Shore Catch is proud to be a sponsor of Fishwrecked again.  We are undertaking a refinement of our business, which has currently gained significant retail market acceptance, and will seek to obtain member’s views on commercial topics as we publish them over the coming months.

Part of the sponsorship negotiations with Adam was that we hold a “story of the month” competition as after all, Fishwrecked is, at its heart, a fishing site for sharing worthwhile experiences.  We genuinely believe Fishwrecked provides a valuable service to knowledgeable members of the Western Australian fishing community so please enter the competition when you have a good story, as it will be appreciated by many people.

Little Johnny, Belly Fish and Big John agreed to judge the monthly competition and no one could reasonably question their credentials.  The standard of the entries that were received for June was outstanding, and Scotto was certainly a worthy winner.

Shore Catch also holds an “internal” customer monthly photograph competition.  The winning entries for May and June, as judged by the expert panel, are shown below for your information.  It was good to see Humpback take out a prize for a photo he posted on Fishwrecked after purchasing our products for a trip away, and we hope to receive regular entries from members.

We trust our sponsorship will continue for many months to come, and thank members for your support.

 Haven't posted in a while but thought the following two catches were worthy.

First pic is a solid dhuy caught last thursday out north of Dunsborough.

Second pic is an early morning solo effort in the dinghy out in Geo bay.

Howdy,

I need a bit of advice regarding anchor rope, in particular using cray rope as anchor rope. The rope I do have currently is old and degraded and cant afford to replace today. I have cray rope and was wondering about the pitfalls of using it as anchor rope?

Is it due to no stretch?  I just want to get out tonight for a fish.

If I get a fish up, Ill try and do a report for the first time in a long time!

 Hi all,

Heading up with the family in 2 weeks to monkey mia, tossing up if to take the roof top tinny but a good feed of crabs hopefully is tqisting my arm. Is it worth having a troll along the coast as well as cant venture to far its only 3.6m tinny. Thanks guyz

Enjoy

My local paper has a good report on the following low life bottom feeders, Tang Sang Dang, Lee Ping Sui, Lianxiang Xaio and Lian Jiao Zhang were caught as they left their fishing spot in Christmas eve last year with 101 crabs, 96 of them being undersize not only that but they had a crab gauge with them. They were all fined $1000 + $4800 mandatory fine + court costs of $225.90

Then there were 2 men Alan Glyn and Bluker Sein Cho caught with 39 under size crabs some as small as 92mm both were fined the mandatory fine of $2150 +  $ 225.90 court costs.

And to top out the low life poachers we have 2 men and 2 women taking under size crabs this is the second offence for Hoag Duy Pham, Tu Ngoc Phan, Thai Ba Dao and Thi Thuy Le they were eaach fined $1500 + $225.90 court costs.

Just what does it take to teach/educate these pieces of human excrement to not take excessive and or undersize crabs.

out of all the above persons only one had the guts to front the court.

Words truly fail me to express my feelings towards these things, they are putting my (and your) grandkids  crabbing at risk I believe it is time to start jailing these things and then the message might get through to them not to do it.

Spleen vented !

I'm taking the family on a trip north in Aug/Sep and will be spending a few nights in Karijini. I stumbled across this old post: http://fishwrecked.com/forum/pilbara-redclaw

I called DPAW and they had no idea about red claw in any of the gorges and weren't aware if fishing for them was acceptable or not. They said it hasn't been asked before. Seemed strange. Just want to throw this out there and see if anyone has any info on this ?

Getting a few red claw isn't really in the plan, but if they are there - and I can help the environment by taking a few to eat - then I will happily oblige ! 

Thanks 

Mike 

Spots are now filled.
Hi all, some of my mates are heading up to Quobba at the end of July for 5 days with a fishing guide and there's one or two spots available if you're keen. Looks like an awesome trip.
Spots are now filled.

 
Hey guys, I'm quite new to fishing and would like to get some rod recommendations. The missus bought me the Stella 8000HG spooled with the new shimano Ocea 8 PE3 for my birthday and was wondering what rod I should pair it up with. I usually do bottom bashing near Mindarie and have a budget of 300-500 for the rod.

There was a similar post to this that I discovered on the forum but it was dated 2013 so was wondering if there are any new rod recommendations. Cheers!

Is it just me or does there always seem to be one common denominator in these cases ?

 Wow- Today at Myaree.

 But all good- Free Cleaning!

 hey guys, just a quick question, i need to pull the carpet up on my boat, it is stuck to the original fibreglass deck, any ideas on how i go about this please.

Do i need a heat gun to soften the glue first & then just  "pull" like a mad man ?

thanks in advance

 These are a few screenshots from my lowance sounder with a drop camera running through it. They are very crappy shots but they give you an idea of what is there. They are in around 65m and when I took them we had just got a couple of reds that filled our bag limit. Believe it or not the sounder screen was going off here and a mate caught another 3 reds about 30m away while I was mucking around with the camera. This is the only time I have actually seen rock or reef up there, usually just sand with a few sponges and things.It is amazing just how little ground there is and you do not see much fish except triggerfish leatherjackets, small sharks and other small unknown thing and shitloads of bait type fish. In one of the shots you can see the bait which is bigger than you normally see.

 Was looking at Marine Traffic and noticed all the fishing vessels (Shown on here in the light orangey brown colour) operating out from Perth. Anyone know what they would be fishing for? They're a long way out to sea.

 Mandurah boat shop has a cavalier pride for sale 4.8m 115hp evinrude ocean pro for sale. Now i haven't heard much about them and google searches have turned up little about the hull anyone had experience on these

 fellow fishos, 

i havnt been on here for a while.

im in the mix of off loading my beloved trailcraft, that i have had for 8 odd years.

i dont really know what source of advetizing is the best to sell a boat ? 

but hear is a brief description, 

ive spent a lot of money on it customizing it over the years. and it has always been looked after. 

595 center cab

hull is 2005. with 2 x 60 HP merch 4 stroke EFI that dont miss a beat. 

same year trailer that has had all new breaks bearings etc..

the boat itself , there is too much to list . comes with everyhting you need.  

fully set up for fishing and crayfishing capstan and tipper , also massive fuel tank that can get you any where -  fads and beyond.

great river boat too. or up north EXY easy reach  murion islands for the day fishing and beyond from exmouth marina or across the gulf and back. this thing doesnt runout out of fuel.

this is a great fishing boat but my young family is getting a bit older and they are ready to hit the ocean. Im in the need of something a bit more comforting for the 2 x young girls and my wife, oh yer and something i can still fish off 

my boat is going up for sale and i dont believe there is too many of these around . appreciate your comments on what you think it is worth, or if there is any interested buyers on here happy to make an offer ? 

im northern suburbs and for a genuiene interest im happy for you to come and have a look.  please contact me 0414958537. id rather a call or a text than a message on here as i dont check this site very oftnen . please leave a voice message also if i dont answer, as i dont return calls from missed call numbers with no voice messages sorry.

thanks heaps any advise or comments ill take on board  cheers Steve.  

 Saw this in canarvon yesterday. Not sure what sort of boat it is a300 on the back.

 After trying many different approaches too fix or at least reduce the amount of wind knots I've been getting. I came across a fix on you tube. (Silicone spray)  I was sceptical, but it works a treat. The line comes off smooth as silk, better distances and maintains the colour of your braid too. A small spray  and it's all good. I've used it on my expensive heavy stuff too for good results . Hope this helps.

Looking for an address for a bloke named Johno (Crawford Brandon Johno)

Me and a few mates need to have a chat to him regarding $40k worth of fishing and camping gear stolen from my place on Friday 6th March 2020.

Some of the items were last seen being loaded into his Silver Patrol by himself and a mate.

Was told to leave to police but they have stuffed it so I'm fairly sure me and some mates will be able to get him to recall where the goods are.

He was warned on messenger but has ignored it.

If anyone know his address I beleive it is in the Coogee or surrounding areas you could please PM it to me.

Thanks

Enjoy

 I used to love the reports on the current "market" leader or best reels we used to get routinely on this site.

But havent had anything I have noticed for ages.

I mostly use spin reels and still have a very good functioning Stella SW 8000 but would hardly use that down here in Mandurah, but it got a hammering in karratha.

Now using Shimano Stradic CI4's in a range of sizes for offshore Demersal, Whiting and YF Whiting flats lure fishing.

Just would love to here some critique on the types again.

 Hi all,

Done some searching but after a bit more specific advice regarding trolling, lure selection etc for upcoming trip.

What size/depth lures work best for tuna and macks up there? How far out do i need to go behind the reef for some decent demersals and what placcys/jigs work best(obviously not in the sanctuary). Will just be me and the misses in a 4.6 CC and never taken a boat before so want to be somewhat conservative in where i go..

Any other tips please let me know! Hopefully be able to reach the surf this time with a boat too!

Cheers Legends

  Hi Have a Barron Sportsman and have a pod attached to the back . My question is during lay over in winter the boat fills up with water .

  There where bung holes under boat but someone has filled them in . Should I put in new bungs and does this help over winter months ?

  Noticed the the pod on the back has one bung hole under it . I close it when I am at sea is this right  ?

  Read on some sites that the pod should fill with water . Confused as to why ?

  Any help ?

  Cheers 

 Couple nice ones  after the storm

 In case you go for walks around parts of the river at night, there are a lot of people targeting undersize crabs at present . Many are wading in the river with torches at night in the shallows , some are at the jetties. I've contacted fisheries a couple of times, plus taken photos of them, and their cars. I've warned some after taking pics , so they put them back..

I think crabs are breeding now , so moving around ....bloody annoying people going for so many tiny crabs

Hi guys, headed up to monkey mia early August for the week going to take the boat up there. Fairly new to boat fishing and not chasing spots but if anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated. How have people gone with boat parking we are in a cabin not sure if can park alongside. Have used the search function to death seems most people head out from denham. Thanks guys your a wealth of knowledge.
