ok so now  the wether is looking f&^@ for the weekend offshore wize  whats been happing in the river  anyone been chaicing mullys ???????

Following up on Andy Mac's suggestion I am opening up a thread on long casting.

I don't know about some of you other landbased fishers, but I am always looking for new information on what is the best casting reel or rod - or both.

To that I guess you would need to consider what you are casting, ie, lures or large baits.

After seeing Vans' Moonraker in action last week, I have got to think that is one of the best factory made long casting beach rods around - certainly for lures and smaller baits.

A lot of east coast beach fishermen rate the Poseidons for casting larger baits. But then again they have interchangeable to allow myou to cast different size baits.

I know there are a few guys who prefer custom made rods.
Does anyone have a particular favourite blank for a long casting.

Then of course there is the reel choice - overhead, spinning reel or sidecast.
Personally, I like all three and canh probably cast each around the same distance - depending on whether I am casting a lure or a large bait out.

Any thoughts.

This is the latest information courtesy of BOM.

Pancho is expected to intensify in the next 30 hours and begin to weaken at about 60 hours as the system begins to move over cooler SSTs and then encounters increasing NW shear south of 20S.

There are some suggestions it may track down towards Perth.

I have seen a few of fish smokers advertised by major chain stores recently.
Has anyone had any experience with them? Do they work okay? Are they easy to use?
I am wondering if they are worth giving a try.
All the best Colin Hay

 anyone  having a look in the river at all  thinking about having a flick around ?

Just thought i would bump this one to the top again. Keep people thinking about it

Hey Adam and Andy. Would you ever consider organising a fishwrecked comp away from Perth (perhaps up north around exy) that all members were invited to that went for a couple of days or something. It seems every man and his dog on this website travels to exmouth just about every year could try and tie it in so that the metro boys could come up and camp if they wanted to and us boys could come down. I know it would be hard to organise but it wouldn't have to be anything too serious, like an AGM i guess. Only with more beer!

Not to sure on the legalities of it, but has anyone hear had any experience with putting out their own homemade fads?

Just after some info on groundtackle, float arrangements etc.

John

hey guys there is alot off buff breqm down at hillarys north wall but

we dnt no how to catch them

i was talking to two women and they said that they were at the north mole on friday night and some guy made a big commotion as he thought he had caught a pink snapper. but when she went over to see it, he pulled out a monstrous buff bream. he had alredy called his mate and told him to fire up the barbie for snapper so he had to call his mate up and tell him the embarrasing news.

apparently buffies arnt that b ad if u bleed and gut em dtraight away and then soak the fillets in milk to take away the toxins. im still not so keen on buff bream as a table fish though

just wondering..... what are some suggestions for cooking flounder as i caught a nice one just over pansize (33cm) and were having it tonight?????

just wondering..i just start crabbing and need help on places...of where to go in the swan river...as i don't have a boat ..i will be doing crabbing of jetties...thanks

just something i came across and think that it is bulls&*t how lightly these people got off barely even a slap on the wrist as far as im cocerned should have been a way harsher penalty

A CANADIAN tourist is believed drowned and another man has been saved in separate incidents near Albany.

At 1pm yesterday, the tourist, 23, fell into the sea at Caves Point Blowholes. Rescuers were still searching for his body last night. On Friday, a man was rescued from treacherous seas by two strangers and a flotation device. The 29-year-old man was swept into the water while fishing from rocks at Salmon Holes at 5.20pm. P

assersby attempted to help by throwing him a life buoy. But when the buoy drifted away, Albany man Reynold Williams, 19, jumped in and passed it to the flailing man. Ball-shaped buoys were installed at the popular fishing spot after Nathan Drew, 15, drowned there in September 2003.

Lareena Woods, the sister of Mr Williams' girlfriend, also jumped in to help the man. "He was about 200m from the rocks. I brought him in a fair way, but I had to let him go because I was getting dunked and worn out myself,'' she said. The man suffered mild hypothermia and shock and was taken to Albany Regional Hospital. Mr Williams was treated for water in his lungs.
