Gday sorry i dont have any Pics.

Went to lose my cherry last night and have a dab for the infamous swan river prawns. My brother and i were keen or so we thought and headed off about 3pm from Morley to go and get a good spot down East Freo way.

With a few pit stops we hit the water about 4pm keen as mustard to have a crack. To my surprise when we got out there there were already boats anchored up so we had a feed and a couple of Jacks and cokes and waited for it to get dark. By the time it got dark there were about 30 boats around us. Some boats doing very well and some not doing so well.  we ended up calling it quits about 9pm.

The best catch we saw was about 9 liters, My brother and i ended up with about 50 prawns so all in all a good night.  i didnt get wet but ended up with a few prawns and i had a very enjoyable night on the river and would happily do it again.

ive got a bit of a comp this weekend at moore river with a couple of mates 1st prize is bragin rights and want to grab a couple of lures so whats the best coloured lures for bream at this time of year?and what lures and size should i grab(hardbodies)any advice appreciated.cheers

went to canning bridge with my brothers girlfriend and i got my first ever fish on lure (and now im hooked)

neway we got 3 bream my first was not much 22cm (my first but you got to start somewhere) then michelle got 24 ( her first) and then a 26

we also got 3 i think there called  grunter  22cm 24cm and 25cm

not big fish but it was still good to get out

will post pics later

 cheers jason

time to leave this behind for exxy and fast fish

Shimano Trinidad A Series Reels
When the original Trinidad Reels were introduced over a decade ago, they were hailed as a revolution. Other than the obvious transition from gold to the sleeker silver/gunsmoke color scheme, the new Trinidad A reels feature updated gearing and drags that are found in later model reels. Also noteworthy is the addition of a 10A model Trini. Sizes introduced: 10A, 12A, 14A, 16NA, 16A, 20A and 30A.

New Shimano Talica II Reel Models
Shimano has expanded their Talica 2-Speed offerings with the addition of the 20II and 25II reels. These reels are great for trolling or casting applications. The Talica 20II and 25II are topless and feature harness lugs.

Shimano Thunnus CI4 Spinning Reels
Like the Trinidad, the original Thunnus spinners were introduced about a decade ago as a higher end version of the popular Baitrunner series. The CI4 series boasts many of the features found in higher price point reels such as the Stella SW and Spheros FE reels.

I am selling my boat and require a HIN. About how much do they cost? cheers Pete

hey guys just wondering what your thoughts are on the most effective land based bait/methods for catching pinkies? i was thinking of trying out the standard paternoster rig with snelled hooks (or single depending on bait size) but im relatively new to this type of fishing and have yet to land a nice pink snapper whilst being still on land. any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

I see in the gov rules that fishing in Marine parks is prohibited.

I am referring to the one in the Hillaries - Ocean Reef area. According to what I see on Google you need to go at least 5.7 km directly west to get ouf of this zone.

On the other hand they say no spear fishing from a boat 1800 meters from shore. The way I understand this all is that we are not allowed to fish off boats unless we are outside this exclusion zone.

Does this hold for Pelagic fish as well.  I am not sure but the reef is about 3 km out so we cannot fish behind the reef, we have to go another 3 km beyond that.  Do I understand this correctly?

shimano are stopping production of the baitrunner series

why would they do this when they've just added new models to the range??

i really hope this isn't the case!

(unless it's some pretty nifty marketing hype)

I was the first to book so theres 9 available places right now if anyone is interested in tagging along =) free transport to and from geraldton via shuttlebus + sleep the night on board

Pro beach fishers, including pro salmon fisherman have been banned from fishing from Port Geographe to Black Point East. Should help recreational salmon fishers get amongst more fish before they are netted.

Hi i have posted this before but im still wondering if anyone on this website has a Furuno GP32 and is willing to offer a little help operating the system i am getting the hang of things but still bit sketchy. Just curious on how to insert GPS co-ords what format they have to be in to enter into the system , and also how to make it so i can follow a co-ord straight out to the spot . Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know if or where i could get an eva power knob for a saltist overhead??

hitting the river tomorow for some big winter bream lures /placcys only planning on launching at matilda bay early .. just need own gear. pm if interested

cheers brenz

went to the breamers social day at the moore yesterday and whilst the weather was looking crap the fishing was great. heaps of fish landed over the day but nothing of epic size. my boat ended up with my livewell full with in 20 min and began upgrading within 40 minutes. ended up with my 2 fish both around 29 to the fork but were very skinny at 850 grams for the 2 fish combined . the biggest bream was 650 grams so once again not big . but with the average fish landed being 20-30 fish per boat including some salmon trout thrown in aswell made for a action packed day , and with the weather the way it was couldnt have hoped for any better. also on a upside gave me a chance to flog the new rod made by crony and would have to say one of the best bream rods i have ever picked up and so versitile making both placcys vibes and hards easy to fish wich many other rods fail to do .

hi guys

what do u think of the blue starlo sticks?

mainly the lighter ones

cheers matt

Hey Guys,

I was fishing hillary's marina the other day and there were heaps of herring around. I want to know what is the best way to catch them? Best rig and bait to use for them etc

There seemed to also be squid around aswell. What rig would you use for these? are lures any good?

It was really frustrating as i have never caught one and would love to start catching them consistantly.

I classify myself as a rookie but would like to learn more

Really appreciate any responses.

Thanks,

Reuben

ok, just doing a favour for a freind of mine. what would be your preference between these two rods. Daiwa TD Zero 7'0 4-10lb or Pflueger Trion 7'0 2-4kg. the price difference dosnt matter as such. thanks guys.

hey.

i keep reading on east coast mags that egimax spray is good for wen the squidding is slow. so my question is who stocks them in wa??

i sore on the bcf website they sell it but i havnt seen it here, but then again i have looked for it yet. so if any of the sponsers sell it or anyone knows who sells it please let me know.

cheers danno

hi guys just wondering if you guys rate fin nor jig rods?.looking to match it to my 5000 stradic bit of an alround lightish boat setup bait\lures.cheers 

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone would like to share their way(s) on how to calm a fish down, so that you can get back your hooks back without it thrashing on you.

I would usually turn the fish upside down (belly facing up) to get my hook(s) back. This usually keeps them clam for some weird reason.

anything decent been caught recently apart from Ethans snapper?

thinking of doing some fishing tonite, hoping the weather will bring something in! :D
