Hi people,

 Nice site you have here:) Just wondering if anyone has been to Golden Ponds to have a fish, any info on the place for fishing would be great too. Would like to take the family there to have a fish, quiet and hopefully better catch rates than the river? 

Thanks!!

Thought id chuck up a couple of pics of the family ride now that its closer to being finished and ive got the fishwrecked stickers on it.Just put the Rhino rack on it with the lock down rod holders just got a 2 inch lift kit and my set of cooper tyres to go on it and shes ready for all the fishing holidays

A few of us (me, Tailor Marc and Bodie) went for a flick last night at the North Mole. Geared up with the big rods, fresh squid and yellow tail baits, some fancy rigs ect. and not one bite all night.

Got there about 7pm and fished till 10 so not an overly long session but no only was it quiet for us but everybody else. Didn't see one hookup all night. I know that Daniel Westerdun has been doing well for Pinkie's in the metro area off rock walls lately but he must be about the only one.

Was good to get out of the house and the weather was suprisingly good for fishing but unfortunately the fish did not want to play the game.

any one else been out for a land based Snapper session lately? And if so any luck.

have a good 1

Hi guys,

Over this long weekend myself and a couple of mates are planning to fish the Jolly Frog Jetty in Mandurah. But I'm hearing it being hit all the time and now just asking myself is it still worth a crack or is there any other substitutes out there? Really keen to land a fish down at Mandurah as I've never landed one down there myself. I'm not very familiar with Mandurah and spots around there, so if anyone out there who has the experience of fishing Mandurah can you please help this young cobber out?

Thanks guys.

Elora.

Hit up one of my favourite metro beaches for a fish saturday morning. Landed a few small Tailor, Tarwhine and Flattie. Best "catch" of the day was this pic, snapped by the wife, really sums up why i go beach fishing.

Hi Everyone, well we are off again on another fishing trip. thanks to the long weekend next weekend. 

This time we are heading to Dongara. We have never been there before, so if anyone has any information on fishing spots, tackle stores we should visit etc , I would be eternally greatful to hear from you.   

Thanks heaps,

Shortly 

I'm heading up to Sbend on the long weekend, My fishing club has a field day that weekend. Has anyone on this forum fished there lately? If so what was caught. This time last year it was pretty blown out. Hope to do better this year.

Hey Guys Hubby needs a new Rod to suit Alvey. He fishes mostly beach. He is undecided between Snyder Glas 7 or 9 wrap
Or an Ozflex SU 400 or 450. ???? The Snyder glas has fuji guides which i think are better.. Any Advice would be appreciated.

Met a work friend on the south wall Wed night for a quiet evening fish, After putting up with the rain for a little while we settled in and got out the burley.

My mate fished the top while i fished the bottom, Well Brett continued to pull in 1 Herring after the other while i fished the bottom only to end up with 3 largish trumpeter within 10 mins, oh well! up to the top for me ..

We fished for a total of 2 hours and landed 30 good sized Herring while losing at least 20 to the rocks and slippery hands.

Was a good mid week session.

Cheers Stuart

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.  

We have been given a couple of impact sinkers, but have no idea how to rig them up. We are going up to Jurien this weekend and would love to give them ago.

Has anyone used them before? or could direct us to a site that shows how to set them up. 

Also has anyone got any advice as to some good places to fish? We are strictly landbased but we do have a 4wd.

Thanks in advance,

Shortly.  

Gday people,

Me and a couple of mates are keen to slug out some Poppers and Slices out off the beach for some awesome Tailor but we've never experience Reef fishing before. Is there a way to go about it and the reef's alongside of Mindarie Beach is worth a go? So we're planning to head out there on Saturday so we can get some tucker for Mothers Day the next day.

Thanks guys.

morning guys and gals ,

GT ? shark ?? any thoughts would be good . using a stella 20k with a tcurve gt rod. any other areas accessable by a 2 wheel drive anyone could suggest ?

Tryin my luck down the Narrows tonight, I've grabbed some Boneys & still got me a nice big squid head from last week, what do I need to get livies?

hey im going down to mandurah on saturday and im just wondering what best places are there at the dawseville cut or close to that

Hi all,

Have been struggling of late to land any decent fish from the beach.
Unfortunately due to having no license atm,(hurry up June)i have been pretty much stuck to the Quinns area.
I used to fish from the beach often here but the last 12 months have brought me little joy. I fish to the south of the main carpark.
I have also been trying at Mindarie Marine on the outer groin up the end. However i much prefer the beach.
On the search for the ever elusive Mulloway or even a few good Tailor... Patience i have plenty of.
I am planning to go to Flat Rock/Wilbinga area this week end coming with a few friends.
I have been using a weighted ganged mulie which has just been feeding the scrappers i think.
Can anyone give me any advice to improve my poor rate of success. I am willing to mix it up a little.
Perhaps i need to burley up? Change to Bluebait? or try different rigs.What's the preferred rig for my situation?
What are peoples thoughts on the use of glow sticks? They do help me at night...
I pretty much want to stay targeting Mulloway and Tailor.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Regards, Stuart

hey guys i want to know where the best part near hillarys is good for salmon

and would you use bait or lures

could some one tell me is there any salmon running in chenyes beach yet

hey there finally after many bustoffs I have landed a decent shark from the local 4x4 beach.  caught a heap of scalies the night before a beach fishing trip, thought they were gonna do the trick but strangely only pickers were taking the scalies this night. We paddled the baits out for last drop, (yeah with the canoe) this time loaded up with the usual scalies, but one with a whole squid on a snelled wire trace. another 45 mins passed with nothing so started packin up all the gear and winding in the rods, when the last rod, with the squid went off!  25 mins later and this little bronzie was on the tray. gave 4-5 solid runs this time the favourable way down the beach away from the nasty jettys.

Staying till maybe sunday, Heading to dunsborough and canal rocks area

Look out for the big mercedes spinter van or the fishwrecked shirt

If any one is down that way, Come over and say hello

steve

We are heading south Dunsborough Hamlin area this weekend. Hoping to land some Salmon.. Anyone had any luck that area lately? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.........

Can any of you soft plastic masters recommend any metro landbased areas firing up at the moment where I can start my soft plastics fishing career ?

 Thanks in advance.

G'day forumites!

Does anyone have a quality Land Based Game Rod/Reel combo they're prepared to sell me?

Looking for something along the lines of a 7-9' rod (preferably Live Fibre)... matched with a strong o/head reel... quality drag essential!!

Or does anyone have just the rod, or just the reel that they are prepared to part with?

Cheers,
damo

I'm curious, I've read a lot about how people cut their fingers from casting braid. Makes me question if i have a weird casting technique???

Can someone post a "How to" 

Hi All. I'm heading over to Port Hedland for the weekend to have a go at some landbased fishing. As i have never been to Hedland i'm not really sure where fish. Has anyone got some spots to try or knows how to get to some of the creeks around that area.
Cheers Watto069

These come in 13.8' and 16.4' versions. Look like a hell of a weapon. Anyone had any experiance with them?.

Liking the 150 gram cast weight, fuji low rider guides and it's light weight.

Can anyone give me advice on a good rig to use down at Hillarys?

Went down there early morning the other day and didnt get a single bite in 3 hours.

Was using unweighted mulies on a 3 hook gang with wire trace behind aqua - not a thing

Then tried running sinker to swivel with whitebait on a small gang, no trace, inside the marina - blowies

Would like to catch a tailor but happy with anything!!

Is night preffered over morning and what line strength?

Cheers for any help!

Reece

Is the Floreat Drain, Swanborne Drain, Herdsman Drain all the same thing?

I only know of one drain in the area??

I am keen to try out breakaway leads, what should i buy and where? Are there any brands that are better for some reason?

Pete

any one had any luck land based in the metro area preferably NOR from city beach to Mindarie?

Leaving the shell garage wannaroo road near the o/reef turn off   at 500am

Will be fishing the reef in front of the blue house    If you are up that way look for the big white van and i wont be far away

steve

Only be there around till 9 am not much later
