All accompanied by the usual samson fish and tuna activity. Sponsors’ support for the Club was excellent from all quarters, particularly from Jurien Bay businesses and the local community, which enhanced the turnout at the Shimano WA Open held at Jurien Bay at the end of March. Most importantly the fish also turned up to the event. One day fishing events were mostly well patronised throughout the season although the weather took care of some. Social nights too, had good support from members, sponsors and guests. Members acquitted themselves well in other clubs’ tournaments particularly at Exmouth GFC’s Gamex and the Dampier Classic. Many members also related tales of fishing activities elsewhere in the country and internationally. Developments during 2012 included the introduction of a members’ capture record list which is currently being brought up to speed. Innovations introduced into the FAD program are being supported by Recfishwest. Recognition of members with more than 25 years in the club was a feature of this year’s Presentation Night Dinner. The most encouraging aspect for the Club in 2012 has been a sharp increase in membership. From levels in the low 200’s for much of the past decade, the membership has risen to around 290, easily breaking the record of 272 set in 1990 and again in 1991. Looking forward, the outlook for the 2013 club year is for a greater range of activities, foremost of which is the introduction of the City Beach Builders Championship Series; a series of mostly one day events that offer a yearly award to the boat and member accomplishing the highest number of points. Concurrent with this will be the Club Championships with little change from previous years. Sponsorship for the program and for the Club in general has increased significantly with pledges from many new and returning organisations attracted to Gold and Silver level sponsorship. A member familiarisation program, dubbed MFP, has been developed for introduction in the new year and is aimed at developing fishing skills and familiarisation with the techniques used in game fishing. Upgrading of the RPYC Annexe building is planned for early in the year, which will make the building much more usable in the hot evenings when the sun blasts in. I would like to extend my thanks to the committee which has provided me with strong support in 2012 and to the many members who have contributed to this issue of Strike, which is our biggest and best yet. All in all, your Club has had a successful year, and expectations going forward are for an even better one in 2013. Recently I read the 1971 Annual Report of the club where the President, the late Sir Garrick Agnew, wrote. “The year also saw the introduction of ‘Strike’, the Club’s official publication. The three issues have proved its worth in keeping members informed about club activities and gamefishing in general. However, I must point out that like everything, the continuing success of ‘Strike’ depends entirely on members. Without your continuing interest, illustrated by a constant supply of information, ‘Strike’ will founder. I urge you all to maintain a steady flow of news to our publicity officer” This was of course written at a time where current communications were not even dreamt about, but the message remains the same. Strike is now published yearly and the once quarterly issues have been supplanted by the 4 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 Boat with the highest points in local waters Club Trophy - Runner Up Boat Boat with second highest points in local waters Eddy Moss Trophy Male Angler with highest points in local waters Club Trophy – Runner Up Angler Club Trophy – Runner Up Angler Junior Trophy Small Fry Trophy Rock N Roll (Brian Arnett / Phil Volich) 7225 Pts Joff Weston 4853 Pts Female with highest points in local waters Sangeeta Menon 2160 Pts Male Angler with second highest points in local waters Ben Weston 4535 Pts Female Angler with second highest points in local waters Casey Sorrell 1425 Pt Junior with highest points in local waters Jessica Jarrett 150 Pts Small Fry with highest points in local waters Tom Bell Trophy Highest point scoring fish weighed in local waters Club Trophy Highest point scoring fish tagged in local waters Pannawonica Trophy AWARDED TO Reel Addiction 2 (Mark Jarrett) 9368 Pts Not awarded Trent Chilman 18 kg yellowfin tuna on 6 kg Grant Mills Blue marlin on 37 kg Boat with highest points for billfish in local waters Soleado 2 Soleado 2 Angler Grant Mills Skipper Basil Downs Wire Man N/A Michael Officer Trophy Team trophy for the first marlin tagged and released on a Club registered boat by a Club member in local waters Roland Smith Trophy Patron’s Trophy Carl Georgeff Basil Downs Trophy Dave Gray 30.1 kg yellowfin tuna on 24 kg Largest game fish weighed excluding marlin and sharks in local water Most species tagged and released in local waters Ben Weston 5 Species Angler with highest points tag and release marlin in local waters Grant Mills Club Trophy Highest point scoring fish outside local waters Darryn Visagie 10.8 kg long tail tuna on 6 kg Ivan Quartermaine Trophy Angler with highest number of fish tagged in local waters Neil Patrick Trophy Most tagged and released line class marlin worldwide except local waters Ben Weston 30 fish Mako Charters Trophy Highest point scoring mackerel weighed Rhyss Whittred Marlin Cup Jack Clugston Medal Billfish event run over 2 days to boat with the highest points.

Craig White 2 kg Brian Arnett 6 kg Ben Weston Rhyss then gave an outline of the plans for 2013. These include the City Beach Builders’ Championship series, improvements to the clubrooms, the member familiarisation program designed to improve members’ skills and understanding of game fishing, inclusion of a family and longer term membership options and of course the Marlin Cup mentioned above. There is a real effort to be made to further increase membership and benefits for all members. Ivan Erceg Line class local waters 3 kg Dean Watson President Rhyss Whittred opened the evening with thanks to the 2012 committee and the many members who contributed their time to the Club. He followed up with an outline of the club activities, members’ achievements, for the year, FAD innovations and the introduction of club angling records. Holding the Shimano WA Open at Jurien Bay was a real highlight with a successful tournament and as many as 40 new members attracted. This will be followed up by the Marlin Cup in February 2013. Not awarded Non committee member recognised for outstanding contribution to the Club during the course of the year frequent Hook-Up newsletters which summarise current events and Facebook which covers immediate happenings. Held on 20th October, the 2012 Presentation night was well patronised by 105 members and guests and included representation from many of the Club’s sponsors. Club Patron the Honourable Dr Kim Hames MLA was an apology due to a conflict with another function. Jim Ireland 7 Fish Club Person of the year Letter from the Editor Once again an excellent contribution from members and strong support from sponsors has enabled the 2013 issue of Strike to be put together. AWARD DESCRIPTION President’s Trophy Secretary’s Trophy Annual Awards Presentation 2012 17.8 kg yellowfin tuna Peter Coote - Editor 5 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU Annual Awards Presentation 2012 (Continued) 2012 Shimano WA Open The 30th Annual 2012 Shimano WA Open was held in the waters off Jurien Bay on the state’s mid-west coast. PGFC has held a couple of events there in the past and with improved road access, excellent marina and launching facilities and a very willing group of local anglers, the township with a population of less than 2000 lent itself well to the event. The President then introduced the 25+ year members to the audience. Pleasingly all but 5 of those recognised were able to attend on the night and that part of the event galvanised the evening into one of close camaraderie. The annual awards were made to the deserving members who had strived to achieve during the year. Regrettably Joff Weston who just pipped his brother to champion angler status was unable to attend because of illness. In a good natured written acceptance speech Joff lorded it over his older sibling Ben, who vowed the results would be reversed next year. The team on Grant Mills’ Soleado II were successful in earning the coveted Michael Officer Trophy for the first marlin tagged and released for 2012. Jim Ireland took out the prestigious Neil Patrick Trophy for the most marlin tagged and released outside Perth waters with a commendable score of seven, among a contender list including another six members. Not surprisingly to most, but as a surprise to the recipient, Craig White was awarded Club Person of the Year in recognition of his enthusiasm and dedication in helping to put the Jurien Bay event together - a great professional effort. The attraction of the crowd to wonderful raffle prizes supplied by Seaport Charters, Duncraig Village Dental and Ross Ezekiel Jewellers was shown in their raffle support. Winding up the evening Rhyss was thanked by those attending for the excellence of the event and the hard work that he had personally put in to make it so successful. Thanks to Jodie Jarrett and Dave Gray for photos. Although the continental shelf is 26 miles out, there are a series of banks and troughs which provide structures harbouring both pelagic and demersal species. Being around 100 Nm north of Fremantle means warmer water and more game species as was borne out during the event. 25 Year Membership Awards At the annual Presentation Night Dinner in October, awards were made to all the members who had been in the club for 25 years or more. In future years the 25 year membership recognition will become part of Presentation Night. Those acknowledged in 2012 were, Brian Arnett (1987) Mark Maher (1984) Peter Babarskas (1987) Ben Patrick (1984) Martin Box (1977) Neil Patrick (1973 - Life Member) Bob Burdinat (1987) Ivan Quartermaine (1964 - Life Member) Tim Carter (1986) David Rosenbrock (1971) Kevin Chester (1984) Ian Stagles (1979 - Life Member) Mark Chrystal (1979) John Webber (1978 - Life Member) John Cramer (1983) Kay Webber (1978) Basil Downs (1973) Bill Woodthorpe (1979) Ron Durell (1973 - Life Member) Many of these members have taken an active part on the committee of the club (four are ex Presidents), and are still active anglers and club members. The next group of 25 year members to be recognized will be ten members who joined in 1990. 6 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 The verdant surroundings of the Jurien Bay Golf Club provided the ideal venue for Friday evening’s briefing and Sunday’s presentation night. There is no doubt about the humour that emanates from the country folk which is matched by their hospitality. The mix of boats was five who motored up from the Perth metro area, four local boats and the remainder trailer boats from the Perth metro area, a total of 19. The event was a qualifying tournament for the IGFA World Championships to be held in Quepos Costa Rica in mid April 2013, it is also sanctioned by WAGFA and fished under GFAA rules. The rules reward variety of species and billfish with tag and release being strongly encouraged through the scoring system. The briefing got the tournament off to a great start with some local pride at stake driving up the Calcutta funds. The sail-past and shotgun start was a spectacle for the onlookers lining the local town jetty as well as those on the boats which were regaled in Shimano and PGFC flags as well as tag and capture flags flying from the outriggers. The most photographed boat of the event, Ivan Erceg’s Cabo 32 “Xotica” led the fleet in the round-up manned by the crew of last year’s winning team. Paul Male on “Polar” left the field behind after the traditional shotgun start. The first morning’s fishing was greeted by typical moderate south easterly winds changing later in the day to south westerlies. A swell of 3m prevented all but a few of the locals from trusting the south passage exit from the bay. Radio strength and interference which is apparently typical of the area resulted in little chit chat on the radio, but during the day, three marlin hook-ups were called in from “Centrelink”, ”Xotica” and “Valkoista”, all locally crewed boats. “Xotica” had their teaser destroyed in a triple pronged marlin attack, however they were unable to successfully hook the fish more than momentarily. Only “Centrelink” managed to tag their fish which despite their initial call of marlin while it was in the water, turned out to be a very large sailfish. All the billfish were raised in water depths around 50m. Good catches on many boats were a feature of the afternoon. At the weigh station tags and captures for amberjack, mulloway, snapper, Spanish mackerel, striped tuna and wahoo were counted. Regrettably many fish were disqualified by small rule transgressions such as incorrect leader lengths. Shortly after lines out, Jurien Bay Sea Rescue advised of a missing jet skier and asked for support in search and rescue. “Centrelink”,”Crackawoody”, “Jelomi”, “Kokoda”, “Tom Cat”, “Valkoista” “Xotica” and “Yogi” all helped out. The outcome was favourable with the jet-skier being blown onto a beach some kilometres north. At the same time Don Stander’s “Couta-Cat” came across a small boat in difficulty and went into hazardous waters less than a metre and a half deep to tow in a dinghy without a radio. No formal events were conducted on Saturday evening as sleep deprivation from the previous night and long day kicked in. With lines in at 0600 the next morning the teams wanted to be there for the start. Local sponsor Sandpiper Tavern put on a great feed for 60 anglers before they headed off for bed. 7 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU 2012 Shimano WA Open (Continued) Sunday morning turned up a smaller swell but still choppy seas. The green water of the previous day had given away to cobalt blue and there was good bait and bird activity in waters to the north and north west within about 15 Nm of the marina. A couple of boats were in fish all day and the results show it. Boats that went south and west saw some fish but were disappointed. Sunday’s catch was again diverse with mahi mahi, samson fish, Spanish mackerel, striped tuna and wahoo being tagged and weighed. There were many bustoffs which included marlin, yellowfin tuna and big mackerel. An early lines out at 1500 to allow for the presentation night had boats scooting for home, many for the tow home to Perth and others to be cleaned up for a delayed departure. The presentation night was again a success. The team of “Xotica” taking out the Champion Boat prize which included an invitation to the 2013 IGFA World Championships in Costa Rica. 8 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 Trent Chilman aboard his boat “Tom Cat” and on his first PGFC club competition won the Champion Angler title. Ivan Erceg was the Jack Clugston Medal winner as well as Runner-up Champion Angler. After the awards ceremony, all prizes not awarded were handed out in a free raffle to all the crews. No team went home empty handed. All boats enjoyed good fishing. At a guess, in excess of 120 eligible fish were hooked up over the weekend. 9 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU 2012 Shimano WA Open (Continued) Results Jurien Bay Community Sponsors Weighed Fish Closest to 15.7 kg WA Open Champion Boat Xotica Owner Ivan Erceg Skipper Craig White 1658 Points 14.56 kg Wahoo Trent Chilman Mining & Hydraulics Line Class Awards 4 kg 6 kg 10 kg Shimano Champion Male Angler Trent Chilman 1391 Points Trent Chilman Trent Chilman Deon Van Der Westhuizen Day Prizes Day 1 Polar For showing a clean pair of heels to the fleet at the start Bluewater Tackle Runner-Up Champion Boat Tom Cat Owner /Skipper Trent Chilman 1391 Points Day 2 Couta - Cat For participating in a daring rescue Bluewater Tackle Runner-Up Champion Angler Ivan Erceg Xotica 700 Points Individual and Boat Scores Shimano Most Tagged Fish Xotica Ivan Erceg On a countback Highest Points Scoring Fish other than a Marlin or Shark Tie - Mark Jarrett and Rhyss Whittred Reel Addiction 2 Highest Points Scoring Fish on a Halco Lure Mark Jarrett Reel Addiction 2 Highest Points Scoring Fish on a Richter Lure Rhyss Whittred Reel Addiction 2 Trent Chilman 1391 Ivan Erceg 700 Rhyss Whittred 450 Mark Jarrett 450 Tony Wiggers 375 Rob Martin 333 Craig White 250 Darryn Visagie 250 Kevin Drewery 150 Deon van der Westhuizen 147 Todd Streckfuss 104 Perth Game Fishing Club would like to thank these Jurien Bay organizations for their help and sponsorship in making this tournament possible.

More recently with his 58’ boat Valkoista, he has been building up a business as a successful charter fisherman out of Jurien Bay. As with all the charter fishermen mentioned in Strike, he is the top operator in his patch and rarely fails to “bag out” for his charter clients. Skippering Xotica in the 2012 Shimano WA Open, he was successful in getting the Champion Boat award. His passion is light tackle fishing for pelagic species and he has become an accomplished jigger in deep water. This is Craig’s brief overview of the Jurien Bay season just finished. The 2012 Jurien Bay game season kicked off with masses of bait fish shoaling up from 60 m all the way onto the back of the reef. Compared with the 2011 season there was a noticeable lack of southern blue fin tuna unlike the masses of last year, however the Spanish mackerel were thick and wide spread with consistent captures of fish in the 18 kg range out wider. Jigs proved to be one of the most productive forms of fishing with my most notable capture being a 23.7 kg Spaniard jigged from the bottom in 95m on a Shimano Stella 5000. The pelagic species had all but shut down by late July, until a night run in mid September when using a live flying fish and lumo stick, we hooked up to a what we’re calling a broadbill, for a three hour epic battle with the fish eventually winning. By far the most powerful fish I’ve hooked to date. If 2013 turns out like this year we are in for some very good sports fishing. The local members of PGFC are eagerly awaiting the Marlin Cup in February. Here’s hoping. By early February the conditions out wide were looking great for another crack at some billfish. Our first run turned out to be epic, we decided to try some new ground that looked very fishy and it paid off, three marlin raised, three hooked and two captured. The two captured blue marlin were estimated at 120 kg and 180 kg, the fish that got away was easily the biggest, well over 200 kg. Throughout the next few months several more fish in the 120-150 kg range were captured in depths from 140-600 m with numerous juvenile blacks caught in shallower waters around 50-60 m. Over the next few months the game fishing turned on from the back of the reef to the shelf. There were regular captures of yellowfin tuna, mackerel, wahoo, mahi mahi, yellowtail Ear t hi nssamson i t e 1/ 3fish marand c h the 1/ 13/ 05 11: 42 AM Page 1 kingfish, occasional sailfish.

Ron’s Bertram 42 “Indian Ocean” was a familiar sight at the Rottnest weigh station and in Narrow Neck. In mid 2012 he and his wife Jan took tale in the delights of the Dampier Peninsula north of Broome and sent us this tale of their fishing adventures on “Little Indian Ocean”. Jan and I have just come back from five weeks at Middle Lagoon, 200 km north of Broome. This was the 5th year that we have been going to this great spot on the west coast of Dampier Peninsular. The sunsets are fantastic; each day is like ground hog day. The fishing is great and if the conditions are perfect, which is nearly always, there are some really good captures. “I have attached a brief note, some photos and a little story about a place we have just been to, you may like to share it with the members. We have bought a new game boat (LITTLE INDIAN OCEAN) since selling the 42 Bertram “Indian Ocean”, It is a 3700 Traveller, that’s 3700 mm and it is great fun. It was really good to read the old Strike published in Hook-Up recently and remember what is like to bring in marlin and weigh the fish at the Rottnest weigh station. Many visitors to Rottnest and several PGFC boats would moor up around the weigh station and as you can imagine have lemonade or two, this was a special time in the club’s history. It was the normal thing to do. At the time we thought it was promoting the area and our club. Over time the club started to see a lot of public opinion starting to develop against hanging up a marlin. The marlin I think shown in that edition of Strike was given to club member Gavin Glauert’s restaurant, The Ward Room, back in those days we had our committee meetings in a small room at the rear of his restaurant in Subiaco. We managed to bring in many big mackerel, some with a length wider than the tinnie, big trevally and we both tagged and released an 8 ft to 9 ft sailfish, l don’t know the weight, it was 3 ft shorter the than the boat. In the mighty game boat all the sailfish bill grabbing and tagging is done from the flybridge, you know you are in the flybridge because the bimini cover is right next to you. It is an exciting experience because I have to get on my knees to lower the centre of gravity, lean over and grab the trace and then the bill as the fish glides past, and make sure I don’t tip Jan overboard while bringing the sailfish alongside. It was Jan’s first billfish. The mackies were a challenge also, with four legs and one snappy fish in the bottom of the boat. We were lucky we had another small boat close by that was able to take some of the photos. Good fishing and best wishes.” Ron Durell Life member DO YOU KNOW THE WINNING GAMEFISHING TECHNIQUES?

I am putting this together, as although it was a bitter pill to swallow at the time, sharing mistakes and failures hopefully can avoid others making the same errors and improve their hook ups and captures. We set off in Caribbean on Saturday morning with the intent of running out wide in search of some yellowfin tuna and marlin. We picked up some little southern blues in the 170’s and ran them as live baits out to the FADs with no success. The rig was just a circle hook with 300 lb fluorocarbon crimped with a cat’s paw on one end and uni knotted onto the hook (as per Al McGlashan’s preferred method from Strike Zone), with a dacron loop through the eye socket. It works very well and the fish were well and truly alive after 10 miles at about 5 knots. Once past the FADs, which were loaded with boats throwing whole squid with massive sinkers at 2 kg mahis and with amazing water and calm seas, we decided to head wider into the depths of the trench, towards the 1000 m mark. As we headed out the water temperature was rising steadily and all the signs were good. Moments after crossing a current line the 24 kg outfit on the long rigger exploded into life. Brother Joff grabbed it and I started to clear the spread. Whilst cranking in the short corner another striped marlin grabbed the long corner and leapt out of the water for two jumps before throwing the hooks. In the middle of this another fish has come in and wacked the bird teaser with the squid chain so hard that all that was left was the central pin and the teaser rope! We cleared the deck (somewhat slowly according to Joff) and proceeded to get the fish in, an estimated 50 kg stripey, for a tag shot which went it on the first attempt from Colin (Dad) our green horn on the tag pole. Great shot just quietly as you can see. We took a very quick photo, then swam the fish and watched it power back down to the depths to recover. We were annoyed that we didn’t capitalise on the second or third fish, it shows that it pays to have a switch bait ready to go at all times and also to ensure your hooks are sharpened to a solid point to ensure penetration is achieved on hook up. After getting all the gear back in the water we trolled the grounds around the initial hook up point for another 30 minutes with limited success then headed wider again out to 1000 m. The water temp here was upwards of 26.3 degrees and the surface was covered with phytoplankton of some sort with millions of very small fish sheltering under these banks of “red cloud”. As we approached these banks we could see old timber doors in the water and hoped they would be holding some decent mahis.

Through a bit of detective work he contacted PGFC. The FAD was 60 Nm from Fremantle in less than 50 m of water so was unlikely to have had all its mooring gear attached. We hoped the locals would get some use out of it. Being 26 Nm west of Cape Bouvard the practicalities of collecting it were not good, but enquiries were made and members Tim Carson and Rick Ashton were on the verge of at least doing a reconnoitre and possibly towing it into Dawesville. At about the time that was to happen, another call came in to the effect that it was 10 Nm west of Prevelly Park and slowly drifting south. The Augusta Sea Rescue Group volunteered to keep an eye out for it, with the weather being kind and many of their CHARTS WEATHER FORECAST AIS members out for a fish on the Friday and Saturday of the following weekend. ARPA Alas, no further news and with storm condition in the following days, the best we could hope for was for it to be found washed up somewhere. Some years ago one was found on the coast near Marrawah in north west Tasmania.

[email protected] - +33 (0)559 438 075 23 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU Ultradeep Fishing Dampier Classic 2012 Damien Wham The past year has seen an increasing interest in bottom fishing in ultradeep water. Many who have pulled a lure or bait behind a boat between the FADs and may have been excited by the density of fish appearing on echo sounders as they crossed the wreck of the HMAS Derwent or other deep structure would be surprised to know what fish can be found there and further out. In the past it was only occasional hearsay reports from those not connected with the club that caught our attention. Four stories of catches of deep water species on middleweight tackle have come in. They have been edited in the interest of brevity, but are nonetheless tantalizing. The first for the year came from Sangeeta Menon. “My plan for this year is to fish various species and concentrate more on the heavier line class than my usual light 1 kg. Needless to say I was thrilled when I was invited to fish with President Rhyss and his good mate Ryan Thipthorp. It was with excitement and anticipation when we met Ryan down at the Cockburn Power Club and loaded up his new and well equipped 680 Haines Patriot with food and gear. The first thing I noticed was one huge esky loaded with ice, next I noticed the biggest sounder I had ever seen (Furuno FCV 1150) and a fancy computer GPS (Maxsea) screen in the dash. I knew then that the scene was set. We went out deep, past where we fish the FADs. Ryan and Rhyss had their eyes glued to the sounder chatting about stuff that I knew nothing about. When at last we got there, I got the nod to have the first drop down with some big bait. I hooked up quickly to a fish and fought it all the way to the top with manual pump and wind to get my first blue-eye trevalla of about 10 kg. I was impressed with Ryan’s outfit, a smooth electric reel coupled to Master Evolution 400 rod, a real pleasure to use. One rule Ryan had - you fight fish in the manual mode only and only bring up dead line in electric mode. There is no feeling in the world that compares to bringing up a fish from the depths of the ocean using your biceps, triceps and quads that feel like they are going to separate from your body, knowing you have 600 m of line to pull up! A battle of pure muscle. Rhyss dropped next and it wasn’t long before he hooked up. With the rod fully loaded up he was a happy man with double header of grey-banded cod and hapuka. My next drop was with a bulked up big slimy mackerel bait. Within a short time the rod loaded up, this time pulling me against the gunwale. Whatever was on the other end was very big, many of these super deep species fight hard and this fish didn’t give up. After a great fight, the boys gaffed the fish, a big blue-eye trevalla (22.5 kg). I was spent after that fight. We headed in after this and I will never forget this fantastic day. Thanks guys for an awesome experience” In June we received this image from Derek Barlow, fishing in 440 m of water down south where he got a serious workout on a large blue-eye trevalla which are incidentally an exceptional table fish. This is the fourth annual report on the Dampier Classic that Damien Wham has filed. The tournament, run by King Bay Game Fishing Club attracts scores of boats and hundreds of anglers and is a highlight on the game fishing calendar in the north west. Last year we speculated that after finishing in the top 5, a place or better would be a just reward for many years of trying in often times very ordinary weather and with many instances of plain old bad luck. Congratulations are in order this year after the crew came home with second place. Leaving behind a bitter chill of Perth for Karratha is always a bonus but this year I had Glen Rattigan join me for his first taste of fishing Dampier style. The forecast was looking magnificent with no wind and no need for a jumper: we expected to be in for a treat. As with last year, we left Dampier boat ramp late on Thursday afternoon to stay around the islands and camp on the boat for the four nights rather than in the shack, so we could fish for sharks all night and have a quick exit in the morning. Friday morning started at 5, when we were off to the much talked up mackerel spot. It did not take long to deliver the goods and turned out to be the best three hours of fishing I have ever witnessed. We had our boat limit of 10 mackerel in extra quick time having four anglers this year, and went on to catch around 20 fish. Last year Cam discovered that under the mackerel were trevally so it was out with the jigs. First drop and Darren was on a solid fish and to our surprise in came a beautiful coral trout around 5 kg which made awesome fish burgers. We managed to get our 10 trevally fairly quickly which also included some hefty GT’s, bludger and gold spot, but the real treat was having 4 cobia follow up a trevally all the way the boat. I am not going to take a guess at their size but the trevally was 8-10 kg. Throw in five bronze whalers and that capped off an unbelievable session and it was only mid morning. From here, we went behind the ships to try our luck on billfish but seemed to have missed the bite. We did manage two blacks with a lot of effort. From here, we decided to spend the late afternoon at North West Reef in hope of large scale tuna and again we had some success landing, along with more along with more mackerel and trevally. Friday night was spent chasing sharks and again we had luck on our side catching more whalers and a couple of hammerhead sharks. The next three days proved to be difficult to find the extra species we needed to keep getting tags in. With the weather as good as it was and a boat that does 40 knots we zig - zagged all around the archipelago managing the odd fish. We had two good sessions at a marker boy tagging seven long tail tuna close to 20 kg as well as my first triple tail. We finished the comp with 61 tags between the four of us and 49 tags / 8 species for the boat, which gave us second place again. With the advent of the snapper run in August many members were fishing wide for extra large snapper and going to extreme depths in the search for big snapper and other species. Johnno Wroth and his crew aboard “Naturaliste” had several very successful snapper days and one big day in deep water depths to 350 m aboard his boat “Naturaliste”. “Departing at 5 am from Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour and armed with both spin and electric reels loaded with braid, rigs and jigs, Naturaliste returned to the deep water where they had marked some standout ground over the summer months when out wide chasing billfish. The pink snapper have been very reliable both inshore and offshore in depths up to 200m but on this trip Naturaliste was trying out the deep drop style of fishing. Possible species targeted include hapuka, blue-eye trevalla, ruby snapper, grey banded cod to name a few. (Continued page 40) 24 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 25 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU Metro Mackerel Run Metro Mackerel Run With the Leeuwin current belting down the coast creating high temperatures wide of Rottnest and spawning warm eddies laden with bait fish to the south of the island it was inevitable that wahoo and mackerel would be caught early in the year. The extent of the influx of fish over a period of 2 months is a reminder of the reported catches of the early 1950s when the club was in its infancy and the members then were taking Spaniards close to Fremantle. Tim Carson, Dave Gray, Ben Weston and Damien Wham were among the members who fished this phenomenon. Johnno Wroth penned this account in April. Casey Sorrell (better half) and I have never, in our lives, witnessed such hot fishing off Perth waters. For the past 5 weeks we have consistently released between 4 and 10 mackerel per trip. The usual spot varies between the 26 and 46 m isobaths south of Rottnest and is holding more bait than ever. Often we are not chasing birds but looking for the large bait balls which, as, the season gets later, have been deeper and deeper. Another PGFC angler, Damien Wham even jigged up a 17 kg northern bluefin tuna whilst chasing mackerel at depth. My favourite session so far was with best friend Tom Puddy and his wife Donna and daughter Grace when we left the pick at Parker after a long breakfast and coffees to join Al Bevan in what can only be described as the session of a lifetime. In only 18 m of water, two Halco divers were deployed with the first being hit instantly and the second as the first rod was grabbed! Unfortunately we dropped a fish but the other was a spotted or school mackerel that went 8kg! I have caught these in Exmouth Gulf but certainly not this size. For the next 3 hours we were hooking up every 20 minutes and sometimes with doubles. Lures working the best were Halco 190’s in red head, flouro green and gold. Later that day we also caught a shark mackerel. This type of session has taken up most of my weekends for the past month however the fish and bait appears to be moving deeper and deeper requiring a gradual change of tactics. We still find the bait on the sounder but have noticed the birds are much less prolific and only larger gannets are around. These birds which I don’t often see in inshore waters are often good indicators for yellowfin tuna or billfish which may be pushing bait but well below the surface. Recently in Cabo San Lucas fishing in the Pacific we would only pay attention to these gannets as they would not be concerned with small clusters of surface bait but only the deeper bait balls caused by larger predatory fish. I have also started running Halco Crazy Deeps and Giant Tremblers. Colour preference has been red head and red neck on the Crazy Deeps and the Giant Trembler - chrome pink and baitfish. With deeper lures I’ve been slowing the troll speed to 4-5 knots. Gabriel Gomez, on Time Out, told me he has been running at 3.5 knots to ensure the lures run deeper! I have been struggling to catch them on 4 kg and now they are staying deeper this is proving more challenging with smaller deep divers. On Anzac Day we headed out at 1030 am reaching the grounds at gentlemen’s hours again and within minutes dropped a fish on 6 kg, pulling the hooks. Unfortunately the day was too perfect and even running teasers we were unable to raise any more fish so went for a bottom bounce. Catching a small dhuie and breaksea cod we had satisfied visiting crew, Alex and Andrew’s appetite for a fillet so we steamed back to the bait grounds. Sun setting and no boats to be seen, the ocean glassed off like a mill pond – this is what autumn fishing is all about. Then we experienced pure magic. All around us for over a mile the golden ocean surface started to erupt with bait like it was hailing! You could actually hear the noise over the twin Yanmars at 5 knots! I was halfway through an outrigger demonstration when the Richter soft grassy trailing only metres from the transom, was yanked from my hands before it became tipped wrapped and snapped off my 10 kg outfit! Within seconds the 6 kg and another 10 kg Tiagra started screaming as the double hookup threw us all into action as the sun dipped below the horizon. Dropping one again as it kept swimming at speed towards the boat, we knocked over the second within about 10 minutes. I find that when you’re on the helm with these fish it pays to keep it in gear and stay at troll speed until the angler knows exactly which direction the fish is swimming on its initial run. The first run of Spaniards is so fast that if its going with you it will often throw the hook as it overtakes the line and the pressure may pull the hook out from behind it.

Junior Cuts his Teeth on Spaniards After much pestering of grandfather and life member Peter, junior angler Hayden Coote got to try out some newly acquired fishing gear on fish further up the chain than his usual herring and whiting. On a dead calm day in the middle of April’s mackerel run, trolling from Parker Point towards Dyer Island and after being frustrated by not getting anything from the massive bait schools, lines in were called. This was the signal to the mackerel not to miss a last minute opportunity. After a 10 minute fight on 4 kg gear Hayden had nailed his first game fish. Membership of our club happened the following week and a further week later, again in ideal conditions at the PGFC FAD, he had a similar experience with mahi mahi. It took a couple more trips searching, but not finding, tuna and tailor to convince him that successful game fishing isn’t just a matter of putting a line in the water and hooking them. But hooked he is with nearly every spare moment dedicated to studying fish books and magazines. A great activity for the younger ones who should all be encouraged in this great pastime. 26 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 Our Marine Manager has more than 20 year’s industry experience and his team of highly-qualified technicians is committed to keeping you afloat.

The focus of this initiative was to increase member participation for club fishing events through the introduction of additional club competition days. The outcomes of this sub-committee included changes to the club’s daily bag limits of selected species, revising the points for each species to reflect the current fishery, introduction of further game fish species to the points score list and introduction of double points for all club competition days. Grey areas in competition rules were also addressed. The changes implemented in 2012 season were largely successful and have been refined and wrapped into a formalised Championship Series of competitions to be held monthly throughout the 2013 year. Further objectives to extend the program of regular club activities and encourage membership were developed. City Beach Builders are partnering the Club in the inaugural Championship Series of competitions. • FishingtimesfortheChampionshipSerieswillbe 7am to 3pm The series will provide a competition platform which includes a program of regular club activities, encouraging new memberships, providing an opportunity for members who are otherwise time poor to get out at least once a month, and very importantly promoting a united front to the community of responsible fishing practices. • Weighstationopeningtimeswillbefrom5pmto7pm The City Beach Builders Championship Series will run in parallel with the current PGFC Annual Club Championships and points scored in the Series will be included in the Annual Championships.

The term modern is used, as when it began it was a multi FAD operation with equipment that was recoverable. Previous programs had launched only a couple of units at best and whilst they were large and robust, they were weighted down and generally constructed of scrap materials and were not recoverable. 2012 was the first time satellite trackers were used in an attempt to determine the destiny of those which for whatever reason were lost. For the 2012 season, modifications were made to floats and mooring gear to improve durability, additional features were the attachment of Fisheries WA temperature sensors to top & bottom of the All Marine Services & PGFC FADs, enclosed radar reflectors were fitted to the all Marine Services, Club Marine, PGFC and Furuno FADs, and satellite trackers were fitted to the All Marine Services, Club Marine, FSC and PGFC FADs . Loss of many FADs is common, however improvements in design and construction has reduced this over the years. The HYC FAD was reported as missing in February and the decision not to replace it was made. Unfortunately it did not have a satellite tracker attached but it was rediscovered later (See box).The All Marine Services FAD was sitting very low in the water late in the season and is believed to have sunk. All other FADs were recovered. A hesitant start on Wednesday 9th November resulted in the smooth deployment despite a large swell. The whole event took around 6½ hours dock to dock. WA Newspapers journalist Barry Wiseman joined the crew for an article in their boating column. Small tuna schools and flying fish north west of the island were an encouraging sign and close in to the north side of Rottnest we were joined by 20 or more humpback whales. Two of the FADs were recovered in mid May. For the first time since the “recoverable” FAD program began, the Club Marine FAD was still in position. In the past it has not been unusual to recover 2 sets of ground tackle when picking up a FAD, this gear is left on the bottom when the float separates from it for whatever reason. In the case of the Club Marine FAD it has long been thought the reason for its loss (usually early in each season) had been ship strikes. As a resource for metropolitan anglers the FADs are second to none and this proved to be so again. Mahi mahi, southern bluefin and striped tuna and yellowtail kingfish were out in numbers early in the season. As the Leeuwin current warmed the waters, wahoo, and even rainbow runners showed up along with striped and blue marlin. This season’s recovery certainly turned up some suprises. First was the degree of barnacle encrustation, it was severe and extended to around 50 m depth, second was the depth to which fishing tackle had attached to the ropes and chain, extending to 200 m below the float. This is partially explained by the fact that strong currents could have stretched the 400 m of rope in 100 m of water to a very flat angle. Still, tackle at 50 m vertically has not been seen before. There must have been some high angler expectations with triple ganged hooks big enough to take a whole mullet and 16 ounce sinkers attached. The satellite trackers gave us 12 hourly snapshots of the FAD positions which correlated closely with the currents shown on the sea surface temperature plots. 32 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 As the main mooring rope was winched aboard, it was apparent that the weight was more than just the mooring gear. As the last 50 m or so were retrieved the lift became more complex with balls of rope and no less than 5 ropes heading down all with tension on them. After a herculean effort lasting 3 hours the inventory of gear recovered totalled 4 FAD anchor assemblies, each with 2 anchors and chain, and 3 large steel framed cray pots. From there to the PGFC FAD which was sitting very low in the water and had priority over others for recovery because it had temperature sensors and a satellite tracker attached. There were also some big mahi mahi swimming around it as we approached. Earlier in the season when the currents were particularly strong, the tracker had showed it had been to the maximum extent the mooring would allow. This was confirmed by a chain tangle where the top anchor had rotated around the second anchor maybe half a dozen times. The recovery of the remaining two FADs was quite straightforward. Using the newly built grappling hook and rig designed and made by John Webber it became a comparatively safe and easy exercise. The FAD program is dependent on the efforts of volunteers with 4 or 5 working bees held to prepare, deploy, recover, clean and refurbish the FADs. This year we had a lot of new faces and are grateful for their partcipation.

Unfortunately the All Marine Services FAD was lost, but good readings were obtained from the PGFC sensors. Thanks to Alan and Mark for giving us the opportunity to be part of the study. From Alan Pearce and Mark Rossbach at Fisheries WA. “Once again, many thanks for your collaboration with these temperature measurements. I am attaching a graph of the daily mean temperatures over the period the logger was in the water. As previously, the surface temperatures show the expected relatively small variability, with daily averaged temperatures varying between 20.7° and 24.4°C and fluctuations of at most a degree over a few days. By comparison, the seabed temperatures oscillated widely over 4° to 5°C within a few days; the minimum recorded was 15.5°C and the maximum 22.9°C. At times, the water column was almost isothermal (little temperature change between the surface and bottom, e.g. mid May) while on other occasions there was a high degree of stratification – temperature differentials between the surface and the seabed of almost 7°C at times. These changes were probably related to either short-term upwelling events along the shelf-break or else fluctuations in the depth of the thermocline along the outer continental shelf. We look forward to repeating the experiment over next summer if possible.” Daily mean temperatures from the FAD#3 (32° 00.00’S, 113° 13.5’E; water depth about 200 m) from November 2011 to May 2012.

They came from every direction and started smacking into the marlin lures, which was a sight to behold. I would estimate there were over 100 fish in the 6-10 kg range smashing every lure. We decided to have some fun on 2 kg and pinned about 10 fish in quick time. Amazingly there was a nice wahoo swimming in with the mahis wondering what all the fuss was about. We didn’t have a jig handy or a popper and the mahis were so hungry we literally couldn’t cast in any direction, or wind any faster to avoid hook ups and aerial antics on every retrieve. We soon tired of catching mahis and left a very hot bite in order to try and find a wahoo in the area. We didn’t have to wait very long. The 24 kg was smashed and 37 kg eaten by what I thought was a big mahi but as it approached the boat it was shaking its head, Joff called it for a wahoo. It was, but unfortunately it pulled free at the boat after being skull dragged in on 37 kg. You can see the teeth marks on the lure that didn’t get eaten, there were clearly some decent size fish in the area. We didn’t get another wahoo but obviously the area was holding some good fish. We ran a couple of deep divers to no avail. We decided from here to head to a spot where we encountered a good blue last year and almost on the mark the short corner was annihilated by a rampaging blue that grey hounded off into the distance at an alarming rate. By the time the spread was cleared we had less than 50 turns left on the 24 kg reel. We got back under control by getting down wind and proceeded to get the bow out of the line and make some good progress towards the fish. Joff and I have been having some spirited debates recently about taking some depth out of the barbs of hooks and ensuring they are well shaped to maximise penetration. I am comfortable taking a bit off the barbs but Joff has been taking them right back. This has proved very successful for hook-up results versus my method of taking a small bit of the hook barb and then honing the edges to a point (Pakula’s way). I am not sure if this was the ultimate reason for dropping the fish but after a fairly subdued fight the lure slipped out less than 40 metres from the boat to my disappointment. I was, as you can imagine, gutted as this was a fish in the 150 to 180 kg range and would have completed a wonderful day out. I guess you never know what happens but alongside is a photo of the hook that was used. My theory, and I’m sticking to it, is that the bill had gone in between the gape of the hook and it didn’t penetrate the bill. Who knows but some experienced guys might be able to shed some light on my theory from the picture. I run single hook rigs most of the time on the lure size I was running that day. Interestingly the smaller lures were certainly the pick this particular day and accounted for all fish. Purples and lumos featured heavily as the successful lures, as per usual. Amazingly as you will see from the top image, that the 150 kg snap had been totally bent out of shape. The lure was somewhat incredibly hooked into the 90° bend and had held through part of the fight under an immense load. Clearly the lesson here is to make sure you use extremely high load snaps or the wind on type even on 24 kg. With only 8 kg of drag at strike there is clearly enough force to spring these lighter (150 kg rated) clips open. I have now replaced all of mine with 300 kg super heavy snaps so this will not happen again. I hope that some of the info above will help in other members’ quests to find and land big fish off Perth. I would love to hear the thoughts of others on the above as I am certainly no authority on what is right or wrong but I love getting out there and finding the fish so the more I can discover the more success we should have.

and 17-18° inshore. The coming season has all the hallmarks to be another ripper and hopefully will start out with another early Spaniard run off Parkers!” Then in September Ben Weston aboard his boat “Caribbean” scored another great blue-eye trevalla at the trench Please see below my first blue-eye Trevalla aboard Caribbean. Taken late Saturday afternoon at the trench on squid. Had another couple on but both got eaten by a very large bronze whaler, which we also reeled up from 350m. Very good fun and hard fighting fish. STONE LOGIC PTY LTD TILING INSTALLATION SPECIALISTS CONTACT US MOBILEOFFICE- 0419 251 730 9403 6617 Using a combination of squid and blue mackerel baits and jigs the first drop saw Justin hooked up on a 25 kg+ bass grouper. This was soon followed by a couple of blue-eye trevalla that despite their sea sweep looking nature, fought all the way to the surface. Eventually the hot bite of blue-eye finished and was shortly followed by the green eyed sharks, a signal to move on. Visit our website The rewards of catching fish like these, although snapper are the only eligible game fish, are great and if nothing else creates an opportunity to have some fun when game fish are not cooperating. 40 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 www.stonelogic.com.au Note- If our supply range of stone does not suit, we also do installation only.

He or she shall then, if satisfied sign the Capture Certificate. (b) In the event of the Weigh-master being unable to attend, a Committee member shall act in his or her stead. (c) In the event of the Weigh-master or a Committee member being unable to attend, consideration will be given to a capture weighed by an Ordinary Member. 2 Capture Certificates (a) The Committee shall have printed and made available to members at reasonable cost, capture books containing Capture Certificates. (b) All Capture Certificates must be lodged with the Weighmaster within 21 days of date of capture of the fish, or before 30th September, whichever is earlier. (c) Any Capture Certificate received by the Weigh-master more than 21 days after the date of capture or after 30th September will be recognised only in extenuating circumstances at the discretion of the Committee. 3 Trophies All trophies for the Local Waters competition shall be fished in Western Australian waters. Local Waters are defined as those within 75 NM of Fremantle. In club competitions held from a base remote from Fremantle, for the purpose of the competition Local Waters are defined as those within 50 NM of the nominate remote base. 4 Scoring Formulae For Club Trophies (a) These rules apply to annual trophies and are independent of tournament and competition rules and trophies.

(c) All captures must be entered on an original numbered PGFC Capture Certificate and submitted to the Weighmaster within twenty-one days of capture or before the 30th September, whichever is earlier. (d) All tags must be on original tag cards and submitted within twenty-one days of capture or before the 30th September, whichever is earlier. (The line class, Competitor ID and Boat ID shall also be recorded on the card). (e) Only club members’ points will contribute to boat points. (f) Captures in tournaments where anglers or boats represent other clubs in competition against PGFC will not be recognized. (g) Any fish weighed must be in edible condition at the weigh station to be awarded points. (h) All captures must comply with the regulations of WA Fisheries. 5 Formula For Scoring Captures Eligible Species Fish weight x 100 = Points Scored Line class Note: All fish must be equal to or greater than the line class being used. Sharks must be equal to or greater than twice the line class being used. Billfish Fish weight x 150 = Points Scored Tags Tagged fish in local waters are scored as follows with points going towards both Champion Boat & Champion Angler. A fish is considered tagged when the tag is placed and the fish released.

Line Classes Local Waters Heaviest fish weighed in each line class in local waters Line Classes Outside Local Waters Heaviest fish weighed in each line class outside local waters Club Person Of The Year Non-committee member recognised for outstanding contribution to the Club during the course of the year. Notes (a) In the case of a tied score, the trophy or prize will be awarded on a count back. The first capture certificate or tag card to be received by the Weigh-master, resulting in the highest point score (or number of fish tagged), will be deemed the winner. (b) Fish caught in WAGFA ratified competitions other than PGFC events, and other than those disqualified in clause 2(f), will be eligible for club points provided they are submitted on PGFC capture forms. If tagged, a copy of the tag details with tag number, angler name, fish type and line class used must be sent to PGFC Weigh-master within 21 days of date of capture, or by 30th September whichever is earlier. (c) Club Person of the Year is selected by the President and can be any club member except an Honorary Special Member. The recipient may be given the award in more than one (including successive) year. (d) In respect to annual awards, the decision of the Committee is final, and no correspondence shall be entered into. 43 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU (f) Reel 1 Reels must comply with sporting ethics and customs. 2 Power-driven reels of any kind are prohibited. This includes motor, hydraulic or electrically driven reels and any device that gives the angler an unfair advantage. GFAA Rules and Equipment Regulations 3 Ratchet handle reels are prohibited. The following Angling Rules and Regulations have been formulated to promote ethical and sportsmanlike angling practices, to establish uniform regulations for the compilation of Australian Gamefish Records and to provide basic angling guidelines for use in fishing tournaments and any other group angling activity. The word ‘angling’ is defined as catching or attempting to catch fish with a rod, reel, line and hook as outlined in the GFAA Angling Rules and Equipment Regulations. However, there are some aspects of angling that cannot be controlled through rule-making. Angling rules cannot ensure an outstanding performance from each fish and Australian records cannot indicate the amount of difficulty in catching the fish. Captures in which the fish has not fought or has not had a chance to fight do not reflect credit on the angler, and only the angler can properly evaluate the degree of achievement in establishing the record. Only fish caught in accordance with GFAA Australian Angling Rules and within the intent of these rules will be considered for Australian records. Equipment Regulations (a) Line 1 Monofilament, multifilament and lead core multifilament lines may be used. For line classes, see Australian Record Requirements. 2 Wire lines are prohibited. (b) Line backing 1 Backing not attached to the fishing line is permissible with no restrictions as to size or material. Freshwater species: The double line on all classes of tackle shall not exceed 1.82m (6ft). The combined length of the double line and the leader shall not exceed 3.04m (10ft). (d) Leader The use of a leader is not required. If one is used, it must meet the following specifications: 1 The length of the leader is the overall length, including any lure, hook arrangement or other device, and is measured to the bend of the last hook.. The leader must be connected to the line with a snap, knot, splice, swivel or other device. Holding devices are prohibited. There are no regulations regarding the material or strength of the leader. Saltwater species: In all line classes up to and including 10kg (20lb) the leader shall be limited to 4.57m (15ft). The combined length of the double line and leader shall not exceed 6.1m (20ft). The leader on all classes of tackle over 10kg (20lb) shallbe limited to 9.14m (30ft). The combined length of the double line and leader shall be limited to 12.19m (40ft). Freshwater species: The leader on all classes of tackle shall be limited to 1.82m (6ft). The combined length of the double line and leader shall not exceed 3.04m (10ft). 4 Reels designed to be cranked with both hands at the same time are prohibited. (g) Hooks for fishing with natural bait 1 For live or deadbait fishing no more than two single hooks may be used. Both must be firmly imbedded in or securely attached to the bait. The eyes of the hooks must be no less than a hook’s length (the length of the largest hook used) apart and no more than 45.72cm (18in) apart. The only exception is that the point of one hook may be passed through the eye of the other hook. 2 The use of a dangling or swing hook is prohibited. Double and treble hooks are prohibited. 3 A two-hook rig for bottom fishing is acceptable if it consists of two single hooks on separate leaders or drops. Both hooks must be imbedded in the respective baits and separated sufficiently so that a fish caught on one hook cannot be foul-hooked by the other. 4 All record applications made for two-hook tackle must be accompanied by a photograph or sketch of the hook arrangement. 5 A lure may be used in conjunction with a natural bait, provided the hook satisfies the requirements of hooks for fishing with natural baits (g) & the lure touches the bait during normal fishing/trolling practices. The hook must NOT precede the bait/lure combo by more than the length of the hook. hook used) apart and no more than 30.48cm (12in) apart. The only exception is that the point of one hook may be passed through the eye of the other hook. The trailing hook may not extend more than a hook’s length beyond the skirt of the lure. A photograph or sketch showing the hook arrangement must accompany the record application. Clarification: If a hook is cut, then the length of the hook will be deemed to be to the cut – anything beyond the cut will be deemed as leader. See illustration 01. 2 Gang (double or treble) hooks are permitted when attached to plugs and other artificial lures that are specifically designed for this use. Gang hooks must be free-swinging and shall be limited to a maximum of three hooks (either single, double or treble, or a combination of any three). Bait may not be used with gang hooks. 3 Clarification: Assist hooks or other such single hooks that are attached to a lure with a lead constructed of monofilament, multifilament, wire or other such material must conform to the following: When using assist hooks on any artificial lure, other than a skirted lure, the lead cannot be more than 11/2 hook’s length and the bend of the hook must not be more than 4 inches (101mm), whichever is less from the closest point of attachment on the lure. Double and treble hooks may not be used as assist hooks. See Illustration 02. 4 A photograph or sketch of the plug or lure must be submitted with record applications. 5 A gang hook in the intent of this rule is a hook with two or more prongs (ie: multi-pointed hook, not to be confused with ganged hooks as per diagram in Rule G1). Illustration 01 2 If the fishing line is attached to the backing, the catch shall be classified under the heavier of the two lines. The backing may not exceed the 60kg (130lb) line class and must be of a type of line approved for use in these angling rules. (c) Double line The use of a double line is not required. If one is used, it must meet the following specifications: 1 A double line must consist of the actual line used to catch the fish. 2 Double lines are measured from the start of the knot, braid, roll or splice making the double to the furthermost end of the knot, splice, snap, swivel or other device used for securing the trace, leader, lure or hook to the double line. Saltwater species: In all line classes up to and including 10kg (20lb) the double line shall be limited to 4.57m (15ft). The combined length of the double line and leader shall not exceed 6.1m (20ft). The double line on all classes of tackle over 10kg (20lb) shall be limited to 9.14m (30ft). The combined length of the double line and leader shall not exceed 12.19m (40ft). 44 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 Illustration 02 (e) Rod 1 Rods must comply with sporting ethics and customs. Considerable latitude is allowed in the choice of rod, but rods giving the angler an unfair advantage will be disqualified. This rule is intended to eliminate the use of unconventional rods. 2 The rod tip must be a minimum of 101.6cm (40in) in length. The rod butt cannot exceed 68.58cm (27in) in length. These measurements must be made from a point directly beneath the centre of the reel. A curved butt is measured in a straight line. (Above measurements do not apply to surf-casting rods.) (h) Hooks and lures 1 When using an artificial lure with a skirt or trailing material, no more than two single hooks may be attached to the line, leader or trace. The hooks need not be attached separately. The eyes of the hook must be no less than an overall hook’s length (overall length of the largest (i) Other equipment 45 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU 1 Fighting chairs may not have any mechanical propelled devices that aid the angler in fighting a fish. 2 Gimbals must be free-swinging, which includes gimbals that swing in a vertical plane only. Any gimbal that allows the angler to reduce strain or to rest while fighting the fish is prohibited. 3 Gaffs and nets used to boat or land a fish must not exceed 2.44m (8ft) in overall length. (When fishing from a bridge, pier, or other high platform or structure, this length limitation does not apply.) In using a flying or detachable gaff, the rope may not exceed 9.14m (30ft). The gaff rope must be measured from the point where the rope is secured to the detachable head to the other end. Only the effective length will be considered. If a fixed head gaff is used, the same limitation shall apply and the gaff rope shall be measured from the same location on the gaff hook. Only a single hook is permitted on any gaff. Harpoon or lance attachments are prohibited. Tail ropes are limited to 9.14m (30ft). G Gaffs and Tail Ropes not been set with the reel out of gear. When retrieving a bait or lure the fish would be disqualified immediately if the rod is put back into the cover board or transferred to another person as the reel is in gear and the hook has been set. 2 If a rodholder is used and a fish takes the bait or lure, the angler must remove the rod from the holder as quickly as possible. 3 In the event of a multiple strike on separate lines being fished by a single angler, only the first fish fought will be considered for an Australian record. 4 If a double line is used, the intent of the regulations is that the fish is to be fought on the single line for most of the time that it takes to land the fish. 5 A harness may be attached to the reel or rod, but not to the fighting chair. The harness may be replaced or adjusted by a person other than the angler. 6 Use of a rod belt or waist gimbal is permitted. 7 When angling from a boat, once the leader is brought within the grasp of the mate, or the end of the leader is wound to the rod tip, more than one person is permitted to hold the leader. 8 One or more gaffers may be used in addition to persons holding the leader. The gaff handle must be in hand when the fish is gaffed. 9 The Angling Rules and Equipment Regulations shall apply until a fish is weighed. The Following Acts will Disqualify a Catch: 4 Floats are prohibited with the exception of any small flotation device attached to the line or leader for the sole purpose of regulating the depth of the bait. The flotation device must not in any way hamper the fighting ability of the fish. 5 Entangling devices (either with or without a hook) are prohibited and may not be used for any purpose, including baiting, hooking, fighting, or landing the fish. 6 Outriggers, downriggers and kites are permitted provided that the actual fishing line is attached to the snap or other release device, either directly or with some other material. The leader or double line may not be connected to the release mechanism, either directly or with the use of connecting device. 7 Any devices used in conjunction with a lure that could impede the fighting ability of the fish MUST be on a breakaway system. 8 A safety line may be attached to the rod provided that it does not in any way assist the angler in fighting the fish. Angling Rules 1 From the time a fish strikes or takes a bait or lure, the angler must hook, fight and land or boat the fish without the aid of any other person, except as provided for in these regulations. (CLARIFICATION to ANGLING RULE 1.) If the mate is letting out a bait or lure and the reel is in free spool, the rod can be put back in the cover board or handed to the angler. Under no circumstances can any drag be put on the reel. This situation is legal. The rationale is that the hook has 46 PERTH GAME FISHING CLUB - STRIKE 2013 1 Failure to comply with equipment or angling regulations. 2 The act of persons other than the angler touching any part of the rod, reel or line (including the double line), either bodily or with any device during the playing of the fish, or in giving any aid other than that allowed in the rules and regulations. If any obstacle to the passage of the line through the rod guides has to be removed from the line, then the obstacle (whether berley, floatline, rubber band or other material) shall be held and cut free. Under no circumstances should the line be held or touched by anyone other than the angler during this process. 3 Resting the rod in a rodholder, on the gunwale of the boat or any other object while playing the fish. 4 Handlining or using a handline or rope attached in any manner to the angler’s line or leader for the purpose of holding or lifting the fish. 5 Shooting, harpooning or lancing any fish (including sharks) at any stage of the catch. 6 Berleying with or using as bait the flesh, blood, skin or any other part of mammals other than hair or pork rind used in lures designed for trolling or casting. 7 Using a boat or device to beach or drive a fish into shallow water in order to deprive the fish of its normal ability to swim. 8 Changing the rod or reel while the fish is being played. 9 Splicing, removing or adding to the line while the fish is being played. 11 Catching a fish in a manner that the double line never leaves the rod tip. ie items 1, 2 & 3 of the acts that disqualify a Tag & Release. 12 Using a size or kind of bait that is illegal to possess. (iii) No fish can be released after measurement unless it is in a healthy and vigorous state. 14 If a fish escapes before gaffing or netting and is recaptured by any method other than as outlined in the angling rules. 2 The use of the ‘billfish only’ tag is MANDATORY to be eligible to win any GFAA Trophies and Awards. The Following Situations will Disqualify a Catch 1 Failure to comply with GFAA angling rules and equipment regulations or tournament tag and release rules. 13 Attaching the angler’s line or leader to part of the boat or other object for the purpose of holding or lifting the fish. 15 The act of any person touching any part of the leader when striking or hooking a fish. 1 When a rod breaks (while the fish is being played) in a manner that reduces the length of the tip below minimum dimensions or severely impairs its angling characteristics. 2 Mutilation to the fish, prior to landing or boating the catch, caused by sharks, other fish, mammals or propellers that remove or penetrate the flesh. (Injuries caused by leader or line, scratches, old healed scars or regeneration deformities are not considered to be disqualifying injuries.) Any mutilation of the fish must be shown in a photograph and fully explained in a separate report accompanying the record application. 3 When a fish is hooked or entangled on more than one line. Guidelines For Tag and Release (iv) The GFAA Measure & Release card is to be used to record species release information. The Following Acts Will Disqualify a Tag and Release: 2 Failure to comply with all other regulations that disqualify a capture. 3 Use of a gaff (other than release/jaw gaff for the purpose of tagging). GFAA Eligible Gamefish for Measure and Release Black jewfish, chinaman, kingfish – yellowtail (under 70cm), mulloway (under 60cm), queenfish (under 60cm), rainbow runner, salmon – Australian (under 40cm), salmon – threadfin, snapper (under 40cm), spangled emperor, tailor, trevally – big eye, giant, gold spot, golden and silver (under 60cm), barramundi, mangrove jack, trout – rainbow and brown. Note: Any specie that is larger than the minimum sizes noted above will not count in any Measure & Release competition. 1 All GFAA Angling Rules and Equipment Regulations apply until the fish is tagged. Guidelines For Measure and Release 3 The tagpole or holding device must be in the hand when the fish is tagged. 2 All GFAA Angling Rules & Equipment Regulation & Codes of Practice to apply until fish is caught, measured and released in a healthy and vigorous state. 2 Tagpoles must not exceed 4.57m (15ft) overall length. 4 One or more persons, in addition to the person holding the leader, may tag or assist in tagging the fish. 5 The tag needle must not protrude more than 50mm from the end of the tagpole or tag holding device, nor shall it exceed 5mm in diameter. 6 Billfish only tag: The tag needle must not protrude more than 76mm from the end of the tag pole or tag holding device, nor shall it exceed 8mm in diameter. 7 A fish is considered tagged and released when the tag is secured to the fish. Rules for Tag and Release and Measure and Release 1 (a) No tournament shall be approved by a State Association that awards points for free release for GFAA tag species. No Tag & Release points shall be awarded in State Association-approved tournaments unless GFAA-approved tags are used. (b) Measure & Release is allowed for species that have been determined by the GFAA from time to time – see section titled GFAA eligible gamefish for Measure & Release and section Guidelines for Measure & Release. 1 Only gamefish species as listed for Measure & Release are to be considered by this guideline. 3 The use of knotless, rubber-coated nets or similarly designed nets that minimise slime and scale removal are to be used – the use of gaffs (other than release/jaw gaff) is prohibited. 4 The fish is to be measured using an approved or recognised measuring mat. Measurements between centimetre increments shall be measured at the lower of the two increments; ie 45-46cm will be recorded as 45cm. 5 Once measured, the fish is to be returned to the water as quickly as possible, and supported until it is able to swim away in a healthy and vigorous state. If the fish dies during this process, it is the skipper and angler’s responsibility to disqualify the catch. 6 All measurements and data must be recorded on an approved GFAA Measure & Release card that is to be returned to the angler’s club for processing. 7 Fish caught and released under these guidelines may be eligible for club or state points. (Check with your club or state for this.) Note: (i) All GFAA Angling & Equipment regulations shall apply. (ii) All applicable Tag & Release rules shall apply – 10 Intentionally foul-hooking a fish. 47 WWW.PGFC.COM.AU Tagging GFAA recognised gamefish species - Capture Tags are supplied to members on a return replacement basis.
