Hi all,

Just wondering how much you guys & girls accumulate...and do you how much material it takes to make it.

Very educational....for young and old.

Cheers.

Will be launching the boat off Bunbury in a couple of weeks time. Was wondering where the best ramp is and roughly how far out do you have to head out to hit good ground
Cheers

looking at a cheap rod in the 10' range for under 100 bucks to suit a silun just for hitting up tailor off rocks n beach etc.

and has anyone heard of the rovex silun's busting up??

thanks!

cheers danobigfish 

might be looking to buy a shimano tld.

just wonder would a 15 or 20 be better for light bottom fishing aroudn perth?

what does everyone else use 

hey i am having alot of trouble with the bimini twist knot i can do all the twist and so fourth cant get the line to twist back down on its self any one got any ideas or could help me out some how that would be great

Just a suggestion to see if any of the Pilbara boys and girls would like to go to the pub one arvo for some christmas drink and introduce yourself to other members. I know alot of the boys do shiftwork, so i'll leave it upto someone else to name a place, date and time??

does anyone know if the brown spotted wrasse is any good to eat

Had this Mako crusing around the boat a few weeks back in the 200mtrs of water back of rotto stayed around for near on 15 mins . Russ puts it at around 8 foot and 70 to 80 kg .

I was wonder if it might in fact be one of Mako Magics spys checking out what we are catching *LOL*

Does any one know where the big pinkies go from the sound after spawning? Do they just spread out offshore? stay in the sound in deeper water? go out over the shelf? Interesting as you very rare catch them offshore over around the 7kg mark. The most common size seems to be around the 40cm to 60cm I have noticed that it has been like this for most of my 20 odd years of fishing out wide and have only got onto a School of Snapper out wide that have been of similar size to the ones in the Sound once and that was over 20 years ago in 110m of water. Has always puzzled me does any one have any Info??

If only marlin had reverse...

I picked up this little Runabout today, I am really pleased with it and am now all ready for my move to Albany.

My daughter loved it, as you can see.

Anyone who knows any good or decent fishing spots around mindarie or ocean reef area,

can you give me some tips

pm with response

thanks

Red & Pink snapper catches lately have definately improved in size and numbers!

went for a dive today with a couple of mates to some metro lumps we hadn't been to in 2 years.

got plenty of crays, but the best thing was the amount of baby dhuies that were flappin around. on one small lump, i lost count after 12 or so, and just kept seeing them.

used to go there week in, week out, and always get crays, but only ever see a couple of fish. finally looks like banning the pros from fishing the metro area is starting to pay dividends. good signs for the next few years i reckon.

scotto.

can anyone give me any advice on buying a decent beach rod and reel.  I'm thinking of getting one so that i can beach fish a bit.  I do not have a big budget at this stage as i have a  long list of things needing to be bought.

any advice will be appriciated 

Put my sunday arvo to good use for a change, been getting those little projects done that i have been meaning to do for a while. Still just going to but a swing down door on it made of carpeted marine ply and that is it

time to fess up guys and share some of your secrets and help out the young fishers of today and share with them your fav bream lures!

mine would have to be the good ol trusty baby vibe in purple ... simply irresistable

Bring on your comments .I don't care what most poeple think .I a'm coming out of the closet i like fishing ,i like getting other people good fish ,we have got so many people PB and firsts i have lost count .I enjoy releasing fish as much as keeping them .Since this shot was taken we have only kept 2 kgs and a snapper .There im out and im proud to say I EAT FISH.

The top fish was 20 kg and go down to about 10 kg .We had 4 on board plus me ,i only had one drop all day .We had enough by 830 am and went after  snapper in shallower water We let 7 others go and 2 bauldies.

hey guys

does anyone know what time of the year they get blue mannas up at jurien bay. im heading up in a few weeks and hoping they are around. if you recon they might be there any pointers on where to drop the pots??

"Echo Sounder Workshop" is finally here. John Adams (good mate) has been around boats & fishing all his life and is a Master class 4 skipper, Master Class 4 trainer and a registered RST trainer also.

He's been on the water doing various jobs like North sea commercially/rock lobster/trawling prawns/offshore oil & gas/marine officer with Marine & Harbours (DPI) and has spent more than 40 years on the water all around the world. The other thing is John hasnt lost touch with being a rec fisher as he's always had rec boats and likes his local KG's and fishing up North also.

Johns been speaking to me for sometime now about getting a "Echo Sounder Workshop" up and running. I've been asked many times over the last 14 years in this game if anyone offers this sort of stuff and not the case. I've been asked to do such myself and dont have the time to but after along time in the making John has done it.

This workshop will cover the essential knowledge and skills required to understand and effectively operate an echo sounder;

* What is an echo sounder

* How does an echo sounder work

* Setting up and tuning your echo sounder

* Understanding and interpreting screen images

* Selecting different ranges & screen views

* Real examples of screen images

* Locating sea bottom, structures, wrecks, fish

* Installation and care of unit

& more

The workshop runs for approx 3 hours (plus) and is $150. He actually offers a 100% money back offer if your not happy with the workshop. I've sat down with John and have gone through the initial worshop setup and offered my thoughts and was impressed with the presentation. Johns also consulted leading brand manufacturers and has got their input also. The workshop covers all units and has been made generic so all can benefit from. If your looking at buying a sounder, already own a sounder but want to learn more about it or you want to better your knowledge then this is a great.

G'day guys

Went on a solo recon mission on Wednesday. Awesome day out. Heap of undersize Dhuies, dropped a pinky which would have gone 8kg +, and then three triple hook ups on yellowfins. At first I thought I'd hooked a cray pot with all three rods screaming at the same time. After the first Triple hookup I thought that wouldn't happen again. After the second I thought that couldn't happen again. After the third I put the rods away. All in less than hour. Found some awesome ground. Bought a nice pinky and a couple of tuna home for a feed. Twas a great day.

Cheers Mick

Have had a go twisting a leader for some tome but get unstuck with doubling the twist over to finish it. U Tube vids just confuse me more. perhaps kasey and Jay can help as they seem to be GT Popper Xperts

Cheers
