Local Hero's
Submitted by Bart-Man on Thu, 2008-12-18 07:47
When i grew up we chased flathead and bream around the rivers and esturies all day.
There was an old italian guy "Franko" always was where the fish were ALWAYS.
I remeber he had time to talk to us a share his knowledge and even bait every now and then.
Times have changed now but he was our local Hero.

A legendary rock fisherman and friend on the north coast of NSW who was happy to go out of his way to show me a lot about rock fishing.

Bob's father
5 kids all brought up to fish for the future, only catch what you need to eat. Good burly maker, good all round fisherman, good advice Bob still uses today. He was a very wise man but never went deep, just loved to potter around Mandurah, Horicks Beach and Port Gregory.

"Got to give it to em"
Those people that try somthing new, may not work this time but that's how we learn
or we would all have the same gear at the same spots doing the same thing at the same time.
GOOD ON THEM "HAVE A GO"
