hi every one im a regular rottnest fisho (mainly in bay) and i have been chasing tailor for a while now and i just cant find them

gday every one i was just wondering if any one could give me some good spots for tailor or little sambos in the swan thx

heading to bremer bay soon and was wondering which rocks i can fish.

i am wanting to catch a sambo/aj/ytk if possible and dont mind putting in the hours

cheers

with it being the holidays liam and I decided we would go for another all nighter at hilarys to try our luck.

started off flicking a few mulies etc at around 8 with nothing to show for it

bit later we soaked the big baits and had a couple nice hits and runs but no hook ups.

once again just before 3 o clock the trusty snook came on the bite

those buggers love the metals and we got a good 4 hours fun out of those snook

we did a bit of squidding but the jogs wernt tasty to those squid but we lured them out from under

we could literally see them cruising near the rocks and on the other side of the rocks some blokes were gettin a couple

so we were pretty bummed about not getting afew...

then whilst chucking the chromies i casted and turned around to talk to liam, allowing the metal to sink....picked up the slack and noticed a lot of extra weight

reeled it in to the rocks and bam there was a small squid

was pretty funny to be desperately trying with jigs then get one without trying on a piece of metal

wasnt the best night but was glad to get out on the water and was a bonus to land a few.

weather was fantastic all night!

bit late but happy new years everyone haha

cheers,

Reuben

I'm heading down to the Busselton region in about a week. I'll be staying at a resort near the beach and will be looking for some places to go fishing. Other than the jetty, what places would be good to fish and what types of fish should I be targeting for this time of year? I thought maybe Canal Rocks, Bunker Bay as I have seen these names pop up a few times on the internet. I assume the beach directly out from the resort i'm staying at will not hold any decent fish. I am restricted to land based areas only.

Any tips on bait, rigs, lures and whats biting at the moment would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Took Colin Hay to one of my secret fishing spots, To chase some tailor and he pick up 4 good size ones And a flattie that i drop after i took it off the hook for him lol

So guys don't take Colin Hay fishing

I have finally got myself some wheels (barely reliable, but thats my problem), so im keen to get out and find something to pull a bit of string.

Been a good 3-4 months since the last time i had a decent fish.. blowies in the canning river are getting tiresome.

If anyone if heading out and doesnt mind some company around the Perth Metro area, i would be more than keen to meet up for an evening mission... got the 6/0's 15-24kg for sharks and a 10footer with 6kg  for anything else like tailor. If other gear is needed, let me know a few days before hand and i will pick it up.

Im new to the aussie way of fishing, gang hooks and all.... but have many years experience of fishing NZ for similar species. 

Need to get out there and see how you chaps do it. :P

Hey everybody, hope you all had a good Christmas.

I'm off to Kalbarri for a few days and was wondering if anybody had any advice on where to fish and what to target. I've read that Red Bluff is the go for tailor, but I'm assuming it will be elbow to elbow this time of year?

How's the river for fishing?

Mike

Just looking for some advice on new gear selection. Am chasing a new rod for surf/rocks , mainly Wagoe type fishing however also for use up at Quobba. Using a Penn 950 (usa model , but new) but this might be changed down the track to a saltiga once I get rid of the Penns (have 3 of them).

Currently using old Snyder (about 15ft but cant remember as had it rebuilt by Rodwise so cant remember how many wraps or size etc as it was covered over) but thinking of moving to graphite or composite for comfort (weight) and something a bit stiffer to get me up an out of the jags quicker).    

 Looking at Moonraker, Wilson Live Fibre or perhaps Daiwa Senor, around the 14ft mark. 

 Any suggestions on the above or any others. Price wise am happy to fork out up to $400.

Cheers

Going to wedge this weekend /Friday to sunday  Hopeing to get into some good fish and a few beers as well

There is a total of 11 of us going, so it should be a great weekend

steve

thought i'd go for a quick (7 hour) drive up to wagoe. Got to fish one whole day, weather wasn't the best but it was still worth the drive. Managed a few nice tailor, one which was over 60cm and i put back, a couple of nice pinkies, which fight great from the beach! also a couple not bad skippy. all in all i was pretty happy, i got talkin to some other guys there who got a couple small mullaway the night i arrived.

Thinking thats my closest place to head to at the moment to get a decent fishing fix.

I have heard contrasting information... some saying its a great place to fish (Maybe just for boats) and others saying there are areas that are off limits.

I know you can do diving out there and snorkling.. i just want to throw a few poppers and go for a snorkel with my girl. Spend a nice day out there.

Any help would be much appreciated... I will go search through the forum threads and see if i can find any other info.

Cheers,

George.

will be heading to Whitehills this weekend to wet a line from the beach. Anyone got any rescent reports of what the fishing has been like down there lately?

I presume the usual whiting, herring and hopefully tailor are on the bite? And if so what species are in good numbers?

Mainly chasing Tailor or something bigger (sharks, mulla's)

any up to date reports on recommendations on specific spots would be very much appreciated.

Hi lads,

I'm heading over from Ireland in the New Year and I intend to spend some time fishing the becahes/land based for a while before looking for work. I intend to start soemwhere around Geraldton and travel north for a couple of months Apr - Aug.

Can someone recommend some a good book or two I could buy? I need to get a good idea of what species I am likely to encounter and what range of tackle I need to bring with me? I want to catch everything!

Liam

I'm heading up to Lancelin this weekend...
Can anyone on here give me a heads up on where to go/what to do? Chasing Tailor and maybe a Mulloway or 2....
Should I be heading up to Wedge Island?
PM if you prefer...
cheers,
damo

edit - and I'm landbased... but have 4WD....

Does anyone own or have used a casting overhead? Do they cast further than egg beaters? are they easy to cast at night? as am looking at getting one to fish the beaches and have never used one or seen one get used. If anyone has any pros and cons it would be much appreciated as i don't want to buy one then find out that they are rubbish.
Cheers Mark

I haven't been fishing in 2 months and i want to start again so whats to catch around the city beach and cott groynes?

Thanks 

Hey all,

 Well it's been a loooong time since a soaked a line and with my Pop visiting from Tassie next week (who taught me most of what I know) it's time to dig the gear out and get back into it.

For those who might care, I used to work at Chivers and frequent FWA, and now work just round the corner from Ryan in a Riggers/Chandlery.

Always been into boating of all sorts but a bit more of a yachtie (que wind jockey jokes!) and with the business I now work for sailing has taken up most of my aquatic based activities.  Had read through FW a while ago and when I spoke to Honsu today he mentioned it which jigged my memory!

So after reading through the forums I'm planning to hit Hillarys.  I have 6 days off from Thursday this week so going to head up Thurs/Fri to scope the place out and then hoping there might be some good Taylor or Pinkies on Tuesday after the blow when I take my Pop out.

Any hints, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 Oh and work wise I might have a bit to offer too!!  Don't want to tread on any toes so stuff that we specialize in that others around here might not do are S/S wire ballustrading, S/S tube, Epoxy and Polyester Resins, Plywood, Fibreglass Matting, Solar panels and were pretty good on advice when it comes to Fibreglass and Timber repair and building!!!

Not trying to hard sell or anything, just like to help out where I can!!!

Very willing to help out anyone who asks!!!!

Cheers,

 Rumblefish (AKA Ben)

I will be going to fish around the Denhan area for a couple of days late November.with a couple of mates.

Anyone know of any good areas worth trying?

Any local info will be of use as I don`t know the area.

  Thanks

whats to catch around cott and city beach this and next week as I haven't been fishing in ages.

anyone goin down to hilarys or ocean reef for a fish this long weekend???

ill be down at hilarys bout 9 tomoz morning if any1 wants to say hey

g'day fellow fisho's, i'm taking the family up to Exmouth for a couple of weeks. we get up there each year at this time cause summer just cant get here quick enough. anyways apart from the airport jetty i haven't had the greatest of luck off the beach there. i apply the same gear and rigs as metro tailor fishing-3/0 4/0 gang hooks with a star sinker running above a swivel using mulies or even lures. i no its not all about catching the fish as reeling them in takes valuable drinking time but a feed for the family would be nice. though i don't mind a prawn supplement. so any advice and maybe a hot spot would be appreciated (you can pm me ). cheers

hey guys

just thought i would thank everyone for there imput for the reel and i decided on a penn 950ssm
