OK, so first post, will try not to look too clueless......
Should have my first boat within a day or 2, and keen to get fishing on Moreton Bay.
The advice isn't about boat selection (I have my mate onto it, he knows boats). But it will be a decent half cabin, capable of Moreton Bay, and when I have more of a clue, some offshore....
Basically I am after some advice on starter fishing gear. I have some random rods bought over the years for fishing in the rivers and from mates tinnies, but I have no idea what you need for the big stuff in the bay.
Never caught anything over about a foot, so there you go. Love fishing, love eating fish and keen to have a go at something bigger.
Anyone have some ideas about some starter gear to get into the bay with the family and catch some fish? I know different types of fish require different setups, but what do you guys think would be a good place to start, something to build upon?
Rods? Line? Tackle?
Pretty ambiguous question I am afraid, but to be honest I have no idea where to start, did some reading and it seems pretty complicated, and so many different opinions. If I can get a couple decent rods, selection of tackle and line, then I can figure out what works and go from there. Don't want to go buying the wrong stuff.
Cheers
