual) plus plenty of laughs and stories:)
Happy to travel anywhere from Mandurah to two rocks.
Hope to hear from someone on here 0439 935 845!!
Cheers Timmo

 Hey guys what noteable catches have you made using scalies as live bait? How long do the last in 30-40m of water and where do you place your hook to keep them live.

Are there any areas they frequent near the Fremantle boat ramp?

Cheers Old Salt

shimano baitrunner 8000D, shimano aqua tip 5-6kg rod, finns 30lb braid, 60lb black magic leader. 43m of water just after i helped two mates netting dhuies, baged out in 15min of hitting our spot. 

 Hi guys, looking for advice in what to do next, higher, lower, angle, have fitted tm260 transom when out yesterday got a great pic up to 10-12 knots then start to lose picture/bottom, looked like it was sitting in clean water, anyone had similar problem?

cheers jay
