Hi all wanted to go camping today around serpintine area for a spot of redfin. Anyone know of a camping ground around that way as  can't travel too far away. Prefer off beaten track with toilets ta guys

Guy's free spot available just bring your rods & local knowledge, the Mrs has said she will pay your way to get out of coming early Sat & Sun mornings. Like to go out wide & chase some good fish, Boat is 23 foot glass with 430l fuel so have decent range. Launching from Emu point @ 5am both days.

First three attempts as a fisherman have been complete failures.    I do love gettin tha rods out though.    I'm sure theres fish out there right?   What day is lookin best for my fourth attempt?    Probly be another beach effort.     I don't want my rods staying virgins for much longer.   

I'm headed down south next week and hope to get a bit of fishing in (in between all the surfing).

I've heard of yellowfin whiting being caught around the Dunsborough/Quindalup area along the sand flats there. One species I havent caught but keen to go see if I can hook into a few. Is there any tips anyone has for catching them? E.g. time of day, tide, gear, etc. Ideally I want to get some on plastics or fly but maybe i'll revert to crawling some squid tentacles along just to be sure they're there

Probably will try for some squid and snorkel for a few crabs after dark too. If any fellow fishwreckers down there at the same time want to catch up for a fish or a surf, let me know.

HI I just came back from a great trip back from steep point. we didn't even get close to our quoter. Thier was one group of ten ppl that all had thier bag limit 200kg and another group of 5 that took out thier hundred. who needs that much fish really be realistic. Out of 2nd group only 2 ate fish but they had ppl with them so they could take more and did. we caught heaps keeped 4. whats is everyone elses thought. how much does one really need and when are the fishery's going to do some thing about it. I want my kids to be able to head up thier as what i have done.

morning fellow FW crew - woke up this morning in sunny esperance after a liesurely drive down from perth yesterday. HEre for the next five days and was wondering if any local fishos would like to help me out with a few pointers as to where to take the family for some light tackle fun. Obviously if someone wants a deckie across the weekend I would love to volunteer. Send me a PM if you don't want to share publicly but any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance guys. Any offers will be reciprocated with a trip anytime someones in perth or cash/beer.

Whatever you do just do it with foresight and just enjoy. I wish you all well and look forward to some really good 2010 cheer here. LOL

While up in Exmouth for xmas we took a run out to Adam and Jeffs favourite goldband spot.We dragged the billfish gear on the way out with no success so it was out with the bottom gear.Grandson Alex got his first goldband,Jeff got 3 and I got a big nor west blowie untill 2 big dolphin fish showed up.It was a quick tie a hook onto the spare rod---bottom gear with 30lb braid,a bit of bait and after a quick fight which we taped and released it to fight another day.Still trying to work out how to upload the clip.

Things went quiet so out with the billie gear and not two minutes later we had a sailfish on just long enough to get a good look at it jump twice and throw the hooks.As far as fish goes that was it for the day.Ran in to Adam and Renae doing their bit to temp a billfish without any luck.

Can you get marine sikaflex in white? I just bought some yesterday and it's black like tar won't look great on the boat...

hey guys

just wondering if anyone clears theirs tracks after each fishing trip or leaves them recorded so to avoid them next time. (unless good ground there)

stupidly (i guess ) i have been deleting them, but worrried about memory in globalmap 5200.

cheers

got a new daiwa triforce za 4000 today any one got one just wanted to here some reports on how they are cherz i have the rod too its realy nice

hey guys im looking for a new reel to suit a daiwa saltwater 8ft  8-17 lb probably around a 4000 size reel and looking to spend around 200 -250$

At the moment i have a 15 foot Shakespear ugly stik Gold surf rod and a Shimano Seido 10000FA reel.

Heading up to exmouth for some landbased fishing and wanted to know what i should get for another rod and reel. Want a setup to fish with bait and a setup to fish with lures.

Was thinking the surf rod would be good for casting the baits out but not ideal for using lures. Also thinking the reel is good for lures. So probably looking at buying a rod for lure fishing and a reel for the surf rod. Any recommendations? Budget approx $300.

Thanks for any help

We're going down to Mandurah for new year and I hope to get a bit of fishing in.

We'll be landbased and staying at theMandurah holiday village. My parent are visiting from the UK, but my Dad is practically wheelchair bound due to arthritis in his knees.

Would someone be able to point us in the direction of a few fish? I've had a quick look on google and we're close to the south end of Silver Sands, is this any good for Tailor? Also, there is a promising looking jetty for my Dad to use on Breakwater Parade, any info about what we can catch there would be good (Herring etc) and what it would be like to fish there.

If anyone has any other suggestions for somewhere that's still close to the village, let me know, as long as it's not too far away as I've got a few other kids and a wife to keep happy.

Cheers

John

With my mate Ian down from Pannawonica I decided to head out for a fish. Got to the Quindalup boat ramp at 6.30am and it was packed. Managed to get the last parking bay. Got around the cape only to find boats everwhere in close so decided to go try a spot I found recently that was a good way out.  First drop and I scored a nice pinky. After several drifts and a few more smaller fish I headed out a bit further in the search of more ground. After a couple of minutes driving came across a couple of nice fish on the sounder. Ian hit the bottom first and was on to an average fish. All of a sudden the fish came to life and really started to take some line. We all called it for a big dhuy but as it came into view realised he had a double header of dhuys. The smaller fish (60cm) was in good condition so decided to release it. With a good feed in the esky we called it a day. When back at the ramp there was talk of large tuna being spotted west of the coral lumps. Did anyone else see or hear of this? Some of these tuna were ment to be huge.
