Hilltop hops Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Must be some anglers on this forum. I love it but don't get out enough due to work etc. Recently visited Yorkes and got squid, crabs and an eagle ray. Good fun on 5kg gear, 30 min fight and release. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Love my fishing too HH. And also, do not get out into the sport enough. Usually due to wind, weather or tides or the sheet fight at the local overcrowded boat ramps to launch and retrieve. I have two boats, one a 14 Jabiru tinny with 15 HP Honda 4-stroke on the back. Use this one for freshwater fishing in amongst the snags and dead trees. Used bait, lure and fly at many stunning fishing spots around VIC and NSW. Boat #2 is a 5 metre Streaker Navigator half cab with a 70 HP 4-stroke Yamaha on the back. Used for sea and bay fishing in Westernport and Port Philip for squid, king George whiting, gummy shark and snapper. Have also used it for chasing big Murray Cod up in lake Eildon.

Pale Man Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 You've started a thing here now. Fishing is my passion. Along with brewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick search thinking I could resurrect a previous topic but couldn't find much. Recent holiday has me thinking I need to get out more. Can't wait until the snapper ban ends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a feed of crabs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop hops Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Haven't hooked a decent fish for years, was fun with the ray trying to spool me. Have caught some big snapper, bronze whaler and a blue fin in the past. I'll try to find some old photos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 World's worst fisherman here. I can't even buy decent fish let alone catch it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Micky Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I'm a boring fresh water fishing bloke - I know it ain't the same as the big pond, but I get a feed just the same. Love the gums and a river - BBQ and a cuppla beers. Lifes good. Do quite a bit of fishing in the upper Muzza River in Vic. Yella Belly and a few decent Murray cod. Got a little spot about 2 hours outta Melbourne where I can get a haul of redfin as well. Redfin taste just beautiful but ya gotta get a decent size to get a decent feed. Fished years ago up North off Magnetic Island somewhere - out past the reef - got a whole heap of Coral trout and Red Emperor. Took back to the Island and some bloke cooked them on the BBQ, just outstanding. Never had anything like it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back Brewing Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I don't fish anymore after I learnt that fish only feed twice a day just before you get there and straight after you leave 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBillett09 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I also do enjoy casting a line in although with a toddler under 2 and a wife expecting the second it’s been a long time since the last fish I caught! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But instead of throwing skis and ropes into the water I throw baits on hooks with lines. Gets' em every time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
