Hi there.

Have got most of my up coming trip to Exmouth all planned out and gear all sorted. 

Just need to sort out/get advice on where to stay up in Exmouth. I would prefer a little self contained cottage/small house close to the Naval Pier.

Im not really that fussed about location, as long as its close enough to some decent fishing areas. Anyone able to reccommend a great place to get in contact with?

Cheers for any help.

George.

Hi all,

I'll be going for a solo mulloway sesh 2nite in Bunbury but just trying to decide which spot would have the best chance. Options are Buffalo beach, Belvedere beach, Myalup beach.

Which one do you think will have the greatest chance of getting stuck into one? Or even another spot other than those mentioned.
Anyone else going to be fishing the Bunbury beaches 2nite?

Cheers Sam.

Hey fellas,
Just seeing what sort of rig you guys use from a beach, I'm not having alot of luck laterly, I'm using a running sinker on the main line, swivel, then about a meter trace to my hooks, any other advice would be great. Cheers Rick

Hello to you all LB fisherman out there. Really need some advice on where would be a good place for LB fishing in late October.

I have a week holiday end of October and would like some help before booking my holiday. I'm currently working in Overseas and plan to be back in Perth for some fishing during this one week break.

I have been to Quobba / Shark Bay / Coral Bay / Albany and Esperance last year but never around October so not too sure where would be a decent place for some fishing action around this time.

Thanks in advance. 

HI guys,

just want to join land based shark fishing, and have no experience with it.

I heared someone caught big shark aroung ammo jetty and rockingham, just really want to try it myself.

and I am now planning to set up a shark fishing gear first, becasue i do not have boat, so mostly I will do landbased shark fishing, from jetty, pier, mole and beach.

I think a heavy gear for casting long distance is necessay, so for spinning gear set up, I think FIN NOR OFS95 may be a good choice, which can hold 500yds/80lb power-pro easy. however, I found it is hard to find a rod can match big line rate and good length 10 ft or more for casting, so if anyone has experience, can plz share you experince, I am glad to learn from you.

I am also wana to know how to set the burley for shark, and what time and place is best.

 G'day fellow fishers.

Wanne go for a sliding fishing session along the beach somewhere at quinns Saturday afternoon till Saturday evening. Is it worth a go after the rough weather we had?

Cheers

Hi,

Heading over to karratha next week and looking to the wet the line a few times. Wondering if anyone has some advice on what lures would suit chasing queenies or whatever else is off the beach? Also could you suggest a couple places around both the Dampier and Point Samson area thats worth having a look. Im a complete newbie to fishing up north/west so any advice on technique, gear, lures, places would be great.

Cheers

 G'day all.

I need some advice. I have a torium 30 series loaded with 300m 30pd mono .55 diameter. I'm looking for a overhead land base reel that can at least take 400+m line loaded with 30pd .55 diameter line.

Hey fellas,
A mate and I have been talking alot about barra fishing, we are in perth, was just wondering what is the closest town to Perth for barra fishing, was thinking port headland, is there anywhere this side of there to catch barra, does karratha hold barra? Any info would be appreciated, as we have never fished or been up these ways before, and most of all never laid eyes on these barras,
Thanks in advance

 Hi everyone heading up to coral bay next, just wondering what lures are best for fishing the flats n jetties? Cheers

Hi Guys,

Just moved to Perth’s way-northern suburbs. I haven’t fished any of the beaches up here yet as I’ve just moved in.  

Was thinking of trying my luck at some of these local beaches this weekend. Can anyone recommend good spots in the northern suburbs, anywhere from Mullaloo to Alkimos really.  

cheers

 Hi guys

Im looking at getting myself a 14ft overhead rod or a surf rod 8 to 15 oz for my shimano torium 30 series.

Any suggestion and where is the best place to buy from.

Happy fishing

I took the arvo off and decided to see what the seas were like. I went to the marina and it was blowing a gale and the seas were really pumping so it was a matter of getting the car positioned so I didn't get soaked. It was about 1pm and as i looked toward the entrance it was a spectacular sight. The birds were going nuts in the wind as it seems something had created a blockade at the entrance/exit and having a feeding frenzie. Amazing sights really. It seemed like there was a very agressive and hungry school of something smashing the bait fish seeking protection in the marina.

Coud have been Salmon, could have been Tailor, could also have been dolpins. Whatever; it was an amazing schene. I did throw a line out in the marina with snapper rig but all I managed was a couple of nice Blue Mannas. Plenty of fish out there guys

Hi all,

For my 21st I got a paid for fishing holiday to exmouth for almost 2 weeks from the missus. How good is that!

Going to be doing alot of beach fishing & exploring as its our first time there. Got my maps for the fishing zones and the ute ready to go, cannot wait!

What have people been catching off the beach lately? Got all sorts of rods and tackle (as your do), ready to go. So we are preparing for anything..

If anyone has any tips with whats working at the moment ect. would be good!

Will try and upload some pictures and videos from the gopro when we get back.

Thanks

Hi everyone I'm a new member here. My girlfriend and I have driven from Victoria to have a few months exploring the beautiful west coast, mainly to fish. We currently are ion esperance but heading towards Albany today. Thinking we will spend a week or so getting to Perth. We have gear for soft plastics and small baitfishing ATM. But I think we will buy a couple of bigger rods for some beach fishing. We ate also considering buying a tinny or smallish boat in Perth.

So if anyone can help us with some good locations it would be greatly appreciated. We would love to meet people for a fish and a beer too. Even better still if anyone wants company for a day out on their boat fishing we are happy to pay fuel and bring a few froths.

So hi everyone from myself and my Gf as new members and visitors to the west. Hopefully talk soon

Just bought a block of land 100 metres from the beach, building there in the next 12 months. Beach there looks nice and deep, does anyone know if it fishes ok? I'd love to be able to just walk across the road and bag a nice Mulloway or Tailor :)

 hello all,

First of all thanks to Bungle for his post, very helpful. I have travelled from the UK to WA twice now, and on my next trip I want to head up north to the exmouth area. For this trip I will fish landbased, and hire a car to get around. I have read all the reports on this and other forums. Some people seem to really struggle to catch anything decent up here, whilst others catch loads. 

What I'd like to do is lure fish in the day for tuna, GTs, quennies, mackerel etc, whilst at night I'd like to fish for sharks and shovel nose rays.

As I'm travelling all the way from the UK I want to make sure I get something big, so can anyone tell me what my chances are if I fished the area in January?

Thanks as always,

Tim

Hey fellas, I've just managed to score myself a livefibre 7th 6-8kg spin rod with a Abu Garcia soron STX60 on it, my question is do yous think there a good match and what pound line should I use on the reel, and what would you's recommend using this combo for, ( landbased only) Abit of advice would be very helpful Thanks Rick

 Hey Fellas,

I've recently got myself a 4wd and have started to explore up at Wilbinga and was thinking of heading up there for a fish on saturday. Does anyone have any experience fishing to rocks around Soverign Park just north of Two Rocks? Looking to chase the odd winter tailor

Cheers

Nick

 Bought myself the two above mentioned rod and reel last week. Going for a fishing comp Saturday afternoon to Saturday evening. Hopefully I'll get the chance to brake it in in the best way by hooking up to a nice mullaway or a nice little bronzie.

 So stoked. Caught my first squid last night at eshed on a $3 lumo squid lure. Wasn't to bad measured at around 30cm.

Cheers

Happy fishing

Hey fellas how are we all,

If so anyone fished there laterly, what's it like?

 Is this bay above hill river.
