Hi All

Im going to launch my tinnie from Ocean Reef on Sunday. Any tips for fishing in close (<1.5km).

I dont get out often and just want to make a day out on the water worth while. If anyone can give me any tips in terms of locations/techniques to assist me with a few whiting, skippy, hearing or better, it would be much appreciated.

Happy Easter

Cheers

Loaded the cruiser up and decided last min to head up to wedge for a night.

Absolutely stunned at the amount of Police patrolling around the wedge turn off.

Counted around 8 cars (1 unmarked) and 2 bikes and a bus.  Saw them pulling 3 different people over.

Must be a hell of a revenue raiser there.

They'd set up a roadblock into wedge (new road) with a big sign saying camping overnight illegal and fines given.

We initially joined the queue but chucked a U'ey as we were fully  loaded to stay overnight and had the mutt.

Well , that was our Easter trip done there and then.

Back home now.

It shits me to tears that they put those police resources into stopping people/family's  having a bit of fun beach camping.

It should be a right that is being taken away.

What is happening here?????

Getting like the UK .   It's a real shame

Hey all anyone get out today ? Any good? Cheers craig

 Wondering how everyone went today? I ended up with a shark, that be all... Went as far as the fads  did a quick troll but the seas were big, so came back in... None of the spots we hit had much at all, couple of pissy bites... 

Least we have some fish for dinner, better than nothing!

Just wonderin what guys use for live or dead fish baits under a balloon for macks, single, snelled, wire or mono. Ive had a bait bitten in the middle leavin the head and tail and missin both hooks (snelled).

 Can the cops enforce random breath testing out at sea in WA

Installed the a series Raymarine chart plotter and fired it up. The unit seems to be working fine.

BUT the chart is not detailing any information, such as channel markers reefs etc

Has anyone had this problem, any suggestions would be great.

Have only used C-Map before.

The Navionics card is a Gold.

Is there a difference between the US model Stellas and the Aust version?

Looking at possibly a 5000SW to match with my JM Evolution Titanium 150.

Also anyone know what the improvements on the new Stella is over the current model?

Thanks.

Friday Funnys pics won't view and upload any ideas ?

Enjoy

Reported this to fisheries, they did some investigating and found there were a number of people on board with current WA recreational fishing licenses.

Would be interesting to see how many fish they have in their freezer!

Gives food for thought not only do you have to watch out for a squirt of ink but now for explosives something different

I found this online book which may assist some with description of points of interest around the coast of Australia.
Highlights dangerous areas for sailors etc.

Let me know what you think

cheers

Hi all, anyine elso noticed that Willy Weather is now only updating their wind forcast the day before. This site used to be quite reliable for a two to three day outlook.

Swap for whatever on tomorrow night

G'day everyone. 

Another pesky question of mine. 

Who here uses a Fishing Almanac?  Do you find it accurate?  I picked up Tim Smiths Almanac with bite times and tide times the other day.  Some interesting stuff in there besides the times to fish etc with different species, size limits, knots and rigs etc.

Hoping it is accurate, as it will possibly help remove the less productive days on the water.

All useful input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Justo

Wheres everyone heading this fine weekend? and what are you targetting?

I'm going to lancelin targetting crays on scuba and macks on trolling and spearfishing :) maybe a dhuie or baldy aswell

Sorry but not really fishing related.  I have purchased a 3L turbo deisel Rodeo and its due for my service with it at 110000Km.  Being the very first deisel I have owned, I am looking for any opinions on a good/reputable service centre NOR (Joondalup area??).  Is there a "general" ball park figure for a service?  I have heard DPF being bandied around but don't even know if my vehicle has got one.

Thanks in advance

has anybody here used or own one of shimanos big baitrunner LC. i have read all about them by tackle shop reviews but are they any good. im thinking of using it off the beach live baiting mulloway. cheers guys.

 Anyone going to fish the abrolhos this weekend?
