Hi guys,

Going to be travelling back to gerro just after easter and thought I'd throw some rods in the car.  Havent been back in a long time - Anything happening at the moment?

Got a 4WD so was thinking maybe some beach fishing south of gerro (remember fishing there with the old man 20 years ago :) ).

Any advice appreciated...

Heh guys,
Bit of advice please
Want to try some anchored fishing around the five fathom bank out behind Garden Island.
Should I fish along the inside or outside of the bank and what sort of depths / features.
Was thinking of fishing the outer edge of the bank but unsure of depth that can anchor in comfortably?
Also is there any risks anchoring in this area with waves
Cheers for any tips.

 Going up to lancelin/Wedge anyone been up recently re beach conditions chasing mullas narrow neck to wedge through the bombing range taken the cheese and kisses and youngens , their shit at digging.

The public mooring at the coral patches is inside the sanctury, does this mean you cannot stay the night there with fish on board??

hi guys

if there is any diesel mech's on here that wouldnt mind a bit of a brain pick!!

send me a pm with your number and i will call you when it suits, its got to do with a injector pump and injectors.

thanks in advance

Hi everybody,

This morning i was fishing the incoming tide for Mulloway and on my second cast i got a big hit from one of these fantastic fish!!

This is my first big Mulloway and i was so so so stoked with it.

Can somebody tell me the name and number of the guy that works at Murdoch Uni so i can send him my frame?

Cheers guys.

Gday All,

I have a quick query - prob a stupid one and easy to fix, but being very new to boating i am still relying on GPS for positioning.

The other day i was out in the middle of the river, yet the GPS was showing me going over the bank, any suggestions of how to fix?

My GPS system is a Humminbird 97 Matrix series.

Thanks

Gday all

Just bought my first boat so now im in the market for some insurance. Who are you all using? and who would be the best?

cheers

Heading up there in a few weeks time, bit of a long story but will mainly be stuck to landbased. I know its a fairly obsure/specific location, but if anyone has any suggestions of whats worth going for and/or where, that'd be much appreciated. May also take a speargun, tho I'm very amatuer and can only dive to maybe 6m.

cheers.

Hey guys,

I'm heading up to Blow Holes beach on Friday and am staying there for a week, will be with people who have been going up there for a long time and have a 'shack' on the beach which I believe is at the south end? Just wondering what the reports are like at the moment from anyone who has been fishing the area?! They have a boat which we will take at everyday, weather regarding though. I've heard that the beach is quite a calm bay as it is surrounded by a reef system, so wondering if there is any point throwing mulies off the beach at night for a bit of fun?

Thanks! Any comments much appreciated.

has anyone successfully slide baited liveys and caught mulloway or anything worth a mention other than sharks?

Hey guys,

Im heading up to West Moore Island in a month and have got most of my gear sorted but want to find a casting rod to match my Catalina 4500

Currently have 50lb braid on it looking at a rod to throw poppers for gt's etc off a boat.  Already checked out a few rods but they seem a bit stiff was hoping to get something with a little bit of finesse in the tip to possibly work some plastics/lighter lures as well.

Any help greatly appreciated, Budget $200-$300

(also anyone been to west moore this year?)

Cheers

 Hello all. I have asked this question to a couple of members on here but now will put it out to the wider audience to see if anyone has had personal experience with this. I'm still doing my home work and want to get it right. I want to put a DF70 on the rear of my 4.75m Quintrex Bayhunter project boat. The weight of this is 155kg compared to the DF60 of 104kg. I have been told it's possible to put the 70 on but want to make absolutely sure. Are there any Gurus who can steer me in the right direction. Cheers Andy

 Heading just north of Two Rocks for a fish this easter...does anyone know of a good place & whats on the bite lately? ?

Greetings all,

I`m having a boat shipped up to Samson from Perth soon and I`m a bit concerned about damage from rocks and shit while its on the truck. Does any one know who does the plastic shrinkwrap in the metro area.

Cheers,

Wayno.

GT Fever in the Whitsundays is a Giant Trevally catch and release Tournament.

Located in the Whitsundays QLD which has one of the largest population of GT's in Australia.

Knowing this is not for every one but there is a die hard fraternity of GT anglers who view this site I thought I would post as an information only thread.

This year will be the inaugural tournament and all are welcome.

Breifing is friday the 3 rd of May at the Airlie Beach Game Fishing Club QLD.

Fishing will commence Saturday morning and cease sunday afternoon (Times TBA).  

There will be a number of different categories and the rules are nice and simple.

Catch and Release Comp with fish being measured on a brag mat (Wet) picture taken and then released points given for length (Nose To Fork).

Min size GT 60cm.

Fish are only eligible if they are caught on artificial lures (No Bait).

Hooks are Barbless.

Any line class or type may be used. 

There Will be three categories.

Biggest (Longest) GT and Runner Up.

Most GT's landed by an individual and runner up.

Champion Team (most GT's divided by number of anglers on boat) and runnner up team.

Entry will be $50 which covers a snag in a bag on the friday night breifing, a solid meal during the Sunday night presentation and the rest will go towardds the trophies etc.Its important to note this event is not about the cash prizes or big prizes...its about having a bit of fun.

For further information contact Ash Mathews via email ashskip@hotmail.com

well its only taken about 6months, but I have finally secured a fifo job. in training as we speak and will be for another 2 weeks and then its off to Yandi(rio tinto). I will be doing power line construction in a variety of machines. only prob is the 4/1 shift, but to get a start had to take it. its gunna be hard not fishing as much but when im home I will hammer it as much as possible. so my question to you lot is..... how to keep sane in the 4 weeks with no fishing?? and how many times do you FIFO's come home to shitty weather and get no fishing at all? I have got myself a laptop for site, i cant miss out on the F/W stuff, i would go round the twist totally. cheers ron edit; had to can my exxy trip as well, had to choose between the job or exxy.....the job won!

 Hi guys,
Just after your thoughts, but do fish get less aggressive in winter?

Just a trend I seem to have come across is the number of fish i spook/follow in winter seems to be a lot higher in winter than summer on lures. 

Cheers, Andrew

 Just picked up a shimano 8000oc reel paired with 8-10kg beastmaster spin rod. What would you recommend as line choice?

 I'm heading up to broome this weekend and booked a charter with Baradict. Guys name is Kurt.

i have heard good things. Has anyone been on this charter.

Hopefully we get some good fish ill post pics on my return...

 Hey guys I'm planning another trip to Kalbarri from April 10-14. Been there a few times before but this time I'm taking up my 18 foot pacemaker. I'm aware of the dangers of the river mouth but as this will be the first time I've had the boat up there I'm not really sure on where to start fishing, so I was hoping someone might be able to help me out a little. I'm not asking for gps marks, but just some general areas to start looking. I'm hoping to target tuna and macks while trolling and the normal demersals bottom bashing. If anyone could please give me a heads up it would be much appreciated.

Edit: If anyone could give me any info as to what weather to expect for April would be good also.

Cheers, Jarrod

 Hi I'm in the market for a Hobie, just wondering were I could pick one up in the south west W.A?

Hi all planning trip next week to jurien, ive not been there before im taking my 16' quinny with us, is the weather up there more suited to a larger boat. how far out do you really have to go out to catch pinkies or dhuies?dont need gps locations,  any feedback would be appreciated.

Went ot the E Shed at 7: 35 met some great guys caught some scalies but them on as livies and casted out and waited i was catching some livies and talking at the same time i was talkin when my rod went of i picked my rod and striked then the fish woke up and it ran i had a spinfisher  penn 850 and the fish almost spooled me it went straight through everybodies line one of the guy's took over as it had almost spooled me it finally broke but did not mind because it was my first run. i rigged up again on a dead scalie made as a butterfly biat i casted out and waited. i had just heard that there was a 14kg mulloway caught of north mole and the current started to run so i thought  the mulloway would be starting up i was just about to pick up my rod when something toook it and it fell in the water i was so sad and if anyone finds a 10ft rod and a penn spinfisher 850 i would be very grateful if someone contacts me with it but 99% choice i won't get it back. Straight after i lost my rod one of the guys caught a 10 kilo mulloway it was great fun and i am definatly going next weekend!!!

hey fishos im planning on going to e shed in fremant this week and i was wondering if there are good fish hanging around

Twice this year I have had a pattern with teasers cut off by another boat cutting across the stern. It does not take much of an effort to stay back +30 metres.

Why is this such a hard concept to grasp? 

It took bagloads of effort to refrain from action/comment when the clowns pulled up along side me at O/Reef later that day.

So Mr Grey Rhib with the pirate flag, count ya blessings that I ended up having a good day.....and you owe me a new Witchdoctor.

I have just come across another post where someone is trying to sell an item and some of the "know it alls" on this site have decided to derail his ad.

If you have any helpful advice you would like to offer to someone selling an item, use the correct protocol and send them a PM.  If the item is too cheap, too expensive, who cares. It is not up to individuals to make a hero of themselves.

Adam, could you please look into placing a stick on top of the for sale section clearly stating that posters are not to negatively comment on for sale items. Unfortunately this type of behaviour is getting to common and it gets me riled up.

If you think my stand point is wrong, feel free to reply and we can start up a discussion on the matter. For those who agree with me, let Adam know that you feel the same.

End of rant...for now.

PS: Bad manners $hit me to tears.
