Mon, 2011-11-07 18:49

JIGGING, both sambos/ambers and demersal
such an addiction, so many jigs and so man jigs lost to being smoked
such a rewarding feeling catching fish on jigs

Mon, 2011-11-07 19:08

I guess Bream fishing but that could be because I live so close to the upper section river. I spend my fair share of time & money chasing Mulloway, Snapper, Whiting, Sharks, Flathead, Crabs, Squid, Trout, Redfin etc though. I think I'm like most people on here, if it swims, I'll spend time & money trying to catch it.

Mon, 2011-11-07 23:00

Have not done alot. Probably sifting through whiting only to find that big fat sucker you have been waiting for. And i think getting a massive bite in 15m of water and deeper, and having your rod double over is an addiction for anyone! Just being out there with a rod in the water, laying on the couches on my uncles boat on a flat day. Amazing.

Untill a great white bites your boat, sinks it, takes you legs, torso, head....and ya dead.

Mine is any type of fishing , wether it be kaying and breaming on the river, or out 20 miles for dhuies etc. It just relaxing being on the water and ifyou catch something great, no better feeling then hooking a fishin and not kno exactly what it is until you see that silvery glimmer ah i love it.  I love buyin new fishing gear whatever it is , grant you as a uni student im limited , but if I had 10,g to spend on rods reels lures hooks etc it would be gone pretty quick. ha

mine would have to be big fish chasing!

Marlin and big Yellow fin, to sambos out the back are some that ive conquered now, and just had a small and very very harsh reality check when it comes to GTS in exxy. Nothing compares to hooking a steam train, though i love light tackle small game stuff as well.....anything that really makes that drag go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Tue, 2011-11-08 19:43

anything that involves getting on the water in my boat.  i've been on boats since i was nine.  mainly yachts but in later years power boats.  i just love being on my boat, even in the driveway sipping a red!!!  bottom bouncing for a big dhuie, baldie, snapper of cod, or trolling for a big spainard off steep point!

Rock fishing. Prefer cliffs like steep point. Alot more rewarding landing a big fish from the stones then a boat

High speed light tackle spinning

Thu, 2011-11-10 17:13

especially for Tuna. Nothing like chucking a slice into a boil and hooking into a mack tuna etc with bream type gear (maybe big bream gear). Seeing the line disappear and hoping not to get spooled just buzz me.

Otherwise the salt water wand wafting but again I think it is all because of the bend in the rod you can get with a fly rod.

Gotta be Barra fishing. Never

Thu, 2011-11-10 21:03

Gotta be Barra fishing. Never thought Id get hooked onto river/ck fishing coming from Perth chasing Dhu's etc but damn it awesome when you hook a fired up barra in shallow water on a little baitcaster and it starts exploding out of the water and gunning for every  snag close by... such a good buzz...

Trolling for barra! Nothing

Sun, 2011-11-13 04:35

Trolling for barra!

Nothing more addictive than the hit from a solid barra! Better than any drug u can take, smoke or inject! Budget for barra fishing is unlimited for me, if i want something ill go by it :)

eg: i just ordered 100 new custom colour barra lures in one go!

Cod

Mon, 2011-11-14 08:07

 It must be Cod for me, especially big ones; so damn smart fish, it cam take your bait/hook and sit in a reef for hours. Unless you're patient, you'll never get it out. Use to fish them in the red sea, using heavy gear and monster hand lines.
