pansize, sorry, i meant mansize landbased pinky...
Submitted by deefa on Tue, 2016-02-23 13:42Dusted off some fishing gear the other night , and headed off to catch up with a long term friend, talk bullshit, out 'crude' each other, and do a bit of line wetting as well. By sun-up, i'd seemingly lost the bet. She had out cruded me, and (sigh) outfished me, and i complied with the pre arranged bet, to refer to her only as 'Queen'...
What she didn't know was i'd used the out going current to position my whole herring to be sitting in nice & close to a pylon supporting the bridge, thinking that when the tide slowed/stopped, i'd have a fair to middling chance of hooking something reasonable enough to overthrow the queen, and claim the crown for myself.
Do you guys think what i landed trumped my friend? Landbased, no gaff or net, all smiles... 8kg's for those interested :-D

Submitted by Dean78 on Sun, 2016-02-21 21:25First post as we rarely get a chance to get out and dont have great success.
Tried trolling for the first time, Hillarys up to Jindalee way and back again with no luck so ready to pack it in and then when close to Hillarys, mate got this one so high fives all round! Awesome to get reward for the time. Went 120cm.

Submitted by Grey Ghost on Sat, 2016-02-20 21:51Thanks OceanSide Tackle and Pflueger. I won an awesome Pflueger tackle bag and Pflueger Salt Spin 80 reel in the Sunday anniversary raffle. Thanks for all the help and advice over the past couple of trips to the shop to help me catch some fish as well. Miles away from my house but worth the drive

Fish, fish and more fish.
Submitted by doubleheader_king on Sat, 2016-01-30 15:30A few photos of my fishing adventures in the past few weeks out of a camera load. Caught many big dhufish including a new pb at 16kg although my my favourite times were spent chasing sharks down in Hamelin with a mate of mine. Running up and down the beach sight casting bronze whalers in the rain was awesome. Watching them take your bait then jump fully out the water and rip drag off is very cool. After landing and losing many I saw a monster dark shadow cruise behind my balloon. Soon my whole salmon had been taken by a rather large fish. It ran for 300m in seconds before we became slightly concerned about stopping it and yep, it happend! Got spooled of my 600m of line on a full lock Saragosa 25k. Maybe next time I'll take a my Trynos 50. Max

Inshore yellow tail kings
Submitted by Paul_86 on Sat, 2016-01-23 13:12Out from hillaries this morning for an anchor and burley, got a few decent black ass early on and a few snook and skippy. Then my mate hooked a good 6ft plus shark, seen it swim past the boat and eat the floating mulie bait and then took off, no chance of stopping it. Few more bits and pieces and then had a few nice yellow tail kings come out and play, good fun on 20lb and 10m's of water.

Tuna Virgin No More
Submitted by ASD14 on Fri, 2016-01-22 07:13Hi guys,
Me and a good friend took my boat out wide last weekend chasing tuna for the first time (here in south Australia).. ended up catching 4 tuna all up, they were all around the estimated 15-20kg size. Lost one that would have gone 30kg easy, after long fight :( oh well that's fishing I guess..
Anyway, super happy with my first attempt, and got such great satisfaction from doing it in my own tub! I can now say, im hooked on tuna! Ha.

Last couple of breaks clean up
Submitted by Piggy on Sat, 2016-01-16 01:45Havnt posted for a while so thought while Im bored at work I will post some pics of my last 2 breaks from just before christmas and early january.
Really have to love Western Australia for what it has to offer us fishos... In the photos you will see....

2. Final day of having my pots in, still bagging out on whites in 30 - 35 metres
3. Big cray feed.... Cray Thermidore
4. Crab feast.... Got 40 crabs in 2 boats in an hour
5. Some random ground we found on the way out to our spots.... Ended up staying there and bagged out in an hour and a half
6. Nice feed caught during our 2 day trip to Jurien bay... this was day 2 catch
7. This is day 1 catch up in Jurien... Left Perth at 4am and was bagged out by 9am!!
8 & 9. This is some sort weird shell thing that came up in one of our cray pots.... If anyone could tell me what it is it would be greatly appreciated.. It went back in the water but would like to know what it was.
Hope you enjoy the pics!!
