Hi Guys,

The weather was looking promising yesterday so I told work I had uni assignments to do and instead took off for a fish.

Got to the Point Peron ramp at about 5 and got to our spot at 7. The swell was shit as it was close together and chopped up. it was pretty hard to make good progress. Doing about 10kn all the way to our spot roughly 50ks out. It probably doesnt help being in a 5.5m bowrider!

Got to the spot which was firing all day. No Dhuies though which was a pity!

Took home an 80cm Queenie (First one ever too!) a 70, 60 and 62cm pinky and 2 Nannas. Caught a heap more pinkies, small nannas and a 50 cm queenie - all released as we wanted the bigger fish. Hopefully they are making babies now!

Just got a few questions:

Foxfish - are they good eating and do they count to the baglimit?

Is the baglimit 8 demersal per boat or 2 per person? e.g we had 3 ppl on board - could we take home 6 or 8 fish?

Are queenies demersal?

I also need a fish ID. my mate caught the most retarded looking fish. It is the second image down...

Overall it was a good day. Got back to the ramo in an hour.

Cheers for reading!

funny thing was no back  boat  or dingys got me? let the rest go great fun  ..i never fished ...sucks being decky...we also got a good feed off tailor...

1 off these fish is classed as mine ...stripped off gaff in one hand knife in other.the new occo guy in town doesnt use floats ...swam down 10 feet gaffed fish swam back to boat ,,and thought (that was stupid) l.o.l ...my dan and peter

took my boys boss and dan out ...heres peters first

so headed out today for a bash in the sound, anchored up just near the naval base on the drop off landed 10 pinkies ranging from 400-920 kept 4 for the boat . all out of then tinny, then a white longer than the tinny decided to show up....

Lucky boy to be able to stroll down to the local and still catch Salmon regularly on softies! caught after lunch today on a 3" power bait casper clear along with another 3 x fish.

Now I need to wag another couple of weeks off work...

Headed out last night on my boat from woodmans point for a night snapper session in the sound with my dad and gf. Bit of a bumpy ride with rain forecast later on. We headed to our first spot, set the anchor and began the berley trail. Nothing much was happening, except for me making rigs since I left all my premade rigs at home! Stayed about 45 minutes and decided to move on to our next spot. Despite some good readings on the sounder not alot was going on.

It was already dark by now and our chances weren't looking good. But decided to try one last spot. The sounder lit up, we set the anchor, lines in and before we could even get a burley trail going, dads line went off. Before he could grab the rod, line snapped. re-rigged him, line in again and within moments it screamed off again, a short fight and snap again. It was hard to stop these things. He got sorted, line back in the water and finally it was my turn.

After a hard fight, some big runs, and violent head shakes up came the first pinky of the night! On 30lb braid was a pretty fun fight.

Then chaos struck, with one snapper on the deck, my girlfriends reel starts screaming, she was making good ground on him and he was nearly up. my other rod goes off and dad grabs it as I'm still wrestling to get the hook out of the first. This time he was able to slow it. With the lines almost crossing over, my girlfriends line goes slack, the fish had bit through the 100lb leader leaving 1 hook behind. Meanwhile dads snapper surfaces followed by a 5-5.5 metre shark that grabbed it.

Reset the lines and my girlfriend then pulls up a big pinky measuring around the 10kg mark. Dad then hooks the biggest of the night weighing in around 11kg and measuring 97cm. Was hooked on a piece of squid on a single hook (was the snell rig that was bitten through before)

I then got sharked

And then the last pinky went to me smaller then the other 2 but well above average size.

All up we hooked 10 pinkys, boated 4 and a half. Lost 1 and a half to the shark, and lost 5. I think the 30lb may have been a bit light considering I had to try get the fish up pretty quick so they didn't get sharked.

Headed in with 4 big pinkys

mid morn ...2 squid 1 fish ....clean and solid...

Belated CR on fishing in WA

was task by my company to test out a couple of rods in WA, we had great fun using them for jigging and btm fishing

Had a nice run of KG's last week!

This bugger went 55cm PB for me!

  went for pink bash this morn..i will never put whole squid on again...hurt like hell ..35 feet off water ...pic doesnt do the size justice...quick photo off the big bugger swam..someone else can catch him...l.o.l..the good old daiwa 4.0 (overhead)

Took a mate from Perth out yesterday, to a fav little spot trying to put him onto some reef species. Managed to stretch his arms on queenie after queenie....they go hard in 15-20M. Ended up with 5 for the morning, home by 11am ready to watch the Eagles!

Hi guys,

We had an even better day in the boat with crazy Eddie yesterday.

I landed the first fish (again), a shark mackerel, apparently that's a big one (Pic 1). 
 
Then Syd got runs on the board with this big GT, we're guessing high 20's maybe close to 30kg (Pic 2). 
 
Then I answered back with an even BIGGER GT! I think mine's bigger, Syd is arguing that it was the same size. I'll let you be the judge (Pic 3). (It's so bigger!) 
 
Then we saw a whale shark. We cast lures at it but there weren't any cobias under it :) (Pic 4). 
 
Then Syd caught a shark mackerel and we were even (Pic 5). 
 
It was nearly time to go home and Eddie decided we should try catch a bill fish on our way back. So I drove the boat (Pic 6) while he set up the outriggers. :D 
 
And then I caught a sail fish! WOO HOO! It was friggin' huge and I caught it on a 15kg spin outfit. Go me. Fish of the trip (Pic 7 & 8). 

 
And today is our last day here and we're sad cos we're not ready to come home. And it's been raining all night and all morning (how lucky are we that we got the good weather yesterday!). So we got in the car to go to the shops to get some things for the road trip back and lo and behold.....the car wouldn't start! HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! YIIIPPPEEEEEE!!!! We'll have to stay cos we can't drive anywhere. Alas, the local mechanic had a battery that was just the right size. Sigh. So we will be on our way tomorrow and will slowly make our way back up the coast and will be home soon.

If ever you're in Exmouth and want to go fishing in a boat just ring Eddie from Peak Sportfishing. What a legend.

 had a nice day out of tworocks last week ,with a pb baldie ,the sambo was hooked deep ,and kept for fish cakes,also found some new ground and nail a few red throat snapper so its good ground!!!!!!!!!

 Going to have a crack at a snapper off the rocks in the morning  ,any body had any luck in the northern suburbs lately?????I Have a spot where i lost one last year,fingars crossed !!!!!!!!!

 Heres a couple fish from the sound yesterday. Was a bit quiet on the snapper front but I was happy with that lil panny on 8lb for the table. The morning started off bad when I nearly cleaned up a boat that was at anchor with no lights on in pitch blackness, when I saw the boat it was parrallel with us about 15m away on the port side, could have been a complete disaster and was pretty shaken up after. D!ckheads...

Gday fellow fishwreckers

Was a great start to trout season for me yesterday.

Got to harvey dam nice and early. Didnt get wet and managed to nail a nice brown(thanks guys) of 51cm.

How did everyone else go?

Cheers

Dan

two that i kept from this morning.  38 and 33 cms  great on 2kilo gear

 Flew into Perth from work on Wednesday night unfrortunately missing the rally, would have loved to tow the ski up there. Anyway, teed up a session for Thursday morning with Moking who purchased a ski only a few months ago after enquiring about jetski fishing on this forum. Plan was to be on the water early with a nice burley trail flowing by the time the sun just started to rise, which IMO is an indicator for the snapper to start to feed. I left the ramp at 5am and the anchor was set at the spot by 5:10. Moking joined me about 20mins before sunrise and by then i had a bit of a burley slick going on. I had a 9inch Zman Grubz a foot off the bottom with the rod in the rod holder while I worked a squidgie wriggler in glow with 8lb gear. As it started to get lighter i noticed the mass of yellow-tail in the burley trail and then as the sun poked its head over the hills, like clockwork my rod in the rod holder started to bounce.

I missed the first couple of hits and 10 seconds later a fish came back and hit the plastic hard, mind you this is with no movement of the plastic at all, just the rod in the rod holder in dead calm conditions. I struck hard and proceeded to put my light rod in the rod holder when that buckled over too! There was about 5 seconds where I stupidly tried to fight both fish at the same time with one of the rods between my legs before I realised the smartest move was to put the heavier rod back in the rod holder and fight on the lighter gear first. After a short tussle a nice pansize snapper in the high 50's was in the footwell of the ski. I quickly grabbed the second rod and then realised the fish had backed under the ski and wrapped my line around the transducer. After about a minute of dicking around trying to sort it out with the gaff I made the call to jump in!!

BRRRRRR!!! TO be honest I was sh!tting myself, knowing that a school of snapper was 9m below me and there was nice flowing burley trail the thought of a Great White grabbing my leg started to freak me out. Moking yelled out he was going to bring a towell over and started to reel in his line then yelled out "IM ON, IM ON!!" I managed to free the line and jump back onto the ski and bring up an identical fish to my first while Moking netted a much better specimen at around ~4kgs, his best fish on the ski so far after catching plenty of KGW, herring and tailor the last couple months. I released my second fish hoping for a similar size fish to Mokings but wasnt to be, ohwell!

Congrats Allan I'm sure it will be the first of many!!

 Hi all,

I have finally added a pick of the Shark Mackeral I cought of the rock down a Cheynes Beach a couple of months ago.  Caught it on an Adagio 105 right at the end of the day.  I had told a few guys about it and they have all told me to get a pic up on the site so here it is.

Cheers,

a little bit smaller ,all over ...for dhues for day...i got killed again ...4 kgs ..2 nice dhues..2 big black ass, 4 sharks kept 2...good morn out ...

after falling in water..sunday

hey guys just throwing up a couple of pics from yesterday. Took Jadon from Madeye lures out to my usual haunts up round Lano, got stuck into a few sambos first up, then the dhuis rocked up ,and in force too

managed about 20 by the end of the day, just couldnt find any baldies or pinks!! Jadon caught all his fish on his 7inch flicksticks and i caught all mine on metals. also cracked a new pb for myself weighing in at 16.5kg and measuring smack on the 1m mark, all fish caught in 25m less than 3mile from the ramp. got some wicked footage too, but just waiting to edit then will throw it up on here!!

It's been a long time between sessions on the briney for us lads down here for various reasons & I finally secured a leave pass from house construction by boss woman aided by my ol' man who came down & sorted some stuff for me (might as well have been decked out in UN peackeeping attire, the bloke is a legend!)

Seaquest made a dash to the big smoke & was back down with his pride & joy in tow after a long absence from each other, tears were shed, sweet brief love was made & Amber was not happy!

After weeks of planning due to two other trips getting the can our 3rd Musketeer got done over again & was OOA, subsequently an unhappy crew member allegedly handed in a 'Man Card Revocation' notice for a certain young bloke at Outdoor Sportz who is now known as 'Girly Sue'

I stuck with Jigs & Placcies on Saturday, this stubborn approach cost me & I have concluded you boys can stick those skirt assists square up the pooper valve all I caught was shit fish I am going back to my normal assists!

The sounder was looking good & Seaquest made the move to bait & did very well getting some good tags in but it was a hard day for our usual good dhu bangers! Frustrating but that's fishing, be good to get out again at the end of the week weather permitting to hit up the same marks (now the curse has been laid!)

A standout was this AJ, biggest I have seen this way & was called for a shark most of the way. Slayed on an Ocea Jigger 1500, yep you have to give it to the man!

One of Seaquest's Dhuies that was dispatched on ice for a feed Bring on next week

Caught these king george in the sound last week in 1 hour. Biggest was 41cm
