hi guys

well me and a mate are off to denham on saturday and we have just discovered that my boat has a water pump issue. not sure how it happened since it was all working after we checked it after our last outing. anyways does anybody know anyone that may know where i can get it fixed by friday afternoon. obviously its quite late notice but it will put a real downer on the shark bay trip without it.

cheers danobigfish

one of my Daughters walk into this last night, 3 sinkers, 4 large hooks, and two sets of gangs, she let rip with a all mightly scream after walking on this lot, she was lucky I was able to pull out the gangs that wraped around her big toe.

I know it cant be helped but these hooks and stuff were on the beach were people walk up and down, just beware if fishing at Port Kennedy beach its a pig sty, crap every where wasn't like that last week.

Hi all, heading down to Bunbury for the weekend and wanted to get a feed of whiting / herring off the back beach, anyone know if the sand is back and the rocks covered again? Are they locals getting any?

Anybody still out getting crays at the moment?

Only saw 2 rec pots out yesterday and saw the pro's are now out in the 100m plus mark.

Still managed a feed yesterday when we pulled the pots.. about 10 in total.

Spoke to a fishereies guy at woodies ramp and he said we were the only ones to bring crays in for the day.
Divers not out getting any either?

Cheers

After my line catching on a tree on the way to the ramp and getting there with an empty spool i am now in need of some new 37kg braid for my Jigging outfit, looking around on the net I see there are a few different choices.

Could anyone please advise me on what the difference is and what is better for my needs.

Cheers

Justin

Would anybody on here care to share there favourite bait for inshore bottom bashing, for things like snapper, KGW and mainly dhufish. are the usual baits like pillies and squid the go or is there a rare (WA only) bait going around that I will brain it on?

Thinking about going for fish tomorrow and was wondering what time the seabreeze has been kicking in. Don't live right on coast and it seems that what the wind is doing here can be a bit different on the coast 30km away. I want to get the boat in and go reasonably deep off Mandurah. Was in Mandurah yesterday and at 1pm it was quite strong but can go early and get back in before it gets up too much. Have been checking out BOM, seabreeze, elders etc and they all seem to say different things. Supposed to be a cool change tomorrow and askhuey says go for it but BOM is saying go in the cut or crabbing. Who uses what web sites for weather and how accurate are they. Any advise would be appreciated.

GO BLUES.

just got a new outfit daiwa td sol 300 $299
daiwa rod 6-10lb $359
spooled one spool with 8lb fireline and other spool with 4lb prt braid

to be tested tonight on tailor :D

Well after reading about ignorant fisherman, I experienced it firsthand my self last night.

Went for a Tailor session with the brother and a mate. parked our vehicle and walked 1/2 a kilometer along the deserted beach and set up. Commenced fishing, then had 3 fellows join us. They stopped 10 meters away from us, no welcome, no socials!! The beach was deserted!! Just us, yet they felt compelled to fish right beside us. I was furious. To top it off, after they left, I found their beer bottles discarded in the sand. Got back to the carpark and found more discarded plastic bags.

Went for a drive and found them in another fishing area and calmly explained they shouldn't leave their rubbish behind.

I am amazed as to why they needed to fish with us in our back pockets! What gives?
regards

Willy, 

Oh yeah, caught 4 nice tailor

Has anybody used these Williamson Poppers for chucking around?

Was just curious on how they went!!!! Looks like they've got all the bells and whistles....

I've tried rig rolls - not a fan.

How is everyone else storing their pre-tied paternoster/drift bait/general bottom bashing rigs so they aren't a mess of tangles and a royal pita while out on the water? Any help would be welcomed!

I'm keen to take a friend out off Two rocks on Sunday and I know its cheeky, but does anyone have any spots they could help me out with.  I'm from Jandakot way and have never fished North of about City Beach.  My mate is not a fisho but a spearo so we are hoping to mix a little of both into the day.  He has dived a bit up that way but only within a k or 2 mainly back toward Mindarie he is a bit of a freedive nut. 

I was hoping to head out in the morning for a serous bottom fish and then as the day heats up head back in fo a dip over the side. ( hopefully without any toothy encounters).  Any suggestions of gps coords would be great appreciated.  Feel free to pm me if its easier.  I have a Raymarine chart plotter but that only tells you so much. Local experience is priceless.  Thanks in advance and i promise your secrets are safe with me.  I mainly catch and release too if thats easier on your spots.

Regards Dave

hey guys, i'm going offshore for the first time this sunday with peter mac and im worried about getting seasick and ruining the trip. Realising there might be several brands of pills, could anyone steer me towards a good brand that will definately fix me up? I have a strong immune system towards medictions so preferebly something strong would be good.

Thanks for any help.

Gday. Thought Id better introduce myself. Long story short. Am new to area and new to this site. Like this site, decided to join. Moved from Darwin to bunbury area about a year ago. Iam a keen fisho with own boat. Have a long list of firsts and alot of upsizing to do while Iam here. KGW, blackass, dhu to name a few but the list goes on and on. Love sight fishing to feeding fish. Cant wait to catch another salmon but will fish for anything, anywhere, anytime.

Any bunbury fishos out there?? We need to talk fishing.......

Standby for other stuff like pickys, latest fishing journeys.

Not sure if I am jumping the gun or not but any reports of some Scalies comming through as yet?

Keen to start collecting some bait for Salmon and Tailor and they are always good at staying on the hook (a lot better than Mulie's)

I normally go to Eshed to catch them when they are comming through but I am not sure if they have come in as yet?

any spots or reports where they are currently being caught would be good.

and finally does anyone use them as baits out deep? for Dhuie's and Snapper ect? I myself haven't as yet but I reckon they would work pretty well?

scano

They need to put down the glass BBQ!!!

Hey Crew,

Gully has put up a prize for the Exmouth fishing comp and we need a decision on which photo to use. We are going to blow one of these up and print it out to be a beautiful wall mount. For those of you coming up for the comp, please let me know which photo you think is better. I have attached them to this thread but have to make them small as to ensure no one else copies/uses them.

Cheers,

Adam

hey every one ,just wondering what were the good braids out there for jigging and bottom bouncing? i was thinking between td sensor and fins prt..are they good? which one would u go for?

Im looking at going out on another fishing charter

some mates have told me to go with bluejuice but others told me to with mills

any opinions

Thought I had beter introduce myself. Been a member for about 7 months reading and learning. You all have been very helpful.

Try to get out on the boat as offen as possible but with a young family makes it hard.

Moved to Perth about a year ago and live NOR. Dont have many people I can go out with so anyone interested PM me. I am still learning the area and havn't had much success so any help woul be appreciated.

guys we have in stock in the shop atm, 3 sets of the large fishwrecked boat stickers, i think theres 2 sets of blue and one set of silver, so if anyone is needing a set pop in and grab them, they are $25 each or $50 a set

What would be the best way to go about upgrading a small to medium threadline/spinning reel, from 2500 Shimano's to 4000 Daiwa's? Anybody done this before? What can you do to them? I'm particuarly interested in high end drag washers to get the best out of my reels. Any advice?

Cheers in advance
