a current affair on thurs.7/3/07....there was a bloke who jumped into the water with massive whale shark to cut off some 100mm rope that was wrapped around this graceful animal...he was at it for 40min , used 4 knives and had it all caught on film...the shark just sat there and let him do it....and when he had finished the shark swam off raising its tail out of the water as if to say thank you to the bloke.....he was 30 k's off the coast of the gong(sth coast of sydney) and i watched in awe....absolutely awesome i thought......

Went dowm south with half of Perth on the long weekend looking for some salmon. Haven't explored much but managed to find a medium sized bay south of Indijup point. Saw a couple of good sized schools of what looked like salmon.Managed only 1 good sized fish of 5kg. At the most there were probably 10 people spread out within this bay and with only 3 people fishing.
Bloody awsome sight seeing a school come in with a wave with the sunlight lighting their shapes up. Really exciting stuff.Weather was okay with a med easterly in the morning which was off shore where i was then later a sea breeze. Saw a few boats trolling but nothing caught, atleast with what i saw with my binoculars. Any else went down south??

Just wondering if anyone on this site is entering the Naturaliste bluewater classic.The competition is held over a three day period(9,10,11 march) this weekend wether it will be held off because of the weather or not im not quiet shore.There is three sections with landbased,bottom and game,plus heaviest dhuefish,salmon and there is good prize money to be won, so might have to enter and do the land based section myself till then happy fishing.

planning to go up to lucky bay over the easter long weekend

would anyone ere bee keen to get away 4 the weekend?

maybe get a bit of a convoy up of numbers are good camp on the beach and fish all nite

cheers scottie

Gday,
Just wondering if anyone here knows of any programs available to search for new spots while not actually out on the boat?

I once heard a fella say that he had a program on his computer, but never got the name of the program off him (or a copy). Ive tried google'n it, but no success so far.

It would be good if there was one, currently sitting here 300kms for the water dreaming of catching the next big one!!!!
any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers
Plugga.

want to head out to the back off rotto tomorrow but it looks like its going to be a bit windy ,the swell looks alright? is there any one planing to go tomorrow or give it a miss?

does anyone know of any one who teaches people to fly fish in the metro area...its the only rod i dont own but am lookin into it and want learn the art....let us know please.....

Just 6 months ago I purchased Rod Pallister's (Owner of Joondalup Boatshack) personal bream/flats boat that he'd owned.

When this machine went up for sale I grabbed it straight away for the price and had very good intentions to use it. The down side is I use my new 6.5m Whiltley boat all the time and the little one has only been used a few times. A nice boat but not worth keeping for a few trips only. My big boat is 13 months old with 440 hours on the motor.....you get my drift, I dont use the smaller boat so it's for SALE.

It's 4.5m, f/G, very stable, fully floored, large fully plumbed live tank, self draining deck, under floor storage, rod holders, grab rails, Min Kota ready but it doesn't have one, on a Polmac roller trailer, jockey wheel, Yamaha 40HP tiller steer, motor, 20l fuel tank (more fuel tank storage underneath), near new prop, trailer just been serviced, new fuel line....I've spent money on it as you do when buying a boat!

Myself and my cousin Jimmy who's a solid lad stood on one side of this boat and it didn't move, a very stable platform for fly, bream, flats, river fishing, estuary or just cruising around!

Minn Kota and seat pictured not included, that's the way I purchased it!

Asking $4,950 ono

Call 9337 5682 between working hours and ask for Ryan or PM me.

Hi all,

I just joined up....Some of you may know me as "Tailor Marc" off other fishing forums.

Glad to be apart of this site and will share some of my advise and show off some of my big captures

Marc

Just wondering if anyones knows any where down south or Australia wide who specialise on Custom boat stickers. Just looking to name the boat and have looked into vinyl prints but if anyone can shed any light that would be much appreciated.
Regards Spooled

does any one know the name of the charter that comes down to two rocks from up north each year and runs a fishing charter?
cheers
sam

tell ya storys

cheers
sam

Saturday: E/SE winds 15/20 knots, reaching 20/25 knots offshore for a period in the morning. Seas 1.5m to 2.0m. Swell to 1.5m.

Sunday: E/NE winds 15/20 knots, reaching 20/25 knots offshore for a period in the morning.

Looks like it might be a little uncomfortable out there offshore this weekend. Hiding in close may be worth a short and Sunday after lunch doesn't look too bad on Seabreeze.

Anyone got any fishing plans in place for the weekend?

Good luck to all and tight lines,
Adam

Theres a bloke who caught a black marlin that wieghed 500kg. He caught it while on a trip out on the barrier reef on a 65 foot charter boat on his very last day. He carries the memory with himself all the time. Both of the boat and the fish. He only could show the memory to his mates 2 weeks after the trip but seen his mates a week after but couldnt prove it. There was a photo taken of the capture but he lost it before he showed his mates. How did he show his mates the picture of the fish that he always carries? Some people would know the answer some wouldnt. Fire away!

any one ever used or no enything about these reels???
