Gday Aushfishos,
Have been reading these chat forums for a couple of months now, and although i have fished since i was about 5, since reading these chat boards my enthusiasm has increased infinately, and there hasnt been a week i havent been fishing since i started reading this site. I can also say that my fishing knowledge has increased dramatically just from reading what you guys have to say.
Have been a bait fisherman all my life, mailny fishing estruary and river systems around the Gold Coast, and occassionaly venture out to palm beach reef with me mates chasing mackeral and taylor a couple of times a year. Still chasing the elusive jew, and angry mangrove jack, have caught a small jack but am waiting for a bigger one. My profile photo is a nice trevalli i caught at the end of last year on a live mullet in some aweful weather, it went 55cm and had my pen powerstick earning its money. It would have to be the best fish ive caught inside. Recently been fishing the beaches around palmy with some good results, been fishing light cause there havent been many tailor about, and have produced some great bream and whiting, and my biggest ever flathead, went just over 3kg. Also like to head to the pin a couple of times a year when the mates get the boat out, usually spend a couple of days at a time there camping.
Soft plastics dont know whether to love em or hate em ???, ive gotten really excited about them from what i have read and seen, spent about $50 on the things and about 6hrs fishing last weekend, a few hits no hookups, but im going to continue trying, they look good in the water and im sure i just lack a bit of technique at the moment :P, im a total newbie to it have only ever fished bait. Im about to head out know and throw some under the highway bridge in the pine river for a couple of hours before picking up the missus from work, im enjoying a Brisbane public holiday today, sorry to those that arent.
Yeah anyways dont think all my posts will be a short story like this one, but im glad that i have finally registered on this terrific web site. Look forward to sending many, and hopefully being able to provide some advice at some stage like the ever valuable tips ive read on this site.
Cheers
Ben
