Filthy thieving pricks

Woke up this morning and went outside to find the back of my hilux open and my rods and reels gone. What the hell is going on with this place? What happened to working hard to pay for your toys? Dirty filthy thieving good for nothing scumbag pricks. I hope the smack you sell them for gives you an overdose.

So they took a 10 ft daiwa sensor surf with an 8000 fi stradic loaded with 30lb daiwa tournament braid, which is bright green. Also taken was a shimano big baitrunner lc loaded with 50 lb braid, which is multicolored.

I know it's a long shot, but if anyone notices these around can you please let me know.


Dunsborough fishing

 Hi all.                                             

I am heading down to Dunsborough next Tues and Wednesday and was wondering if anyone has a spot on their boat for me. I will eventually be moving down to yallingup in the next few months permanently. Would love to catchup with some crazy keen fishers just like myself. I love my fishing but haven't had an abundance of success but it's not due to lack of trying or love for fishing. Myself and Mella_77, regularly and his a Gun and fishing.. Lol. Anyway I have met Dave from Dunsborough fishing shop and his a great guy with loads of fishing knowledge and kindness. Here's to hopefully meeting new fishing friends... Cheers Don

Dunsborough

Headn down to Dunny this weekend and plannin on takin me 15ft runabout. Just hopin to get some local insight. The coast line  obviously differs to Perth's west facing coast so with this weekends forecast will I still have options to get out? And most importantly what those options might be, any salmon around? Any help would be great, if the weathers not on for the boat, Ill just leave it at home and hit up some shore based spots. Cheers

What is your favorite jig?

 I'm leaning towards giving bait the flick and using artificials. Got the plastics sorted but really have no idea about the jigs. So the heading pretty much says it all - what is your favorite jig? 


beginner in Exmouth

Hi guys,

 

im heading up to Exmouth for the first time in July.

ill be just doing land based fishing (no boats) and wondering if i could get some pointers on what sort of gear to take up there (rods/reels/lines/lures/etc)?

heavy gear surf rods with heavy braid line? lighter outfits with lighter line? bait/lures/softplastics/etc?

can anyone share what outfits have worked for them in Exmouth?

think the species i would be aiming for are GT's, queenies, snapper, bonefish, bluebone, etc

 

any info would be much appreciated.

 

cheers

Jurien & Mackies

Hey Guys,

I'm heading up to Jurien for the long weekend and was wondering whether it is worth packing the trolling gear? Thinking the mackies may have moved north but i still hear whispers of them caught around rotto. I guess if the mackies aren't around there may still be some tuna?

Cheers

Find it amusing

 Firstly - Let me make this very clear, Im not having a go at anyone or any single person, and I absolutely encourage everyone putting up photos of their pride and joy, whether it be tackle or catches, this is simply an observation I have that i find amusing...

So...does anyone else think its funny that someone puts a photo up of a decent fish and he might get, well lets say on average 4-8 comments.... someone puts up a photo of a shit load of lures, jigs or tackle and the comments sky rocket 

Reckon its a good example of the old saying about lures catching more fisherman than fish 


Coral bay weather july/aug

What a disgrace

Apparently the labor Gov has done the lowest act ever in back flipping on a deal that they said they would never allow - the Venezuelan Fishing Purse seining fleet to come into our waters and deplete our oceans. But low and behold the Labor Gov has signed off on the deal to the Venezuelan Govt allowing them to send X amount of Purse seine boats this way and deplete our Southern Oceans.  But wait for it...............The Labor Govt has signed off that each boat are allowed 64 tonne of fish per day and this ain't this worst thing, the fish that they slaughter will not be used as food but in fact be sent to Asia to used as food for the Asian fish farms. WTF!!!!
The worst thing also is that the Govt has pulled the report from file and there is nothing that can be done about it now, so the Venezuelan Purse seine fleet will be fishing the East Coast right around to the West Coast of Australia.  Report is apparently not available freely yet but has been leaked.  We really need to kick up a stink about this!!!!!


wow that is some storm

been looking forward to some rain,bloody hell its pouring in the north burbs

Western Rock Blackfish

 Hi,

I am after some info on the Western Rock Blackfish. In the Australian Fish Guide, by Frank Prokop, there are 2 Drummer listed, a black and siver . I already know that the Silver Drummer (Kyphosus Sydneyanus) also known as Buffalo Bream, is found in WA. But I am interested in the Black Drummer, also known as Rock Blackfish . In the fish guide there are a Eastern (Girella elevata) and Western variety (Girella tephraeops) . I was hoping for someone to confirm the existence of the Western variety, I enquired at the local tackle shop and they said that there was no such thing.  Over east they have quite a cult following yet over in WA noone seems to target them. If anyone has any info I would be keen to find out.

Cheers


Yellow eye mullet!

hey all

 

i found a really good spot for yellow eye mullet, they are pretty big aswell, just wondering if they would be any good for live baiting for like anything that lives inside a harbour...

like balooning or just letting it free swim? thats if the weather conditions are desireable...

 

cheers!


Diawa

Hey guys thinking of buying diawa cross fire or sweepfire in 1500 size for a cheap bream reel. Any-one had any experience with either of theses models ? cheers for any feedback

Making Lures

For while i have been making my own lures, first just jigheads then poppers and stick baits

I ve had some real good succes ( but any lure could have worked- possibly)

i ve been looking at making plastictails for big jigheads and even plastics  for  awhile but there was no one selling plastisol in small amounts - and 2oo l was the smallest batch anyone would make in  OZ-

well well

Thankyou

Just want to put a big thankyou to Paul G and Jesse for time and effort they put in for the sale of "relisa". Nothing seemed to be to much trouble and it was greatly appreciated, I couldnt be more happier with my purchase and am looking forward to some good times with the new tub,  just hope it catches half the fish it did for Paul.

Regards Jay
