New to forums just some pics and my story!
I'm 22 from Scotland. Started in australia as a backpacker 2 years ago. Now have a sponsorship on a fishing boat. If i'm not working i'm fishing. Mad fisho. Live in bremer bay now but i've been everywhere from melbourne to brisbane to cairns to darwin and the rest. Fished my way around OZ just a small few pics of some of the fish i've caught and some other pics on my travels hope you guys enjoy.
Sad thing i was traveling with a dutch guy for a few months and he was crazy about fishing too. but he lost his camera with all the pics of fish we had lost some awsome pics of big GT's from darwin and bara :(. Remember every fish here is caught from a jetty. Except the sailfish! Cheers and hope you like these pics. Alot of hours fishing into these. and alot more lost as you all know how jetty fishing goes!!
Alot of these pics are pretty bad photography but most taken with ipods mobile phones etc along with no knowledge of how to take a good picture haha but i know how to now :)
Story of the last picture with the rat. We put some bread in a bag and fishing line round the top lured him in and we caught him . Just messing around while waiting at the jetty. Spent many long fishless nights doing all nighters need to keep yourself occupied!
Cheers
Ben

Ray
Yeah mate rays are as common as dirt down here especially massive ones. Catch one in 20 mins almost guaranteed everytime every night at one of my spots. take all the backpacking deckies we get there and see what they are made of! That's just one pic of many have alot of vids too of me catching them. massive ones on handlines just for kicks :). We caught a spawn of turtles at mandurah in darwin and i scooped like 5 out of the water at the jetty just for pics. Don't know why the pic came out tiny... maybe i'll try edit it

NICE
Bremer Bay hey. I may of seen you at little boat harbour coming in at night if you work for one of those fishing boats. Spent many hours on the rockwalls around Bremer going for anything big with teeth. We got two Bronzies at the river mouth which was awesome. Bremer Bay is so nice, I might be going back early April. That or Cheynes. If you want to show me and a mate around and show us how too catch fish like you do so well I wouldn't say no :P. This time if we do go we will be trying Reef beach which we didn't get time too. Just saying :P

That would have been me on
That would have been me on one of the boats for sure! Sure mate will try my best drop me a line when you are heading there next and i'll try my best. Was down at the wharf tonight my mate on a shark boat was there and we saw a 8-9ft bronzie swimming at the wharf first time for everything i guess
