So we finally got one our ROV's into the water around the Mindarie Rockwall yesterday. And what did we see?. Not a whole lot unfortunatly.

We inspected about 80m of the outer side wall but came up empty. The footage can be viewed HERE for those interested.

I think the best bet would be to burly up for a while first and then send in the ROV. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers

I had a nice Birthday not long back an received a a LED Lenser SEO7 headlight as a present.

Now I have over the years had a few but this little lightweight packs a punch IMO.

I certainly noticed the lack of battery pac and new technology since my last few efforts, and I am now in the market to get another one for the fishing buddy.

Just wondered about other if not better opinions as there appear 100s on the net.

 whats the go for fishing hillaries? What do most people target when they head down? I was thinking of going down tonight or tomorrow arvo. 

Do people generally fish from the rock wall or the beach? The beach looks like it might be a nice spot for some whiting? Maybe?

Any Info you could give me for fishing this area would be much appreciated!  

Thanks! 

Never Forget

Had a late start today dint hit the ramp till miday Took Murrey the ever reliable deckie and my son Tristen headed out to check the pots after pulling my pots and Tristens pots had 8 crays except two had to go back one under size and one berried not bad for a 14 hour soak,had a visitor to the boat while a Rotto a great white maybe 4 metres swim under the boat and then decide to have a chop where the transducer used to be not much left of that so will be a trip back to the boat yard considering the unit and boat is only 5 weeks old probably going to cost me a few $$ to replace but other than that conditions where perfect and a great way to spend the day with my son.He had fun catching the ever annoying wrasse and parrot fish which will be turned in to cray bait and a few wrasse kept for next months dhuie

 Hey lads

planning on doing my first eshed session thursday. Was wondering if the mullahs are still on and what else can be caught around there for good bait and a feed? Rigs etc I think I'll be fine. Snelled 8/0 circles with a heavy running sinker from my research? But rig for catching bait i.e slimy macs I have no idea about. Cheers boys any info is appreciated

hey, i heard whiting are really nice to eat and want to catch some. where do whiting like to hang out? could you give me a good spot to go have a cast north of a river? what kind of rig is the best for whiting?

Anybody interested in meeting up on the swan over summer and having little friendly comps just for laughs? Lures only, catch n release, flathead ,bream tailor. Cheers BRG

 Was fishing off the reef at trigg landbased today and caught about 10 40cm+ pike so im pretty stoked, was wondeing where i could take the tinny of shore around there any good places not after a certin fish but with burly i hope to catch a good tailor or skippy, so should i go just off hillarys or myabe just off trigg?

G'day All

Looking at accommodation possibilities for Exmouth next year.

Just after some feedback on the Osprey Holiday Village if anyone has stayed there.

All I really want to know is if I can park my boat and give it a quick tub at the end of each day?

Besides that it seems to tick all the boxes.

Cheers

Where is the best beach fishing north of the river? I live in joondalup but I dont mind driving.

I plan on using gang hooks with mulies for bait.

I'm not sure if I should use a sinker and let the bait sit on the bottom or go sinker-less and slowly real in the bait like a fish swimming. Whats best?

What kind of fish will I catch using that set up?

The more info you can give me the better as im pretty new to fishing!

Thanks!

 any good ideas how to catch mullet on hook and line been down to my local spot this morning and there were heaps of big mullet swimming around most look about 400-600mm long but wouldnt take a lightly weighted prawn was thinking of trying bread but any suggestions would be good

Thinking of taking the kids to Binningup this arvy for a fish. Any advice on bait and basic rigs?

Hi. Can someone please tell me some good spots where i can go with my car, to catch fish by the beach.

Thanks

 What is your best KG Rig??

I like to use spoon sinker at the bottom then two hooks evenly spaced over a 60cm line up to a swivel connected to my 4 pound braid.

Just wondering if anyone has been out (as I haven't unfortunately!) and if the Sambo's are in town? How big and worth heading out for a run to the back of Rotto any time soon?

 Hi Guys, 

Dose anyone know if you can get replacement diawa handels?  I am thinking about getting a Diawa Lexa (think it's a 2500 size) as they are within my price range, however i dont like the handle. Any advice much appreciated. 

Cheers, Charlie. 

If your a keen offshore angler you will fully understand the frustration in dealing with barotrauma symptoms.

I'm in the market for a new outboard for my boat

old motor was a 115 etec

am looking to go for a 130 etec or a 140 suzuki.

question is where is the best place to buy either one? 

Or to start looking?

thanks

Gday all - with the game season getting closer brother and I starting to gear up for rotto trench trolling. Will be our first serious season out there so first question - Is that area in the middle of the trench that has been marked off limits to fishing being enforced yet - if not now does anybody know when?

Second question - Do you guys that regularly fish the trench for marlin and tuna favour big pushers over skipbaits - or do you run both what do you guys find gives best strike rate?

Thirdly - we are going to launch at Hillary's - go straight to HYC FAD catch our 3 dollies then troll south down the trench till west of west end then come back north. Last year when reading the reports I noticed that most action seemed to be at the south end of the trench do you guys think its a better idea to tow the boat down and launch off say woodies and concentrate on the southern half of the trench. 

Any other tips, advice etc very welcome

Cheers Dave

Can anybody help, I need to download my waypoints from a Furuno GP7000f to a PC (or something)? I'm selling my boat with the plotter on it and not really keen on losing my way points or writing them all down by hand. If I remove the c-map card will the waypoints go or are they saved to the unit?
Cheers guys.

 Hi everyone I am taking the children to Rottnest for the first time in the new week ( mid november ) and would really appreciate if some one can give me an idea on a few hot spots to fish that is also safe and what type of fish will you find in that area.

I Am a land based fisherman and love my beach fishing for mulloway, shark,salmon and tailor ( just so you know what the kids are normaly catching )

Hey guys,

a few monthes back i caught my first large shark, and without much thought killed it with idea of eating it... after a couple of terrible meals im wondering if i could use it as bait?? or would its scent scare of certain species??

i basically have a whole bin of the stuff

cheers

 whos heading out from mindarie on sunday im doing a 30m + seatrial on my refitted boat about mid morning and testing the motor abit and looking for boats in the area just in case lol gunna be doing some fishing as well 

 Hey guys, I've been using the search on site and have read a few of the users of this site use or have owned them before.

my question is this, apon looking at one today ( first time in person and not on a screen) when winding it I notice the spool raises up a lot higher than most reels I've used which I gather is what makes it better for casting or some such. When the spool is at it's peak I notice that underneath it the under casing ( if that's correct wording for it) has 3 or 4 slits in it, making it possible to see into the internal part of the reel , normally only visible when I've removed the spool from my other reels. 

Will this be ok or cause constant Maintenace issues? Is it sealed enough? I gather daiwa would have thought about it a lot but just would like other users opinion, 

Hope that all makes sense and hope someone can share some insights

Cheers , peg
