Gday

Well im pretty new to the whole fishing thing and well as the name says i cant even catch a cold haha. I live in eaton and have tried the collie river with different rigs baits and different times and come up with nothing or blowies. Went out last night to buffalo and caught a couple of small whiting on my river rod that i used for bait on my beach rod and managed to bring in a 32 cm tailor was happy with that but well im really looking to improve my fishing was just wondering if there was anyone who could give me a couple of tips about how to pick a good spot to fish, how to cast further into the surf and what kind of times i should be heading out. What i really want to catch is a black bream just to prove to everyone something other than blowies exists in the collie river haha! Thanks in advance for any tips!

hi mate as a ex bumburyite fishing is a little hard at first,many years of fishing the collie river it was just before i left i started catching afue fish, it was all in the bait is was using ,started using fresh mullet and my catch rate went thru the roof ,summer time i would fish up the river around the trffic bridge and this time of the year i was fishing between the scout hall and the bowling club, how is that for a start there is alought of good fishing there you just have to fish around a little
