Couldn'r believe it coming in on Sunday near Staggies reef. As I powered in doing roughly 25knots looking out for the occaissional cray pot to avoid, I see a little dinghy anchored right adjacent to the reef break mayne 200m away as I go to move inside between him and the reef maybe 80m to port. I suddenly see what looked like two red crayfloats and swerved to ensure I didn't hit any stray ropes. As I get level I notice its a couple of blokes in the water at least 80m from their dinghy with no dive flag and nobody onboard. 

Compassion was the overriding emotion as I enquired if they were OK (seeing as they were miles away from their boat.) They waved me on, but then the further away I got from them the more it made me realise just how lucky they were not to have been run down. I sincerely hope they made it back to their boat, otherwise they would have been making an entry into the Darwin Awards for 2013.

Honestly the stupidest place to park and snorkel with no dive flag and be so frigging far from the boat.

Rant over....

Does anyone know what the story is behind the cat that capsized half way to Rotto on weekend? It's on Fremantle Sea Rescue Face Book page.

Anyone here using any of the Penn Slammers Reels.

Tell us of what you think of the reel.

 just reading ryans post about the drag upgrade in the daiwa seaborg megatwin

With all this talk or metro marlin, jurien marlin, and personally pulling out the marlin gear yesterday and went wide for the first time in a while. Im curious to know everyones favourite skirts/ Heads....

Basically my collection consists for around 8 Soft Grassy's/ and numerious jets heads and jelly babes, and im possibly looking to open the spread a little more, with some different kind of bubble trails etc etc.......

look forward to hearing everyones favs...

Photo was taken at the most southern fad yesterday morning at roughly 5-530am....had the fad to our selves tiill roughly 730 8ish went all the gentlemens hours people rock up..headed wide after the spearos runied everything like usual (and before all you spearos say something, these guys didnt wait for the que in the drift, nor did the captain of the boat moove his boat (40 + foot flybridge), but he just idled right next to the fad while 5 guys attempted spearing dollies (for over 30 mins) and shtting everything down).  Sharing is caring spearos, I didnt go off at the boats rocking up after us, we just shared and made sure everyone had fun.

Free jumping 3-5kg fish on the chew while we were there, till it shut down.

Can anyone help me find a handle for a spheros 18000, broke mine off on the weekend.

PM me if you have or know where to get one.

Cheers

Paid my boat rego in December for January and haven't received a sticker. Has it changed to be like a car rego?

 Anyone know what the fishing has been like Cervantes way lately?? I'm heading up with a few mates this weekend.. Lb no boat.. Any croakers?? Might try n better the one I got July last yr haha ;) tight lines guys

could not believe the way the skipper of the tanya hall drove today.

i was trolling about 8 ks out when i saw a bloody big boat bearing down on me i slowed right down to let him get past me and he actually changed direction to go behind me we started waving to them and pointing at our rods and he turned to go closer as he cut behind our stern .

needlless to say 80 bucks of lures lost and he abused us when we started swearing at him he then pulled up to a launch which must have broken down as they were arranging a tow.

we couldnt believe that people who should know better would behave like that

Back a few months ago we noticed a Fish very similar to the one below..

My wife decided to do this for our grandson who turned 5 today...

He loves fishing and was suprised as when we brought the cake out...

Best peice of fish I have ever tasted and even ate the Scales... LOL

So after much discussion we think it might be a "West Coast Yellow Faced blue finned freckled back cod" and Babies.. LOL

Ryan (6 yr) caught this out of Canal Rocks yesterday on his 1-3kg Ugly stick.  Yes dad had to help a little at the end as he was getting too tired.

Was 57cm and around 3-4kg - my scales are not that accurate.

Very happy boy and very jelous dad.

Caught off Dunsborough, Fish ID pls.

Any good eating?

Size limit?

And YES, we did put it back.

Cheers,

JW

Can you please assist in identifying these species caught in local waters.  I am on a quest to catch 500 different species.

See http://fisheagle.homestead.com/species.html

 Im just wandering if anyone could give me some advice on beach spots where i can get into some decemt tiger sharks, i have access to a 4x4 and kayak to take out balloon/bottom baits.

Cheers.

a troll out of mindarie and maybe a burly session

am looking into how to avoid the dreaded pingers.. especially with our local fishing comp in a few months and the usual influx of rich kid boats stealing hard earned spots and a few of the local boy also sporting big white domes on top of their cats etc

have done a quick bit of reading, and apparently glass boats dont show up as readliy as ali, but as guessing a decent radar will still pick up the metal on board...

anyone had any experience with any of this?

HI GUYS SEEN THIS ON GUMTREE AND KNOW IF I LOST MY DOG I WOULD ALSO BE DEVASTATED . AS LOTS OF US ARE ON THE ROAD HEADING OFF FISHING LETS KEEP OUR EYES OUT AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE SEES "FUDGE"

1200.00 REWARD for missing kelpie "Fudge"

 Hi,    Just wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere I can get some bow rail spray dodgers made up for my 4.75m centre console?

Thanks, Mitch

 So far this year there have been Cobia ,Wahoo, Spangled Emperor, and loads of Tiger sharks and even a Whale shark cruising through. Not to mention the Spanish Mackeral catches are increasing every year. So do we still think the Great White population off metro hasn't increased? Like I said the game has changed.

Hi Guys,

I would greatly appreciate some info on fishing Garvey Park for mulloway. 

Is Feb, early March to late in the year to have a crack that far up river?

I understand that now is the best time but my next Weekend Free Pass from the wife and kids isn’t until my birthday in March.

Appreciate your time.

Cheers,

Max

Well ive never trolled before........... and as the wife bought me a witch doctor and a handfull of lures for christmas, ive been keeping an eye on here for mandurah mackies, but none showing yet if at all!!!!!!!!

As im new to the boating game dont like going out too far especially when rough and choppy, what can i expect to catch if anything off the five fathom bank, im using halco laser pro lures 2 metres + golden green, flamin hot, chrome and pink, mackrel blue and red neck.. i have bought some wind on leaders 100lb and am using a 100lb trace with the lure clipped on to that..................please any help would be appreciated, i really dont mind what i catch i just need pointing in the right direction.............

many thanks in advance.

kenny..

 Today's catch.................

..........yep, that's right, SFA. 7 hrs in the sound & nothing but butter fish & grunters.

Did see a massive turtle though. That's a first for us.

Hey, just went for a cruise with a mate who has a radar detector.  it was suction cup to the windscreen and plug into ciggy socket.  It bloody worked when we drove towards an oncomming cop car.   Wouldn't mind gettin one for me missus, she got done recently (and she always drives me if I have had a few).  Anyone recently purchased one.  Any info about the latest detectors and the new cameras etc.  Do older detectors work with the new cameras?

Just wondering what tide apps everyone is using. Went to chase some whiting on lures today, got ther about an hour before high tide - apparently. Lookin at the wet sand I missed it by a fair while. I've got AU tides pro, it was spot on last year, got the updated version and its way out. Seabreeze is good but I fish between bunbury and Margs, want something a bit more accurate. Any ideas?

i heard on the radio today while floating around out deep, that someone got a billy, lost it boatside.

spewin!!!

a few dollies around as well by the sounds!!

we seen plenty of small tuna jumping on many occasions

hi guys

i have picked this thing up for $500, needs a bit of work.

Ford Merlin 4cly turbo diesel jet, 6mtrs, 2000 modle, only done 26hrs.

for some reason they have totaly strip the jet and the engine, cant seem to see any problems with it at this stage, all the engine parts are like new, not even any carbon build up on the pistons.

hydrulic steering, nav lights, internal fold down seats(Rated for 10 people)

i will remove the lifting frame, but the mounting points would make a great place to bolt a new targa top on if it goes that far.

i know with western power cherry pickers they have to do a 10year full rebuild to keep them in test, i wonder if this is the same??

it was decomissioned 2 years ago and has been sitting around ever since

if any ones knows any info on the tub please let me know, i cant seem to find any info on it at all

also dose anyone know what the grey barrel thing does on top of the targa bar, we pulled the pin on the self inflator to see if it worked.........it did..........not anymore...lol

im thinking it will be ok for my boys to use for some close in fishing and in the river.

cheers ron

Gday guys i wondering whats the weed like up at Yanchep atm.Cheers

just wandering if there any spots around perth or mandarah or rockingham or the other side that are worth going to tonight really keen on getting a descent  fish and maybe giving my lures a crack since ive never caught fish on lures

 Hi all our charter is heading into the Jurien bay Marina. They are aprox 1 and a half hours away!

Why not come on down and meet the crew and see what got caught today! Another awesome day out on the water had by all.

Not giving too much away. You will have to come on down and have a look!

Oh and we have news which will be posted up later.

Don't forget for new bookings we are donating $20 from each paid booking to Curt for his brain surgery by Dr Charlie Teo. At the moment Curt is "selling His Body" to raise the funds.

Check out his video here. The more booking we take the closer Curt is to his goal.
