App/ improvements

 Hi all,

im sure everyone's enjoying and learning a lot through the fishwrecked website but I was wondering has there been any discussion on maybe developing an app which could greatly make things easy and taking part in discussions on the go would become much easier. Perhaps adding photos etc direct from your phone gallery and other such features. I would like to see this happen for fishwrecked and I think it would make it an even better forum.

what would you guys like to see improve or be added? 

What are your thoughts regarding an app for fishwrecked?

for myself an app would make it much easier than having to use the google or safari browser whilst on the go.

Thanks 


The Ban , too long ?

Just want to know what the feelings out there are on the demersal ban . Are there too many species on the list ,timing that just puts too much pressure on the end being the 15th dec ,then all are chomping at the bit to get out there . Most people finishing work around that time thus putting maybe more pressure on not just the fish , ramps and fishers risking it in dodgy weather ? Something to get the tongues goin !

Shorter Fishing Tripod

 There's some who use tripods at places like Triggs but they typically are high so that you sit and fish. I was wondering about building one just about 1 metre high with a platform to stand on. Has anyone seen something like that? Just wondering about getting bowled over but if the waves just go past the legs on the bigger one there ought not to be a problem for a shorter one. What do you think?

Whats the best to fish for for a newbie fisherman like myself.

Oceanside discount

 Few of you may of seen my previous post regarding discount at ocean side, 

turns out I was visiting a completely different shop (quite a few times) which I believed it to be Oceanside, foolishly might I add.

so wish to clear up what I posted was in anger and was in fact at other store's  service and the response I got. 

My deepest apologies to Oceanside as this was on me, all me and it wasnt until I mentioned it to a friend he called me a dipshit and told me I'd has the wrong address all along. 

Once again many apologies, to the staff at Oceanside 

I think I'll actually visit the real Oceanside guys and conduct my business there ( this time making sure I'm actually in the right store)

FreeDiving Finns Help

hey guys,
im starting to get into spearfishing/gidgeeing and was wondering where was a good place to buy freediving fins in perth, im not looking for anything expensive as im only just starting it out for real (after snorkelling around for fun quite a lot).
I would rather not buy them on the net but if I have to that's ok. And im not really sure if I should get the open heel ones that u need wetsuit boots for or just the normal ones.

Thanks guys.
price range is pretty cheap but its because my grandparents want to buy me something for Christmas (100ish give or take a bit).

Mandurah crabs -- slowly but certainly

They're Here!!!

Yes slowly but certainly picking up. And the size ones are just sooo sweet.

Been out about three times in the last 4 weeks. Initially just a few small ones. Then increased to more small ones, sometimes up to 3-4 per pot.

Yesterday in 4 runs got at least 40 crabs caught, a few obviously small but the rate off measures has dramatically increased and even got a few to keep.

A couple of weeks should see them firing IMO.

 Hi Guys

Just wondering if anyone is getting crays in pots down this way?(Busselton)

Any help would be great.

Cheers Choc.

this weekends efforts and some underwater screenshots

another epic weekend along the south coast with some more great fish caught. highlights were, swimming with a 20kg blue that we left alone to chew on the reef, getting smoked by blues off the rocks on my 15lb outfit, Aron landing 2 nice blues with one going 12kg off the rocks, land based dhuie on jig (was vented and released and swam down on his own), stinky salmon everywhere.
 


Boat stolen but been found

 3am phone call from rockingham police asking if I owned a boat and if it was in my driveway thought it was a prank call but no, worst feeling ever ...... But grateful that some kind person rang it in saying a boat was dumped in the bush. thank you to the awesome person who did that can't thank them enough .. Boat was taken from Baldivis area they had been scoping it out as they came very prepared with massive bolt cutter and other tools to take it. was gut renching my pride and joy taken something I work hard for... 

 

warning to all boat owners they are looking and on to it and if they want it they will get it as this had a wheel clamp also on it but got destroyed but left some marks on the road....but I don't get it as they dumped it 10mins from my house but they never put jockey wheel up or motor and boat was not strapped down so it has taken some damage motor leg and transducer destroyed and a few glass repairs.....

 

im in glad I got it back and it's in one piece I no some people don't get there's back 

but chain it up as much as you can and hard as you can so it makes them think twice

 

cheers
