Me and the missus are getting into fishing, just picked up two $25 rods from Rebel (I can feel the fish quaking in their fins at the prospect of me fishing :D ) and don't really know of any decent spots to go. We have fished in Botany Bay but all I caught was a fish about 5 inches long which was swimming close to the pier.
I live in Caringbah and am more then happy to drive for an hour to get to a nice spot and I don't particularly want to have yet another fruitless fishing expedition so tips/pointers would be MUCH appreciated.
I know how secretive some of you fishermen are with your spots, so maybe you could just PM one to me? I will probably go once a month at the most, so I won't hog all your fish :) .
The spot I would like to fish is probably into a river (salt/fresh, doesn't matter), by standing on the bank. I am not a fan of fishing on rocks or on the sand into the waves, plus the rod I have probably couldn't handle anything other then fishing into a lake/river.
I am also happy to drive to a nice location (a big lake somewhere maybe?) but I don't really know what stuff to take, although the fishing rod I bought came with sinkers, floaters, hooks, ?swivels?, lures etc.
Thanks for your help!
