Submitted by danno on Mon, 2011-11-07 18:37
Hey all.
This is just a post to see what everyones favourite style of fishing and what they spend there money on.
Most if not all of you know that i'm addicted to squidding and have alot of squidding stuff. I have around 60 jigs and 2 squidding outfits.
So what do you have? Be it bream, jigging, barra fishing, trolling any form whats your thing?

I guess Bream fishing but
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.

Have not done alot. Probably
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.
I love fishing. It`s escaping reality for a few hours for me!

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
living is fishing

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

High speed light tackle spinning
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
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
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!

feeling the rod load up on anything really
although seeing a diamond encrusted slab of gold that is a mulloway coming in through the shore break is high up there
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Cod
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.
