Gday fisho's,

In the planning stages of a trip to Arnhem land and am after info and stories from crew that have done the trip. Places you went /stayed and fished. Would love to take the bar crusher but not keen on the amount of dirt and off road needed to see the best parts so we will be taking a 480 topender which will do the job nicley. 

Any advice from perople that have done the trip would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

 Hi fellow Fishwrecked mates. I live in Karratha and coming down to Perth for Xmas. Wondering if anyone would be able to lend me 4 plastic Cray pots for a couple of weeks over Xmas. Craying in about 20 metres out from Shoelwatet Bay. I'll pay ya well if ya can. Pots are no use to me up in Karratha coz only tropical crays.  Please pm me if available. CHEERS

Another buy back fantastic but lets dig a little closer. Full disclosure i use to work for this guy (only for a few swings) he has been compensated for part of his license. He went out of his way to stir up trouble by unloading our catch at the local jetty in Derby. Mary island fishing club and Broome fishing club made sure they were heard and good on Recfish annd wafic for working together. 

My problem is that they won't disclose the amount he was compensated. I contacted both WAFIC and Recfish and neither could give me a answer. Matt From recfish said the amount shouldn't matter and its a great win. Ok mate even on the fisheries website it says what the money gets used for "Funds raised through recreational fishing licences help us to manage the State’s fish resources effectively. Recreational fishing licences are also used to inform us of who is fishing for what and from where. All the money generated from recreational fishing licences is reinvested in initiatives that directly benefit recreational fishing in Western Australia" 

what they actually bought of him was a tiny area and i feel as though the amount should be disclosed is it unreasonable as it comes from recreational licenses?

I'm heading up to Kalbarri next week from the 5th to the 9th November. 

Will anyone else be up there during that time? I'll be fishing around Wagoe, Wittecarra and Chinaman's over the four nights I'm there. 

I'm planning on fishing the full tides, so will be out during the evenings and taking it easy during the early hours. 

I haven't seen Kalbarri in 20 years so looking forward to seeing this superb place again. 

 Slooow lately.

Hello All

I have recently relocated from Cairns and having done loads of fishing in and around the great waters off Cairns and Cook town, I am looking at getting into some of the fishing around Perth and especially the FADS where I might find some similar species to what I was used to up there, obviously the further North I go I realise I will find similar locations.

I am however interested in someone assisting me with ideas and or spots (esp. coordinates of the FADS) I can only seem to find the last co-ordinate and that was in 2016 and it was mentioned on a site that they have moved??

Please help me out and send me a note esp. if I can tag along and or take you with me :):)

Thanks

Hi all,

Looking at an upgrade in my car which will be for day to day driving to work / family duties (wife and 2kids) and boat towing.

Will be required to tow boat of approx 2.5 tonne 

Considering getting a Ute ( never had a Ute before, only had SUV’s so far) such as ranger/hilux/bt50/dmax etc or a wagon such as Isuzu MUX/Ford Everest / Holden trailblazer etc.

The utes are generally rated to to 3.2-3.5tonne whilst the wagons listed tow 3tonne. 

Since never owned ute (had SUV’s only so far), hoping to get some advice /recommendations regarding Utes or Wagons in regards to above

Cheers

Joycey

Have been discussing with a mate this theory today and not sure on the legalities

open to conversation

haven’t had a chance to catch a fisheries officer to quiz him

so when I’m crabbing once im home I process my crabs by peeling the shell off and cleaning them before cooking as I steam them and have found it’s much cleaner when eating without all the shell and guts

so here’s the question

once I’ve landed back on the beach with my crabs which are sized and within bag limits, can I clean them on the beach and take home my processed crabs putting the shells back in the water? They come from the ocean can’t see the difference to filleting a fish for strip bait and returning the carcass

Wheres the point where a catch is ‘landed’?

as I said open to see what people think as I haven’t don’t this yet but will save me from

dealing with all the offal once home 

cheers 

 In the river to catch the bad boaties in action, they were switched on today

 Hey guys 

looking for someone that sells oysters in bulk if anyone has a contact or knows of someone please let me no cheers 

 Hey all

Enjoy

 Last week while jigging for kings I caught an Octopus on a jig, something I was not expecting

 Hey fellas first time poster on here been following for a while. I've recently picked up my first boat and went for the Whittley Sea legend. Shes been out a couple of times before the ban kicked in and have picked up a few nice fish out from more river and havnt had the chance to explore new ground closer to home. I'm local around ththe oceanreef hillaries mindarie areas.im currently running a lowrance 5 first gen and cant pick anything up if I'm going more than 7knots. I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with some pointers in the right direction to find some sambos.they are all catch and release but was hoping to get out on the weekend to chase a few. Cheers for any info I could even exchange for a day out on the blue.

Couple of photos of the rig I've picked up

 Hi everyone, I am looking for some new squid recipes. I do mine a couple of ways, flour, egg and breadcrumbs then deep fried for a minute or two. the other is more popular and is an Italian method.

YOU NEED

2 or 3 squid hoods and tenticles. this recipe is fine for just tenticles or just hoods also.

MARINADE

juice of 1 lemon, (bottle juice is fine)

about the same amount of olive oil or vege oil to the amount of lemon juice

1 cove of garlic finely chopped

a handful of fresh parsley finely chopped.

a  pinch of salt optional.

mix all ingredients together in a airtight container.

METHOD

clean your 2 or 3 squid, tenticles are good to add in. Cut the hoods into rings and the tenticles into bight size bits. Boil in satled water for 30-40 mins, (up to 60 mins is fine for melt in your mouth tenderness). drain and cool.

mix into marinade toss and stir, (an air tight tupperware container is good for this, turn upside down and shake). Put into the fridge. can be eaten 

straight away but 2 or more hours in the fridge is way better. can be left in the fridge for a few days.

 Is any body getting crays in close, i noticed a few pots on the inside of the 3 mile.sister in law is coming over in 2 weeks snd i wouldn't  mind getting a few.

 After some suggestions fellars , want to get my kids a rod reel combo  each for chasing dermersals,  their  aged around 10 so dont want anything  to heavy or expensive  but something  that can handle  a decent  fish any ideas ?? 

 Crew I want to send the old man some lures but as i've been out of the salmon chasing game i'm out of touch with what is the best casting lures out there...

I must stress, looks come a big second to casting distance...

Where he fishes you need to be able to punch them out there to a small area often into a head wind otherwise you come up short and wont catch a thing...

Any help as always is appreciated....

 Hey All

Finally the new motor is all rigged up and getting picked up this week, taking it for its 1st sea trail on Friday, and hopefully a spot of fishing.

Thanks 

 Hey guys picked up an unlicensed trailer a while back and I've got it booked in for 3 tomorrow for an inspection to get it licensed and I was wondering how you have to legally fix your trailer light cables down the frame and how you have to store any unused cable. The eccess cable has just got a few wraps around the base of the winch pole and taped up. Is this going to be an issue?? Any advice will be appreciated as I'd like to give it the best chance of passing first go. Cheers 

We were thinking of heading to Dunsbourgh on the weekend to chase King  George and squid....anyone know any spots down that way that would be worth a look ..we have a 4.2 m tinnie... cheers

 I currently have an old Navman and looking to upgrade if i can get a simple to use well priced unit.

Any help appreciated .

 Does anyone know if the pro ocky bloke still lives on Safety bay road near June road?
