had bradybunch dave come up couple days ago for a fish. Ended up going down to a pinky spit off cliffs around 11am and always good fun watching a bloke get smoked on a big pink! We didnt land any but getting smoked was good enough! 

That arvo with the weather looking very fishy! We went for a mulla fish. I managed a small soapy then dave hooked onto a decent mulla! When it was landed it ended up being a donkey!! Always stoked to get guys into good fish and this was a worthy mulla.

Ended up with another smaller one n dave lost another decent mulla. We were all done by 8.30. Good session and some good laughs!

Gota love the croakers. Thanks for the laughs dave.

Hi All, Mate and I are planning a trip to Dongara for 5 nights and taking a Barcrusher 680HT with twin 115 Suzuki's - Never fished off this part of the coast and if possible would like some advice on the following

How far out do we need to go to get some pelagic action and some bottom action. We have heard a lot about the area and just would like some general tips. We where planning a trip to Exmouth however circumstances changed and elected to pick Dongara.

Any advice most welcomed.....Tight Lines Everybody !!!!

Hey guys, I'm coming to Perth first weekend in June and we are planning to go on a charter for my nephews 21st. 

Want to go out for the day then be back to party in the evening, he's Waikiki based so preferably from Mandurah or Freo.

Any suggestions, is it worth while in early June?

 Hi all

i need to replace my GPS Lowrance HDS5.

the ones on ebay from the US are between 500 and 600 dollars will they be ok for Australia or do I need to be looking here.

cheers

All over my FB feed is metro fishos raving about what lure they used to catch salmon etc

I guess it must of been a good year as they schools finally travelled north a bit?

But seriously you could cast anything into a school of salmon and hook up...metals, poppers, hard bodies, plastics etc...its not rocket science and is there any need to spend many $$ buying fancy lures?

(But I may be a bit biased as we tend to catch the pesky buggers all year round)

 hey guys so i go out fishing from hillarys normally of rottnest probally 3-4 north and of geordy bay in about 20-33m of water but havent had much luck not even catching an undersized demersal where i fish there is a point and then u cant see anymore of the island i think thats round where the westend is  where abouts does it come into 40 m of water and is it reef there i cant seem to really find any good spots. 

I have latley been thinking of fishing of of mindarie/ocean reef but how far out do u have to go out of there to get in about 40 m of water and what direction do u head and is there good ground out there ? does it hold many demersals mainly dhufish.  where do u think i am better of fishing rottnest or mindarie/oceanreef wich holds more and better fish. I got  a coordinate to the gemenie wreck would this hold dhufish? 

thanks 

 Hi everyone,

Does anyone own or know someone that has a house in Coral Bay. We have two families with kids that want to go up there next Easter but everything seems to be booked out.

" How to use an Echo Sounder/Fish Finder " *** Oceanside Sounder Night *** -  Monday 12th May Presented by John Adams

This free night is for Fishwrecked members and a brief overview of;
 

 For you guys who fish from the beach or jetties etc and want to catch a good fish, this the time for a pinkie. Storm coming in with strong northwesters, this is where I caught most of my Pinkies from South Mole. Fish on the south side along side the lighthouse. Catch a herring and cut it into 3 pieces, that's your bait. Pinkies come in close looking for bits and pieces the storm has washed off or broken away from the groynes. A big chunk of fresh herring will get picked up pretty quick.

Good Luck and Tight Lines.

Dale

Any one heading downto through some big Baits this arvo off the wall in the storm ill be the bout 2 if any ones keen for a beer and a chin wag

Went for a fish at Buffalo beach last night. On the beach a bit late and line in the water at 6pm. Water was like glass. No wind, slight swell.

I used a rig with gang and mulie, surf popper below, sinker on bottom. Wasn't expecting to get anything on the surf popper at night.

Nearly caught more fish on the poper than on bait. Herring, small bream, whiting, pike, and this is what I was most surprised about, a Mulloway.

Ended up catching a dozen herring, 2 pike, 2 small bream, a whiting and 5 undersize mulloway biggest being 42cm.

Just starting to do a bit of fishing around Bunbury a bit more now so hopefully I will have some larger specimens to talk about soon. Had a few decent bites but no big hookups. Really want to get a big mulloway and a shark to fill the freezer.

Cheers

Rob

hey guys,

a recently planned trip to exmouth has fallen through due to work commitments ( sent missus in my stead hahah)

working a 8/6 roster will give me some time to get up for a few days if i fly up,

question is , what would you guys rccomend?

im after macks and tuna and well really anything that will make my drag sing!

nice bottom bouce and stuff aswell,

i know there is a shit load of charters up there, but i know nothing bout em,

love my LB fishing but would love to get into the deep blue and tick some boxes off

any suggestions would be helpful! also prefered time of year? e,g im looking at abrollas islands but im concerned bout weather as we heading towards winter....

cheers in advance guys.

p.s willing to pay a local boat owner up north to let me be a deckhand instead of charter if thats pssobile

 Not sure if anyone will get in or out of steep point this week, but if anyone does, please advise on the track conditions.  We're heading that way saturday night / Sunday morning.  I think (hope) the rain has cleared by then....

 shot out to 3 mile off hillaries this arvo tryin to get a bit of bait for an up coming north trip and maybe a feed smashed the bait bagged out hezza,slimies,yakkas and garies my mate manged a just size dhu squid and the tailor tried livies, fresh slabs, fresh mullies, old mullies, just couldnt tempt any big ones, bait freezer looks good though

 Hey guys looking at the weather what do you think? Big swell to big?

Just wondering about the state of these 2 Exmouth ramps.  Is the sand still present and will only allow boats to launch at high tide?

Thank you

took thesupervisor[Rob] out for a salmon hunt, we tried out from hillarys trolling stickbaits and a small deep driver, went into north beach then triggs, threw a few lures around Rob actually got 4 herring on a small slice, continued down to scabs, out to the reef, berlyed up did get 13 big skips up 43 cm,Rob had a good time on the light gear, couple of small sambos, trolled back on the inside of the reef throwing lures into the white water a few more herring then home, will try again soon. mint conditions could put the boat in real close to the reefs

my dilemma,

my combo unit died !

A)...I can get a simrad NSS8 with lowrance 600w 50/200 tranny, wifi unit and gold card for $1700 (to be used as a combo unit)

B)..I can get a Lowrance elite DSI 5 with gold card...(use as chart plotter only...but also comes with tranny 83/200 down scan etc...) AND a furuno 627 with 600w 50/600 tranny (both) for under $1700.

which would you guys go for?

pick a box A or B

might as well mess with my head a bit more and give me some other options as well.....

:)

 When I finally do come back to perth (awhile yet) I'm looking at spending 150k on a boat and 4x4 

I would want a boat that's on a trailer, 7m or bigger with probably a single engine as don't want 600$ fuel bill when going out for a fish 

and a 4x4 that would be able to tow it and still be able to head on the beach for camping and so on

so my question is, how would you spend 150k on a setup?

also what setup do you have ATM? 

Cheers, Troy

 Thanks in advance .
