Good memories, I’m talking late 50s, early 60s.
Fishing is like a game of chess, just throwing bait and hook into the water and waiting to catch a fish, can be boring. It's about finding locations,weather to anchor or drift, fish light or heavy, J hooks, or circle hooks? What baits, prawns, mullet squid etc, Lure fishing, plastics ,different colours, sizes and weights, line classes etc. It's the challenge that makes fishing great, open your horizons and experiment, then when you catch a trophy fish, it is so much better.
It's a sad, sad day when a man has to get rid of his fishing gear.
When I was a young bloke we would have two weeks in May fishing the breakwall at Urunga, just south of Coffs Harbour. Did this for years.
Whilst not a fisherman myself, have heard some crusty old anglers swear by it !
Have used bread on Drummer down the nsw south coast. Burley up with bread and mould it onto the hook. No sinker, just let it float around in the wash and hang on.
No.
to me its all about good company,or quality(dare i say it)zen time.As soon as i stop thinking about catching a fish ,it just happens
good idea to chook feed wheat seed over an area,bay,for a few days before hand
were on The Hawkesbury did you catch the flatties last week ,shore based or boat ?
On my brother in laws boat
you fish upper or lower river,just curious,not stalking ,promise,bloody beautiful The Hawksbury.inbeetween is the best.fishing has bounced back ok the last month after the flood waters cleared
Yeah same. I am pretty mad keen, but I use it for me time.
I used to use bread a lot in estuaries mate. I mixed it with a small amount of tuna oil to mould it around the hook. Cheap bait 👍
Jigging.
HANG ON
