Just wondering if you can still get into the entrance on pippidinny road to 4wd on the beach? or if they have recently blocked it off? looking at heading up around that way tomorrow for a fish

Weather looking good for Monday / Tuesday and am thinking of a possible overnighter launching from Ocean Reef Monday morning and return Tuesday while wind still low.

Plan to bottom bash / Jig in the 70s to 100s and I have 2 spots available if anyone interested. Boat is 24 foot with 2 bunks so can get a bit of rest when needed

Hi guys, Just been in contact with Ryan and he has informed me that this afternoon the show will be airing and he thinks it is the Bremer Bay Salmon show. They nail some good salmon on both lures and baits from land so well worth the watch and it includes Tech talk too!

Next weeks show is meant to be the much anticipated Cockburn Pink Snapper show. With some good fish landed also.

The following week is the final episode and concludes the season with Highlights of series 13 and all the bloopers and out takes that go with it.

The Boys will be getting ready to start their filming again in the coming months which will include some exciting stuff. So feel free to tune in this arvo and enjoy.

 Hi guys/gals.  I'm heading up to Jurien in a couple of weeks to go out with Whitey.  The main rod and reel I'll be using is an Abu Garcia 15kg (5'7") Sonar Tip rod, coupled with a Fin Nor Offshore 9500 reel loaded with 30lb braid.  I would really appreciate some feedback on this combination please.  Should I look at a rod with a bit more "give", because this one does seem a little on the stiff side.  I don't really want to buy a new reel, because the Fin Nor is great, although a little heavy.  My other bottom bouncing rig is the entry level Penn 330GTI combo, also loaded with 30lb braid.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers

Baz

 Hey people headed up to jurien yesterday the 15th march for day trip with seasport charters. Determine to better our jigging skills we jigged hard all day and were well rewarded for our effort with baldys every where and a nice dhiue around the 7kg mark which was released. But it wasn't just the fish we where rewarded with it was the the priceless advice given from whitey and Ritcho and being able to fish the front deck next to them was awesome. Little did we know our day wasn't over yet we started heading back in so we put the trolling gear out the back and got about 5 mile out when the two bonga jerks we were trolling were hit and started dancing on the surface and then the rod with the skirt started screaming. The rod was soon grabbed by Luke (captain grumpy) and before I knew what was going on there was a black marlin jumping around going ballistic. Whitey and Ritcho yelling Instuctions and chasing the fish down the fish was boat side within minutes. The fish was tagged and boated for a few quick happy snaps and then released to fight another day. It was estimated to be about 25kg but a black marlin is a black marlin. Anyway just wanted to say a massive thanks to whitey and Ritcho for an unreal day and recommend I can't recommend them enough

 so i have been in jurien for  nealry two weeks now on holiday with dad and my brother. weather hasnt been in or favour we have only managed a few fish two just legal dhuies and couple baldies for 6 days in the boat. we have two days lefr hear and hoping to head out both days.

Hi guys does anyone know of a mob that makes fiberglass outrigger poles? They need to fit some bases that came with my boat from the states. There are heaps of telescopic Ali poles available but have been told to stay away from them. The inside diameter of the bases is inch and a half or 38mm in real mans measurements. 

Cheers Sammy 

 What do you use?

I need something  reliable and easy to use.

Cheers

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Guys,

Any crabs still around in the cockburn sound?

Never done it before, just been given some crab nets and thinking of giving it a go over Easter Weekend, so any tips would also be appreciated !

 I cannot believe that some people think that is acceptable to go to any place on earth and leave rubbish behind.

Most of our fishing spots are beautiful scenic locations but they are getting trashed by pigs leaving litter behind. I nearly always pick up some rubbish but i find it sooooo disheartening to think that other pricks just throw their rubbish away.......how hard is it to take it home.

I can never understand how people can litter.....were their parents dirty dogs too.....were'nt they educated about right and wrong

You are going somewhere lovely to escape from the world and enjoy some fishing and fun would,nt you like to leave it nice not strewn in empty stubbies, discarded fishing line and dead blowfish. 

Im sure all fishwrecked members are innocent......... where the F=+k do these clowns come from.

Assume some sort of eel type thing?

300+m deep out of Exmouth

any ideas?

Enjoy

Just been weighed this evening in Exmouth at Gamex.

As reported on EGFC facebook page....

NEW STATE RECORD BLUE MARLIN!!! Congrats to Mark McKay and all the crew on Blue Horizon for their pending new state all tackle record Blue Marlin which weighed 354.5kg on 60kg line (the previous record was 330.1kg). Poor Peter Anderton has the job of filleting this one again after the earlier 200kg fish. Again all of this fish is being trucked to Perth to feed the homeless

 G'day all. So I'm a beach fisher and only occasionally get out in a boat and when I do it is a whiting session with my dad and his mates.

I've decided to get out in the boat a bit more and also am likely to take it to dongara in a month or so for a week camping with my own kids.

truth be told I'm flummoxed at what gear I should be buying to target your basic bottom species.

I decided after research here and other to pick up a TLD25 combo like the $199 special at Campbell's online, but when I went in to store the guy tried to steer me to jigging setup.  He was a top bloke and I've no doubt jigging is fun but looking at $450+ for a combo was a tad heavy for me.  the only boat suitable gear I have is a shimano jewel/stradic2500 combo I got from compleat in neddies a few years back for soft placcies off the beach in coral bay (v. Unsuccessful btw). And it makes a nice bream set up etc in the river and skippy off the boat. The heavier spool has 20lb braid.

so questions for you kind people. 

i) basic bottom fishing combo... What would you get... Be specific or just talk type of rod.  O/h or spin? This is where the tld combo was my choice but guy at Campbell's clearly felt clunking a heavy rig over the bottom was a bit Neanderthal

ii) soft plastic bottom setup.  Same as above or different. Would my current set up cope or am I headed for all kinds of trouble if a real fish took an interest.

iii) jigging... This may be 2nd hand... But what is a decent combo. &nbsp;Links to articles ok.</p><p>there are just so many bloody options out there god dammit lol.

lastly, if I wanted to try a bit of trolling I assume the tld combo would do the job no?

thanks in advance... As I say boat fishing novice and not enough $$$ to make a mistake in the purchase.  We are talking quality entry level btw... No $600 reels it ain't going to happen.

just watching river monsters on ABC and these snake head fish are agro!
