would it be worthwhile towing the boat up to the coral bay / exmouth area in the first couple of weeks of november , or are you just going to get blown away?

have to take the holiday then , but would rather not waste the towing fuel if it's gonna blow big time!

Hi guys.

We're heading off for a 2 week adventure on Tuesday to the Montes, Dampier and Mackerel Islands.

It's possible the boat we were going to use has developed a problem.

If you have a 22ft+ boat with good range and want an all-expenses paid fishing holiday AND you can leave on Tuesday ...

email ASAP and let me know.

cheers

Steve

just wondering how long that sign has been up about a fine for powering the boat on and off the trailer?

saw it for the first time on tuesday.

I have booked another charter with Whitey of Seasport charters in Jurien Bay.

If you are not familiar with the boat, do a search on here and see the dozens of great reports.

I'll be putting up a report soon about our trip last weekend, but basically we got 21 dhuies, 30+ sambos, 3 baldies, snapper, blackass, etc etc.

I have booked for 2 October - yes this is the day after Grand Final, so hangovers are to be expected :-).

I am going to pay up front for the whole boat, so there will only be 8 on the boat. Cost will be $250 per person including lunch etc.

Should have 1 or possibly 2 slots free, so anybody who is keen please send me a PM.

Will need a 50% deposit to hold a spot, as I am paying up front for everyone and cant have people pulling out last minute. Deposit obviously refunded if trip is called off due to weather.

Plan for the charter is 100% no bait, so will be plastics and jigs only. Looking to get a few decent dhuies, then maybe jig for sambos, YTK etc.

Cheers

Dan

Hi all,

I have done a bit of search and Im still a little confused about the bag limits. Myself and 5 other mates are taking 2 boats up to Coral Bay in Nov ( bit of luck the wind gods will be on our side) otherwise just be fishing the inside of the reef of good days. After reading the through the WA Fisheries Rec guide for the region I would just like confirmation that, if I had 3 licenced anglers on board does that mean we could catch 21 high risk species (keeping to fish bag limits) or is there a boat limit I havent found and read yet. I doubt it very much we will catch that much anyway.

Hope this is not a stupid question, I just want a sound understanding befor heading up there.

Cheers.

just wondering how big my bibbed minnow should be for land based queenies and trevally in exmouth

just wondering if anyone knows whats around the busso jetty at the moment.

thinking about going out there soon.

Steroidal Garfish? Toothless Longtom? Anemic Marlin? Short-billed Spearfish?

Its just amazing what you can pickup in 40m off Rotto these days with a good skipper ;)

 Just got my brother in Alabama to by me a Daiwa 6500ht from over there. $218 and a free trip over here with one of our workmates. Anyone else got one that can comment on their good and bad points? 

Hey guys,

This school holidays, I'm going up north to Broome, Exmouth, Kalbarri etc and was wondering what to catch, gear, good charters (can't take the boat because we're going on a cruise...) I really want to catch something decent because whiting and herring can only get so big!

Most of the fishing will be land based.

Cheers

i was looking around on the net and apparently minnawarra park in armadale is stocked with trout!!!! and the other day i saw people walking that way with fishing rods does anyone know on this  if this is true

funny commercial i saw on fox

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has had much success on the artifical jigs (Like the williamson yabai, and shimano lucanus) for snapper? I have heard that the reds love them so im pretty keen to give them a try this season. . Any info or reports on how they go would be great!

Cheers

 Geeeeezzzussss. I caught up with Rig this morning for a session which didn't produce much at all unfortunatly. Nice to finally catch up with Rig though. Anyway, as it goes I left my ignition on and the demister drained my battery. Big fucking deal! I have a dual and Rig was able to come alongside and use my jumpers to get the girl back in action.

ANYWAY next I receive a text from Herbie Sherbie laughing at me and claiming Rig needed to recharge my pacemaker. FFS is there no privacy at all these days? Are those low flying planes part of Herbie's secret intelligence network? LOL Paybacks are a bitch Herbie.

just sold a 560 freedom sport with 620 fvc transmount transducer. worked well but just wondering for my new boat if thru hull or transem mount Any ideas greatly apreciated.

Time to demystify the Japanese line ratings.

Following the introduction of the Recreational Fishing from a Boat license in March last year, the contribution made by recreational fishers to the Recreational Fishing Account (RFA) increased significantly. To date, over 110,000 boat fishing licenses have been sold. This leaves recreational fishing in a prosperous position, as these license monies will be put towards funding mangement, research and project initiatives to benefit recreational fishers across the state.

Recfishwest is seeking the views of Western Australia's rec fishers on how they would like their license money spent?

You can make your views known by completing a quick online survey.

 I have Sold My Boat ( Named "Its a  MONGREL" )To a couple living in EXXY.

hey guys just wondering if anyone else has tried the polu kia skirts. been up exmouth for the last month and found that the heads self destruct every time they get bill waked am im not talking about just 1 bad lure all four are fuked an am not all that happy considering the $ u pay for them. by the way they were all under 130kg fish so not all that big cheers matt

 Sadly my back is so bad that I doubt I can do them justice anymore. Fishing is all I have left. My last handicap was 11 so they do work OK given some experience and no cheating...... Comes with a bag and buggy and a few new golf balls can be thrown in to seal any deal. For those wannabee long hitters I can tell you the driver is mint and gives serious length improvements (to your drive of course). Going cheap to an avid wannabee at $320.00. PM me if interested. Ad will be on Gumtree in the morning so get to it guys.

Oh; I also have a really nice laptop to offload (no, I don't wear a ballaclava at night LOL). Ad is on Gumtree http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff-for-Sale-computers-software-laptops-notebooks-HP-Compaq-NX6320-Intel-Core-2-Duo-Notebook-W0QQAdIdZ305785565. Again, PM me if interested. No swaps at the moment sorry. I am struggling through a short period of fishing and no work due to recovery from surgery.

 went out to the trench on saturday and me and dad both hooked up on something huge i lost it after 5 mins and dads line snapped after 1:30 hours, been told there are 6ft wide rays that cruize up and down the trench. anbody else hooked or landed them ? 

Hi all,

just asking if anyone has experience around Wildcat Reefs in the southern Bonaparte?  perhaps also White Island further north and Churchill, Albert, Beagle to the south?? (time to get the atlas out!)

advice, experiences, comments all welcome.  We will be there in October - aiming for anything from reefies to pelagics to sails.

Cheers

Hi All, heading to Broome mid September and will have a free day so I would like to try some fishing at the main Jetty.

Can anyone give me an idea of what fish there are to chase and what lures / reels / rods I should be bringing.

Any advice or tips on any of the fishy related things to do in Broome would be great!

I imagine the seafood available there would be pretty good, anyone know of any 'must go' places?

Hey guys, just wondering when the best time to come across to Perth (from melbs) to try get me a sambo is? Not sure if its worth coming over and getting on a charter or slinging one of you cats some cash and heading out with you instead.. not sure anyone would be keen for that though. Let me know if you are! haha

What do you think...............
