hey every one just wondering where people are fishing tonight?

Seeing as the demersal ban is nearly over, and the chase for DHUIES will begin in earnest.

What is your favourite way of catching them and with what bait.

I use live herring but am going to start jigging for them this year. I have a couple of packets of Mcarthy's in 6" baby elf and red mullet, and 7" hot orange, chartruese pearl and the glow bullhead minows.

But i am pinning my hopes on this thing of beauty.

I want to get a spotlight for my boat but unsure of which way to go. My boat is a 4.7m trailcraft runabout and I want to get a spottie to do more night fishing. I don't know if I should get a fixed mount one or a handheld. Leaning towards a handheld but What are the pro's and cons?
Next is deciding between led or halogen. I have dual batts so I don't know if power consumption will make much of a diff?
Any recommendations?

Cheers

Just after an idea on how you guys rig up when trying to catch skippy from a boat. And any other tips you may have.

Cheers

hi guys i want to no what is your weirdest catch?? the fish you caught on the wrong gear at the wrong place??

mine would have to be after catching mahi mahi all day at the fads we took off back to the fourty metre mark for duhies dropped down and caught another mahi mahi quiet strange and havent caught another mahi mahi around perth in that depth of water since!

Something happens during a night fish and a few Beers! This case an idiot (me) foolishly stepping on the Dropshot in a pitching sea. Fool but thems the breaks. Now I have a lonely Sara 5000 and would like some opinions regarding the best choice for the reel.

Any help appreciated.

Enjoy

hi everyone, im heading up to coral bay over new years and was just wandering if anyone has fished out there before or knows of some spots to try? i have a 5 metre centre console i am taking up. any info would be great. thanks everybody.

Who is going jigging this sunday. Im hopin i can push my uncle to go again haha although he gets tired quick. Usually tired from the piss the night before :s. If he is not going im hoping some one will have a deckie spot :) a week without fishin and i feel miserable :).

hi guys just a quick one to say how good the service is at all boat business, earlier this year i imported a seafox 257 centre console and although an awesome boat (at a very good price ) the wiring and some other items left a little to be desired, so i took the boat to Maz, and Quentin and got them to check it over and come up with a solution , in the end i had the whole boat re wired , all new swithches,fuses a third batteryand the new isolation setup ,stereo,and a full array of l.e.d. lighting put in along with a new deckwash pump and bait tank pump, the guys did the whole job in a week and what a magnificent job they did ( at a very reasonable price )i can now go anywhere in complete confidence. well done quinnie and all boats    cheers

.

Hey guys,

Im over in perth for 3 weeks from Melbourne. Looking to do some fishing. Can anyone suggest a good charter company? Is there any charters that do shark fishing at night? because I will be working night shift so will be easier to do a night charter for me.

Cheers

There is some very interesting reading here, you just need time to explore it   :-{

A DECADE OF DISCOVERY
2,700 scientists
80+ nations
540 expeditions
US$ 650 million
2,600+ scientific publications
6,000+ potential new species
28 million distribution records and counting

These numbers only begin to describe the scope of the Census of Marine Life, a 10-year international effort undertaken in to assess the diversity (how many different kinds), distribution (where they live), and abundance (how many) of marine life—a task never before attempted on this scale.

Hi folks,

Had planned on going up past Leeman for a few days camping & fishing this coming Mon/Tue/Wed night. Looks like rain might be coming.

Just hoping for a quick brainstorm on places to go that are relatively isolated / quiet for a LB adventure. Preferably within four hours or so of Perth. Was planning to target baitfish and sharks - prob try for a mulloway and tailor too.

Cheers,

Buschy

Look out, the sharks from the barges are spreading! Had a poor innocent sand whiting taken from me right under the boat by a 6 ft bronzie (I think it was a bronzie?) yesterday out from GI. We might have to close the whiting fishery down if this continues.

Hi all just wodering who is going to the barges/wrecks on saturday , providing the weather is reasonable me and the boys are going out friday night to stock the bait tank with the ever reliable  live snook /herring and then hitting the sambos on saturday well be heading to some southern spots again till the boys have had enough then probably going to the northern aggs again to tangle with another big bitie !i'll take the shark pics myself this time if we get another big one to the boat and post a report sat night /sunday   i'll see yous out there    cheers (hope no one gets pulled overboard again as i can"t spare another outfit LOL!! and for those that were interested club marine covers reels up to $500 and rods the same no coverage on braid so in the end they are sending me 500 for the stella 269 for the tcurve 769 less 500 excess(that sucks ) so i get a cheque for $269.00 for the lost outfit $1500 worth , but i suppose its better than nothing!!  cheers

so i thought id have a go making my own wind ons....

got some 80lb dacron, managed to splice it 5 or so times leaving a small loop, passed the threading needle through one leg of the dacron and out near the bottom splice, passed the other leg through the threading needle but now i cant get the second leg back through the inside of the first. I have been trying for a couple of hours, broken the threading needle, yelled and swore at it, went n had a beer, then came back and yelled and swore some more. cant get it....

it seems when the second leg is essentially doubled by passing it through the needle eye then trying to pull the needle  back through it becomes too thick to pass through the inside of the first leg.

Please, what the hell am i doing wrong?

Hey all.

I was thinking about getting a combo for flicking light lure around for bream, flathead, whiting and thats sort of thing and was thinking about getting as stradic Ci4 2500 and getting a nice light rod.

I was just asking for peoples advice about the reel as ive heard good things but also bad things about the reel. How many people like this reel? Has anyone had any bad experiences with it?

Cheers

Danno

just wondering if $500 is a decent amount to spend on a fly combo, this will mainly be used for trout etc, and i'll give bream a go too..

what would people suggest for that range? i can bump it upto $600 if the difference is really that big.

cheers.

Gday i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction fro getting myself a head torch. Are the expensive ones worth the $ or do i get a cheapy? If so where do i get one? I am looking to get one for this weekends overnighter.

Any advice would be great and thanks in anticipation

hi guys, im in the market for a new jigging rod for this sambo season and im not sure on what to get, the reel im using is a 10,000sw with 60lb frog p.e and ill be running pretty tight drag so i need a nice rod that can handle it and put some hurt on the fish but i dont want it to be a complete broomstick. ive been looking into the smith amj rods but there are so many different models i cant decide which is best. the models ive been looking at are the s52ex, s56m or the 52m. Id like to have a nice curve on the rod and that i can comfortably fish with all day, if anyone has any of those models or any advice on which one to get that will be great.

Does anyone know of any flatties around on the stretch between Mt henry bridge and canning bridge?

Thanks, Andrew
