Fishing/ Spearing trip round oz on a pushy
Hey guys,
New to the forum but browsing through some of the threads it looks like there is an abundance of valuable information and knowledge to tap into and thought it would be a crime not to post my proposed adventure up here. By the looks of things im not the first to do such a trip as i came across a thread similar to this on here.
I plan to circumnavigate Australia on my bicycle, fishing and spearing the coastline where i can, looking for work along the way to top up supplies enough for the essentials. I start next week (9th March 2012), leaving Byron Bay and heading north. It will be great to meet other keen fisho's along the way, so please dont hesitate if you have the time to get in touch. As you know good fishing opportunities can be hard to find when you are away from your own special spots.
ive been fishing since before i can remember and was lucky enough to grow up on a boat with my old man, fishing most of the east coast. Over the last 5 years i havnt had access to a boat and have become quiet the keen rockhopper around my local headland, Cape Byron. If anyone has any advice, work, or are willing to put up with me for a days fishing i would be extremely grateful.
well, cheers for now and will be great to hear from you.

Yep there's alot of people who have done such a adventure. Welcome aboard. Time it right and you could get a lot of work fruit picking time it with the influx of backpackers could be in for some great times. Good luck
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

a great experience -
not that I'll ever know :) but it was great reading FW member Worldfisher's adventures doing the same thing. Seems you may have already read them, he has a great blog too that'll inspire you.
