Bobj Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Great :no: We will now have a snapper ban next year ,not sure how long for :sad: G'day mate, it is for 6 weeks to let the snapper breed and recover. To my way of thinking it's a good idea. We have 2, or 3 'no reef finned fish times' in order to let them breed and we have a 3 month 'no take' for barra in the saltwater and estuaries for the same reason. Cheers, Bobj.

Guest Bobby Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 G'day mate, most of the fish I catch are released, but occasionally, as yesterday, I take some. If the macks are biting, I might take 3, 1 for Jo and me, and 2 to give to some oldies in town.Those 2 in the last post fed 4 of us and 1 fillet still to eat. BTW, the fingermark and the mack attack are in the top 5 (in my book) for fighting and eating qualities. Cheers, Bobj. Glad to hear that mate, I caught a large dolphin fish once and the skipper said watch his beutiful rainbow color die as he does, I felt so sad to see that beaut of a fish turn grey :embarrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Another session off the rocks, only a few 'taps' from some little toados...:arghh: Had pillies, prawns, softies and chromes but no mackerel to take them. Finally got 2 'blueys' and 1 goldspot cod, only a little chappy. All safely returned. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day mate, WA is very poor for freshwater fishos. There are a few areas in the south west that hold trout and the odd crap... The Kimberlies in the far norrth of the state is excellent for barramundi in most of the creeks and the Ord and Fitzroy rivers. On the other hand sea fishing is generally very good, be it beach, rocks, estuary, or off shore fishing. Queensland has a far better freshwater fishing environment. No licence necessary to fish the rivers and creeks, but a SIP (State Impoundment Permit) is needed to fish any of 30 dams at a cost of $35 a year. The sea fishing is excellent. Very few fishos target crap due to the fish's disgusting mud-sucking habits. Suggest that you look at some of the older posts on this thread to get a picture of fishing in Australia. Cheers, Bobj.

Guest Guest 47403 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi guys planning on moving out to Perth towards the end of this year, is it worth bringing my coarse fishing tackle with me it's all match orientated for rivers and canals, or should I sell it and buy a beach set upwhen I get out there reading above coarse fishing in WA is no good.

Not sure what species are down in Perth mate but up here you can fish light for bream, gar and whiting. I even did a bit of swing tipping when I first got here and was fairly successful with whiting, bream and flathead. Depends really what you can get for it.............if it's peanuts, then I would bring it, but be meticulous in cleaning it before you do. If it's a pole, I wouldn't bother. kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Kev I will pass this onto the King of Siam who wasnt aware of this until today... Now I went for a paddle today in my back yard (swimming pool :laugh: The River Tamar), the King of Siam has tried to convince me that no sharks frequent Tasmania:elvis:.. A young fisherman who has been helping us out proudly told me that the Tamar is a nursery for sharks hence very much protected.... God I thought I had left all the nasty stuff behind in WA:cry::fish2: Thank you for the link :hug: NBWrap one of the exposed wire ends around the positive (+) node on your 6-volt battery. Wrap the other wire around the negative (-) battery node. The nodes on the battery look similar to conical bed springs.
