ive noticed a few stereotypes.
the drunk fisherman
usually hangs in packs of two.
good for a laugh.
always willing to hand you a few livies when he caught to many.
lose a fish around him and you will cop it.
the drunk boaty
move your stuff and move it quick there can be a 30 metre spot his coming to where you are regardless. (missus couldnt reel fast enough and nearly lost her rod)
he will be keen to fight and throw cans or bottles around.
usually seen unloading barely 'legal' catch.
the old fisherman
got some awesome storys.
always telling you if your doing something wrong or how to do it.
has a rather superb amount of hookups.
happy with a just few whiting for him and the wife.
the jealous fisherman
as you enter a spot regardless of distance from him , he will stare at you.
if you at the spot first he will proceed to try push you out of your spot by nudging closer.
catch something big he will ask 21 questions than cast where you were while your rebaiting.
the young d!ckhead
music will be pumping loud
8kg gear with 40lb+ mono big sinkers , wire trace size 1 hook with a small prawn for bait.
gets angry never catches anything.
may laugh at your light gear until you start catching stuff.
techinque is severly flawed a bite usually results in a race to reel in.
the father/husband fisherman
brings the kids down and missus and is slightly agitated at thes amount of snags they find.
rerigging gear fairly constant.
always keen to have a chat ask what your lucks been like, if any spots are producing tiny bream etc the kids can catch.
will add more soon , going fishing now and was just talking to a mate about it lol
feel free to add your own
