Hello

I have 5 days off in late Nov and want to go fishing I was thinking of heading up north but only really want to travel between 8-10 hours from perth by car and was hoping to get suitable suggestions I will be mainly land based fishing but would also like to go out on a charter for at least one day can anybody help me with suitable locations or even good places to stay and reccomend any charter operators.

Thank  you

hey guys anyone been to the north end park lately been trying to ring them for days and no answer??

 Going to Cervantes on the holidays taking a boat up never fished there before and  wondering what bait/lures I should use for what fish and where should I go on my boat fishing

We have 1 spot available on our 6 day live a board the Mahi Mahi 111 to the Montebello Islands,  departing Exmouth 6am on Sunday 28 October 2012 and 1 available on the trip departing 27 January 2013,  $3,000.00 per person,  all tackle, food and bedding supplied, you only need to bring clothes, towels and toiletries and drinks.  Express your interest, email to MahiMahi1@bigpond.com

Im wondering if theres any spots someone could give me to catch some dhuies because evey time i go up there I just catch sliver trevally and wrasse.

I someone could give me some gps cordinats that would be great.

If so what bait and rigs are the best ect

hey guys has anyone been to golden ponds recently, was thinking of taking a day trip with the wife and was wondering if the fishing is a bit of fun or a waste of time?

On the next holidays I am going to Coral Bay and I am taking my dinghy i was wondering what rigs and outfits i should use and also what fish I will catch and where?

Doing a trip to Zimbabwe a bit down the track, going to spend a bit of time at Kariba and hoping to get into some tiger fish maybe even enter in the tournament they have there. Anyone been in the area who can reccomend a good fishing guide?

Cheers :-)

I am thinking about fitting a stone deflector to the trailer to tow the boat north (or South) after receiving quite a few chips in the boat after the last trip

Are they worth fitting? Can you buy them anywhere? Any tips on making one?

Thanks

I'm currently getting a crew together and planning a trip to steep point and wanted to know what the best time of year for Macks is and how he weather patterns typically change.  I was thinking at the end of March/ beginning of April as hopefully the strong SW will start dying off by then and there will be plenty of macks about.  However, from other forum posts it appears that this period has been dead over the last two years.

Any suggestions on timing would be good with respect to:

1. macks and tuna

2. wind and possible rain offs/cyclones

3. shelter form the prevailing winds - looks like there a bit of shelter from a SW in the mouth (from the chop at least) , though is this where the fish hang out?

Cheers

ps and I know about all the sharks there!

Travelling up to Broome later during school holidays....looking at Port Smith for a few days before hitting Broome. Any suggestions for fishing...taking 4.5m c/c good for creeks and open....Is there any place better than Port Smith on way up?

Suggestions, ideas welcome

 Hi,

Planning a trip to Port Smith in May next year for 12 days. Does anyone know what tides are best to fish there. I have a 4.2 mtr punt is it worth taking or do you reckon there's enough shore based fishing to save dragging the boat a couple 1000 kms.

Any feedback on the place / fishing / weather in May would be appreciated.

just wondering if anyone knows any great barra charters in cairns, going over at the end of the month and wanta give it a try,

thanks

Mrs gates and I are heading to Darwin on Friday morning for 8 days of fishing, golfing and generally bumming around at my sister & brother-in-law's place. He's a mad keen fisherman with a new 6.4m boat and lifetime of local knowledge so I'm hanging out to catch some of NT's finest. 

Hoping to tick the barra box while I'm up there and I'll post a report or two during the trip if there's any noteworthy catches...I'm assured that we'll certainly catch fish.

Also looking forward to some warmer weather....our maximums are their minimums...forecasting 30C up there at present.

regards

My son is mad enough to drive to Kcity from Mandurah for a Jam and fish (hope he brings his drums). Doing stints from Mandurah to Gero, and then to Carnarvon, then Kcity.

What is some decent safe accommodation in Carnarvon for him and his lady to overnight up and down (ha ha - got that pun after I wrote it) from Karratha?

Cheers

Hi Guys,

This is only my second forum post.  The first 1 was looking for HELP on some fishing spots out of Dampier. I didnt realise but in our hire boat we were only allowed out 2nm so couldnt get to any of the GPS spots you guys gave me. Not being from around here i had no other spots close by to fish.

The most annoying thing was watching all the locals zoom past us to get to their favoured fishing grounds. It was that bad that i didnt even catch. NOT A SINGLE THING. So to my point. Im looking for a huge favour. Myself and my mate josh are looking for a ride out on a boat. we are looking at any day between the dates 16th to the 20th of july or the 23rd to the 25th.

Josh is a very keen fisherman with his own boat (over east) for over 20 years and im a novice fisherman but with a real love for the ocean and fishing. We will supply as much Squid ( cleaned tubes ) we will even supply chicken ( ive been told this is a pretty good bait up here ) we will supply any lunch you want and pay for fuel or go 3 ways your choice. If you think you can accomodate us please message me we will need 48 hours notice if possible but 24 should be ok we have all our own gear too OH AND MOST OF ALL WE DONT GET SEA SICK please please please if you can take us.

 we will go to karratha, dampier and because we are real desperate we would possibly even travel to onslow

CHEERS GUYS

 me and the gf are plaining to head up to exmouth on the 14/7/12 gotta be there buy the 16/7/12 at yardie home stead we will be towing the boat. heading back to perth on the 31s if anyone keen to catch a lift give me a bell 0404785149

Hi all , going to be in Coral bay from 31 st july to 11th june , then to exi from that day til 23rd . If your up there and need a deckie , have owned several boats previous , and love being on the water ! Have own gear and all the usual stuff , pay fuel , clean ,can fillet well , and best of all , don,t get sea sick ! Also i am allergic to eating fish so will only take enough to feed the mrs an 3 yr old . Not that keen on freezin too much . PM me if you can help a boat starved fishing addict !

 We are considering going to denham in January , does anyone have any idea about what weather we would expect and also any shore fishing tips for that area? We already have coral bay booked for October, will it be more of the same fishing wise? Cheers

 Hey guys and girls,

Its my 30th bday in October and I want to do something amazing like catching the fish of a lifetime! Problem is I have no idea where to go or what I could catch at that time of year!

Can anyone give me some pointers? It has to be saltwater and put up a good fight! Australia only unless it's really worth a flight. 

Thanks

 Hello Fellow Fisherman - As you can see by the name I am Brisbane based fisherman -

My trouble and strife and the billy lids and me have to decided to drop out off the hustle and bustle of everyday life - Loading up

the van and heading to WA for 6 months - I have always wanted to see the West Coast and next year will be here before we know it.

I searched the net and found this site - Great site I must say - I am a member off Ausfish forum - User name LCC - QLD version of this site.

Unfortunaly I can not hitch the Polycraft to the back of the van. But I will be loading as much fishing gear as I can get away with - The Missus is already

making comments about not enough space for the gear. (could fit the tackle box in front passenger seat)

Anyway the reason for the post is to see if there are any of you WA blokes or Women that may be interested in showing a East coaster

how its done in WA - I have all the gear and am happy enough to chip in for Fuel cost for any skipper - I am a very experienced decky.

Have had boats for 20 years. ( I will do a couple of charters but would prefer to pass on some bucks fellow rec fisher like myself)

Should be in the south of WA around middle of May and will be slowly heading north along the coast to NT.

Will also be doing a fair bit off the beach - Have to buy the gear for this - Any advice in this area would be good - I was thinking

stradic 7000 - with 30 pound braid with a breakable beach rod. Need to feed the family along the way.

Also Happy to return the fishing Experience - Any one form WA want to catch a ride in the Poly in Brisbane feel free to Contact me by PM.

Cheers and happy Fishing

Stephen
