Hello Crew,

Haven't posted for a while, so something to brag about.

Caught this beauty in 60 meters out of Mandurah.

I will leave it with you guys to estimate the weight.

Cheers

was in gnarloo for a little bit all with a mate and started talking to some older blokes and the invited me out on the boat for a whole day and caught some sick fish on there boat only went for bottom fish no pelagics. but like to say a thnx to the three lads he let me out on there boat and was overall very good trip

 Still can't fish

 Dans back. Nice smelly

  Was just one of those days .... StArted slow but once the sun got out from behind the clouds it was all action... Peeled on 50 lb spin gear trolling.???? Bitten off at the Dacron on my wind on??? Dropped fish !!! Lost my favourite lure to yet another toothy this time attacking the clip and swivel..?? Heaps of long tail busting up so I'll chase them round now with only 80 lb overhead ( no thanks ) or  the Barra gear due to Beeing spooled on the spin .... Yep three epic battles later and I finally managed to put one in the boat....  Too much fun

 After a lot of trial and error and searching for ground etc, I finally caught my first pink snapper. I was out from Rokko with my Daughter and it all came together. She handled the net and between screams and fist pumps we had it on the boat. Absolutely stoked...

Hi all

Here's a few pictures from a weeks fishing in Mandurah in January.

 Couple of salmon from yesterday. Hooked the first one within 2min and the second one 10min later then called it a day.

 Just a couple of fish from the last 3 days of fishing- plenty of fish caught on artificial and bait. Stand out catch would have to be 2 reds over 10kg

 Moved up to Darwin late last year to be closer to my daughter and on arrival had an amazing 2 weeks at the daly bagging my first and then 30 more Barra even dropping a monster on live bait wich  local was claiming well over a mtr.

apon moving to Darwin I started having real trouble finding good fish.

wrong tides in right places . Wrong place right tides. Never having any trouble getting on to good fish back home in wa it was really getting to me and a lot of other ppl were telling me that the territory is no fishing paradise but I was determind to prove the haters wrong.

so as you do you ask questions and listen carefully ( especially at the tackle shop) to where and more importantly ( when) ppl are getting these trophy fish. Well after a couply months I recon I'm starting to get the idea up here and here is a few good fish from the last month or so.... Cheers 

Interesting catch - went down to the mole last night to chase some mulloway along with 500 other anglers. Saw one get caught by the group next to us, a decent fish of about 1m. Heaps of other mulloway and pink snapper landed over the night. Then at about 1am my two mates who I was fishing with decided to walk a couple hundred meters up to the tip to see what was going on up there. 2 minutes later, one of our 6 set baits goes off, I scrambled to get to the rod before the reel got spooled. Got there and it was on, big thumping runs, rod bouncing all over the place - a real battle, and I was on my own! The fish ran straight right down the groin straight into our other rods, making a huge tangle, after a spirited battle I got the monster to the rocks and managed to catch my breath and get my phone out of my pocket and call my mates, luckily they weren't far away. Pretty disappointed to see this big dirty Sambo surface! not a mulloway! but a good fish off the stones none the less. Not sure how big it was but estimated at 20kg +

The fish got smashed up on the rocks quite badly, and it was decided to keep the fish for a friend who doesn't mind eating questionable fish. Ended up giving the Sambo to some young guys who were over the moon to take the fish.

No Mulloway and Pink snapper... But a Landbased Sambo that will probably never be beat.

 Good feed.

 Good fun today.big pike and big squid

Went on a charter today, 16 people and the boat bagged out on Mac's, Black Jews and Gold snapper ( finger mark )

Hi

Me and two mates headed out on good friday for a bash 'west of rotto'. Started a little slow, ended up with a decent mixed bag of demersals. Dhu wasn't the greatest at 60cm, but eyes popping and guts hanging out decided to keep her everything else was a good size, including; two very nice baldies and a good 50cm off shore KGW! even one of the black ass was a horse as far as black ass go.

All in all a good day on the water resulting in a tasty mixed bag!

what an awesome day on the water 6am launch at peron bit slow early then dhu after dhu after baldy biggest went 19.5 kilo

Just got back from another epic trip to Abrolhos Islands with Saltwater Charters. Great weather and fishing as usual, lots of fish falling to jigs with Jigging Sports Australia assists, plastics and pelagics on stickbaits. Massive thanks to Compleat Angler Nedlands for going out of their way to helping me out before the trip, cant reccomend these guys enough, well worth the 45min+ drive for me to get there. Big ups to Craig and deckie Josh for making it a great experience as always.

Heres a few photos from the trip..

Thanks for reading guys,

Beau.

 Flick around with lures

Went out for a fish on sunday and caught this 12 kg blue groper in 37 mtrs of water + 3 baldies.

 Got a chance to tick the Barra box today and landed this 87cm model.

 Hey me and a few friends spent the weekend at Hamelin bay where we were greeted with some nice schools of salmon, we were fishing from the beach which was a little harder when all the boats were right on top of the school but we still got stuck into a few

Young blokes mate Jacko with his current P.B. Been out twice PBs went 8, 12 and this 18kg model.

Nice work Jacko

Fox Fish from last Friday.
Had to take picture from home, brag mat left in the shed

 I went out with Wayne yesterday from 7-3 out of Mindarie for a fish after calling a couple of trips off due to the weather. After the storms on Thurs night I woke up to clear conditions and made my way north to Mindarie to meet up at the ramp.  We headed out to Waynes spot and started off the drifts in some pretty good conditions.  We picked up a couple of sgt bakers and wrasse etc so we moved spots slightly further south after seeing a craypot in the middle of some pretty flat hard ground with some fish shows on his furuno 585.  Started the drift again and it wasnt long before Wayne hooked up properly and up came a nice dhuie.  Only a few minutes after that I got a good hit and was on also, another dhuie just slightly smaller.  

We moved spots again out to another 10 mts deeper to try for some other demersal species and I downgraded hooks in hope of a baldie or kgw.  After a while I got a fox fish and a fair bit later Wayne got another Fox Fish which was the biggest he and I had ever seen.  I switched over to my 20lbs outfit which turned out to be a good move as I got an undersized dhuie which was released in good health as I had brought it up nice and slow on the smaller gear.  We moved inshore for a final go at KGW but it was not to be with just some more butterfish coming up before heading back to the ramp for 3pm.

Dhuies were estimated at 10 + 8kg. I got about six bags of four decent portions + wings from the smaller dhuie, I gave the head and frame to my neighbour for his wife to cook fish head curry and scaled/gutted the foxfish to have whole one night.

Bloody nice day out on the water, cheers for having me along.

Headed out today with Brad for a cracker on the swan, we ended up with 22 blue mannas, had to throw the last two bruisers back.  Definately some of the biggest Blue Mannas I have seen out of the swan this year.

Thanks again Brad, good luck in Walpole next week mate.

 Hey went out on the jetty on Thursday arvo and got this big squid it was a 30 cm hooder I'm heading back out this morning to try for some more here's a pic cheers kurt 

 Hopefuly the pictures are up now as it is nice fish to share

 Only 15 minutes around the PGFC FAD with a skirt which resaulted in a nice hook up. No dollies in sight

Went out friday from woodies around 9am, glass all day with no wind. Pretty slow day, weather was a bit weird and overcast. Started slow with a few black ass being returned here and there. I was jigging, girlfriend was using bait.  Double hook up, she hooked a black ass, I hooked up to what I called as a nice size dhu, her line got tangled on mine and lost it not far from the boat. Nothing else on jig after that, so switched to bait.

She caught a baldy 50cm, few more drifts and moved spots. Found some new ground, lots showing on the sounder but couldn't tempt anything. Decided one more drift, then pulled up another nice baldy and headed home. Went 70cm and 6.2kg.

A good days fishing at the back of Rottnest island WA. first came the pinkie at 100 meters then a quick troll to hook a WAHOO at 210 meters, what a good fight especialy when it got to the boat as I was on my own. Both fish on ice by 11am
