G'day fellas just seeing if anyone has any suggestions.

im towing my boat down to Mandurah this coming weekend and have just found out that our chalet accomadation does not offer parking for my boat and trailer. Does anyone know where I can rent a boat pen but also have some where to store my trailer while boat is moored on pen..

Any info would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Stewart

High everyone. With the school holidays coming up I was wondering if there would be any good fish for daytime to dusk fishing. While it is cooling down the flathead should be moving out, so I won't be fishing for those. Bream should stay all year round is any suitable spots for them? Also is it worth a shot going for tailor on the Halco Twisty's? If so is there any productive spots for them in the cooler months.
Also for all tailor fishing, what pound leader and what type would you use for river tailor and the north mole. It has been my goal for a while to catch my first tailor and have been trying for a while.

just curious on knowing what is the best way to cook bronzie fillets?

havent yet tried them before, i assume its like most sharks?

can anyone share there favourite way on cooking them?

much apperciated, caughtup.

 Sorry out of towner  and  have read a fair bit  about people fishing for bread and butter fish and squid around there.  Are you actually allowed to fish around there  or is it a sanctuary? Been meaning to take the young fella there but not sure if allowed. Cheers

Hi All,

Anybody getting any salmon around Bunbury ? i fly home tomorrow so i was just looking for a bit of a heads up to where theyre at ( Dont want to join the chaos down Dunsborough way if i can)

Cheers

Just after suggestions for gear appropriate for the Murchison in Kalbarri and for light beach use with little/no swell. Something suitable for a calm perth beach also.

Not for chasing anything too big, just the bread and butter stuff. And has to be female friendly - yes chasing something small enough for the missus and also something I can also use when back in Perth off a calm beach or jetty/rocks for whiting/herring/small tailor etc etc...

Mainly bait use but don't mind flicking the occasional lure or plastic...

Prefer fibreglass :) Budget preferably under $250.

** I was thinking maybe a Silstar crystal power tip in either 7' or 8'. Can get the 7' (4 - 7kg's) with an Okuma Avenger 40 reel for around $140.**

Thanks guys.

 Heading to NZ this morning for a fortnight.

 Have a free weekend, does anyone have any recommendations/experience with charter operators out of Auckland?

 Cheers

I need some help with trying to track one down and someone who ownes a 2250 walkaround tournament in Perth, there's no more dealers in Perth so i cant look at one. I'd like to buy one but there all over East. I've looked over the mustang 2250 its seems like a nice boat. They changed to tournament now haines group make them. I believe there's one in the boat storage in Freo next to little creatures. Has anyone been fishing in one and are they any good. I'm suprised there not a bit more popular as the walkaround section seems awsome for a fibre glass boat. Any reviews would be appreciated and if i could look at one would even better.

im going up to jurien bay for the first time at easter with the boat is there a marine chart for jurien cheers daniel

 I think I have a curse here at kalbarri. The bloke next to us has a jet ski and has smashed 6 big Spanish Mackrel in 2 days and we are yet to land one or even a decent fish. WTF is going on!!!

 With all this talk of salmon haven't heard anyone talking about fishing the bay for something edible. Has anyone caught or heard of any squid in the bay. Where has the jetty rat gone. His reports were always worth a read. Cheers in advance for any info

Hey guys just a few questions about mulloway.  When they are interested in your bait do they stay there for awhile looking and playing with it?  And would a mulloway be able to bite a herring roughly in half?  I had a livie out the other day and all i saw was the rod bouncing from the livie puckering up then slack (I was using a 2 hook rig with a hook behind the head and one around the tail area why I missed a hook up I have no idea) and the night before that I was chucking out livies at the body was getting bittenfrom the body up to just behind the head pretty cleanly would that have been a shark or mully?  And every time unlike what I've seen from rays there isnt a semi circle type of chunk its just clean through bar the herring that got bit in half that one was a little messy.  And I hope that boltcutters cant/wouldnt do that haha, also I've put a picture of the herring that got bitten in half as an attatchment (atleast I hope it's worked)

Cheers, Shaun.

Just wondering what everyone does with big fillets. Was thinkin of cutting the thick parts into steaks but worried about cooking thick fish nicely so was thinking of filleting the thick parts into thinner pieces???? What does everyone else do?

 Hi Everyone,

Heading down to Palm Beach jetty in a couple weeks to try and get a feed of crabs and hopefully some tailor. I have looked on previous posts and know that it may not be the best fishing. I have been there before and seen people going for squid, seen bream and tailor being caught and heaps of crabs were caught. Also is it worth bringing down some squid jigs? Going to bring a drop net for the crabs, put in some mullet head or the cheapest fillet of steak that I can find.

On the tailor side of things, I will use a gang of 4 size 3/0 hooks with a whole mulie baited on. should I put a sinker or floater on the rig for the jetty? When casting out should I just leave it or reel it on slowly? If the bait doesnt work I will put a gold Halco twisty on and see how it goes. Is it worth putting down some small baits fir jetty fish.

I will not use a surf/beach rod, I will use a 7.6 foot with a size 4000 reel, also I will use a small bream rod for the jetty fish.

As I said I have used the search tool.

 last night was trying to have fun with the ray inside marina had a little run in one direction then swam back towards me thought i had lost it but went in another direction and line snapd didnt feel like a ray could this have been a shark? 

My nephew caught this today out off ocean reef in 30m, looks pretty cool, we released it with no worries. Wouldn't have a clue what it is? Anyone know?

Was walking in a rock pool at Cleaverville and something spiked me through my boot.

Took the boot off and there was a puncture wound in my middle toe.  Pain was steadilly increasing, and luckily had my missus to drive me back to Karratha.

Whilst driving I had thoughts of "am I gonna die"  "should I stop and get hot water water out of the radiator" while being crippled with intense pain.

Anyway, started googling stonefish on my phone and did not get much information.  Got home and put my foot in an esky of hot water and the pain started to ease.

I rang the hospital and they refused to give me advice, but gave me an emergency information number to call.  The emergency hotline were more interested in asking irrelevant questions than giving me advice, and their only suggestion was to visit a hospital within 4 hours.

Anyway, after about an hour in the hot water, another 6 beers and a couple glasses of wine the pain was down to about 20% of the initial pain, so I decided to give up the hot water treatment and cook a BBQ.

Went to bed and woke up the next morning feeling quite normal, just a puncture wound in my toe which hurts when the kids or dog step on it.

So..... was it a stonefish?  What else would puncture my reef boots and inflict such chronic pain on me?   Is it possible the rubber sole on the reef boots "wiped away" the majority of the poison.

Has anyone stepped on a stonefish or other evil bastard reef creature?

 My wife wants to buy me a day on a fishing charter.

Can you advise if they are any good and what might be the best 3 to choose from?

Hi all Iam after some help here put the boat in at 1030 yesterday to head out to the fads stoped and got some live bait then after reading on here that the first fad (south) wasn't there we started out for the next one and then three others heading north couldn't find one if got navionics gold. on the way back found a long slick with hundreds of these fish (I think bonito)and some massive whales. being disappointed thought we would go to the barges to jig for sambo-- couldn't find them ether or the wrecks near the fad west of rotto back at boat ramp 930 fishless which wasn't the disappointing part it was I couldn't even find these spots clearly marked on the sounder and coordinates on this site. any help would be appreciated on fads or sambo jigging spot. thanks guys

Hi Everyone

I'm looking at getting a new chartplotter, currently I have a Navman Trackfish 6600 that I use just as a plotter. I need to get something that is similar size 20cm unit width.

Any recommendations?

Cheers

 Hey yall finally got my dinghy  and trailer licenced   got out to my whiting spot with some nice ones around, i did notice worms tho,have seen them befor but there were more this time , they were about 10 mm long.anyone come across this?

 Hi guys after seeing a few recent salmon posts I'm going to drag the boat down to dunsborough to try get into a few.. Been searching the net but can't seem to find much on any ramps down that way.. Anyone know where the ramps are down that way? 

Cheers

Holy Cr-p

Guess we have just gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. 

The new Avet reels

they have a 3 speed!

and 2 speed 50 reel that has a strike drag of 100 lbs, and a max drag of 116 lbs!!!!!!!!!

well there are now 2 more things in life i'm scared of:

1\ the guy who can effectively hold a rod with 116 lb drag screaming in his ear

2\ The fish on the other end pulling that drag.

I don't want to meet eithert

I guess you make a reel like this, only because you can.

Enjoy

imnot gettign it from ebay got it in perth for $30 what im wonderign is if its not a star drag what sort is it

 Went down to castle rock after work today to throw some lures around, pretty quiet, saw 1 school of about 1/2 a dozen fish but couldn't tempt them. Still, a pretty relaxin arvo. Until I started making my way back across the rocks, the amount of rubbish left there was fucking disgraceful! I picked up 2 Coles bags full of everything from empty cans and bottles to lure packets, bait bags and chip packets. There are rubbish bins in the car park, which is where you have to go to get home. How hard is it to take your crap with you!

Been getting a good amount of Dhuie's lately. loving the jigs, The Samaki choona and Vexed fat pitch 100-150g have been the go to jig and adding a skirt on the assist's is attracting a lot more action. All the credit goes to the skipper, Trent who has been putting in the hard yards and producing the goods. putting me onto ripper fish.
