oh and P.S can any1 tell me if this site is any good for price and equiptment http://www.anglerswarehouse.com.au/index.asp  thanks again

Mate whilst I cant give you much specific info on Karratha, fishing in the north of Oz isnt that difficult. Wobble a jig or plastic or piece of rag in front of most things and they will eat it . And if they dont ...move it faster !Anything from a freddo frog to a jelly snake will catch fish up here. The main thing is to be where where the fish are. Good sounders GPS and local knowledge are the keys. And fish the tides. If you dont have good sounders etc for the bottom species..look for surface activity and troll and cast around bait schools. look for the birds they will spot the action long before you will. Its much easier than fishing in the Southern areas. Of course local knowledge will also help you put the pieces together. Ohh... best 2 colours in the north for pelagics  ...red and white  or chartruese ( froggy green). or the one you have in your tackle bag ...good luck

 Thanks mate. I'm out with a local I've been out a few times but only ever done bait. Always caught fish but just wanted to get a bit more experience with different methods. He has a very good sounder and spots. So like I say will always catch fish I'm off into town tomorrow so will look around

 For jigs, I cannot get enough of the Shimano Centeral Vortex and the Daiwa Pirate Jigs.

Plastics: I like the larger GULP jerk baits, squid vicious and crazy legs. In non scented I love the 7" Madeye Flick stiks and the larger Zman jerkshads.

A mix of Jigheads would be appropriate due to varying water depth and current.

in terms of action, I like to work jigs VERY slow on the bottom  before doing the good old 'sambo' retrieve back to the boat. 

With plastics, I work then just like I do for bream but only with a bit more power in the lifts. 

Anyway, that is all, if you have any other questions PM me. 

Sorry for any random weird words chucked in or spelling errors- I am on my phone writing this

With jig heads, the weight of the jig head is usually appropriate for the corellating depth of water in metres. So for example, a 1/4 oz (7g) would be perfect for 7m, a 1oz (28g) would suit 28m and so on. Of course this is only a guide and doesn't take into account drift speeds or currents. I really like the nitro elevator jig heads if you can get your hands on them and find the gulp 7" jerk shads in nitro chicken most effective around perth. With jigging, I'm no expert, but the jig weight applies the same for plastics, except for in feet rather than metres. So if you're fishing 40m of water, a 120g jig would suffice. A bit of simple math will sort you out, but once again, you need to allow for drift speed and current. Hope this helps and good luck :)

Several years ago I got a lot of high end gear off Anglers Warehouse and found them excellent t deal with. I find now days that prices between here and over east are fairly compairable less the cost of freight and the gear we have is also of good quality and service, especially the discounts that come on offer There are a lot of very good stores in Perth and regional WA at the moment.

Cheers Neville
