Halaco crazy deep lures
Submitted by mikeurnot on Thu, 2016-01-07 22:47Just need some tips on getting the crazy deep do go down to 7 meters. I have the lure tied to the main line via the split ring. Trolling at 4 to 6 knots but the lure just stays on the surface. Distance behind the boat is about 30 to 40 meters.
Cheers.

People Breaking your Gear
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Thu, 2016-01-07 12:42How do you guys handle deckie mates breaking your shit on the boat. Took out my brother in law who fishes a lot and he broke a rod, a drink holder and a fixing for my clears. The the two fixings cost me $20 to replace but the rod is going to be $90 and I don't really want to ask for the money and no offer was forthcoming.
I've taken out other mates just squidding and have two boxes of jigs and say one is fine to use, the other is user replaces. Thinking of setting same rules for mates who want to come out and don't have their own gear and borrow the Mrs' gear i.e. set the break it and replace it agreement before we head out. I've also thought about buying a few cheaps combos off Gumtree for deckies to use but my house is already full of rods and reels.
How do you guys go about providing gear for mates, family etc who want to come out for a fish?

Running Boards, not fishing related
Submitted by wez0062 on Wed, 2016-01-06 11:48Hi guys,
anyone purchased a set of running boards for your 4WD lately. Ford is quoting me just under $2300.00 for a set.
Bugger me, I could purchase a set of wheels & tyres for that.
anyone have any other suggestions, like companies who will make for you, without wanting half your retirement nest egg :(
thanks in advance Wez

Pot theives
Submitted by little johnny on Wed, 2016-01-06 07:39Still hasn't stopped. Good mate has lost 3 big jarrah pots in 2 weeks.2 from 35 m of water nwest from point peron .and 1 from inside Sth West Bank. They haven't been cut . 2 dives in 35 m mark not on the bottom anywhere. Question has anyone used small gps saterlite transmitters yet? Cost around 30 dollars silastic them inside pot . ( out of view) Once they hit surface they can be located. In all my years I have never seen so many pot thefts? Pretty sad really . Karma will get them one day. I would hate to have to replace 3 pro jarrah pots. Not cheap.

First Dhuie of the year
Submitted by STORMBOY on Tue, 2016-01-05 16:40Hi Guys,
Got to fish out of Hillarys last night and went to a location at 33m. Decided just to look for fish with my Furuno FCV587 with my best mate G taking it in turns to locate and drop on anything looking fishy! Used Squid with Mulies inserted.
We fished from about 6pm to 9pm and kept 2 fish and released 7 more (mostly around the 45-55 cm mark)
I dislike mornings and love it when I can fish into the night :) Was a bit dodgy minding Cray pot lines on the way in, but managed to avoid them.
Looking at some of the fish that members catch here, this pales into insignificance...however on light gear it was fun and very special seeing that many dhufish at once.

Nanga station
Submitted by Fawlty on Mon, 2016-01-04 12:03Does anyone know what the lauching facilities are like at Nanga station? I've been asked to go up later in the year and have a 6.5M glass boat.
I'm a bit concerned that it may be a bit heavy if the ramp area is all sand and too shallow.

Deep Drop
Submitted by Banka on Mon, 2016-01-04 11:56We took advantage of some good weather over the christmas period and decided to head out deep to target a couple of the species that have managed to elude us so far. We worked the 300m - 400m line for a couple of hours and found a ledge with some soundings that looked promising. The spot produced both Trevalla and Bass neither of which we had caught before. We then stopped on our Grey band spot on the way in and pulled a couple of Grey Band off it. So it turned out to be a productive day with a couple of firsts.

Port Kennedy ramp this morning
Submitted by Dougo on Mon, 2016-01-04 10:22
Bet this guy thought how good is this:
- New boat and trailer (trailer still has sellers name on it) to have first launch.
- everyone else parked miles away and left this nice parking spot for me.
- Will be nice and easy when I get back.
it was there for 2 hours that I know of, when we went to pull our pots and it copped a lot of verbal abuse while we were listening.
Some people really should not have boats.
