saw a ford f250 up wilbinga way on sunday. over 40 psi on the tyres. no compressor. no pressure guage. no winch. no straps. mud tyres. 4 wheeler in the back. on the beach. approaching high tide.

why oh why??

the mines have given too many idiots money.

an early start with sherbs, don26 and ariel off the northern beaches, pulled in a couple of eagle rays but then pulled in my biggest ray, i think about 20-30 kg? comment on what you think?

later moved spot and pulled in some good sized tailor and a few herring, a good day fishing!

Hey guys just wondering if a 7" spin 15-24kg rod would be ok for balloon from rocks and beach

Hey guys and girls how are we all going,

When chasing sharks from shore ( LBG) is it best to use a wire trace or mono or fluro carbon, and ruffly how long would this be, and what sort of poundage are we talking. Some advice wood be good.
Thanks rails

me, monk, ariel, my brother, his wife and SHERBERT went fishing off the northern beaches on saturday night catching a total of 9 black tips, a great night apart from some shark swam away with my rod!

Big thanks 2 sherbs,ive only been fishing twice before and sherbs has taught me loads of stuff and showed me some good locations.

Hey thinking about heading down to drain pipes in swanbourne, wondering what its like ? Is it possible to fish for tailor with a brim rod while sending a balloon out or will smaller rods not get passed the surf ? thanks.

me, don26, ariel and sherbert went for a fish of the local beaches with the legendary sherbie, a total of 9 sharks 2 tailor and a herring! a great nights fishing as i am new to the big fishing game.

Thanks sherb

 Hi guys just wondering if any one has lanbased fished in Vanautu?

I am going there sunday and any info would be great

Caught this shark, I think its a Lemon Shark.

I was to busy holding on to get a tape measure out :P but estimating between 2 and 2.5mtrs

Caught it on a GT head I threw over when I got bored when the fish went off the bite.

I was using a 9" EuPro Cyclone that I usually use for flicking lures and a saragosa with 50lb braid.. I gotta say that the EuPro is one tough rod.

Thanks to Sherbs for telling me to get one!!

 Had another eventful but frustrating weekend, fishing for sharks again didn't get a thing on Friday night except for 2 small runs and a very small shark lost.

The real fun was sat arvo just before sunset i had the balloon out with a big tailor under it and the drag went off for a short run then stopped, I looked out to my balloon to see a big splash the the reel took off, I grabbed the rod set the hooks and watched a very large shark launch out of the water kicking and thrashing before taking another 20m of line and throwing the hooks, f@&k how is it so hard to get the big one hahahah, 

Just thought I would share that one as it was an awesome sight to see.

Cheers Chris.

 I fished with some new guys and girls to the sport, but last night sharks were going off all night, Atotal of 9 sharks 2 tailor and a herring

And some big sharks got away from us, Report and photos to come from new guys to the site

sherbie 

hey guys just wondering were is the most likely spot i will hook up a ray iv wanted to catch one for a while and have gone down to the amo jetty a few nights with no success. just want to catch somthing different than taylor bream and herring and to feel the fight any ray that i catch will be released un harmed

Just wondering if anyone has any experience fishing around Quoin Head? What's it like? Main target species? Thinking about heading down there at Easter, so I guess there is  a chance the salmon could be running if the water is cold enough!

Cheers!

Matt

Hows it going?

Since i work away and hardly get the time to do local fishing, or much fishing at all. I am trying to tee up with a mate ( living in Brisbane) and take some time off work in July-August to travel from perth to Exmouth or beyond and fish fish fish LBG hardcore.

Ive got a Nissan Patrol GQ which will be pretty well set up to handle the Offroad stuff. We also plan to camp out along the way and do it all pretty basic if need be.

Got most of the gear i suspect we will need to tackle some big bad fish. But still not 100% sure what to expect and would like any advice on gear that you expect would be essential or that you have found to be very much needed that could easily be forgotten.

Im used to fishing rocks, similar to areas down in Albany/Bremer Bay. Will be trying to berly the areas up and send out live baits, or throw poppers. Pretty keen on sending some Helium Balloons out, but have not done so before.. though i have read all about them and think we should be prepared to give that a go.

Any places you could reccommend that would be good to stop at for a day or two along the way? Any good campsites that would be well worth booking into?

Any places to stay away from?

Any places that i would need to organise prior to just turning up that would be well worth doing? I was looking into Quoba, that kind of situation with the basic chalets could be nice for few days.

Im basically very very keen to get up there and give anything a go that will produce some crazy adventures and possibility of some crazy LBG fishing. 

... But i am also very nervous about heading that far away. I have been as far as Kalbarri, fished the cliffs and such.. 

Anyways, anything you guys can give me info wise would be awesome.

Cheers,

George.

hi all

i am 23 years old and from a very small island called Jersey which is in the English Channel and it is regarded as the best fishing in the u.k and i have fished these waters all my life but its time for a change and a big one at that !! 

i have just had my australian travel visa approved and will be arriving in june for sun,sand,girls,surf,beer and of course alot of land based fishing :) My plan is to travel up through Qld brisbane all the way up to cairns and hopefully darwin NT then if i find work to stay in oz for as long as i can and continue to fish

i have been doing alot of research on the web and found a few locations which i can chuck in a line but can any one plz advise me on were to fish along the east coast and where i will get good results?

what type of fish there would be?

what tactics to use?

hints and tips?

website?

thanks all

p.s i am a welder/fabricator is this still a sought after trade in australia 

 Want to know if I can do a tag along if anyone is going fishing north of two rocks tomorrow morning? 2-3 am

G'day all, I'm gonna buy a new surf combo mid-week but got way to many ideas. Targeting fish like Tailor, mulloway, salmon, snapper and small sharks(the usual metro species). Was looking at a couple of Penn reels as they have done the job for me for years. Looking to spend around $500 to $700 so something half decent. Im really keen on getting this soon but dont wanna rush it and get a combo i will regret getting. Any suggestions with brands, size of line, mono or braid any info would be great!  Thanking you

Could not fish y/day on the beach, All clear today

With all sherbs talk and pics of landbased mackies ( Allright for some king sherbs haha), thought I would bring the tone down, to real working mens and womans fish.

This one is from last years run at cheynes area, Albany.

We lucked out as fat hungry salmon hit a school of large blue baits they had herded into the gutter in front of us. As we were pulling them in they were disgorging the baits , which we were putting on hooks to catch the next one, It dont  get any better, and we were hooting and hollering like kids in a candy store, as they charged into the gutter like mini black torpedos, with silver showers of baitfish exploding all around.

Its Autumm , and the south coast is calling!

 Any reports from around Mosman Park and Claremont Jetty ? 

Not mine lol,  Its the 20 june the wedding is and staying in broome about 5 days and driving back taking 2 weeks and stopping to fish the best places that WA has to offer  Which could be a great hoilday for some one whos got the time off

I have one guy keen but he still not sure yet

Anyone keen if this seat is not taken, PM me if you like

I like the muddie lol rankin cod

Catching that mackie in perth, Ballooning will be bigger than sail boarding

Think about all the mess when there is  50  or more balloons in a beach like mullaloo to o reef lol

If you guys are thinking about ballooning find a place away from boat ramps Left of trigg is good But we had surf ski-- swimmer--- surf boarders--- Catching our lines  [Note our hooks are miles out]

hey guys, looking into getting an alvey combo for ballooning. my only concern is putting braid on alvey, done a bit of reading online about it. there seems to be lots of mixed opinions.

from what i understand the braid will cut up my fingers, especially when casting. i have never used alvey before, so i was wondering if this combo was soley for ballooning, would it be better to put braid on it and wear gloves or just stick with mono?

sure you guys have some experience, and opinions?

cheers

matty
