George and myself set off at 4am and got to the  fishing spot at the start of first light

With a bottom rig on the rod,   I pick up a nice tailor for the balloon set up later

Then i got hit by a big ray after about 20mins it was on the beach and with hooks removed put back in the water

Grorge pick up a small ray

With balloon rig out and a blue mackie as bait , Greoge seen abig fish hit the bait clean out of the water   But no hookup, So in it came some 700meters And 15 mins later we reset the balloon back out to about  500meters this time

Bait got hit again by something alot smaller Maybe a shark

Had trouble with two boat comeing in close. And having to reel fast as not to get cut off

Cheers sherbie

The big ray went 800 across the wings

Hey just wondering if anyone has attempted themselves the shortening of a surf rod butt?  Just wondering how hard, what tools, how much cut off etc. It would be on my 13ft sensor surf as butt is very long, i thought i read somewhere they made them long and you could shorten them but not sure if it was the sensor.

Cheers 

 But not sure if it this weekend, But  [The fishing shop] in woodvale put up my mackie for me

This photo in the paper iam holding the fish

Hey all,

Have been through searches but not coming up with exactly what i want, am after some reel recomendations.

Im after a spinning reel for a 13 foot sensor surf thats bit of an all rounder, mainly fishing baits (decent castability) , and throwing poppers etc.etc. Want something that matches the sensor surf but can also throw on my 11 foot spin rod. Also with a decent line capacity and drag.

I have a 4000FJ stradic which i love and was looking at the 6000FJ or 8000FJ. Trying to keep it under $300

Much appreciate others opinions

Cheers

Hey guys and gals, was wondering if anybody knew of any tackle shops that sell pre made rigs for sharks, I have a few single hook rigs at home but was chasing some with snell'ed circle hooks, I am heading down south on Friday and was hoping to get by then, or if anybody can make some up il be happy to buy some off you.

 heading up to shark bay in a few weeks and am pretty keen to give ballooning a crack, any tips on rigging' locations times etc? any help would be greatly appreciated.

 heard about the place called flat rock just past two rocks, was just curious as to whether one needs a 4wd to access this spot ? also whether this fishing there is good? thanks in advance

Hello this might be a silly question but I was night fishing on the beach at the weekend and I noticed quite a few of the other anglers had what seemed to be neon floats I was just wondering how useful these are and how to rig them I normally have a light stick attached to the top of my rod when night fishing but I am interested in using this floats cheers for your help.

I spent the last few days at Kalbarri, I left the boat at home and just dedicated to landbased which proved to be a good move as the southerly didn't let up.

When I could find clear water the tailor were going mad with some memorable popper sessions catching and releasing 20 big fish 2kg+ including a bust off not far from my feet on a 6kilo+ fish that will take some getting over.  Most of the tailor were released so I only have a photo of a few I kept after one session.

I tried my luck on the luchtime high tide and caught my biggest landbased sambo so far.  It took a bit of getting in and at first I thought it was a big eagle ray but it kept me guessing.  I have caught heaps in the boat but as I release them I have never weighed one.  Anyone wanna guess how big this one was I am thinking a bit over 15kg????

Apart from that didnt see or hear of any mulloway being caught

Reccomend the gorges cafe for a fantastic breakfast

Anyone like to come for a fish, Balloon out for bigger fish and some tailor plus bait fish as well

Early start back by 11am

 Which rays are legal to keep?(Albany to Esperance area). Thinking shark bait. Also what's the most humane way to dispatch? 

Hi Guys, I am planning a camping and fishing trip this weekend with the old man whos been overseas for the past 2 years I am hoping for him to get a nice mulla or some big tailor. I cant decide where the best place to take him; S-bend or Coronation Beach. We are planning on staying on the beach for a night or 2. Any thoughts, recommendations (other spots) appreciated.

Hey everbody was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction I am new to Perth I have mainly been fishing of the beach at Pinaroo point and Ocean Beach Marina. I have heard that Burns Beach is a good spot and was wondering if anybody has fished there recently I have heard there are some reefs all around the beach and was wondering if its still possible to just fish a normal ganged running or pasternoster rig. Does anyone know some good spots up there or any other northen beaches that are particulary good which I can get to from mullaloo cheers guys

Without hurting him, Thankyou to ragbag for showing us

hey guys, new to the site, good to see some cracker catches and discussion on here. been some good fishing the last month or so, plenty of shark, more tailor than you could poke a stick at(although we try) and the odd mac spooking through. headed out to nth mole tonight, anyone going?

But some places with no weed,  The rolling surf is were the weed is

Only a drive at 12pm today looking for more spots to fish

 myself and a couple of mates decided to head up to jurien for the weekend to do a bit of landbased fishing.

on the first night we decided to fish the jetty, had balloons out but none were taken and didn't manage any tailor only one hook up which was a white spotted shovel nose which was about 130cm.

on the second day we fished the beach north of the marina, we only picked up a couple of whiting and heaps of dart, that night we fished the jetty still didn't manage any tailor, although a small mackerel about 60cm was caught. we had 5 big hookups on the big outfits with all of them busting off.

the 3rd night we fished the south rock of the marina. we managed a couple of tailor to about 45cm. heaps of small mulloway and one big one just before sunset, caught by tom (spooledagain). we also managed a small eagle ray that night.

in the end it was quite a good weekend even though the fishing wasn't as hot as we hoped.  

and is anyone able to identify the fish in the 3rd picture?

 New to fishing and was wondering if anyone can give me some advice and maybe some little diagrams on what set up i should use for catching tailor. Fishing off garden island,warnbro,pk,secrets and mandurah area

Thanks

His name on the site is chris fish What a great guy and knows alot of stuff about fishing

Great with his over head reel and rod,  Sliding baits out for big fish

and a great 4x4 well set up to go anywere

The reason for this post is, ????He showed jeffree and myself his photos on his i phone Some great fish /sharks rays /mulloway/ Big Big tailor the list goes on

Now he did put some photos up on the site a while back,  But got slagged saying the mulloway was not as big as he said it was

So no more photos from this young lad,   Which is a shame

All we need is you guys to watch what you say, Cos there is more people on this site that wont post any more

And in the end its us that miss out on some great shots of great fish

Chris great to meet you, Lets do it again soon

 Hey crew, anyone heading out fishing tonight?

 Hi all,my names dean new to the site,keen to start hunting/catching those elusive bigger ones lol, ie mullaway, sharks rays etc.I'm going out shopping tnite probs going to buy shimano tld 20...?, pretty keen to try it out this weekend was wondering if anybody's heading out and wouldn't mind me tagging along? Cheers dean.

Do any of the Tackle Shop site sponsors sell Breakaway Impact Sinkers with the wire grips, I am running low and want to get 3,4,5,6 and 7 oz.

got a few sharks lately mainly off woodies, got a little bronzie off north mole

last one i caught was the little tiger off woodies about 2 weeks ago :)

hopefully get into a few more this weekend.

 Just out of interest whats the Palm Beach jetty in Rockingham like to fish? I'm thinking of taking my eldest daughter there to hopefully catch her first fish 

She has been bugging me all month, it would be great if she caught something that fitted well in a pan.

So over to you guys ,most productive part of the jetty, best bait. I've heard the deep end has a muddy bottom?

My plan is to take 2 decent outfits and put a whole mullie and a whole banana prawn on and setting the drag, whilst supervising the little lady during the late afternoon?
