where are the bill fish and macies biting in Exmouth  

went out wide and then wider it was a hard day with n/w and swell and a crappy sea,it was a reel fast drift and we had to use 4oz spires[new range] to maintain the bottom,only just,managed 3 dhus and a baldy, on jigs and found some good ground,bloody hard day but worth it,bad luck Andy and crew

Well after seeing a few pot tippers on gumtree, most being not suitable for my needs (either to small or to light wall thickness) I decided to knock one up. Only problem was I was at work and cray season is rapidly approaching and I didn't have an ally tig. So I flicked a few drawings to a company to get a bit of a head start. I have to cut the green off the other end so it won't be that long. I will put some pics of the build process up when I buy my new AC tig on Thursday, running full size cane pots so will see how it goes. Oh and one of Hezzys for something different

I'm pretty keen to grab a 2nd hand Go Pro to drop down to see what's on the sea floor to get a better understanding of what I'm seeing on the sounder. I don't wanna spend a lot in case I get it snagged or a dirty big sambo comes and eats it so what's the thoughts on a Go Pro Hero 2 or is the technology getting too old now?

 Gday all, I have a trip planned for Dirk Harthog early next year. I haven't camped at Whithnell for 5 years and I have heard on the grape vine that the shack has washed away since. Is anyone able to let us know if there is anything still there, or is it just a beach camp now? I like Withnell point for it's protection and proximity to the top of the island.

Our cryovac machines have been a very popular seller over the last week or so with the pinkys season and several fishing crew's going North. We have just received another order so back in stock!!

The best cryovac machine (value for money) is the the EVAPACK MATIC brand. This machine is an Italian made product that has been around for many years and a proven product. We have sold a heap of these over the many years to customers and FW members with great feedback on how good they are.

It’s performance, power and reliability is extremely impressive. Whether you are in the kitchen, on a fishing trip or heading out on a camping trip, the EVAPACK MATIC will get the job done. There's no doubt cryovacing your fish, chicken or meat etc will keep it at its best and will last a lot longer in the freezer (without freezer burn also). In each EVAPACK MATIC box it comes with 3 different sizes cryovac bags to start with.

Priced at $239.95 and unlike other domestic branded models the EVAPACK MATIC is designed to keep on working without overheating after cryovacing multiple bags. (Dimensions - 17cm x 42 cm x 9.5cm) If you want the best cryovac machine without paying a fortune this is the one. All us staff use them and rate them. Fishwrecked Discounts Apply and Open 7 days

Well cray season 2016/17 isn't too far away!

We've already been hit up for cray pots and accessories so we have just stocked up. The NEW Katipo Plastic Cray pots look great with a slaty look/colour and last year they caught plenty of crayfish.

We have in stock the Katipo plastic cray pots "Fully Rigged" and just the shells only. We also have stocked up on the mini pine craypots which are popular for Rotto goers, tender cray potters and dingys guys etc

I'm confused - I thought I read in here that demersal ban begins on October 1 but has been moved to October 2 and people without fishing licence free to fish on 2nd October.
Dept. of Fisheries website indicates ban begins on 15 October and runs until 15th December (thought it was end of January).

Gday all, there is one fish that is on my realy want to catch list and thats the blue eye trevalla . I was after any info that might put me in the ball park for targeting these fish, ie depth to sound , prefered baits jigs ect.I generally fish the s/w waters Grace Town through to Myalup and would assume they haunt the same depths up and down the coast. I have a hds10 unit with 600w transducer which has given me readings in the 200m to 250m mark travelling slowly..i would love to give it a good crack this summer.Any info would be greatly appreciated.. cheers

You could have walked to Carnac Island from Woodies last night across all the boats!

I bagged out after 3 casts after finding an unoccupied lump. How did we all do last night?

Enjoy

 I always read the yawuru calender when i am in the coles in broome , i find them very informative

example

Yawuru people live by six seasons. We read the changing signs in the wangal (winds), the wula (rainfall) and temperature, and the plants and animals, and notice how these come together.

The wattle flowers in Barrgana mean that the salmon and catfish are fat. When the wattle seeds, the mullet lay their eggs, and when the seeds open up, the eggs have hatched.    

One of them mentioned that mudskipper is good bait but i want to know more about how to rig them up and what type of species you could catch with it.

Any help would be appreciated

It is the time of year that you can buy very large garfish from the fish markets, although not for much longer.  The fish range from 200g to 350g+.

We have had many requests for this product so have purchased a number of lots and vacuum sealed fresh storm gar in 1kg packs, and snap frozen them. 

The tackle shops have expressed interest, but I would like to give Fishwrecked Members first crack.  There are expert skip bait fishermen on the site and these baits are as good as you can get, other than catching them yourself (packs of 3, 4 or 5 fish per kilo).  They will last a long time in the freezer. 

Retail is $25, but $22.50 to Fishwrecked Members from our premises in Wangara.  Please send a PM if you would like us to hold stock for you, subject to availability. 

We hope that provision of quality bait for particular applications, on a seasonal basis, is a service of interest?  Mick 

nearly ran it over......Plano opaque plastic tackle box with black locking clips.......tell me what it contains if it is yours and I will get it back to you  ......it is full so worth a fair bit 

Hi.

Gday all just wondering how long does the "run of the whites" usually go for on average? - I cant go during the week so just wondering how many weekends I can kind of expect to be catching them? any info greatly appreciated edit: im going to be fishing out off mindarie cheersa

 Hi everyone, 

Just after some advice on the mighty mulla. With the run up to the new moon I'd like to throw a line in. The weather seems like it will be super uncomfortable on the beaches Friday so I was thinking of going tonight. Is it worth it or should I fish the actual night of the new moon? Also I'm thinking of a Perth beach. In your opinion is that wise or should I be in the river or moles? 

Thanks to all/any advice

As the weekend weather is looking sh*thouse once again, hoping to have an evening session behind GI tomorrow night after work. What are people thoughts on 11knot westerly but with only a 1m swell?

I've previously always avoided westerlys after a rough experience in a 4.5m tinny but I'm now running a 6m Stessl.

I'm yet to get a metro snapper to the plate and the clock is ticking...

having probs with settings, can get this to work in my driveway but not whilst moving along on the water.

Anyone who has installed one using a hds gen2 can you let me know.

Thanks.

Mark.  

 hey i was just wondering if anyone on here live baits for pelagics like long tails and macs. and just wondering what rigs you use. im keen to start doing abit of rock / ledge fishing up north this year and wanna use live baits. (same as they do on the east coast). 

javent found mutch but was wondering if anyone could help on here cheers 

 A mate kooked it so hard this morning and left his bath running for four hours and flooded his house. So does anyone in the karrinyup area or surrounds possibly have one we could borrow for the day?? Im sure he will be happy to sort someone out with a carton for there troubles. Thanks guys

So I've just brought a new boat and it's got a jrc ff50 with the airmar 200/50khz transducer on it. I was just wondering if any one has got a jrc ff50 and knows how it goes in deep water 200+.? I haven't had the chance to get out there and give it a test run just yet as my missus is due to have baby number 3 in just over a week. As the ban is coming up I don't think I will be getting out there until Christmas time, so was hoping someone could give us a bit of info. Also what settings you found that were the best for picking up ground?. Cheers Gleno

Just a just reminder we are OPEN ALL LONG WEEKEND.

Today: (Sunday) 9.00am till 5.00pm
Monday 9.00am till 5.00pm

Hi All,

I'm the owner of a Boston Whaler Conquest 235 with 700hrs on it.  I want to give the boat a birthday and I'm trying to find a decent shipwright who can repair all he gel coat nicks and scores, replace the clears, repair replace the engine cowling, replace a light or 2 cover etc etc.  The boat is in good condition,  I just want to get all the small items completed which annoy me.

Ideally I'd like to get the work done in its storage shed in Beckenham straight across from where I work so I'm there if the need me for any further repairs.

Can anyone suggest someone reputable?

Thanks

Steve 

No I wasn't visited by a bearded man with a tyre iron in the middle of the night. Took the old man out for a sesh and we decided to stay inshore as the reef was breaking.

Tried chucking lures into some whitewater on some big bombies for nought so moved onto some broken ground and did a drift and the old boy pulls in a horse after I dropped a huge tarwine. We did another drift and I pulled in another one so we drove back and anchored up and sent out a berley trail and had some great fun until the blowies turned up.

Lost about 5 rigs just below the swivel and can only assume there were some bolt cutters around.

Great morning with the old man and an even better feed. Biggest KG went 46 and biggest skippy went 39.
