and its only 1pm ! Jeffree at it again.

I took the opportunity to team up with Jasfishing (Jase), his Cuz Mark and his Dad Dave over the long weekend. We met at the Tenth Light Horse (they were only 3 hours late!) and headed up up to the S-Bend. The trip was pretty cruisy for a long weekend and we arrived in time to knock a few beers over, pitch the tents etc. and go for a fish.

The first evening we hit Lucy's in perfect conditions.

The Tailor ran on Dusk but the size was a bit disappointing but made for good slabs for bait later.

Dave was wrapped. First fish in 40 years he recons. I recon it's his first fish ever!LOL

This is the time when I secretly swear at my wife. She had taken the memory card out of my camera so that's it!!!! LOL. Dave gathered heaps of pictures over the weekend so I must get in touch and get hold of some copies.

Anyway, we fished Lucy's again with little success other than a nice size Wobby. Pricks of things to skin. Guess who got that job......

Next day we cruised around with me playing tour guide. We ended up at Secret Men's Business where a fishing club had a comp and you couldn't see the ocean for rods LOL. The guys were excited. We headed across country and eventually found the Walkaway Pub. No power but the beer was cold and the gas burners were working. Now replenished we headed back to camp and the guys disappeared down the beach for some more action. Not a lot on offfer other than some soapie Mulloways - released. There were  few decent Mulloway landed around 80cms and heaps of Tailor of varying sizes appeared on the cleaning table.

We were all too buggered on Monday morning so we slowly packed up the camp and headed back home.

All in all  had a great time with great company. Lot's of laughs and plenty of beers consumed (not to mention the bottle of scotch). Dave cracked his first Tailor, Jase caught his first Tailor on Popper (first cast with new stick!!!!!!) and Mark continued his good form catching absolutely NOTHING LOL.

Thanks for the company guys.

Hi all,

Have just regitered a cray pot and heading over to Streaky and Smoky Bay in April.

Was just after a few tips in storing crays both short term for a few days and longer to bring back a few as well.

How long can you keep them in a wet hessian bag or any other suggestions and whats the best way of keeping them longer term i.e. a few weeks to a month (cook them before freezing or freeze raw/cook later etc ).

Anyone cook them on a BBQ grill??

Cheers Paul

Wonder how much rain it might drop or if it could intensify before the crowds from Perth head north??

Locals in Exie, hows the water in the gulf, is it / was it clearing up?

Showing some rain, thumping easterlies and a reasonable swell this weekend!!

Which comp is on this weekend ??? :D

 thinking of heading down to secret harbour for a shark or mabey a mullaway tonight, anyone else heading out on the boat or to their local beach ?

cheers pom 

If anyone needs a Deckie tomorrw I'm keen, got all my own gear and will pay share of costs and help clean boat etc... I live in Mandurah but willing to travel either direction.Cheers 0403 917 423

 Anyone hear of anything substantial caught out wide in last weeks fishing comp ,marlin tuna ext. i was out there last weekend but the water temp seemed to be down a bit, 24.5 was as warm as I could  find,lots of boats out but seemed pretty slow

Talking to a guy at B C F about buying a side scan for my hds10 he was saying it is good to only 30m was hoping it would go to at least 50m to 60m how good has anyone else found them             

Enjoy

Caught this guy at eshed, very unusual. Let him go and swam off very strong. Dont even think he was hooked just tangled up...

Anyone know the species?

Was out fishing a few weeks ago and managed to snap my 3.0m med/heavy ugly stick. It broken on the female section right were the male part stopped. took it back to the shop I bought it from (no docket) was purchased with a gift voucher. Explained to the manager how it broke in the act of casting a tailor rig with a medium size star sinker. Was pretty much told no way possible and that I must have got it stuck in door or it was run over. After waiting a couple of weeks for the rep for rod company to have a look, he said the rod broke from misuse and not covered by warranty. After a long chat with the store manager (cut a long story) he agreed to exchange rod. He didn't want a dissatisfied customer and any possible bad publicity. So to Micheal at BCF in Cannington thank you.   There are still customers out there who aren't bullshitting and some times rods fail just because a rep hasn't seen it before doesn't mean it can't happen.  Now I've got a 3.6m ugly stick    Don't make the 3,0m's anymore I wonder why?

Gday, taking the wife and kids camping in Busso in a fortnight and will be taking the boat. Never been off shore fishing in Busselton so just looking for some advice as to what species to target, where to launch etc. I hear of this 8 mile reef, is that any good for some fishing or does it get hammered, also is it worth a troll at all?

Thanks

hi guys was wondering if i could pick your brains and get a bit of advice about some good places to do a bit of night fishing????

ive been here in WA for about 18months and have got the bug hard!! ive been south to esperance,denmark and been north to kalbarri and done really well fishing. but haven't had much look metro fishing just the usual herring and tailor.

so ive decided to put in some hours night fishing (would love to catch my first shark or mulloway)....only thing is i dont really no much about the beaches around here, i live near hillarys so was thinking bout maybe trying some of the beaches north of here between mindarie and two rocks maybe? but i dont mind going south if its better there.

i have a nissan xtrail which isnt really a hardcore off roader but can go on the beach if it isnt too bad + i will probz be on my own as i dont really have anyone to go with.

also i have some balloning gear so would like to give that a go, bought it for kalbarri but the winds were againt me!

also if anyones planning there own night fish and wouldnt mind a tag along i would love to join..........cheers dave.

hello, just to the people who take their boat out from two rocks, just a head up to everyone who goes any day of the week fishing... when leaving the marina i know you all want to go fast and get out there quicker but myself and my crew have 110 pots in the water and im starting to get annoyed people who dont care not just saying you people on this fourm, basically everyone haha but im just annoyed when we have to spend atleast 20 mins looking for rope, we do managed to find most of them but all torn up and that

just want to tell youse to go around the floats if possible i know there every where in close now but im just there to get the job done so i can get home early :)! haha cheers lady's n gentalmennnn

Hey,
Iv just got my cray lisence and looking at going this weekend for a dive to hopefully get some, im going landbase and i was thinking of north mole or point peron, i know north mole is a great spot but i was wondering what point perron is like,? I know theres heaps of reef there but never really heard of anyone catching crays there, does anyone know if you get good craays there,??
Cheers,

 Just wandering what beaches between Two Rocks and Mandurah are good for sharks any species.

Gang,

My Navara D40 petrol has dropped it's bloody alternator. Dead.

It's getting looked at but Nissan is quoting $2400 for what must be the gold plated, diamond encrusted model. Part only - installation extra! And this is not me going to Nissan for the job, just quote on the part.

For that price, It'll make a good super quick trade in I think!

Anyone had this issue before or could recommend a cheap rebuilt one? Or auto electricians on site that deal with rebuilds?

Cheers
