had a couple of bite offs last week as well as today, then up comes a f...... n/w blowie, batter up!!!!!!, hate to think these things hang around now, 21.5 degrees today, not much action, sea breeze was on the money shit bag early but then calmed off,a couple of skippy, a couple of big pike and some nice wrasse for Muldy, 2 eagle rays,a port jackson and a small shark, had a big sambo pinch a live wrasse at rhe surface,but they wouldn't play, 

has any one been having any luck walkin the flats scooping for crabs with the temp going to 37 on sunday be a nice way to spend the morning before it gets too hot!!

I need my old Mercury outboard serviced and boat valued for Club Marine - anyone know any good places SOR (I'm in Warnbro) that won't charge me an arm and a leg and won't try and sell me a new motor?

 I'm using rockhoppers when walking on reef and they've been great but pricey as the spikes wear fairly quick. As a cheaper alternative I just saw spike attachments to your running shoes costing about $17 posted. Anyone try them already and if so what are they like for gripping reef?

 I have just recieved a subscription to a fishing mag as a birthday present and with it came a free fishing reel which was an Okuma vella vl-30. Obviously it's not going to be very flash but just wondered if anybody else had used one for a while and what their thoughts on it were.

A bit of an off topic lads, but going away next week and just relised my 2kg has bottle is outta date, does anyone know where I am able to swap n go a small bottle like this?

Or am I better off just buying a new one and getting it filled?

 As I can imaging it would prob cost the same to get it re stamped/checked!

Cheers

Tim

Anyone seen/caught any recently metro?

Hey guys,

Just chatting to Dad about making my own pots as he used to own a cray pot factory back in the 80's.  He is recently retired and asked him if he wanted something to do he could make me a couple of pots.  He said that they used to sell pre-cut materials to the pros who would make their own replacements during the off season. Anyone know if this is still possible or am I better off looking out for some on the Gumtree or f/s here.  Looking at jarrah frame, pine slats, 1/2 to 3/4 size as pulling by hand.  Already have a couple of plastic ones that I have fitted bait baskets to but keen to upgrade to wood.

Thanks

 Trying to match a rod for my Thunnus 8000 running 50lb braid. I've looked at daiwa monster mesh/demon blood but like the terez as I think I would be able to feel more on the plastics. I fish everything from northwest snapper, bluebone to jewfish. Any advice would be appreciated my Price range is up to $300

We tend to see the divers smashing it at the moment, but anyone out there using pots and killing the pig?

Late notice i know, but anyone keen for a spot out with me tomorrow, ex woodies around 7:45am. Mainly around mewstones, Carnac, back by around midday/1pm?

Pm if interested.

Hi guys, im 15, its almost holdidays and ive only got one more set of exams then im done for the year :)

Ive been hitting up the river near zephers café, around to bicton baths using scorpions, blades and sp's. IM really having trouble getting flatties. Mainly I don't think im working my lures right.

Any info about what type of bibbed lures are good and how to retrieve them, as well as info on how to retrieve blades/vibes would be really appreciated. Also some basic locations around pt walter would be great to get me started as I cant drive (yet) and both my parents don't like fishing, so I gotta walk or ride. I ask this mainly because ive put hours and hours into fishing the flats east of pt walter along burke drive, but no luck, no hits, its too weedy and never seen anything other than mullet there.

I just really want to get my retrieves working well and get into my first ever flattie on lure. (been trying for years)

(and yes ive used the search bar and read all the latest threads :)
Thanks, Nic

 Hey guys, anyone been having a go at the crabs in the Swan lately? I've never personally tried for them in the river before but since Cockburn is closed still (correct me if I'm wrong?) I was wondered if it's worth trying the river this weekend otherwise it's a KG hunt in the sound. Any hot tips are also welcome on the swan crabbing, feel free to PM ;) 

thanks guys,

Ben.

 Hey

This will be my first time targetting mulloway, and thinking about heading to narrows bridge this weekend. 

Has anyone had any luck there ? Heard about a heap of tailor there. I suppose thats a good sign. 

Also what side do you usually fish on? any other advice about the spot would be greaat.

The government is buying back commercial gillnet licenses in Broome

I dont do much light tackle fishing up here in the Pilbara, but want to seriously give these whiting a crack on poppers.

My existing "squid reel" accidently got a saltwater christening by my missus, so I reckon I deserve to treat myself to a nice new reel.

I have read a bit about reels which lay the line for increased casting distance etc, but cant remember what was what.  My best option is to ask the experts.....

What reel do you think is the best for casting light lures as far as possible??

 Hi just what some advise on boat fishing in jurien bay I have savage 4.58meter fiberglass boat with a 70hp outboard on it, would like to know what to watch out for reefs etc or any spots people know of and if my boat will be big enough to go out to the two outer reefs. Cheers

 Hello all, I am on leave the last week of November and weather permitting planning to fish hard for Samson's and keen to explore the barges off rotto. Given the distance and the fact I haven't done this before I was wondering if anyone would be keen on a group venture? Don't want anyone's spots or anything ( don't think there are too many secrets). Wondered if there was anyone in the same situation and would consider a convoy/ group trip? 

My rig 5.75m Cruise Craft Explorer 150hp Yamaha, 160l of fuel. Idea would be similar capability rig meet and leave at the same time, catch a heap of fish, big day, come home etc

Just throwing it out there if anyone is keen, would also be a benifit as we could spread out once on location to find the action

Cheers 

long shot but does any one have a ripple fisher 575 they want to off load? or a site i can order one?

 Hi all,

heading to Quobba in a few weeks and wondering what braid most prefer to use up there. Always used power pro, fins or suffix but would be interested to know what others use and why. I like the idea of thinner diameter for casting but worried about that around the rocks. Any suggestions would be great.

cheers, Brad.

 So I'm stuck in Albany for a few days with a tacklebox and a four foot ugly stick.  Thought I might do a bit of landbased fishing if i get some spare time.  Can anyone tell me  a good jetty or rockwall to go off and what i'd be targeting?

Cheers

Tim

Ok steep point January
