Hi
my quest for a heavy land based long casting rod continues. I haven't been able to get a tiralejo 1300s so I am looking at the ballistic which can cast up to 10oz anyone got one and what do they think. And has anyone got 1 they might want to sell
cheers

Johns post on shark rigs was interesting, so gonna put some of mine up. Keen to see what other people are using as well!

First is my cast trace, for a whole herring, small tailor etc. Has a long sinker trace and modified sinker so the sinker can be clipped for casting like in the second pic, I find this helps the casting a fair bit.

Second rig is for sliding large baits, whole tailor (dead), large tailor heads/flap baits or or tuna heads.

Third is a very basic rig. single hook for sliding live herring, or small tailor. Probably gets used the most out of the three. If im sliding larger live tailor or snook ill add a second hook.

I nearly always use a heavy mono (100-150lb) leader of like 6-9 metres over the rig or if sliding another metre of steel between the stopper ring and the mainline/leader.

I like to use 210 or at least 130lb nylon covered steel, but its getting hard to find. Also prefer the black but giving the bleeding wire a go.

If anyone knows where to get heavy black nylon covered steel please let me know

cheers guys, let me know what ya think and any ideas for improvements

UPDATE: all the pics dissapeared during site upgrade, just noticed. Gonna put up my mac slide bait rig plus slide sinker.

Hi Guys

Heading down to Kudardup this weekend (about 10km out of Augusta)

Wondering if anyone knows of any good landbased fishing spots either beach or river down there.

Also any tips on rigs for river fishing....

Cheers

Used to fish North Cott a bit for bread & butter.

Has anyone got any reports on this location?

Cheers

Just got the call to go up there (working) for a week or so, starting Wednesday...not sure what sort of time I'll have or where I'll be staying at this stage, but can anybody give me some info on L/B fishing possibilities? Preferably light tackle lure fishing, cheers guys.

I am thinking of heading down to Woodman Point early Saturday morning to see what's biting.
Anyone has any luck recently?

Any advice?

i was wondering if anyone could tell me some spots i could go land based to chase some squid..i dont mind a bit of travel anywhere between bunbury and dunsborough. i saw quindalup boat jetty mentioned? busso jetty is good but its shut..but worth giving it a whirl on the little bit thats open? any other spots you could tell me about?

king george and herring around albany area? any places worth giving a try

does anyone know what type of fishi you can catch at two rocks and what time of year you can catch them?? any replys will be very helpful!!

cheers roo

What time of year are salmon, tailor and snapper in the hot spot on the beach??

Can someone please help me with tailor. i am going out to two rocks on thursday and going to target tailor with my dad. I have only ever caught 1 tailor which was really by luck because it was on a herring rig 3kg line at jurien bay, and it was about .5g.  Now i have a new 12 foot beach rod and new reel so i want to target them at the beach. Can someone give me the best rigs, bait etc please. 

Seen some many chopper caught lately, in Swan or off beach, they were all too small, around 25cm, just wondering why legal size is 30 since so many undersized wandering around. saw some guys throwing twristy at Narrows last night and got and keep some undersized as well.  i got sized bream easily but seldomly got tialor over 30cm. never seen anyone releasing back undersize tailor. fisheries treat bream differently from tailor? as i saw some guy fined a grand by Swan for keeping 23cm bream. but never saw tailor breacher getting caught.

Hi All,

Was just wondering what the squid action has been like at the Jetty? (First 60m open still) Thinking of heading down this time next week.

Any info would be muchly apprecitaed.

Cheers Sam.

Hi everyone

I went up to S bend for the long weekend which for me started on thurs night after work I left and headed up the new fantastic coastal road.  I called in to a mates house in Dongara for a few beers and crashed on his couch moving on to S bend the next morning.  After setting up my tent etc at the caravan park I headed down to Lucy's to fish the 11am high tide and then through to the late evening high tide.  The gutter looked as great as I have seen it but as i suspected full moon shuts down the tailor action.  I caught a few herring on dusk and used them as live bait.  One herring got absolutely smashed in half and my bottom snelled 6/0 gamakatsu octopus circle got bent in half!!!!!! so dissapointingly that was the first day over.  the next morning i fished slips hoping there would be some action there, some guys next to me got a few herring and a guy from my fishing club got a 20 kilo sambo not bad off the beach.  Fellow Fishwrecked member Johnray rocked up mid morning so i took him on the S bend tour before the fishing comp kicked off at midday.  Once again we based ourselves at Lucy's for merely a few herring and some guys next to us got a couple of undersize mulloway then a nice 6-8kilo version, saw a guy get one of the biggest buffies I have seen at 7.5 kilo.  The following day we fished south, past the surf beaches where the gutters start for 1 shovelnose although i had a large tailor strike and miss at a whole herring i was winding back in on a paternoster rig.

The last morning of the comp we elected for a sleep in as did most of the crew but the guys who had a crack managed a few tailor to 1 kilo and some wirah cod which goes to show with the moon phasing out there would start to be a bit more Tailor action.

I have been a bit spoilt with my last couple of trips to the area with the tailor action being hot.  I have still not landed a mulloway either I had a whole herring/scaley or fillet in the water for most of the time I was fishing so the quest for a LB mulloway goes on.

Either way fish or no fish great to be out on the beaches in a top location

cheers

Here there.....just want everyone opinoin on hillarys and oncea reef for a fishing spot.....eg what available there,what the best time to go etc and any other place that i can try.

Hi All

I was thinking of doing a fishing trip down south in a few weeks to a place called bob's hollow south of margs and am after some more info on the place.  I looked on google earth and there seems to be a track in.  What species would i expect to come across there and is the area dangerous to fish with regard to swell.  i also heard it is a bit of a hike

thanks

hi i might be going to coral bay for a day or 2 was wondering what fishing is like, where to fish there etc also im be heading from carnarvon so dont think im driving from perth to coral bay and back in 2 days!! haha

Just wondering if there are any maps avalable that list the varius places known for fishig spots?

I know some places have different names from different fishers, but I hear of places along the coast but have no idea where they are and they are not 'official' place names

Has anyone decided to put one together withe most popular names so dumb fishers like me can find the?

Phil

Hey just wondering if anyone has fished the cut lately or has any reports thinking about going down tonight

Are there any Fishing clubs operating in WA that people would reccommend to join up with? LBG fishing.

Would be great to get into some fishing events or small comps within the club. Basically to meet up with some people and learn a fair bit.

has anyone heard of any mullagores being caught up the coast?

Hi Guys,

Heading down to Dunsborough/Eagle bay soon. Anyone know of some good spots worth trying, land based that it.

Cheers,

hey peeps been a while since ive been bothered to get on the computer but heres what i got wednsday last week. off th beach in the sound





my first time seeing and catching a bull shark at first i called it for a blacktip but when in close it became more apparent it was not like any other shark i had seen before, caught many blacktips and bronze whalers before but this was soo much stockeyer just a rough estimate would be about 60kg roughly 5 to 5 1/2 foot in length and had plenty more grunt.

caught it on 15kg mono running sinker with a metre of 120pound mono wth a big bait circle 8/0 pinned in the corner of the mouth, bat was a pretty hefty live yellow eyed mullet or (pilch) as some people call it.

Out of the water for a few minutes fought pretty well left right left right up an down the beach pretty tired first attemp to release just tilted and sank belly up, i felt devastated thought it had died, picked it up and walked up and down the beach for about 5 minutes got some sort of responce but not much let it go went about 3 metres n did same again had to get up to my shoulders to pick it up again, so for the next ten minutes up and down the beach near the waves to get more of that oxygenated water going through its gills and sped things up abit running in the water (felt like one of the ladies that you seen at the pools doing workouts) still no responce not even a tail movement at a third time gave it a good push and it just snapped out of the trance it was in and powered off.

felt gr8 to see it swim off.

thinking about heading to wet a line friday morning..its giving ese winds early,light winds and waves are low so do you think fishing from the north mole(just past the kiosk,facing rotto) is a good spot?..how about woodman point? any tips guys

thanks

Hi Everyone

I am heading down to Conto's in october.  i have surfed the area but never fished it. 

From what i have seen the rocks near the surf break can be fished off and the beach also i suppose.

most of the coastline south from there appears deep and rocky/weedy ie not sinker material do people just suspend a bait under a float in these parts? or chuck lures?

Is the beach at the southern point worth a fish?

Any help/tips would be appreciated also what would i expect to catch down there that time of year.  I would ideally like to be fishing for the bigger species in the area ie mulloway, tailor sambo's not so much bread an butter species

thanks

Rig

HI Guys

Just after opinions for a good rod, maybe in the 8-10ft range to match up with my stella 8000/50lb braid for some heavy duty land based work.

Rod would be used to chase some big pelagics on surface,slices and maybe big softies in the NW region.

All opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,GAV.

Hey,

I haven't been fishing down freo way as yet but am going there next sunday with some mates. Just wondering wha tips you have for fishing the north mole.

Cheers
