Yardie Creek crossing advice

Hi guys - heading up to Exmouth week and will be staying in town for a week before heading down to Winderabandi. Chasing advice on crossing at Yardie Creek at the moment. Keen to avoid the Ningaloo Station track if the crossing is reasonable at the moment. Towing a 4.75m Quinnie. Any advice appreciated. Cheers, Scott. 


Fishing out wide after the storm - any advice/experience appreciated

 Looking safe to head out of two rocks tomorrow from around 10 am onwards as swell and wind drops off quick around then. Ive never gone out  wide directly after a big storm before cos i know snapper tend to come in close after storms. But what about chasing dhueys and baldies out deep say from 40m -80/90m where we usually go off two rocks? do you think its worth it? or is ocean too stirred up and dirty out there to bother?  any advice greatly appreciated


Looking for a crewie spot on thursday

 Happy to travel, pay my way etc


Out with Eric and Alan yesterday

 Out from o reef, marina wall looks good, first fish was bid sambo on a big john's swing head released,  Eric got another  sambo, then it was a struggle all day, heaps of undersized stuff, saw my smallest dhu and ytk, heaps of undersized pinks and dhus, but we ended up with 2 baddies, 1 pinkie, and a good black arse, good day out, lots of shouting with 3 older deaf guys on board.

Decoy fish

 Had a fun session today before the weather gods decided it was time to go home with a rain storm. Three nice Nannies and a Cobia on the soft plastics followed by a GT which ran defense with the sharks letting Captain Banana pants get this Mackie aboard.

Barra Trip Recommendation

Hi all

I'm keen on doing a fishing trip up north WA or NT with my two boys.

The 2 objectives are to get amongst some Barra and to land a Black Jew....anything else is a bonus.

I've seen a few...Shady Camp, One Tree Beach, Barra Camp, Kimberley Coastal Camp etc.  Some live aboard, others stay in a lodge of sorts.  Probably looking at around 5 days/nights.  Looks like Feb-May is the "season".

Has anyone done a trip like this that they would recommend?

Cheers

 


Tender squid

When I go out to restaurants and order deep fried squid, their squid is generally very tender, particularly in chinese restaurants.  When I do it at home, it is always chewy.  I know that you need to cook it for less than a minute, but it still isn't tender.  How do you guys make your squid tender, or is it the cooking process?

Lewmar anchor winches

 I'm having problems -again - with my Profish. Certain components are damaged and the spare parts pricing system makes the mafia look like a benevolent society. Anyone else had problems? They are very easily damaged if the anchor is pulled up too tight into the bow roller/fairlead. I'm working on a possible cheap fix, that, should it work out, I'll be happy to share. 


life jacket question

 Just been given a couple of older PFD Type 1 life jackets to use as spares but not sure they are still legal to use  . They are marked as Australian Standard AS1512 .

I know there is a newer standard but not sure if AS1512 can still be used .

Thanks Paul
