Bobj Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Finally, after 4 months of rains and a boggy garden when I couldn't get the tinny out, had a session on the local dam (Kinchant Dam). The dam is at 100% and the water is fairly dirty, I could only see 5 ft into the water. The water temperature is down a fair bit due to all the rains and is at 28 C, whereas at the same time last year it was at 32 C. Only managed 1 small sooty grunter, but it gave a good account of itself. Yes, olly, I released it after the pic...:yes: Cheers, Bobj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been fishing off the rocks, about 1.5 km from my place.. Odd thing, not as many mossies since the big rains, which is quite astonishing! Best repellant..."Aveagoodweekend":yes: But have not used any for a while. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest9973 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 [ATTACH]2772[/ATTACH] Got out today 1st time in 3 months ,sharks were all over the place . Had some fun ,shame we couldnt go for the snapper . Same here in South Australia. Here is a report I put into a local fishing forum..... The sharks are in on some of the snapper spots. Just be careful. Fortunately they did not come up to see us. But one peeled off a massive amount of strong line on nearly a locked drag. He eventually bust off. Another good run but bust off again. Landed a nice 7 Fin shark though. Looking forward to some of him for tea tonight. My berley bag was destroyed as well I've still not dried out and boy did it blow up after lunch - tough going on the way back in! The state of my berley bag!! Dragged it up with something toothy hanging on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 First time for me since the cyclones. Went off the rocks, hooked up to a black-tip reef shark but it chewed through the line. Landed 5 ock-ocks. Also known as grunter, or javelin fish; all returned safely. Another trip out there this morning...:jiggy: Cheers, Bobj.

Not very much in the freshwater scene in WA, a few crap and trout in the south west is about all you'll get. Plenty of seafish especially around Rotto.:hug: And the WA dhu fish, perhaps the best tasting fish in the world... Pity that the WA govt. has put so many rules and regs up regards takeable fish.

Bobj Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Time to update this thread... Had a session off here yesterday. About 20 minutes after top tide, a few good bites and then these came up. A small spotty mackerel. And a very tastey bluey (black-spot tuskfish) One fillet of each to a mate, we had the bluey fillet for tea and maybe smoked mackerel for tea tonight. Cheers, Bobj.

Bobj Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Another session off the rocks, 6.30 AM First cast, lost a metal slice to a mackerel. Thawed out a few pillies, put one on and wham! a spanish mackerel...only 47 cm. threw it back. Ended up catching 14 spotty macks, but only kept 6, which will be distributed to the oldies in the village. Lost 3 terminal rigs and 1 metal slice. Lost 3 spotties to improper hook-ups and lost 1 to Clarrie the cod. Now have 12 fillets to clean...Hooroo. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest37336 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Here you go WTF/Bob, and the rest of the fishos out there. My top five fish and means of fishing. Thankfully Australia holds all these fish. Just need the Oxeye Herring to grow to the same size as the Tarpon of the states, and a consistent Bonefish fishery, (as in Exmouth) and I am as happy as, well, errrrrr, Bobj.:jiggy: Cheers Tony.:wink: PS. A big thank you to Pablo for showing me how to embed You Tube links. You don't know what you have unleashed here mate, next I'll be putting up cricket clips,:embarrassed::wink: [YOUTUBE]nT2chkSa0FM[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]EDwnaDqb4c0[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]bj5u1ybYjqU[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]7G0ssL_4lZM[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]iG3gbi_avsk[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big thank you to Pablo for showing me how to embed You Tube links. You don't know what you have unleashed here mate, next I'll be putting up cricket clips,:embarrassed::wink: G'day mate, Permit, aka oyster crackers are found all along the Qld coast from Hervey Bay to Normanton and can grow to 25 lbs (11kg) Flathead, aka lizards are found all along the Australian coast, especially northern NSW and can grow to 25 lbs as well, but these are the breeding females and should be returned as safely as possible. Jewfish, aka mulloway are found all along the Australian coast, most noteably along the South Australia side of the Bight and grow to 100lbs (46kg). In northern Qld and the NT we have the black jew, which reaches 50lbs (23kg) Tarpon, aka oxeye herring only grow to about 7 lbs in Australia and are mainly found from Broome, WA around the top to about northern NSW. The bones are found on a lot of "flats" along the north Qld coast from about Tin Can Bay, but are not really targetted, ergo there is not much info on them. Exmouth, WA, however is the main area for them and they can grow to about 17lbs (8 kg). Cheers, Bobj. PS. Add the mack attack to that list, Lemon...

Lurkio Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I am excellent at fishing, I get my husband to put on the bait, reel em in if they are too heavy, get him to take them off the hook, he puts that spike thing through their heads, then I stand proud as punch having my piccie taken with them! Go Susie!! For myself I favour the type of fishing that is accompanied by a large book and a bottle of chilled pink!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Another colour phase of the 'bluey'. (see post #694). And yesterday's effort, a 50 cm dusky flathead. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
