Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has caught any crays by throwing pots from land based positions, e.g. in deeper water adjacent to reefy outcrops or rocky areas?  I live in Geraldton and there are many such areas.  Obviously the large crays are only accessible by boat but I was wondering if legal size are a possibility and I should invest in a pot. Thanks

Sam

Heading to Ningaloo Station camping for a week at South Lefroy for the first time - any advice on rigs, tactics and species caught there etc would be appreciated - cheers

 Grabbed a few Tailor to 50cm and a 55cm Mulli from a nice beach gutter North of Perth. Not huge I know but still a bit of fun and not a bad feed. 

Cheers

I'm heading down to Margaret River in about a fortnight and was hoping someone could give me some tips for an amateur fisher. I've tried squidding on Busselton jetty before, but never seemed to catch anything. I've only got some hand-me-down beach rods someone from the forum kindly donated a while back and smaller rods that I normally hunt herring with.

I'm heading down with a bunch of girls who've never fished before, so even tips on what bait/lures of how to knot up a rig would be great! Also, any reccomendations on time and locations?

I'd be pretty stoked if I got tailor, or whiting, never caught them before. Don't think I'll push my luck with something massive, wouldn't knock one back though.

Much appreciated!

 Hi Guys, new to the site , and relatively new to fishing. ( got the bug about 12 months ago )

Has anyone had any luck fishing beaches from floreat to trigg lately?  I have picked up a couple of smallish mulloway  50 to 60 cm, and 1 tailor.

Also got busted off once , i assume by a shark or ray. I fish these spots purely because I dont have to travel far. 

However I hear that to travel down Mandurah way or north to Mindarie/ Two Rocks will be far more productive.

I fish generally a 13 ft beach rod, ganged mulie , and sinker to suit conditions, and try to pick a channel or gutter where possible.

I will often cast a lure while the mulie sits out.  Any tips to find more success at these areas ?or is it simply a case of having to travel much further ?

Any feedback will be much appreciated. 

 Im looking at all the 4x4 tracks down in Bremer Bay on Google Earth and wondering if those would on any Handheld GPS devices.. or can be loaded?

Does anyone use such a device, recommend a good one?

Cheers,

George.

Hit the rock wall at 6.30 am on saturday By 7.30 am i had a nice pink snapper on the stones And it came in at 660mm

Cheers sherbie

 Anyone fish ocean reef marina?  Whats it like there?

 Anyone know if long point port kennedy is weeded up?

 Hi guys.

Looking for a torium50. The guys at motackle don't have any in stock. Does anyone have or know anyone that mite want to sell

Cheers

Hey Guys, Has anyone out here got a Shimano Torium 50 that they use of the beach (casting). I know you can cast a 30 but not sure if the 50 will be to big to cast.??

Any comments would be great

With the great weekend weather, wetting a line has been more than appealing - herring, salmon, bronzie and even a rare tailor have been on the menu....even the kids are getting in on the action.

 Hi guys.

Does anyone know where I can buy some angle iron from?

Cheers

Is there anywhere land based where I can throw some plastics in for skippy or similar, just want to go have some fun on the ultra light gear. Have been breaming and chasing flathead but things are slow as they arn't really on the bite.

I've seen skippy inside Hillarys where all the resturaunts are but not keen on going in there because it's always packed..

Ps. not keeping any fish...

As requested , its a kymco mxu 400 selectible 4wd/2wd and hi/lo range

set up for beach fishing with 4 aluminium rod racks on rear, front mounted tackle box

canvas seat cover, whip flag, clip on gps ( a garmin etrex)

and we always carry a can of instant puncture repair and a small snatch strap and shackles

as well as some basic tools and a water bottle.We also carry a handheld uhf in a pouch

as well as 1 back at base.

Kmyco is not chinese made , and are about the same quality as a suzuki or a kawka

but not a honda or yammy.

will find some better pics of the bike soon but these tailor were " quadded up" in the gero area.

 G'day guys.

Has the time began for the sharks to move closer to the beaches. Very eager to catch my first bronzie from the beach or rocks

Cheers

Werner

hi all just wondering if anyone can give me some ideas of where to head fishing tomorrow a few friends and i are keen to head out somewhere land based only north or south doesnt really matter we were considering mid day maybe afternoon time. i have no idea about tides, knots, times, weather or anything except for cast and catch haha.

any places and best times to head out would be great not fussed on what to catch either

Thanks :-)

whats fishing like at woodmans point, the actual point not the groyne, i'm going fishing there tomorrow morning and was just wondering what everyones opinion is. you can see ya car from where you fish so i'm sold. what sorta fish you get there, i'm really gonna be targeting small fish but gonna take my big rod. is it worth getting mullies or should i save my cash.

 Gday all, Chasing some ideas on what rod i should buy looking for a 12ft beach rod im going to couple it with a penn spinfisher 850ssm, just need some tips on different rods in the 100-200 dollar range so i can do some further research looking at an okuma x factor or similar, chasing a 2piece rod will be target mulloway, tailor, small sharks etc

 hi guys, 

planning a landbased trip with a few mates towards the end of the year (november-december) and was just after some suggestions as to where is a good place to go, we are looking to target sharks, mackies, snapper, sambas and mullas anything big really. we were looking to go up north at places like shark bay, but have noticed the winds are pretty terrible at this time of year. any suggestions within about 10 hours of perth worth giving a go?

thanks Jay

 Finally caught something bloody decent!!!

Headed out with old mate which i hadnt seen in almost 5 or more yrs.  Got to the spot and not even a nibble the sun was falling fast and out of the blue all these bait fish went nuts i grabbed me rod which had my 2 dolla chinese popper and casted it straite in to the fish. Within a few seconds the first of 2 fish was on.  All went dead for about 5-10 minutes with us both now throwing poppers out wen another bunch of jumping bait came thru again ive hooked on this time a little smaller.  Nothing else after that  So in the end I ended up with a 53cm and 46cm tailor both bigger than my 30 cm from Dunsbourgh last yr and also first ever fish on a popper for me :)  So a big thank u to wade for draggin my ass of the couch.

Hey Guys

I was just thinking about some baits I have been using off the beach over the last few years. In the midwest those little sand crabs that make the holes everywhere seem to me like a reasonable snack for a mulloway/snapper/dhu at the right spots off the beach.  I have tried using them when i can catch one but havent had any hookups.  Has anyone had any success with these?

 I , for one, cannot wait till the water gets a bit warmer and we can get stretched a bit - this winter must now come to an end.

Aim / target specie for this summer:

Tiger Shark

Monster flattie

Some tasters to get the spirit  going. 

What is your target specie for this summer?

 After the birth of our son last week i have had no time to head  out and have a fish.  So ploddin round home the Missus kindly gave me my leave pass to head out for the night.  So i headed down to the Tackle shop to get some new line on 1 of my reels grab some bait and headed to hilliarys.   Went to the left of the platform there and noticed some squid so grabbed me other rod chucked on a jig and bang 15sec later i had my first squid.  And didnt get inked on  so was quite stoked.  Photo wont upload but i was pretty happy with it the hood wld have been approx 25cm.  Also caught my first Metro Flathead which went 33cm and a small whiting which went back out on the big line and was smashed within an hr.  So with a big smile i came home and proved the missus wrong that i can get a squid hahaha.

 Hi gents . I'm on the hunt for a mint secondhand saltiga gt86 if anyone has one please pm me. Thanks ray

Hey guys n chicks, looking to catch some garfish for bait as i'm going up to horrocks in a couple of weeks for a fishing trip with the boys. i've done some research and have been told that garfish are a great tailor bait. would love to know where i can go to catch some. south of the river would be great. i've already got some herring some whiting and some small bait fish from ammo jetty (does anyone know what these are, little silver things only got a couple as i don't know what they are) . also does freezing the bait ruin it.

is this a good season to catch tailor as i'm real keen to catch some would also like  some mulloway, any tips on finding a good spot for tailor and or mulloway would be appreciated

would also like to hear from anyone that's been to horrocks, would love to know what to expect and any good spots (if your will to give that info away). lookin at fishing near the river. i'm so excited about this trip it's all i can think of and it's still 2 weeks away, i'm dieing

 Does anyone know the why and where for of using 2 single hooks back to back or facing each other when replacing trebles? Not sure if they are more effective than one single hook.

I know some of u mightnt want to tell, but where do u have most sucess? For me its swanborne, get plenty of tailor and a few other bigger things there.so share the secret where is it for u?
