Headed out of Pt Peron on Thursday arvo planning on a sambo jig but got sidetracked on the way out by numerous tuna schools. Throughout the day we woulda seen around 8 schools of stripeys and sbt, the stripeys pretty good size but from what we saw jumping the southern blues are only about 1-2kg. The bust-ups probably started at about 35m and further. Got a couple tuna and a couple rat sambos, seems the bigger fish have moved on to congregate together elsewhere and the smaller fish have stayed behind but still got a bend in the rod so pretty happy. Rigged up the jig with a skirted assist from Jigging Sport Australia and found I got way more hits than what I usually do jigging without skirted assists, just have to get them off the bottom quick before a dhu or snapper find em. Got some footage so threw together a short clip aswell. Make sure to watch in 720p.

 Decent little shovel at horse beach a few weeks ago, nice little fight and let him live another day :)

Hi FW'ers,

Just letting you all know that might be coming up to Green Head yahooooooooooooo they have fixed the ramp that has sunk so know you have two ramps, looking good for people coming up for Xmas, was their at the beginning of the week and its a go for the ramps. No seaweed and beach looks good, water ok as well

Spent all my life trying to get the perfect boat. Then when I find one bloody grandson wants to take over

I have decided to remove the origional post.

Like most have mentioned it was just a bit of fun and no harm done.

But the fact is any media about sharks (good or bad) in Coral Bay is bad for tourisum as a whole.

Unfortunately some people are that narrow-minded that seeing this may make them avoid Coral Bay.

I know everyone on here is smarter than that and that is why I origionally just posted a couple of photos for this fourm to enjoy.

But I dont want the media getting any more infomation on the matter so I have decided to remove them.

We have been inundated by phone calls by the media but have just said we know nothimng about it. 

The story in the paper was positive (and very funny) but is still not good for tourisum in Coral Bay.

 Hey all :)

Last Sunday i decided it was about time i went down to my favourite little stretch of flats fishing in the canning river. I got down there at around 1pm and as per usual there was little wind around and the conditions were perfect. I started to have a flick in front of the rowing club beside the canning bridge . Within 20 minutes of fishing i managed to pull a couple of nice sized fish out amoungst the blowies. One of those fish was a 32cm bream which put up an entertaining fight on the 4lb braid. The other fish being a decent sized lizard (Flathead) coming in at 46cm. The z-man grub 2.5inch watermelon causing the damage. A couple of hours had past and my mind was starting to go else were so i decided to move along up to the stretch of beach inbetween the rowing club and the canning bridge were i saw some rather large schools of baitfish being bullied around by something. So i changed lure to a zx30 and had a couple of casts near these schools of baitfish. Within the space of half an hour i manged to land 3 tailor (38cm, 33cm and 36cm) and another little black bream coming in at 28cm. With 20 minutes left before mum was coming to pick me up i kept plugging away at this little stretch of beach and manged to snag another flathead coming in at 34cm.

 First time dragging our boat up to Coral Bay.

Had a great time and in one day went 3-3-2 on baby blacks,.. The one we dropped was a good fish.

same day had a cracking time on YFT.

cant wait to get back to Perth and get into in over chrissy.

syked

 Saw this on the revinue raisers face book page. Any one see it? 

 hey all prob going up to kalbarri on my days off on a few weeks what is the bezt place to stay that i can take wife and kids fishing but when they annoy me i can still go get some monsters. Just looking to go off beaches and rocks this time. Also whats getting caught and any tips???? Thanks guys

had my cray pots out for a few weeks now ,and one in particular has an unusual large amount of algae growing on it ,question will it affect catching and why is this so,its a pro pot not home made / 3/4 any advice would be appreciated

im finding that dhui fish in particular has had a fishhy smell this past year when vacuumed sealed  frozen  & then  cooked , but not in the past years when just wrapped in glad wrap ,anybody had similar experience , or just  overly fussy?.

after work on friday me and the guys loaded up my car and headed out to a little place i call heaven, camped the night and got up early (before sunrise) and started the long treck in with the dive and fishing gear.
mission for the day was to catch and release with the line fishing and shoot enough for a feed so we all could take a few kg of fish home. first 3 casts for me ended in pulled hooks, first foxfish off the rock and first queeny as well and we all had similar results with the baits before we switched to crabs and grouper where the targets. cowan and jayden had the best luck with both getting some rats and pulling hooks to some monsters!!!

after the sun came up a bit couple of us jumped in to try shoot a few fish and explore. got a heap of fish and came back to the line guys having got a heap more and let a lot go and kept a few because of injuries getting them up the rocks.

11:30 and we had over 50kg of fish in our rock pool and that was enough to keep us all happy and we all got a few fish each. total for the morning between 5 of us line fishing and spearing including released fish was 7 blues to 21kg, 8 queenies, 4 fox fish, 2 harlequin, 1 boarfish and lots of other bits and pieces. back in town and all cleaned up by 5 pm.

today we got up late with a hangover and headed out late to a rock ledge close to town to try for some sambos. jimmy got a nice little one on 40lb and a live herring and lost a good one on soft plastic and i hooked a monster on my saltiga 5000 and full lock i couldnt turn it and after a few minutes i had a knot fail and away that went. really frustrating as it was a very big fish!!!

 

Will try make this my last report for a single shark, looks like it's gonna be a good summer for the tigers so don't want to bore everyone with multiple reports.

Tonight makes 3 Tigers in 5 days with a mate landing the 3rd tonight, no photo's of the 3rd one just yet need to get them off him tomorrow. 

This little female was the second landed, poor thing couldn't even pull line against 5kg of drag. For the record I was using 200lb uncoated wire and fished no more than 5kg of drag, the exact same as was done for the near 3m tiger previously caught. 

All caught cockburn sound area.

Cheers

Spent the weekend fishing the rocks around albany. 
saturday the plan was for a sambo or kingy, first spot we went to wansnt flash so we moved and the next spot was much better. got a few small things and a salmon before jimmy has hooked up on the 30lb setup and his little 6000 stradic is singing away. after lots of freespooling and gaining and loosing line and somehow keeping it away from the heavy reef this unknown finaly tired out and we got the first glimpse of it after 40 minutes and its broke the surface!! HUGE SAMBO!!!! we where stoked, got it up on the rocks and what a monster, jimmys first sambo off the rocks and a very big pb to beat. 148cm and 28kg.

sunday we did a bit more exploring at new spots and Aron has picked up his first queeny off the stones along with a lot of other fish we caught on plastics throughout the arvo. another good weekend on the south coast just cant wait for the next now.

We had the annual WAUC cray comp yesterday, I got lucky and found 2 nice sized crays....Freedive looped, first was on the roof inside a crack of a swim through, approx 2-3m from the surface. The other was in about 6m. 

Rotto is a bit thin cray wise right now......for me, you cant beat five fathom bank for crays. I didnt see any whites, crays that is.

Although I did share the water briefly with a large school of dolphins for the first time, that was pretty cool  
 

Got this tiger this morning around 4:30am, approx 20 minutes of very dirty fighting.

Awsome stripes on this little girl!

Swam away strong.

 yabby is yabby , some take real pics.far out pic is pic,

Well being that i couldnt get away for a fish last break i decided i would catch a feed of yabbies.

Got more than i needed but the dams needed a bit of a clean out as they where all big bastards and need some to start breeding again.

Few pics of them and the photos dont really do them justice.

Christened my new live fibre LBG just a few hours after picking it up last night. Not huge but it's a good start to the season struggled to move her on my own without any waves to help, she had some serious weight for her size think she might of been pregaz. 

No measurement or better photo's was a quick fight and quicker release, was lucky to land her by the time I ran in to grab her the 20/0 circle had come loose not sure how that's even possible.

Cheers

 Been busy busy lately and got out for a few shore dives last week to bag a few more nice Crays with lots of soft or moulting Crays from what I seen. Also managed a line fish after work on Monday for a few pesky bait thieves and a big shark lost on the 20lb combo

back to Albany on Saturday and plans for Sunday where to go for a dive at a remote place a huge walk from the car that was a far enough drive as it was. My brother tagged along as I said he would be in with a chance of getting a blue off the rocks fishing.

45 minute walk from the car all downhill with the dive gear we arrived at our spot. Suited up, jumped in and instantly remembered why I love diving south. 20m vis, fish everywhere and deep water so close in. I left a heap of queenys and blues and few other reefys as I was thinking about the walk out, got a pb deepest recorded dive at 24.2m before I lost my spear to a cave from trying to get a big harley. I got out while my mates kept diving and help my brother land his first blue grouper off the rocks. Mates get back with the biggest blue I've seen over 35kg and a 80cm queeny and after packing up started on the 2 hour walk back out. That walk with just my dive gear was one of the hardest things I've done but well worth it and can't wait for the next adventure around the south coast.

 wind up ,no good for cray dive, went to a friends property with good mate , got a great feed some of the biggest yabbs i have ever come across.few laughs and beers great day, 1 st pick first cook batch .home now, great feed garlic yabbs bread and butter washed down with a few tubes.,,,,,

 Went out to rotto yesterday if a fairly strong offshore breeze. Jumped in the water at west end and chummed up for about an hour trying to entice a possible early mackie and some yellow tail kingfish. Saw one over a meter but was out of range and managed to nail one 60cm. We ended up going into about 8m of water and bagged out on crays in 2 hours free diving.  

 Headed out to rotto to try jig up some sambos yesterday and they were on! took us a while to find the school but when we did they were hungry! Ended up with 25 of them from 5-10kg and then headed in shallower to try for some tailor. We arrived at a lump near Carnac in 2 metres of water (yes only 2 metres) and everything was looking great, second cast resulted in a 45cm tailor which got chased in by an absolute horse of a sambo. I rigged up my mates torium 20 (I knew we were dreaming running 50lb) and out went the big tailor live! within a minute the sambo was chasing our livie all over the place and eventually nailed it on the surface right in from of us. It smoked us but my mate managed to turn its head before it buried is in the reef. I'll let the photo do the talking with this one! also got 16 tailor to 50cm and some snook ect.

 These were a suprise today, in real close, no lie 5 minutes from my local ramp in my little dingy, depths from 2-7m. Freedive. 
 

 A couple of gummys taken a few weeks ago, 99cm and 1m, my mate also got a 130cm so together we got 3 in 2 nights :)

ps.. if you do know the location please don't comment it as it gets unfishable when there is too many people, cheers!

First cray dive of this season.

Hid behind Garden Island on Sunday for a couple of quick dives in the 10’s.

3 divers, 24 crays, too easy.

Fresh baked cray served by 1pm.

Cheers Pete

A leisurely start yesterday saw us hit the ramp at noon. Dived a new spot first that looked good on the sounder, but only produced 4 Crays, albeit all good size though. Plenty of sized dhuies and baldies will see us revisit that spot for a freedive when the ban finishes. 

Back to another spot we haven't been to in a few years saw us hit the quota, and throw back a few as well, including a few jumbos. 

FYI vinesh87, the jumbo in this pic went 84cm, and there was one behind him that was out of reach of the long loop, that made him look like a baby!! 

Recent GT from the rowelys

From five fathom bank this morning, 2.7kgs....Freediving in 10m, pulled this one away from his girls in a cave

my little tinnie loses its jumbo virginity too!  :)
