Trying to get off shore flares all BCF stores are out of stock waiting for them to arrive . Any one know where I can get them at BCF club price or near to it . 

 Full of sharks yesterday arvo, caught and released  5 and pulled the pin, all about a metre long

 I know ali boats dominate the new trailer boat scene in WA but who do you think makes the best glass boats locally 17-25 foot?

 G'day brains trust. Anyone here launched at Boat Harbour or One K at Ningaloo? Have a 4.5m Quintrex and Honda 60 and wondering if its possible. Cheers 

Water tempertures seem reasonable, but not seeing or hearing much inshore Metro Mack action.

We thrashed the water to foam last week, from Hillarys to Mindarie, and didnt see a thing. Not even any birds working in close. Anyone else had any joy?

I see they have cancelled again . That will save a fair few of them

 Hi Legends 

I'm new to this stuff so please be gentle hahaha.

Some blokes at the pub reckon half the scallops you buy from the shops are just circles punched out of stingray flaps? 

Any truth to this???

One not to play with . From local farm . Best set I’ve seen in years . Took few hours to skin head out , clean . Ect Good Outcome .

HI Guys,

Well we have just returned from our annual week camping in Monkey Mia
We had a few windy days but still managed to get out to the first channel most days for an hour or two
Luckily for us that was all we needed
Managed to get all the usual suspects, lots of school Mackeral, blue lined - Black Snapper, estuary cods, sharks off the beach, my son is 6'3 and wanted one bigger then him - job done
Big gold spot first drop of the trip which I originally called for a shark

Well we didn't travel more than 3 miles in our 4.8 m boat and whilst some larger boats headed round the west, we managed more than most on the fillet table

We do have our next trip in April to Exmouth coming up after last year driving up setting up camp and being told to evacuate due to the cyclone
Hopefully we have more luck this year

Just after some help with Exmouth
We are staying at Yardi Creek Caravan Park
Will try and get the boys onto a real mackeral, and hopefully a few good bottom fish

Any advice will be great, not really fished up there before and with our boat wont be heading to far outside the reef
Happy to trade a few MM spots if anyone is keen
Even a spot near Tandabiddi for some big squid, doesn't really matter as long as the boys are catching something, that was the best part of Monkey Mia

Thanks in advance, looking forward to Exmouth

Cheers Coach

 Hi all just chasing some advice. We gonna be in Jurien bay for easter. Plan is one day to head down to lobster shack cervantes for lunch, smash down a few crays with some lobster lager then troll the 20 odd km's back to jurien with a few deep divers back along the outer reef looking for mackies on the way home. Question is - am i able to pull the boat up on the beach next to lobster shack. Would prefer if i can see boat from front of lobster shack but anywhere as close as possible will do. Are there any areas i can go to  cheers for any advice

 Hello all,

Thinking of a trip out to the river this weekend in the boat.  Potentially a bit of evening trolling for tailor and then dropping a line for mulloway.  Moon seems to be good and the tide at night will be perfect.

Would a good area be around the Perth waters or the deeper areas in Mosman's/Blackwall?  Thanks in anticipation.

Enjoy 

 Finally done talking and having a crack at my dreams and starting a fishing charter based out of Broome. Will be taking bookings starting around Easter.

6.5M Maurtech 2C can go to 30nm out. Mostly sportfishing, eco tours.

All fishwrecked members will get 5% of bookings

Slowly winning. Blocked of half backyard . Square plastic coated mesh I put down few months ago seems to be helping. Only I area where I pegged of today .(GUR). Grand opening in a month . At least I have a lawn again, mmm river probably has different idea

Just in case my boys think tailor not good enough for them I done some robbo for them. Mate gave me some yesterday. I don’t get it that often , but in my books texture/taste and the clearness of fillets are world class quality.

 Took the boat down to my folks on the canals in Mandurah over Christmas and got the kids to have a go dropping some nets and chasing some crabs.

After a couple of pulls and throwing back undersize crabs we managed a decent male and called it, cooked the single crab up and had little miss eat her first crab that she'd caught, pretty sure shes hooked now :)

Hey guys.
looking to take the kids crabbing on Friday morning in the swan, probably around Matilda bay. Anyone been catching in the swan lately? Or am I wasting my time? Also is it still a case of earlier the better? Kids are early risers, but sunrise may be pushing it!!

 Picked up this shovel this arvo. 

took half herring . Power in these

fish is unbelievable . Pull a tiger 

backwards. Cheers guys

 Hi Guys and Gals

Just a quick report on the 2022 marron season so far. Opening day was a success. My son dropped his nets in at 12 and pulled his first net at 12.20. He rang me and said 'I've already got five sized ones' I thought he meant out of his six nets, but no, this was just out of his first net. I told him to ring again after pulling his six nets which he did. 'Dad I'm bagged out' this was at 12.30. He had gone with his old school teacher and her husband who had never caught marron before, they also got their bag and were extremely happy getting them. I think we have two more addicted marroners.

I was busy getting the yard ready for our new pool so couldn't go at lunch time. Me and a few mates went Saturday night to a forrest dam we go to and we all bagged out. Plenty around at the moment so get into it.

Choc.

Good old smiling jack . Got few real good ones . Lost some bigger models. Jumping and throwing lures . Few for dinner in panko crumbs tonight .

 How many people on here have caught COVID from contact with all the shit imported tackle everone is selling now?

The latest trend seems to be selling imported crap at premium prices like it was made locally - like a painted jighead with shit hooks tied with string is worth $30???

I dont want to pay for crap and I really don't want to pay for crap with a side order of COVID!!!

If you blokes keep buying this up I reckon we're all rooted even if our Premier does a better job than God at protecting us from ourselves.

Is there anyone making quality gear in West Oz any more that isn't contaminated with Wuhan herpes virus???

Hi All,

I was just checking the expiry date on my flares (pack of 4 offshore) and noticed they orange flares had a different expiry date to the red flares

• orange flares manufactured 12/19 and expire 12/22
• red flares manufactured 09/19 and expire 03/23

I was reminded to check when I saw the safety sign at the boat ramp a few days back - not knowing that having different expiry dates is the norm, I quickly checked (only the red flares) and therefore assumed both orange and red would expire 03/23 - it wasn't until I got home and checked again, that I noticed the red flares would actually expire 12/22.

Lesson for me (and others newish to boating) is to check dates on both flares as they will differ.

 Heloo noobs an sea dog

  Went to pick up some gaer driving Stirling Highway . The boats that I passed there where 3 of them on the road and not tied down . 

 I'm seriously considering selling the big duck as I'm thinking of getting an even bigger duck to spend some bulk time cruising the Coral Sea. 

I've talked to the guy who built her and she's an 88 build Sharkcat / Noosacat. Sharkcat built the hulls and Noosacat did the hull bonding and Fitout ( strange but that's how they rolled back then) 8.5m long.

Shes been refitted for long distance cruising with comfort in mind, all the ladies will appreciate the creature comforts. 

Amy Louise has been in my care for the last two years and I've only put two ( yes two ) hours on the motors. The reason behind this is that she's undergone a full refit from stem to stern which has taken about 1300 hours of my time and an unholy amount of loot. Refit was undertaken due to a leaking fuel tank and if you're going to be removing decks to put in new tanks why not rebuild the whole boat?.

All windows out, stripped, rebuilt, new tint, windows rebedded. All topsides re painted with International Toplac. Two new 360 litre fuel tanks, two 100 litre water bladders. Main decks removed and replaced, all new furniture and cushions / beds inside, toilet and shower cubicle on rear deck added. Hot and cold water with a hot water storage tank and Heliatos solar water heater. Twin gas burner with grill, two 2kg gas bottles, dual gas sniffers with auto cutoff solenoid. 130 litre 12v Vitrifrigo fridge freezer. Four 110ah batteries with twin 200w solar panels, Victron solar controller. All new wiring in boat. Simrad Nss Evo 3 12 inch screen, hydraulic auto pilot, 1kw wet box transducer. Icom radio, Cel-fi phone booster. Seperate fresh and sea water deck wash systems. 

Bigger than King size main bed up front in seperate cabin. Twin 1.9m couch bunks in saloon. Full window shades exterior. Brand new bimini cover, brand new flybridge storage cover. Two monster storage lockers under the rear deck, I'm 6'4 and I can get in em and shut the hatches.

Brand new Duralite 6 ton trailer ( been wet once ) Ringfeder ( not Pintle ) hitch. Rogers willex truck suspension, air brakes. You can have the boat fully fueled and still be legal. Boat weighs 3.8 dry trailer is 1500kg. Mitsubishi Fk 415 truck with 15000kg gcm. Truck is an oldie but a goodie, full air system for brakes and ringfeder hitch. Bimini stores in truck for transport, needs oversize ( height only ) permit for transport.

Twin Mercury Verado 175. One 1160 hours the other 700 hours. One complete spare motor on crate, good for parts, ingested some water, seized super charger yet motor still turns. Could be be re built. 
 

She's a flybridge model with no controls down stairs.

Boat presents as new $165k for turnkey package. Currently sitting in Carnarvon.

Would  anyone know any history on an aluminium centre console model that's called Osprey 28? I don't know the builder or anything else or where built. Looked at one the other day, it was used south coast commercial abalone yrs ago. Last had an inboard Volvo diesel with duoprop leg arrangement. Very big solid deep vee hull . 
cheers

   G'day legends.

Ii been doing up a 5m Quintrex I bought a few years ago.

Got my hands on a 75hp 2003 model oil injected Mariner but the cowling has no decals on it. Dealers have quoted me over $400 plus $150 to have then put on. 

Anyone know where I can get them cheaper and I will put them on.

Cheers

 Anything in em ??

Enjoy
