Just wondering if anyone had any advice for fishing out of Woodman point? Heading down next week with the family (boys are 5 and 3) and camping, hoping to take the boat and catch a feed of crabs or squid?  It is a 14ft, forward steer ali with flat deck but the sounder is rubbish, only give depth and I use the Navionics app on my phone as the gps plotter.  General advice/locations obviously, don't need the secret spots... Just thinking of packing as light as possible and taking minimal gear. Thanks!  

Wouldn't want to get a leg snagged on a cray float, watch the video at http://www.nauti-craft.com/.  Very different.

Hiya All,

Any suggestions where you can get some mussels around the Perth metro area (and not from a shop!!)

clean and fairly user friendly to get to, any suggestions would be appreciated

thanks

 Was reading a couple of posts bout Epirbs with better locating systems etc and it got me thinking about mine... This came with the boat and I figured it was a decent one, but after reading about the differences in GPS between models etc I thought I'd ask... 

Mine is a gme 406 with 121 MHz homer... Does this have the good GPS that I've been reading about? It states that it is detected by global satellite system using cospas-sarsat, but is this the better system that is available? I've attached a couple pics. 

I know it's an olderish model but if anyone could tell me if I need to upgrade it to something better, it'd be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys

I just heard on the radio that a boat has come off its trailer at South Street I think they said hopefully no one from Fishwrecked

Cheers

G'day everyone,

Can anyone please give me a few tips on how to locate gutters along a sandy beach. I live in Singleton and have fished the beach there plenty of times chasing mulloway with no real luck. Do you walk out waste deep until there is a considerable drop off or do you mainly study how the waves are breaking? Sometimes if its an onshore breeze the water can be quite messy which makes it a little more difficult to suss out what's going on. Also how deep/big does a gutter have to be to take an interest to it?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ben

 Hey Guys

The lads im going up with already have the ballooning gear and have been 3-4 times before. Just want to get a heads up from a few people as whats the best gear I could use and if i need an updrade:

So far im using UglyStick 8ft, Saragosa 8000f 30lb braid with 60lb Black Magic Leader using lures

Any advice would be great

Thanks 

lady luck clocking up a few more creek fish than myself sat/sunday

had a bit of fun landing macks,trevors,queenies,and chasing cobia with manta rays out in the blue,the golden went hard on my callcutta400 and swallowed my one of my favourite lures.

landed few more barra last week with wirthy,loving the pilbara atm!

Just about to purchase a Lowrance HDS gen 2 7m,  has anyone got one, like them, hate them etc etc...Would rather the hds 8m but thats getting a bit ahead of the budget. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 Any one heading to Two Rocks on Sunday? will be heading there for my first time and wondering what to expect at the ramp (traffic wise)

Anyone looking for a bargain priced ex-military vessel:

I imagine some of those would be awesome out wide if they were gutted and had a little bit of work done to them...

 Hi,

I was just wondering what the best braid anyone uses for barra. I currently use 30lb Spiderwire and 30lb Power Pro. I havent had any dramas with those so far but I have just bought a Shimano Stella 4000SW from Oceanside Tackle (thanks heaps for the great deal Oeanside) and want to make sure that I have got a quality braid on it. It will be mostly used for flicking lures and plastics and some occasional trolling. Landed 2 nice barra yesterday up the creek. 

Thanks.

Just wondered if anyone has or had one of these. About a 700 sized baitcaster built first in 1981. Gold colour and forerunner to the Calcutta. What did you think of it???

Anyone have any tips of where to start with fishing jigs in the pilbara, looking to get into it and save room in the esky for beers and reds instead of bait. not to sure where to start with what weight jigs and style for fishing waters 40-60m any tips would be good...

I am heading up to Horrocks Beach for the first time at Christmas and was wondering if anyone could give me a bit advice. I am towing up a 5m ally with the thought of launching it off the beach at Horrocks, is this possible? If not then its off to Port Gregory I suppose. When I get out there what species would I expect to find?

Went out chasing kingies again last Tuesday. Had a ball catching around 40 fish. They stayed on the bite for hours.

Took the new gopro out and captured a bit of the action.

 shimano ultegra 14000 xtc - what are people thinking, good reel overall for landbased? cheers 

Hi guys,

I know there is already information on this topic but just chasing opinions/experiences of launching from fortescue river and also current condition of the ramp.
We will be going over to the 'bellos in January and will be launching a 26' boston whaler. It will be towed with a truck.

Is a launch from Fortescue river a feasible option? I have also heard of people launching from 40 mile?? Any info appreciated.

If it is not possible we will probably end up launching from Onslow, but to be able to save the 30 odd miles each way (fuel wise) would be a dream.

Cheers,

James

 Hi Everyone. Im house sitting in secret harbour and have snuck my fishing rods with me . Just wondering what the fishing is like of the beach and what am i likely to catch? Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Many thanks

 G'day,

I have been Game fishing in the Exmouth and Dampier areas for over ten years. I live in Albany and over the last few years have had the urge to get out wide and see if what I could raise from the depths off Albany and Denmark! I am interested to see if anybody else has tried this and if so how did you go? There has been Mackerel, Mahi Mahi and Cobia caught down here for at least the last 3 years could there be a run of Billfish we are missing out on?? Interested to know your thought!!

planning on going down to south mole this weekend and was just wondering if anyone has had any luck down there

cheers guys

Hi all.

I've got friends visiting from overseas and I would love to take them to catch some abalone down south (Busselton, Margaret River, Augusta etc). Nothing crazy, just off a reef like we do here in Perth during the season.

Is anybody able to share some good/popular spots for this? I'm not after any secret locations or hardcore diving spots, just simple, easy to get to, safe reef abalone.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All

We're off to Coal Mine Beach over Christmas and New years with the Polycraft.  Haven't been before and so I've been doing a fair bit of reading through the forums - thanks for the info.  Just wondering if anyone can get me started with a few spots fairly close-ish to the caravan park where the kids might be able to catch a few.  There'll be 4 kids from the two families and so the attention span is not long.

Thanks

Ben

Hi all . Have been going to Exmouth for the past 10 years chasing billies but next year the crew want to mix it up and try something new. Gt fishing was the pick but have no idea where to try . Do any of the islands in the gulf hold fish or do we need to venture to Peak or Long island . Have be told the Murons but not sure where to try , north island - south island east or west sides ?  Not Going until start of april next year and dont know if this is suitable time to try for them .

Thanks for any info

Cheers

Paul
