G'day fellas I'm heading up north with the family in the next few weeks and will be throwing the rods and crab nets on board. Just wondering could anyone point us in the right direction of a few decent shore marks for myself and my young lad to fish for the likes of tailor, pinkies etc. any info would be greatly appreciated.

also just wondering does it be quite windy up that neck of the woods this time of year?

cheers

 I am faced with a (nice) dilemma.  I have a significant birthday this year, ending in a zero and times it by two for a good batting score....

I have a choice to make.  Go to Melbourne in September to see Freo win the GF...  or a good fish finder for the boat???

It pains me to admit, I think the fish finder wins.  Did I say that out loud?

So.  The budget is no more than $1,500.  I am thinking a Simrad NSS7 combo plus transducer for just under $1,500.

What are people's experience with these units (good or bad), or better suggestions for the same budget?  I am happy to leave out the combo and just go with the sounder (leave the plotter for another day, my handheld gps will do for now).

I've always used mulies as bait and have caught a few crabs here and there, what do you experts use! I'm really keen on catching some in Mandurah next week

Thanks guys ! 

 Hi found a rope and float marked AH1263 floating out near the FADS came off a plastic cray pot as parts of the pot (very small bits were still on it) just thought i would post this in case some poor bugger was still looking for his pot.

 Hey guys, this has been driving my daughter and myself nuts for months. What does the tackle rat say when he comes on? I like to eat a peice of cheese? It doesn't sound right I know. Maybe I should get a life, but every time it comes on we turn volume up on telly, but can never tell what that little rodent actually says. We will take on any theories. Cheers fab and Olivia

 had an awesome start to the year with some more awesome catches and some very deep freediving 18-27m trying to find that elusive red.

had a mate and his brother down from perth for the weekend so the goal was to try put them onto some good fish and marc wanted to give freediving a go with me. managed a nice bag of fish from a remote location. evan got his first grouper on rod and reel, ive picked up a 14ish kg one and some reefys abd marc has got himself a monster at 24.5kg for his first blue from 6m of water!!!! thats was the morning session, arvo we dived a common spot had a swim with a heap of marine life and seen a heap of blues all just cruising around the reef with lots of queenys and the usualy reef fish and seen a bronzie diving so the arvo goal was to get a shark. jimmy lost a monster, evan pulled hooks on 2 and i landed a decent male on 40lb and the little avet and sensor surf.
pretty dam stoked with it and my first time chasing sharks in a fair while.

hi
can you catch rainbow or brown trout in Harvey dam this time of year (jan 2014)??
is it worth having a go?

I have brought Tassie devil lures and am heading down to Busselton this week for 2 weeks, is Harvey dam the go for a trout or should I try blackwood out back of Busselton (sues road)

any advice from guys who have caught trout would be great!! thanks

 marron fishing starts tomorow and was thinking of going down to harvey or waroona and try my luck with some snaring, has any one got any tips and be willing to share some spots. also where abouts is the best place to get redfin in the dams 

Gday Peeps,

I am wondering if anyone can help me locate a tackle store in Austalia (Prefer a site sponsor) that sells either Nature Boys or carmate rod cases. I live in Albany and don't get upto Perth very often so any help locating one would be great.

Cheers

Ryan

 Im going to augusta in feb and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea as to where i could go fishing from a boat. I have not fished from a boar in that area much and would like help with good fishing areas. 

Thanks

 Isn't it strange how when the populous takes holidays that my cray pots go missing. I have covered the ground several times now searching for rope thinking that perhaps it was just some cowboys who have run over the ropes and cut them but I have come up empty handed. I stopped doing pots a few years ago because of the pricks out there, surley if you can afford a boat you can afford your own friggin pots. If anyone out there has taken someones pot in the past DONT if you've even contemplated it DONT FRIGGIN DO IT someone has had to work to pay for the bloody things.

Now I have gotten that of my chest I guess I'll go and buy two more pots.

 Hi, does anyone know if there's trout in the harvey dam? Heading there next week for the day to try catch some marron and was wondering if there's trout in there to? Also is harvey dam trophy marron?

Hi all,

Hope there is no problem with me posting this (mods?) but for those interested in Micro Jigging or just trying something new off the boat or shore then I would love for you to take a look at my informational page on Micro Jigging. It is something I started doing and have fallen in love ever since due to the massive variety of fish I have caught as well as some really nice fish on light gear. I was told about it by a friend and noticed it isnt really all that popular so I wanted to spread the word!

Also another excuse for more toys!

Check it out at: www.microjigging.com

For those with Facebook I have a page for posting your captures here: https://www.facebook.com/microjigging

 I have just moved to Onslow for work and would like some help or advice to where to go fishing. I have a 6m Polycraft and 200litres of fuel so have a decent range I can travel. Any help would be great, I am currently thinking about getting a tinnie as well as there seams to be endless options with all the creeks about. As you most probably know fuel in town is $2.15 and would like a couple of starting points and from there I will find my own spots.

I m also keen to chase a mulloway either from the boat or from the shore, just need a starting point on where they are.

 Anyone know/heard of if you can catch marron in the Canning and if so how far up?

 Hi all heading to Europe and the UK in Feb for 2 months which I'm pretty excited about.. 

Does anyone have any must fish places or types of fish while I'm over there??

Locked in is ice fishing in Northern Finland but that about it so far so I'm open to ideas..

Places I'm heading are Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Finland, Estonia, Sweden and then road tripping the UK and Ireland for a month

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated 

Cheers Belly

 Not quite fishing but has anyone got a recommendation for a camper trailer for a family of 4. Want one for next year when we come back to coral,bay.

cheers

 Hey guys, I heard wedge island access had been restricted after the stabbing on New Year's Eve. Does anybody have any info on whether this is true or false, or if it is alright now?

I was planning on a fishing overnighter with a couple of friends next weekend but if there will be too much hassle with the authorities guarding the area I may look elsewhere! Just takes a few assholes right?

as soon as this bloody wind stops howling were heading out to the trench for our first serious attempt at hooking a marlin or big YFT. Weve got plenty of large richter pushers in a few ddifferent colours, sizes styles and know how to use them (we think anyway) Have been doing a fair bit of research and notice trolling whole fish as swim baits seems to be more popular off queensland and other places for marlin, sails and many fisho's over there say they are way better than lures. Does anybody use them at the trench? How do you go with them? My understanding is that its quite an art to rig them properly but its something i'd make myself learn if it greatly improves landing a big marlin any fedback appreciated

 G'day,

A few mates and I are thinking of doing a 3 day trip up to Exmouth (flying up from Perth). We will be heading up in mid february which I know is Cyclone season :(.
We want to do as much fishing as possible and are thinking of getting some tix on a fishing charter.

Could anyone recommend a decent charter? I've seen mixed reviews all over the net mostly bad :(.

Thanks!

Hi all,

This year hasn't gone real well for me and my fishing time has been limited to a fraction above zero. However, with a bit of luck, and I may need that yet, I may get away for 10 days down to Denmark. If I'm going, I'm taking the boat (as if you wouldn't!). When you google around, it says it's good for fishing and crabbing and the same old, same old crap you get on general searches.

Anyone on here from Denmark or visit this time of year? I'm looking at taking my crab pots and deeper water fishing outfits. Happy to search my own grounds but any general advice if you've been there and done that would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance.
