Does anyone know where I can pick up live maggots these days? Even better if coloured. Preferably SoR.

 Hi guys

Thanks again.

 For all fishermen who use the Bent Street Ramp or local residents concernded about the state of the Safety Bay Foreshore, The Pond and boat access there is a meeting on the foreshore at the Bent Street ramp with council reps, WA Water Corp, WA Health Dept and DPAW invited to attend. The meeting will take place on the 4th October at 4pm. While boaties have noticed access through the channel is near non existant the attached photo shows the slime build up in the pond at present that is clearly visible at low tide. Would not be eating anything out of that water be it fish or crabs, but that is just my opinion.

A great response from locals to date on FB page Clean up our Coast.

I am chasing some HDPE or similar plastic board to make to smaller boards around 300x150x20mm to place on my transom to mount my transducer.

Does anyone have any lying around or know of a supplier in the Fremantle area.

I am very fortunate to have moved onto the Mandurah canals a year ago. And have enjoyed this greatly.
In the last 2 months an elderly neighbour put his house on the market and finally sold it to overseas buyer's moving to Oz.
He had a 26ft odd Glasscraft on a lifter which he also sold to them as a package.
They came down after one passed his skippers ticket 1 week ago.
I noticed they struggled to get the boat on the lifter so went over to help and they asked where do you get fish. I explained a few general spots fairly close in to discover to my horror they went 50k's out trying to fish as newby's. Needles without any spots nor sounder knowledge they caught SFA.
I certainly explained how risky this was as they didn't even log on etc etc.
After my explaining I think they might stay close in and chase some whiting instead whilst they get experience. Bloody lucky the wind didn't pick up. They did not know about broaching etc in a following sea.
Wow is all I can say.

If anyone has a spare one it would be greatly appreciated if you contact me on 0406 261 438.

Thanks

Hi guys, I've recently started doing alot of longer range fishing trips and am investigating the possiblity of upgrading my boats underfloor fuel tank from 265lts tank to something around 450lts.

My boat is a 7.5m hardtop ali, twin 150hp the current fuel tank in the usual spot  (aft area running port to stb). My ambition is to also use the tank upgrade to also improve my boats stability whilst static and underway if possible. My intiatal thought is to remove my current tank and put the new tank in the running along the keel up to about midships, to me this would lower the center of gravity whilst moving and fishing. and I'd like to have longitudinal kill tanks running each side of the fuel tank that are also floodable at rest (I understand that stability will vary as fuel is used, but my current tank I believe has limited stability improvements all together being down the back and running port to aft).

If anyone one has any knowledge / advice on this topic or can recommend someone to do the work, I'd love to hear it before I commit to the project $$$

Hi All

Has anyone fished the new artificial reef in Exmouth yet?
I have viewed some footage from the Perth now website and it looks like cod and snapper are calling it home already
since being sunk in June. Reports I've heard say tuna and school mackerel are hanging around.
I'm heading up in a couple of weeks and will give it a try.

Tight lines all :)

 Me brown364 and the hutchman had a 

bit of a go last night little quiet but  had 

some action.. still rather cold still though..

cheers pirate 

heaps of boats out last night. I assume everyone noticed now the forecasted 10 knots was gusting to 20.

anyone have any luck? We got three, all under 150mm. 

Coming up to a year between pinks for me, and that includes a week in shark bay.

 The Snapper fishing is going off here in New Zealand as the water temp begins to rise. Had an awesome day out pulling in heaps of big fish on jigs and softbaits

 Hi all just wondering if anyone can answer, I broke the cigar end of the lead for my engel frige it has the j type plug abnd new lead is $70 odd dollars, can you just cut the end off and fit a normal cig end on. aparantly the engel one has a thermal fuse.

Cheers for any advise 

Does anyone know if the cruise craft reef raider 166 is any good?

I am looking at one in pretty good condition for its age with a 90hp yamaha 2 stroke on it (2010) 180hrs and im just curious if anyone has any experience with them. I have been told that boats with chines dont handle that well..... if anyone could give me some feedback or personal experiences that would be great.

Mate of mine is a beach inspector, sent me a pic of this yesterday - was on the beach at Scarborough - never seen one that colour before and only ever seen one in Perth which was years ago

 We caught this Pinkie in the cooler water down deep earlier in the week, was a cracker at 80cm. Feel free to add your strange/irregular catches below!

 Hey fwer's

Got a 5 day family trip upto Broome in early Jan. Know it will be hot and sticky so was just wondering if there will be any charter operators working as it is off season. Was hoping to pop my Barra cherry, any recommendations?

Cheers

Chris.

I've had a Tekonsha P3 controller for about 4 years. All has been good but now all the lighhts on the trailer go out when I touch the brakes. Have checked all the cables and all is good except theres power coming back from the controller to the negative battery terminal (via the cable direct from the controller).

I've met one friend who had their tekonsha controller replaced because it developed an earth. Anyone else had similaar probs? Any suggestion on proving this problem to be the controller? what's the best controller - Red arc?

Thanks,

Trevor

Enjoy

 Anyone have any info on giralia station.... What is the boat fishing like any info would be greatly appreciated 

 So i go out to one of my secret spots yesterday and within 10 mins all these idiots turned up and pinged my spot. Listen Sheeple there is plenty of ocean out there and if you have to resort to hammering spawners maybe think about trading in the old cuddy cab and getting taking up beach fishing.

for those who arent aware yet, CB now has a live wind report

 Hey people can someone please offer some advice as to when occy season starts? Or when the best time is?

many thanks,

Would anyone be kind enough to pm me some spots at coral bay

8.10 am . Car park full. Overflow still locked up at park( council job). I parked half a click away on side road. Noticed when I got back after lunch ,good old ranger done his rounds.tickets on car windows with trailers on . In my books absolutely crap. Sunday half decent weather (car park not open). 100 percent sure set up. More money no dought.wankers . I never got one( ticket) many did.

Hey guys, will be there later in the month with kids in tow. Wouldnt mind having a flick for some redfin as have never tried before - is it worth having a crack in the Bridgetown area? Any tips or advice on what type of water I should be hitting at this time of year? I'm assuming look for deeper still pools.

Was planning to probably baitcast whatever I find in the area, or possibly flick some lures in less snaggy spots.

Cheers

 Hi 

Does anyone know of any cheap vehicle/small truck for sale that can legally tow 4500kg?

Cheers 

 HI GUYS I HAVE A HDS10 AND LOOKING FOR A GOOD TRANSDUCER FOR THE UNIT,I FISH IN DEPTHS OF 8MTRS UP TO 50MTS JUST WANT SOMTHING THAT WILL GIVE ME A GOOD READING AND READ WHILE DOIN15-20 KNOTS ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED...

 we're booked in at Tent Landing for the first week of the school holidays--not intending to camp there , just using it to launch and store the ute and trailer while we do a few nights out around the bottom of the bight, and around to the Tea Tree camp side. Just a bit of a shake down for camping aboard for the two of us, before we do the bigger trips. Theresa at the station reckoned that Tent Landing was better launching than Baba Head for a boat of this size, but was still tide dependent--I've never looked at it, but have launched at Baba Head, and felt it would be OK on most tides? Anyone have any input re Tent Landing launching?

Hey everyone I’m going to coral bay on the 22 of September, we are taking our boat and kayak. I was wondering if I could get some spots and tips for fishing for pelagic fish, red emperor, big spangled emperor, dolphin fish and Spanish Mackeral. Would like to know about rigs, baits and combos that I should take to catch these fish.
