Has anyone got any good fishing news coming from there easter break only see one on the site thus far????????????????????????????

My first major fish on the stick had a great day the blood was running when catching this thanks to Steve C and Pgreen1 for the day. Yes pgreen1 got the major fish for day with in 3 minutes arriving on the fab. I was using mulie head bait on the drift down. Dad got a king including Steve so fun for all.

Spent a lovely 3 days at Rotto over the weekend with the family.

Caught a nice Harlequin whilst drift baiting on Friday arvo.  He joined a few king prawns which made for a perfect dinner.

Lazing around in Stark Bay Friday and Saturday.  Caught a sized cray whilst snorkelling which was a bonus.

No concerns with the engel, cd player and lights running with this baby.

Well we just got back from a day out wide and a great day at that.

The misus hooked onto 2 Bald chin Gropers at a healthy size of 50cm and 1 will be on the dinner plate tonight.

I ended up with a 36cm Sweetlip Emperor and a 42cm Sand Bass.

If today was this good then tomorrow will surely turn out to be a cracker.

thought i'd start my posting with a pic of a squid i caught recently on rotto from the rocks, they can be a pest at times when chasing tailor and the like but this one i felt onthe mulie, managed to get him(?) in close and quickly threw out the jig to it's demise. The missus whipped it up that night and it was sweet as. Look forward to posting in the future...

you wouldnt believe it but we christened the boat with a douldbe header of dhue,s my mate caught them .. i joind some leader to his old line topeed it up made the rig,he set the bait and .. yup it was on two beauty dhue,s not bad for first deep sea fish on new boat/ sorry theres no pics  just put the digital in the boat.. bring it on this weekend

Recently i moved house and Shaun (Shabba) was kind enough to move me and a contra was made to get him out one day on the water. We'll we've both been busy but yesterday was half a chance so we took off.

We'll with an early seabreeze forecatsed, waisting some time with one of our crayboats i finally headed to one of my pinky spots. This spot has produces some good fish to 8kg and that last big fish i released. This time i decided to keep a good fish for a feed if it came up and we'll this fish on my driftbaiting gear was no exeption. Didn't get a proper weight but this 20lb plus big honky head pinky put up a great fight in 40m.........a buzz!

Shaun had a ball getting plenty of solid/big KG's , dhufish, baldie and a mix of other species and did very well indeed. A big respect from me as he released many quality fish and farmed some of my spots....thanks mate ;)

We fished 18-40m for the day and didn't have much fishing time but had a good day none the less!

just a quik report on the local beach went down to citys bit windy but still ended up with a few tarwine few choppers and 4 tailor over 35 cm wasnt slow at all as all fish were caught and released within about an hour cheers brenz

After having a ball lately on driftbaiting for bottom species i thought i'd mix it up and target some pelagic Metro Spaniards. Thursdays fine & hot weather being half a chance i loaded the boat and had a mate Carl as company. We set off to covered plenty of water and after a few weed patches giving me the craps i kept on persisting. The outcome for that day was two spaniards coming onboard my boat and the Halco 190XDD and 190DD doing the job.

Here's my Metro Spaniard!

Here's Carls fish!

*** So after the success on Thursday i made a plan to go out again Friday but this was a solo trip. I was wondering if i could do it back to back with Metro Spaniards and covered similar water again for zip. With persistance i kept trolling and tried a few different spots and got into another two fish which made the day ***

Here's the back to back pair, the pic was taken when i got back to my shop!

Just a few pics of the 17 i got on the weekend down mandurah and they were all full

Can anyone help

I'm in the process of getting a new navman plotter with a bigger screen is there a way of transfering the informantion from one plotter to another because I sure don't want to have to do it manualy GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurricane Shazza hit Kwinana in the early hours of Monday 26th
November 2007. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering 'Faaackinell'.

The hurricane devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of
damage. Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many
locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived. The
Kwinana Times reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Kwinana.

One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said 'It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two Joachim and River slept through it all.'

Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal. The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals.

Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found
large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards,
Jewellery from Kmart, and Bone China from Big W.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most
sought after - items most needed include: flannelette shirts, tight
blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg
boots and any other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked
beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.

Donations of $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue 25s and
a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

**Breaking news**
Kwinana Uniting Church has cancelled their local 'Nativity Display'
due to their inability to find three wise men or a virgin. Please don't
forward this to anyone living in Kwinana - oh, stuff it, they won't
be able to read it, anyway!

caught this little 74cm flattie last weekend behind GI in about 35 meters fishing for kgs at the time thought it was the bottom at first until it took about five meters of line 2nd biggest ive ever caught

Went to the Busselton jetty observatory a couple of weeks ago with the kids
not bad down there .There was a couple of nice size blue groper feeding on the
pylons I all I could think of was how I had left my dive gear and spear gun
in Perth .Oh well they are safe for a few more weeks.
I'll post some pics up when I get home of before and after shots

P.S if you would like to see some Blue Groper feeding and free swimming I
suggest you get down there in the next week or so.

Just kidding I want shoot them

Had a wicked day out with Gribbo today with good conditions and light south westerly winds keeping the temperature down. The fishing was slow until we found some bait and with the 10 o'clock magic hour called it all happened.

First to chew was a nice saily that hit second time round after checking out the spread. Lots of airtime ensured a good fight and plenty of fun, with the first sailfish landed and released after a few photos we went back to it.

After 10 minutes of trolling my skirt got smashed and had line peeling off into the distance. Gribbo was on the ball and snapped some action shots of a small black marlin heading westbound. He dived deep for quite some time and some manuevering had him beat after 15 mins. A quick photo and he was released to fight another day, stoked, a marlin and a sailfish landed before 11.

With the lines back out the third strike came faster than the second and a black marlin of 35-40kg hit Gribbo's lure hard and went airborne. About 5 minutes into the fight he shook the hooks to our disappointment. With the baitball shutdown we headed deep and could only find a fun sized yellowfin tuna.

Heading in closer to the back of the reef we raised one more junior marlin that took a sniff but wasn't into it. Whilst dragging divers over the shallow stuff we had a mack tuna sharked in a bloodbath and a small spaniard that was released to jaws. Here's a few pics of a sick day on the Exmouth water.

Out this morning we were greeted with "white horses" for a good part of the whole morning.

Fishing the 25m mark for King george, just behind 3 mile reef.

First couple of drifts we did without a drift anchor, and it was impossible to hold bottom, and it was a pretty big chop about 1m at this stage.

After slowing down are drift we started to get onto a few fish, but nothing huge.

Undersize pinkies, skippy and other reef creatures were pretty common. Persisting we managed to bag a few more reef fish and a small sambo, which proved fun on the light gear.

A few more drifts and we had foxfish, 1 Kg, a few undersize dhuies, leatherjacket. And finally we hooked upto what we though was a decent fish, with a 15min fight, a big ray came into view...

Finished the day catching more small pinkies, gold spotted sweetlip, skippy and wrasse.

Released majority of the fish, but came home with a feed.

Out early today and was pretty choppy early on but we persisted and headed out to the 40m mark. 

Fished a couple of spots for the morning, then headed in around lunchtime with the SW sea breeze.

Gday all,

I've got a bad note about Burswood. Me and my uncle went for a late afternoon Bream session untill about 8.00pm and landed 11 Bream ranging from 25cm to 40cm on bait. But once returned back to the car, the whole car windows were all smashed in including the windshield. So luckily I had my phone with me and called my parents and my cousin to come pick us up. I'm not happy on what as happened, so all those rotten mungrels out there who don't have lives go and rot in hell.

Just telling all the fisho's that keep aware on your car and make sure you take all you valuables with you! 

Cheers...
