Just wondering if many planned to chase land based metro snapper this weekend seeing the swell and wind are up? Boating is out this weekend so I was planning on trying my luck, would be good to hear how everyone gets on.

after a new bait board for a 5m runabout.
permanent board either ali or stainless with a few rod holders
Anyone know a place that sells reasonably affordable ones?

Hey Guys

Not asking for specific spots but can someone give me a bit of an idea what areas to fish around Rotto ?  We have always fished five fathom and have had hit and miss luck so thought it might be good to actually go over to Rotto to fish with the boys rather than go to Rotto for lunch with the girls.Cheers,

Cheers,

Chris

thank you for the advice ocean side tackle and the help and all members that gave and give advice its all helped

i now have a

pflueger crank 20 to 30 lb overhead rod 10 foot with a TLD 25

'Mr. Excuses', 'the fish hear everything guy', 'the line crosser'?

lachie

 going on a 5 day charter to the abrohlos islands in 2 and a half weeks but we are short 2 peeps. everything supplied except booze for 2000$ a head. gonna be an awsome trip, ring me on 0433638698 and ask for ross.

 Hey guys,

has anyone got a penn prevail beach rod? Just looking for some opinions on it like how strong it is and just if you like it really.

Cheers

 Hi guys,

looking at upgrading my current outboard motor just looking for opinions on what my current motor is valued at, also if anyone is interested in buying it. 

My current motor is a 2006 mercury 90hp four stroke efi, it has approx 600 hrs (to be confirmed) would be sold including cables and controls. Motor runs well the engine cowl is a little faded and could do with a re spray. It is the shorter of the two leg lengths I think they call that long. 

Any input would be appreciated. 

Mark. 

Finalised a trip to Rompin today to fish for the mighty Sailfish, the fastest fish in the ocean.  We leave in July, normally I go in Augist and September so I am interested to see how many fish we get this early.

 Hey fellas,

Heading to the Abrohlos at the end of June and looking for a new rod to match my Daiwa Sol 5000, at the moment it's loaded up with 30lb Daiwa Tournament braid. Any suggestions or opinions welcome,

Cheers lads!

 Will be getting a new surf rod but need to know what size star sinkers = weight.

e.g. Size 4 star = (amount of grams) does anyone know the conversion between these?

lachie

 Do all fishing charters take out 10+ people at a time in metro?

 Well I've gotten into jigging in the last year and love it but one problem is my left arm gets tired pretty easily and sore from haven erbs paulsy but do struggle on to keep fishing the day out  and countless hours off looking for rods looking for a right rod for me I think I had found it. The company is newish and  has been product testing this new handle for a while now and have just released the first batch off handle and rods  on the market and I thought I'd grab one  to give it a try as the owners said it helps wit muscle fatigue and so on also people with disabilities like myself find it much easier to use than a stander straight rod. So I found it bout 8 months ago  they said it be ready for end January but  they were haven hard time getting th Fuji guides and reel seats but Finaly received them in late April and few weeks to out the rods together and send them out I was getting nervous as I really wanted the rod for me up coming trip to the abrohlos were I wanted to out it to the test  so asked them to express post it to me and now just recieved it  opened it up out off the box and out off the bubble wrap I come across a nice rod bag well call it also designed to fit the fin off the handle  out it together and had a feel and omg it felt Lao good with me arm I was impressed so grabbed me sustain 6000 out off me reel bag that's ready for the trip threaded the line thru and tied a loop knot so I could fit over the fence post and went back 10m or so and tried it out  tightened the drag and started a slow pump and wind and omg I could hold the rod better and also put more pressure on then it started to rain so thought I'd write a post up about it 

forgot to tell you the name off it it's a Get A GRip handle  with a crony prodigy ii blank overall is 5.9 " 

ill let the pics speak for themselves 

i have got heaps of occy in the freezer and i was wandering if using occy tenticles as mulloway bait would work

any sudjestions? 

 Anyone else have a fishwrecked sticker on there boat or car?

 Only other one i have seen was also at mindarie i think was andy mac just before easter

G'day Guys,

Does anyone know if there is a defined boundary for Cockburn sound i.e.what is the northern/western most points of Cockburn sound, is it woodman point?
When people refer to catching fish in "Cockburn sound" are they actually in Cockburn sound or are they really outside the boundary, for example if I'm fishing mewstones am I still in Cockburn sound?

Cheers

 Just wondering if this would get any traction.

i am from SOR and never fished anywhere NOR but would love to give places like the 3 Mile a go. I am sure there is other fishos in reverse. Problem is I don't know where to start. 

So now the reason for the post. 

How about a meet up organised where we get to put faces to names, have a laugh and maybe a beer or two. Have a fish and share some "secret" spots. 

So would anyone be interested?

Caught up with a fellow Fishwrecked member on the water last Saturday.  I had exchanged a number of PMs with this member since before I moved over here and he has been very helpful in providing information that has improved our catch rate.  It was good to finally meet him and his family, until our on-water conversation was terminated by the fisheries inspection boat  - just doing their job and I certainly support the policing of the regulations.  My young fella wasn’t on the boat that day (constantly getting up at 5am was a bit much and seeing he had got a nice pink the night before, and I was taking out a work mate as deckie, he politely declined).  He was however disappointed not to finally meet the member that had helped us and I PM’d this advice.  We talked about all getting together for a fish one day and the member indicated his willingness to go fishing with the Young Pinky Master.

WTF - Young Pinky Master, didn’t his head swell far more than was actually warranted by his actions.  Yes, he has landed a few nice pinks but Master is taking it far too far.  He has actually contemplated changing his Fishwrecked “handle” to this but I have told him that there need to be many more pinks on the boat before this can happen.  Young Pinky Novice or Young Pinky Beginner comes to mind.

Anyway, I have included a number of photos of recent pinks that we (well mostly he) have caught over the last couple of months on the 3 Mile (some of these have been posted before).  He is going quite well (has fished all his life) and perhaps if the catch rate continues up until the demersal closure then YPM may be appropriate?

Mick

The first pink of the season.  Undersized so back in the drink.  YPB has caught a lot of these but no more photos of undersized - throwing back 45cm+ pinks is hard given that legal is 35cm in Queensland but the rules are the rules.

First legal of 2014 - 71cm.

The start of it all.

hey im heading up north to warrorra station at the end of the month and was after a few tips on the fishing i will have 4meter tinny with a leccy on the front never fished up north before so a few tips would be good. cheers kurt

hi All

Hi all,

Heading down to Margaret river with the family in a week, staying in town area. 

Hoping to take the my two young girls out for a fish for herring/whiting and also go out for a fish myself off the beach after the usual stuff ( tailor etc ).

Not after any secret spots but would be grateful for any advice on easy/safe spots for the kids in the area, and any areas I could try when I go off on my own.

Cheers,

Joycey

Have been gearing up for an Exmouth trip and saw a Black magic "maggot" pusher in Bluewater tackle for $42.00 rigged looks exactly like a Richter Oscar junior but about half the price rigged. When i compared them the hook on the maggot has a very large gauge and doesnt seem as sharp as the Richter hooks. Just wondering has anybody used maggots or any other black magic lure with these heavy gauge hooks and found the hook-up rate not so good.  

 not really fishing related, but looking into buying a new fridge/freezer for my navara

any ideas on the best brand & model?

looking to spend around about a g

cheers caughtup

 So what should I be targeting now its getting colder in the water? Have been trying to be a non bait boat with middling to low success. Does anyone reckon certain species must have bait or does it change depending on conditions/season as to whether you use artificial or real?

Id be really interested in peoples opinion. 

Cheers!
