Hey guys

Got a Stradic ci4 4000 and the drag is not making the zzzzzzz noise when line is pulled from it. Anyone encountered this? Does it just need lubrication or washers etc need replacing?

Any help would be awesome.

Cheers

 Hi everyone. I have a new spinning reel and mainline but need to spool it. Don't feel like going to blue water Myaree so am going to do a D.I.Y. I have seen a YouTube video on how to spool the mainline. But how do you know if you need to put on backing? And if I need backing what knot do you recommend?

using 300m/330 yards if 25lb mono. 0.40mm.

Just a quick question in regard to a few places you can neck Pinkies in Shark Bay.

From what I was aware, and from the info I can find online, in the Freycinet Estuary Pinkies can only be taken by anglers who got tags in the lottery system.

Although I have recently been told that due to high stocks in the area this rule has been changed slightly and anglers can take a bag from this area. I can't find info to support this though.

Any help would be great, cheers :)

At Cheynes Beach, pretty funny watching kids catching fish by hand.

Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if anybody can tell me what is biting at the Busselton Jetty at the moment. I was planning to go down this weekend to have a go.

 Hi guys and girls.

just about to purchase a new gps/plotter gonna probably go with a lowrance hds8gen2,

does anyone have experience with both navionics gold and platinum map cards and if so is there any major benefits over either one. 

The cost is the same for both, gold covers all of aus and platinum is just wa and I probably only need wa. 

Any comments or opinions would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

Hi,

Looking for a new alvey to suit a 12-13ft rod. I have a 650BCVRR at the moment. I like it, the first Alvey I have owned.

Looking at another, minus the RR handle. Noticed a feature called Turbocast i can add to any 650 reel.
Read the description of it on the Alvey website, but farked if I can work out in my head how it works.

Says I hold the lever for casting? I currently thumb the line down onto the back of the spool. Not really sure how this T/C is supposed to work.

Can anyone shed some light?

Cheers,

D80

Just bought a Dmax, what oil does every body use?

This is my first diesel car.

Weather models indicating more heavy rain on the cards for Exmouth Sunday and Monday, here's the latest model run, colours show 24hr rainfall to 9am Monday morning:

From the weather bureau:

The weather bureau is warning residents to be prepared with a possible low developing off the coast, which could see more heavy rain dumped this weekend.

Senior forecaster Matt Boterhoven said there could be more significant rainfalls.

"At this stage it's still a few days away so a little uncertain," he said.

"It'll start on Sunday but the heavier stuff will be during Monday. The timing could vary, it could push it all back to Monday or it could speed it up a little.

"If the current guidance holds to be true, we could see some significant rainfall figures there on Monday."

Not looking good so soon after the flood!

Taking my daughter up there in July to get our diving tickets, getting nervous about what the reef will be like given all the sediment that's getting washed out to sea with these rains.

I have a charter booked with three others on Peak (in Exmouth) on the 5th, but unfortunately it looks like being blown out. Eddy has availability on the 7th and 8th if we want to re-schedule but one of the other customers is out of town on those dates.

So, if we end up re-scheduling, which looks quite likely, I am hoping someone is keen to join us.

The plan is to focus on bottom bouncing and jigging for Reds, Rankin, perhaps Trout, that sort of thing, then, depending on how that goes perhaps having a crack at some Mackies on the troll (I would personally love to get one on a stickbait if the oportunity arises). Even dropping for Rubies isnt out of the question, but I am not sure if its likely. This obviously all depends on the weather so nothing is set in stone.

Although its a long way out, the weather on those dates is looking pretty good and the price is $350.

So, if you are travelling up here at the time, and are keen to get out with Eddy (regarded by many as the best operator up here) for the day, please let me know. Locals are obviously welcome too.

Cheers,

Anthony

This clip has just blown up all over social media and I thought I'd share it with you guys. Its probably one of the best fish clips ive ever seen. I imagine not everyone will enjoy it as much as most of us will but you gotta love the commitment and overall message of the clip.

Looking forward to more footage from these guys!

 hi guys, i want to get into some whiting popping, what are good times, spots, seasons, lures ect. i herd that mandurah estuary is good. thankyou, any help will be good.

Hey guys

I am looking at buying a large spin reel for boat fishing after a 20kg+ Sambo nearly killed my Pflueger Salt 50 on Anzac day! haha!

So have browsed a few online stores and saw the Fin-Nor Lethal LT100. Anyone using the Fin-Nor Lethal LT100 spin reel and your thoughts on it? 

Specs:

LETHAL FEATURES
• Aluminum body and side plate
• Multi-stack MegaDrag™ with carbon fiber washers
• Forged and machined aluminum spool and drag knob
• MegaLock™ anti-reverse
• MegaShield™ multi-layer corrosion protection
• 6 Double-shielded stainless steel bearings

Lethal 100-size reel adds a triple-supported spool shaft, a forged brass main gear and a back-up pawl and ratchet anti-reverse.

 Any beaches that do not need 4WD around Mandurah that I will find salmon at. Will be live baiting mostly but also some lures following the schools up and down the beach (if they're there). It would. Be great if there is a couple of herring around aswell.

Has anybody caught salmon off Peppermint Grove Beach? Might just use some 40-70g twistys off there. I know that this isn't that close to Mandurah but just wanted to know.

As some know, I am new to surf fishing so some good info would be appreciated.
