Hi all, ive recently moved to bunbury and im wondering if anyone could share some info about fishing the local rivers. I had a quick flick in the collie river the other arvo near the bridge and pulled a couple of bream from the shore using plastics (22cm and 35cm). Ive had a hunt around online but cant find much info on fishing the preston river. Im targeting bream and redfin. Curious as to whether they are actually in the preston or not, and how far upstream i would need to go for redfin? Im a stones throw from the preston but dont want to waste good catching time if theres nothing there. If thats the case i will drive to harvey, waroona, stick to collie or go down the beach.

Cheers in advance. Tim 

Hey Guys, planning on going fishing tonight with the family. The plan is, we head to the swan river with the rods, a portable bbq and get a line in the water (or sit on the grass if your not into fishing).

so i was wondering if anyone knew of some spots where you can pull up a nice patch of grass, but also have a chance of a fish? I'm not expecting someones secret spot, just a little advice!

Thanks in advance. 

 Hi all, im off to Coral Bay for xmas and have been reading about a sand spike between Coral Bay and Exmouth.

Can anyone let me know its location, how far it is, land marks etc....Also any other good Land based locations would be fantastic... I do have a small 10 foot tinny that I am taking as well.

thanks in advance

heading down to busso next week for 2 weeks and just wondering if anyone's caught anything decent lately LB?

Chasing King George and mulloway, we normally get plenty of tailor of wonnerup beach but always just size, 

 Is there any crabs in the river yet?

Without giving away any fishing spots, where are good beaches to go camping overnight and fish?

I am mainly after spots that are good for camping. North of Two Rocks seems ok, but I haven't explored there yet.

Also, what are the rules in general about beach camping?

 Sorry for the late report boys but ive had computer problems.

The latest  competition was held at Preston beach with a few fish caught but not by  every angler.

44 fish were caught on the night of which Shovel Nose, long Nose Greys , Banjo Sharks and Rays mad the bigger species.

Winners on the night were

1st   Manie Bekker

2nd  Dave Wilson

3rd  Harry  Bekker

Next competition is the 29th of this month, please let Shaun or Werner know if you are attending.

Tight lines, Vince.

It's a big beach so I am not one to keep this well known location quiet.

Got to the drain at 7.15pm tonight. Home by 8.45 with 8 tailor (4 between 39-41cm and 4 between 33-36).

Good night all round!

 Hi All, first post on here for me. I live in the Uk and visit Perth at least once a year to see my daughter and family, i freshwater fish in the Uk and have done for most of my life mainly for predatory fish such as wels catfish,pike,zander and chub i have done some sea fishing in Australia but my experience is limited. Now I'm hoping to retire next year and spend a few months of the year in W.A. travelling around camping and fishing. Would just like some advise on where to start my journey,ive been down as far as Albany and Esperance but not been north yet. As far as the fishing goes id love to target sharks but i know I'd be better off getting abit more experience first so just going to fish for whatever comes along. Ill mostly be landbased fishing with the odd charter and may still have a dabble in a river or dam.Any help you can offer on locations, species to target, tackle and bait will be greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks in advance

Billy

 Gday fishos heading up to kalbarri next week for a few nights camping at lucky bay! Was just wondering if anyone has any fishing reports for us for up that way will only be flicking baits of the back of the reef or hopefully getting a balloon out if winds permit! Cheers

 Went down to woodman point last night to try and catch some bait.  Absolutely nothing but blowies.  Does anyone know where to catch some? If  not then best place in metro area to get fresh bait? 

Also where's some good spots for the mullaway? 

Cheers

Pete

 A mullaway that went 114 on the mat and a nice long nose gray

Thanks to Assassin tackle Australia 

The Assassin Fishing Club is back running monthly competitions after a winter break.

The first competition, held north of Perth was well attended with 15 anglers turning out and most catching fish. Tailor accounted for the majority of fish along with black and eagle rays, gummy and shovel nose sharks and an exceptional Mulloway over 120cm .
A big congratulations to Andy on his Mulloway and for releasing such a prize fish .

Results were

1st Andy
2nd Vince (me )
3rd Manie

The next competition is scheduled for the 25th of this month south of Perth , please reply to your emails so that we can get everything sorted quickly

 Hi guys

Heading up to Cervantes in a week and wondering if anyone knows what the weed situation is like up there as i'll only be doing land based fishing. Have done some research on the general area in the forums here for where to wet a line (near hill river by the sounds of it?) but if anyone has any tips on a general area to head to would be great (or possible spots to fish when the wind kicks up). Targetting mulloway/sharks or anything else that wants to play (will all be released as dont have a freezer).

Cheers

Hi guys,

I would like to know if you got some place to suggest where to stop for a fish, mainly surf/rock during November.

I will be traveling from north Queensland to north Wa and all the way down to Margaret river....

I can stop anywhere as we have no exact plans, got caravan with me and 4wd....only problem is that I'm with my wife and mean I can't do anything too hard core like step point....unfortunately.

Hi everyone,

I remember when I was kid going out one night with a gidgee and a torch walking in the shallows down in Busselton and going home with a couple of Flathead and a Cobbler.

Is there anywhere between Rockingham and Joondalup that's good for that kind of thing?

Cheers

James

 Has anyone fished white hills beach in the past few days. Seeing what the sea weed situation is. 

Hey guys, has anyone been down to long point recently and if so what's the weed situation like?  I was there a week or 2 back and it was weeded to buggery.

Cheers.

 Well I've got f-all room for a boat so it's time to hit the beaches and the rocks and the jetties and what ever else. Being down here in Wellard, we are obviously close tp Rockingham etc, are there any decent LB spots for a pinkie fish around here? I know 30 odd years back it was Palm Beach jetty and places, but I hate the crowds as I've grown older, so what's a good place to chill and soak a line?

cheers

Dale

im heading to bremer bay at the start of dec and will be doing a little but of fishing. whats around that time of year? apart from the bread and butter stuff is there a chance of getting any salmon? 

 Just wondering what the beach is like at guilderton at the moment weed wise. Also Is the river mouth open?

Thinking about suggesting to my young bloke a sleep over on wilbingya beach on this weekend. Any recent reports of weed? Fishing? Are there herring, tailor, or mulloway about? Are you still allowed to camp on the beach?

 Thats south australia , not south africa , went over 13kg , thats a whopper!

 ( Not sure , thats what caption said, not sure its a sa plate on ute is it?)

 a big tailor anyway!

Heading up to Dirk Hartog next june staying at Quoin head,just wondering if anyone has stayed there could help us out of what to take both camping an fishing wise.

 Anyone planning to get out to metro walls/beaches chasing snapper with the weather coming through tonight/tomoro?

 G'day guys!

I have fished the cliffs south of steep point all my life and have seen many designs of extended boom arms with pulleys to keep your line off the rocks.

I have never really bothered with using one but I have a bit of spare time between the next trip and want a little project to work on. Would be great to see what other LBG fishos use off these ridiculous cliffs so i can try and design the perfect one!!

This is a photo I have pulled from the net (not my property) but it has the boom/ crane jib I am looking to make!
