Hi guys

I live in Busso and feel like a bit of a fishing location change.

Thinking of launching at Quindalup but have no idea where to go.Only launched there a couple of times but stayed in close just for squid and whiting.

Just wondering on a general direction to head and would I start looking in similar depths as Busso for Dhuies and kgs?

Have had a quick search and the 30m mark sounds like the go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Choc.

 thought it was a garfish but now not so sure??

anyone know what it is? is it edible?

cheers

cheers fisher12

hey guys,

 fairly new to the site and just had a few quieries about when we should get our kids into fishing.

im fresh into parenthood and was absolutely stoked when we found out we had a little boy on the way.

we went away for a long weekend fishing/surfing trip and decided to take the little fella who at the time was 6months old. gave him a rod and reel and first hook up a a meesly trumpeter but the little man found it hillarious..

3 months down the track he cant keep his hands off my fishing gear. decided to spool my salina 2 16000 while mums at home and im at work just for shits and giggles, but evry time i move them and hide my gear he finds it all and just cant keep his hands off.

cut a long story short is 6 months to early?

he is absoluetly mesmorised by fishing rods and reels and will drop his toys anyday to get hold of the gear i leave lying around.

Heh guys,

Need some tips of possible.

Had a boat for over 6 months and fished the 30-40m mark out from Cockburn Sound several times, but as yet not managed to catch anything of note !

Fishing paternoster with occie and also tried jigging, but no joy.

Sounded around but not found much to get excited about

Struggling a bit so would value any advice

Also when I jigged the line was at an angle due to the affect of the drift, making it difficult, is there anyway to avoid this problem.

Cheers!

Hi All,

Am taking the kids fishing in the morning, with a mate from Mosman Park...  likely options are:

i) Mosman park Jetty (down past bowling club way)

ii) Near stirling highway bridge (their in laws live there so thought may be nice but tbh I have no idea if any fish).

iii) E-Shed

iv) any other suggestions for some river based fun?

Cheers all!

Matt

could not wait, had to share my new PB Dhuy, went 18kg on the scales

more to follow soon, including a upgraded dollie for the board!!!

cheers

Any one been having any luck on the crays recently either in pots

or on tanks, looking to put the pots out again

 hey guys

well after nearly 3 years of trying I finally landed my first mulla even though for once i was wasnt targeting one

It was caught in the middle of the day on a small piece of squid and measured 62 cms

was caught on a size 2 hook meant for whiting and skippy so the hook bent a fair bit but lucky we could pull it in, in time

the fish swam off strongly which was good to see

hopefully the next one isnt such a long wait 

cheers alex

 I'm kinda new to interpreting the weather and  reading a few different forecasts for tomorrow. How do you guys think it will be offshore?

Think I am going to have to give up watching Fishing WA live.

The last few episodes I have noticed the high incidence of general ads and ads for the sale of extreme gear on the show itself. Today was no different. I think that it was pretty evenly split by my reckoning, about 50/50 fishing and ads on a show that runs for 29 minutes.

Understand everyone has to make a living but I dont think I will be putting myself out to watch another episode as it runs on TV. Record it, watch the little amount of fishing which is interesting enough and flick the rest.

 Hi all, newbie here - KRAKEN, have been checking this site for several weeks, good tips / discussions etc, so why not join? Done!

heading down to tims / white hills this weekend, just wondering if anyone's been down there lately whith any good reports (conditions, fishing etc)

cheers

KRAKEN

Got word that a Red was taken off Cape Nat yesterday , will post a pic if/when I get one , must have been 6 years ago one was taken at Naturaliste Reef . The other unusual species making a show off the Duns Beaches is Giant Herring , with quite a few being landed in the past fortnight , mainly by people throwing light surface lures ....

went with a friend we got

flounder along the sand bar

on the little jetty we got a dozen whiting and 1 under size pink snapper

kept the whiting for a  feed all the rest returned asap to water

went down for my swim,never seen so many boat trailers parked around the marina, looks like a good day good tides and a good soluner day,will be interesting to see how everyone goes

 Can anyone Id this one a mate caught today. 

I'm keen to try snelling hooks on the dropper loops of a paternoster rig but unsure exactly how to go about it. I'm thinking of snelling two hooks together, then trimming the excess line off so I'm just left with one hook snelled to the other, then connect the snelled hooks to the paternoster dropper loop as you would normally. I'm just not sure if that's the right way of doing it. Does anyone else do this that can shed some light for me? 

has anyone had any mackie action yet in perth? I saw a school of bait fish today getting hammered by birds so the time must be getting close

 Many of you guys that got out today have much luck?  I'm all geared up for tomorrow and wouldn't mind hearing the good news.  :)

 Hi Guys, 

Planing on going fishing tomorrow but not sure as to where to go, Cockburn Jetty or North Mole? Wich of the two are delivering at the moment and what time, evening or morning? 

cheers, Charlie

Im looking at going fishing tonight. Being landbased, which would be better to go

North Mole or E-Shed??  I'll have a big rod with soaking out and a couple little ones chasing whatever else there is
maybe some tailor, herring or whatever else is on the bite..

Thanks

 Does anyone know if there is any squid in Cockburn sound at the moment!

cheers

When will we see the first canoe caught mackie - coming back through Cockburn Sound yesterday lunchtime had three free jumping (chasing bait fish) just on the edge of the shipping channel - would have stopped but had bagged out on dimersals and did not wish to be greedy -  huge bait schools on the sounder with large fish on the perimeter

Come on paddlers who will be first 

 Hey all 

I'm flying to Bali tonight and was wondering if anyone knows of any good fishing sspots in Bali prob river fishing with lures ect I'm going to ubud thanx guys 

How is the Salmon Fishing season shaping up around Dunsborough way this year? The last 2 years have been very poor due to the Ocean currents being so warm.

Does anyone have any future predictions for the Ocean current temperature around April this year or is it going to be another fizzer?  

 On a boat.

Do you troll? and where abouts, roughly what depth and how far out?

Im a massive trolling noob, any lures you reccommend?

Cheers

Just to advise you all who may be going out from the Hillarys marina on the weekend of the 17th March,The BIA (boating industry Of Australia) are haveing their show,that is great ,except ,the car& trailer

Will be closed off By 40%,that means that of the 247 trailer bays there will be a lot less access for those who want to go out. Please contact the manager if you have any concernse,his details are as follows:

He said that we,the trailer boat users can park our cars/trailers in the oerflow park situated in the North eastern side of the launching ramps.Thois is ok but if you are a lone fisherman/boat user,you will have too,:launch you'r boat, make it fast to the end of the jetty,take you'r car & find a parking area,,possible some few minutes walk away,and mapart from annoying some people by not moving you'r boat quickly ,you could find someone has stollen a rod or two,lets face it,some people do take what is not theirs,while you are gone,not just when you go out,but also when you return. If,as I suspect,many of you are to appathetick to do anything or just do not care,Fine,but other wise phone Chriss up and voice you'r concerns,after all,Hillarys was built for the trailer boat person and apart from Ocean Reef & Quinns is all we have in the Northern suburbs,but down the other side of the Swan river,there is Cockbourn,A lovely ramp,the Two at Rockingham,basic but usable,then another at point Peron,another lovely ramp.I think the only reason we have just the one good one with all of 247 bays that we must share with the cars that the people go to the commercial shops from,is that the goverment treat us with the contempt we seem to diserve> just my views but I hope othrs will read this and add thier own.After all,its not that we are not paying a lot of money for our weekend of pleasure.:Boat Rego,Trailer rego,Fuel tax,(meant for roads) then the fees for launching & parking,the serviceing of motors,the bait,safety gear,Oh shit,I think some of you must earn far to much money and simply do not give a stuff.Diver.

Hi All,

I have a short notice decki spot available for tomorrow morning.

I will leave from Hillary's at 6am for a fish at Rotto (If forecast stays as is, its a small boat)

If the weather decides not to play part I will fish the back of 3mile.

Please send me a PM if interested.

Cheers

Seb

 Thinking of heading out from Port Geo this Sunday. Being a Dunsborough local, I am yet to fish this area, so any tips would be much appreciated. Just wanna show my old man a good time, as he doesn't get to go out much. Really keen on getting into some decent whiting or whatever u recommend. I've got a polycraft 4.5 btw. Cheers!

 Hi folks,

ive just had my first shot at rigging up my own lures. I've got some richter jelly babes that I rigged up with 50lb line and some good 3/0 hooks.  Double crimped so should hold well.  

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has some pointers.  I've never specifically targeted Tuna before, and I'm hoping to get my 1st this weekend.  I will be launching from hillarys and generally head to the NE side of rotto.  I don't intend to head out further than that (this is where I do my shark fishing and bottom bouncing). 

Question is, am I best off trolling around the 3 mile, or heading towards rotto?  Should I be looking for working birds or bottom structure?  Perhaps both?  I will also chuck out a mackie lure or 2 in the spread, will they work together, or are the trolling speeds for both types of lure too different. 

i don't want anyone's specific spots (but if you're feeling generous I may as well), but any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
