 Or marlin, big yellowfin from the fads.

never been out there but picked up a boat capable of the trip over winter.

Also be happy with a few crays in my pots, only been metro based since Jan this year and the only crayfishing I've done is shallow diving for painteds, so a bit to learn about potting.

PB Swan Flatty

Mon, 2013-10-21 19:09

PB Swan Flatty is defo on the list this summer. I don't eat much fish but I'm quite partial to some crumbed flatty fillets.

It'll be the first summer of owning a tinny, so just looking forward to crabbing and having a flick on the river.

You'll tick the whiting off easy, they are vicious little things, I put it up there with popper fishing for tailor for sure.

Metro Spaniard and yellow fin tuna.

 

Not targeted them at all in Metro waters so any pointers from those do find them would be appreciated :)

Will probably look NOR up form hillarys to two rocks, as well as the Fads.

Dont think the venture in that shallow, most would be caught out around the fads would be my guess. the bigger ones out in the trench.

Beau, you get any mackies last summer?

Tue, 2013-10-22 11:19

Nah mate just a shit load of sharkies. Had schools of them swimming under the ski with a couple big spaniards thrown in but couldn't get past the sharkies. At least I know where to try this summer. We got a couple in Jurien in March I think we'll try up there again this summer.
I'm really hoping we get some better size sbt this season too rather than just 2kg fish everywhere

Be Glad just to get a line in

Tue, 2013-10-22 13:31

With the O/S work keeping me busy for the last 12 months and the mandatory duties around home I'll be happy to get away and drown some bait. Be looking at a few overnighters when i get the chance either north or south. Good weather roll out the swag crack a beer and soak some bait. Not much of a fan for the howling S/W'er during summer.

But in saying that wouldn't mind a good size mulloway, a good session on tailor and dare I say lets see what the salmon season will be like to close out. Might head upto K town to catch up with a mate up there.

For all you guys wanting to

Tue, 2013-10-22 18:27

For all you guys wanting to get whiting on poppers, I HIGHLY reccomend the Strada Viral 70 and Bassday Crystal pop, both in clear, translucent light brown or tanslucent yellow. Replace the rear trebble with small trailing assists, I get mine from the bluewater stores.
I might get some footage next trip and throw together a clip for you guys.
Good luck!
