 Hey guys

Last year I was doing a road trip from Broome to Perth but there were some damn cycolones grrrrrr!

I saw Broome, Exmouth and Coral bay and then I drove all the way inland to Newman down to Perth so i missed steep point and a few more places..

Fished a lot in Broome, Exmouth and coralbay! Was super good! But I have heard so many stories about this STEEP POINT! This magic big mac spot! haha

I was wondering how I could fish the best of this high cliffs!

I have got a game rod and a 7 foot with a spinning reel. So I guess I need to use my game rod?

What lures do i need, do i need a gaff?

How is it possible to trow lures of this high rocks? How can I find live baits around there?

Got any tips tell them all to me!

cheers guyssssssss

I am in the market to buy new rock fishing boots. My old ones were a mixture between neoprene / diving boot with a "not too bad grip / no spikes" - this served me well for 3 yrs. Time has come to spend some $ on me feet as the old shoes are worn through. This time I would like to focus on grip and comfortability - reaching the stage where I am between a "old fart" and newly developed fart.

Your thoughts and experiance;

I have seen the Mirage / Adrenalin and a equiv neoprene Mirage look alike - should I go;

1. spikes, no spikes?

2. What would be the most comfortable rock fishing shoe be - if fishing on the rocks for lets say 8 hrs?

Any advice would be great - looking to purchase this weekend.

Cheers

Hi guys,

We've been in Perth 2 years now and love the fishing and beach access close(ish) to Perth.

Have fished the beaches North of Two Rocks (Flatrocks, Loonies etc) a number of times and nearly always caught something.

Was looking for a change of scenery and was interest in peoples comments on White Hills, Tims Thickett, Preston options.  Have never been to any of those spots and wanted to know how they compare to the beaches North of Two Rocks.  Do they fish as well, are there more people, is weed a problem, what to target etc?

Would appreciate any comments.  Since I'm not from WA, the NoR/SoR rivalry isn't an issue! ;)

Cheers,

Drof

PS - Obviously have 4WD and happy to use it.

i am going up to exmouth in mid october doing some landbased fishing. its my first time up there so i would like to know just whats around that time of year and what lures to use. i would really appreciate it if i got some info.

Gday all. 

Im from SA and fish our far west coast every year for mullies and sharks.  We're heading back again next Feb so im in the process of putting togther a new heavy surf spin combo.

The rod is more than likely gonna be another Wilson 5120.  (Already have one in overhead and love em)

Im considering matching the 5120 to a Saragosa 18,000.  20kg of drag and a large line capacity can come in handy on our western coastline. 

Im gonna spool it with 40lb mono.

Curious to hear if any of you guys are running the Saragosa or Spheros 18,000's as a surf reel and if so how do you find it.. and what rod do you have it matched to?

Cheers guys.

start at 3pm till 8 pm---- If anyone is keen its at Pinnaroo point, There is a crowed of us going allready

We pick here, So if the weather blows up you can still fish

And a prize for the biggest tailor

Next night fish Will be over nighter

hi all just woundering if the following rig would be productive in catching sharks rays down and busso jetty this weekend planning to use a whole mulie on the snelled hooks.

Is it open to fishing, HAS anyone been there last night

Heya

Looking for some assistance with my surf casting, I am just not getting the distance I'm hoping for when casting a ganged mulie and a Size 4 (84gm) star sinker on a 3 point swivel

I'm using a saragosa 18000f with 25lb mono and a 12 foot ugly stick gold.

I was thinking of using a lighter sinker like a size 2, but will this be to light to hold the bait out in the surf?

I have also been considering getting a different rod as I haven't been overly impressed by the ugly stick. Have been considering the daiwa surf sensor, but this is big bucks for my fishing budget.

Any suggestions?

Thx in advance....

Weather looks pretty ok for a good beach sesh trow late arvo into the evening. High tide is at 11pm so your fishing the rising tide, trick is to get to a beach where your not being weeded out. Wind not fav at NNW - but at 6 knots whose complaining. Good luck for trow.

I will be heading out at 5pm untill 2am targetting some tailor and mulla - and if VERY lucky the very elusive snapper.

Gents. Motackle have got 15cm deep runner nilsmasters on special for $9.95 until midday tomorrow for all you lbg steep point fishos.Get in at nearly half price.

Hi Guys, hope all is well....

The misses has just surprised me with an Alvey 650c5 reel (early bday pressie), but I have an old 12" fibreglass rod thats heavy and prob should be retired! I am heading up to Kalbarri soon and was looking to get a new rod, any suggestions on a rod ....thanks guys any advise appreciated!!

 G'day Everyone.. Just chasing some opinions regarding a suitable rod for landbased spinning around the metro area for tailor and maybe some light tackle work up north.. I recently got myself a twinpower 2500 and have loaded one of the spools up with some 10lb nitlon PE and now im chasing a rod to go with it.. Mainly looking at chucking poppers and soft-plastics in the surf for tailor and salmon.. 

Anyone able to suggest any rods?? 

Thanks in advance..

 Hi, looking at buying a Shimano Baitrunner 12000D, just wondering if any one on here uses them for beach/rock fishing, I use to use a BTR6500, which I thought was a great reel, just wondering whether the D is as good.  Cheers.     Pob.

 G'day mates!

howareya?

I just moved here for a 5 month period, and would very much like to go out and catch/release some nice big fish, that won't stand in the way for a good fight!

ANY recommendations in a radius of 50-60 km of Perth?

I was hoping for trout, salmon or any other fish, that could reach a size over half a meter.

Rivers or nice spots on the shore.

and which bait would you prefer?

I will probably invest in a rod with wheel, not too expensive, maybe find something in quokka for about 50-70 dollars.

Hope to get som local expert advices.

See you out there! 

Cheers Simon 

 I have been out a few times over the last week quite early as the conditons have been ideal with an early high tide, but i have had very little success, I had one bite yesterday morning and it not a very good take almost as if the fish was spooked, so i took a different aproach and lightend my rig and only had one bite again it was sensitive. I thought i had done all my research and the conditions looked in my favour to have a good fish.... olbiviously not! If anybody out theres knows what could be going wrong i would love to find out. Thanks Jord

Planning to target winter tailor, mulloway and sharks in this area. Read that it is appearantly a good spot this time of year. What's the prospects?

Cheers!

Hi all, I'm new to fishing but the bug has caught quick! I've been using the entry level jarvis walker combo in 7ft general and 12ft surf combo. I'm looking to upgrade abit. Any direction would be great!

I only fish land based, soon to be travelling up the west coast from perth to darwin (hopefully dropping in at quobba), price needs to stay as low as poss, not sure what fish i will be targeting but I would love to catch a spanish mackeral or something to brag about! I'm in kalgoorlie at the moment so not getting much advise from the fishing shops here. I've got some 30lb and 80lb fireline which i'm not sure which rod to put them on.

Also whats the difference in the reels? such as overhead, baitcaster spin etc.

Thanks

Any of you guys been to Quobba in April and what was it like?

We have been in June but were thinking of going earlier next year.

hey guys,

a couple of mates and i are looking to plan a fishing trip within the next couple of weeks, is anyone able to suggest any spots with in about 4-5 hour drive of fremntle?

suggestions are much appreciated.

She smoked me saturday morning at my fav beach spot and I decided to go back tonight for a 2nd round effort.

Saturday morning she levelled my rod with the beach and I was too slow getting the rod out of the steel rod holders - this time I was prepared. Send out a herring flap bait and within 20 min got stuck into it.

She made 4 runs - the second which was close to a 30mt - 40mt run. Slowly took my time to bring her - 30 min later she was on the beach. Took my shot and helped her back into the water. Must say she had a lotsa things to say as she was making weird noises like 'spitting and grunting' - when I turned her round to get back into the water.

Great session and a great fish.

Her width was 1.25mt and I estimate close to 30kg .

hey guys

i wanted to ask what is the western australian size and bag limit for Horseshoe leatherjacket... because i keep getting decent fish around the 30cm mark at hillarys. i know they are pretty good eating but i wanted just to see.

what is the best rigg to use?

i currently use a two hook padenosta rig with size 6 bait holder hooks, the only think with this is that the bictch is pretty big, with big brown wrasse, blowies, goat fish, mullet and sweep...

i use coral prawn and squid as bait, is that the best???

does burley work ???

Cheers!!!

Fish measured 197cm

Got out for a flick this morning not knowing what to expect as I've never been to this magic bit of coast before, and it didn't dissappoint.

First cast flicked out a White Richter Plug to see if it got any attention.   Instant hit and several follows, so swapped over to my ever trusty 80mm Squidgy Drop Bear and here's the results.  Def going back there tomorrow!

Hey guy just wondering if anyone has been catching anything around Ocean Reef marina?

I have fished there 5-6 times this month and only caught small whiting anyone had any better luck or are there no big fish there????

Hi fisho,

I am heading down to Busselton Jetty next weekend but I have not fish there before.

Could anyone advise me what sort of fish i can get from there and how heavy/light should my gear should be?

I have braid line 5lb,10lb,15lb, 20lb and a mono 25lb.

Also,

I am trying to get hold of a line gaff. Has anyone seen one of these in a Perth shop recently or know where to buy them? I am located south of the river.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi all

Disater broke me reel at the weekend need advice on an new one looking at a spinning reel i mainly fish from the beach or from the rocks

any advice would be great

Went up to Uncle Herbies tailor spots on monday that have been firing of recent.  Started at spot 2 when 'never fails' Rig 1 Herbie 0 it wasnt firing although it looked good.  Herbie cracked the sh@#ts so as he was driving we went to spot 4.  I had bought some poppers 2nd hand off a felow fishing club member who said they were pretty good, he wasnt wrong 4 casts 4 fish.  Unfortunately I didnt change the hooks that were worse for wear and dropped 3 in the shore break.  The photo is of one that went 55cm..  I cant put a pick up of Herbie cos he didnt catch anything.  He did drop a nice one in the shore break.

heading back tomorrow
