Krispy ! Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Was itching for a fish today so took a light set up and some lures to go for a fish aftrr uni. Got a couple of solid tailor in the high forties and a nice salmon which took a while to land with 4lb and no net. Even managed to foul hook a good sized blue swimmer which was a nice surprise. Hooked a kingy as well which done me on the 4lb and after that no luck with the other lure. Nice 2 hour session even though it was raining still had a great time.

Yowie Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Good work there Krispy. Finally get to a beach here in W.A. which is supposed to have some fish, and the swell is pounding in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispy ! Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks fellas, Witha I was mixing it up abit and I found retrieving at medium pace but keeping the speed constant got alot more hits. Yowie get back to Sydney, all the fish are here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yowie get back to Sydney, all the fish are here No sh!t. Wish I was there. The south west corner of W.A. is a great place to visit. Very blue, clean water even in close. Plenty of wineries, also a few breweries. Good meat and fresh food. There are some fish here and there, better in a boat but a fishing licence is needed to fish from a boat, though not off the shore or rocks. The fresh fish can be pricey, up to $75 a kilo for snapper fillets, $58 for sand whiting fillets, up to $55 for cooked king prawns. The fisherman say they can pull those prices or better from the Asian markets, so if Aussies want to buy those fish, pay those prices or buy the cheaper crap that is sent over from Asia. (eg. Mekong catfish, called Bassa fillets ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well Krispy, had a fish at Smiths Beach (Yallingup, a couple of hours south of Perth) and pulled out 3 herring, or tommy ruffs, on a lure. Dropped 3 more as the 4 to 6 foot shore dumpers knocked the fish off the lure. I was trying for salmon. The locals talk about the salmon being 4 to 6 kilos (have yet to see one that size) but only the herring were biting. Around the 25cm mark, which is about average, but when filleted, they make a tasty meal. At least I caught something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispy ! Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Good stuff yowie, did you try throwing a herring out live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Good stuff yowie, did you try throwing a herring out live? No. Only had a lure on the rod, the tackle box was back up in the car, and I was along the beach a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
