Advice for beginner
Submitted by Gary18 on Mon, 2013-04-01 08:57G'Day all,
new to the forum , a good site by the looks I'm enjoying the topics , stories and the humour
I am a bloke who would be best described as a shite fisherman, as in can knock up a basic rig , chuck a mulie on and feed the tailor ect but I really want to teach my son (11) how to fish , to give him an alternative to XBox war games which will get him down the water and hopefully having fun.
I live in the Comet Bay area and want to have a go at the Yellowfin Whiting which are plentiful along secret harbour , golden bay ,singleton area
I know the bigger ones are difficult to catch but was wondering what people have had success with , rigs , baits or techniques so I can put it to practise. I have been told about "Gulp" fake sand worms and that they are supposed to be good ?
Thanks in advance and happy fishing
Cheers Gary

Which Exmouth Fishing Charter
Submitted by Young_bass on Sun, 2013-03-31 23:20Hi, I'm heading up to Exmouth in mid June to do some diving/fishing and wondered if anyone could tell me a good reliable fishing charter? Have had a look at some old discussions and sounds like there are a few dodgy fellas working up there so don't want to waste time and money on them. ny info or recommendations would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Good Friday
Submitted by buddharock on Sun, 2013-03-31 20:00Headed out with a mate on Good Friday and had a great day out. Sea was washing machine like and a bit rough on the way out. However, picked up my first pinkie ever, 67cm and 3 baldies between 43cm and 47cm. Also picked up a couple of undersized dhu's, undersized pinkie and a couple of small black arse that we sent back down as well. Chose the right time to head back, between the switch in the breeze and was pretty happy with the day's haul.

Anyone have experience using an EPIRB
Submitted by pale ale on Sun, 2013-03-31 09:35
Has anyone recently had the misfortune of requiring a rescue initiated by your epirb?
I also need to buy a new one.
http://www.e-marineworld.com.au/store/cart.php?
This one which hekser linked in another topic looks like a better unit than the GME due to battery life / warranty and it apparently updates your location more frequently.
Has anyone used this model before?
I have never had much faith in GME radios / CD players..... they dont last very long
Also, does anyone ever do the "self test" of their epirb? I have always looked at doing it, but too scared I might set of a search party.

Images
Submitted by Belly Fish on Sat, 2013-03-30 22:37Seems like everyone is having problems with attaching and viewing images, which seemed to start around a week or so ago.
Can someone from the site post a general notice as to what is going on, whether there is a work around and a possible resolution time?

Barred Creek, Broome
Submitted by jesse_b on Sat, 2013-03-30 19:11Me and a mate fished Barred Creek out of Broome today. On the low tide there was very little water left in the creek, with the sections still holding water appearing very shallow, a couple if feet at best. Can anyone offer some advice as to whether these shallow water bodies still hold barra or if we should be fishing elsewhere or on a different tide? Apparently Willie Creek holds more water on the low, it's this a better option? Any advice appreciated
