Just a quick question: My misses has been driving the "SPESS RIG" latley which is a white triton GLXR duelcab with spess plates and a nice big fishwrecked sticker on the back. Anyway she has been telling me that she has been getting shit loads of people waving latley and 1 guy she's seen a couple of times in a white small ute (her discription) waving flat out. North of the river around the marangaroo, landsdale, greenwood, joondalup area. Sorry but she keeps telling me but i have no idea who it is and hopefully someone can tell me! hahahaha I know streetfighter sees it regulary but who is it??????? Cheers Chris.

Hi all,

Going to Brisbane on the East Coast at the end of this week and will be there for three months. Anyone have any idea what bites there? Am staying near Sunshine Coast Airport. What gear should I bring? I gotta travel light. Stuck on land unless anyone has any ideas on how to get me on a boat :)

I know there can't possibly be any forums for the East Coast that is anywhere as good as this one, but would be nice if someone could sneak me a link ;)

im going back to jakarta at the end of the year...i got a boat there...wat sort of tackle do i need there...and wat fish there is to catch??..dog tooth tuna perhaps??..pm me if anything;....juz loading up my rods and tackle's.......wat game rod is suitable???ty

In desperate need of a spin combo to fish 20/30lb. Will be used mainly for livebaiting for barra and perhaps a bit of bluewater work in the off season. Thinking of a Sustain/Twinpower 4000. My question is will these handle 30lb or would they be better suited to 20lb? Which rod would suit nicely? Thinking of a Starlo Stix Snapper Spin (5-8kg).

g'day guys need help servicing my CVZ 203. Can't seem to work out how to remove the right hand side plate (probably really easy but it's got the better of me atm)... I've removed the left hand side plate, handle nut, handle, star drag & bearing washer as well as the cast control cap. I've loosened R/S screw B (see schematics)... but can't seem to work out where to go from here.

What can I use to clean parts (safely) and what parts need to be oiled/greased..??

Anyone (h0ju you're included ya bitch!) interested in heading up to moore river (30mins north of quinns) to hit up some of the good sized bream there?

I wanna try and get a crew together to trip up there, should be awesome! Yes I know the weather isnt ideal, its the only time I can get off work (due to weather) but its well sheltered along the river so it should make for some good fishing...

Also the fact that theres no tide in the river, and the fact that the average bream (so ive been told by numerous people) size is like 31+cm so if ya interested, do reply and we'll see if we can organize a carpool before then or something...

Does anyone have any fool hardy methods of cleaning squid in a jiffy but gets all those annoying skin bits off? I have a method of grabbing the backbone cartiledge and pulling almost all of the guts out, then make a small cut under the wings which allows for most of the outer skin to be peeled off. But theres always niggly bits left over that take ages to clean. Has anyone got a technique that works for getting them clean easily?

Does anyone know when this years snapper fishing closure in the sound starts this year?

Had a look on the fisheries website but they have still got the details for the last one up.

im heading down to north mole sat morning...any1 wants to join me???wat could i encounter at this time of the yr???thanks..pls do pm if ur shy.....lol joking...

Headed down to east perth today due to the weather being crap and me and tyson off work...

I had decided after reading a few articles and whatnot and was absolutely detirmined to catch fish on lures/hb's and tyson was happy to give the tweeds another go out...

So we got to east perth, walked the banks for a bit till I hit some structure with a pipe and whatnot...

I started with a strikepro pygmy, was not getting much and tyson then started pulling fish in after I burleyed up (of course with spess' awesome shit)  and the fish were on the bite. Wasnt too sure on tides, actually ill check the tides now.......

Ah, awesome, it was a good 5 hours before the low... so well in the middle of the gushing tide...

Anyway, tyson was landing fish, as per normal and i kept me head down and tried not to let it bother me too much...

I switched to a baby vibe after a while of using the suspending pygmy with maybe 1 hit? but i noticed a good sandbar past the pipe so I walked up using the baby vibe...

In a few casts, I was ON! pulled the sucker in and it was a 31cm beauty! Nice and heavy!!!

After releasing it, I hooked up another 2 times however, lost both fish, the second though, i had nearly landed and got a good glimpse of it under the water, would have been quite good size, if not bigger than my first so I was absolutely stoked!~!!!!

Tyson, though, caught 7 fish total, his max was only 28... so im happy with the performance given, simply because I dont smell like bait, and im getting in some good hours with lures and I feel a heap more stoked and confident now!

Anyway thats my news for today... cant wait to get back out there and hit some snags or banks with the HB's..

Although, maybe a trailing question for this thread would be... Ok i was using a snad nod retreive for the vibe, however, im pretty clueless with how to work a suspending HB for bream... would love to nail that! Anyone know what the best retireves for suspending HB's are>?

hi guys

i have just rescently purchased a 4m front steer tinny for a spot of fishing on calm days. i fitted up a Navman fishfinder and lights ect and I was thinking of heading out from either Mindarie or Ocean Reef early this sunday morning. I am new to the whole ocean tinny fishing scene and i was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions i have.

how far out from shore would you need to travell to hit 35 -40m worth of water?

is there any spots metro area that are well protected from the wind that you can land a half descent catch without having to travell to far?

my tinnie has a 30hp Johnson on the back so power isn't too bad for it's size but i don't want to travell too far incase the weather turns sour and i can't get back in.

i know no one is going to surrender their prize winning spots but any help would be greatly appreciated. it doesn't have to be north of the river either, happy to travell pretty much anywhere metro to get some nice cruizy fishing spots where i would have half a chance of getting a feed for the table.

hope to meet some of you on the water some time soon

hey guys ill be heading down to e shed if anyone wants to join me gonna set out a few live baits see if anything will hit them :D should be good

Does anyone know where to get a prop rebushed south of the river and know a rough price??

Well what did the rugrats give you today was it the usual socks,jocks,and hankies or did you get something special
My two really out did themselves especially since one is 4 and the other is two,lovely hand made card,a pen holder that the daughter made at school,a nice soft plastics combo and a Tomtom naviigation system for the car,geez they use their pocket money well,didnt think they got that much

Have it on good authority that bundegi boat ramp still hasn't started yet. The machinery that has been seen at the boat ramp is a driller, but it is only being used to drill down and determine how deep the rock locate below the surface is. This rock will serve to house the pillers for the ramp. One problem though, the rock is located 16 meters below the surface so it's too deep to use. A new method of fixing the pillers in is now being discussed. Can't see the ramp being finished before Xmas, maybe Gamex 2008.

Gidday guys , am heading down to Perth for a wedding on Sunday night (Driving from Tom Price) and was hoping for some advice on best options for getting tight to a fish or three . Was considering chasing bream , what's hot at the mo , lures or bait . Are the moles fishing at the moment or am I better off just finding a hole on the beach and throwing lures at it . (Gunna be around till the 17th or so)I don't know Perth very well .

How hard is it to change a guide on the tip of a rod?

the tip guide in one of my rods has had the alconite "fall out" of it and I was wondering how hard it would be to get a new guide, or put new alconite in the guide thats on it?

Hard to do yourself - if not how? And if it is, how much approx would it usually cost to replace a guide on the tip of a rod by a rod builder/store?

At 0130 last night i woke to a horrific noise of wheels locked up on bitumen and the following noise of car crashing and rolling off the road.  I live near a common road in karratha and some car had rolled, thats what woke me up.  I immediately got out of bed, grabbed the first aid kit, the mobile phone and ran outside in my bordies and thongs to see if there was something i could do.  i ran up the road and across the bit of scrub, past an idiot who was watching having a beer and not helping one bit.  As i was running through te scrub, i rang 000 to get an ambulance ASAP.  I got to the car in about a minute and helped the drunk non licensed 16 year old driver pull a passenger out of the car, that was on its roof about thirty meters off the road.  The guys arm was nackered, cut, probably broken.  We dragged him up to the road, at this stage the police arrived.  They did a great job.  I think there was about 5 kids, that's what they were kids.  One ran from the scene and left the rest, cops caught him though.
It was a bloody mess the car, everyone was ok, luckily. 
For all the young fellas out there, that was a real sight last night, something i don't want to have to do again, i know most of you do the right thing.  Please don't be complacent and just do the right thing.

Is anyone hiring boats still in perth? Cost aside im Looking for a large-ish boat to take to rotto for a weekend, but it appears most boat hire places have now shut...
