Ah, the memories. Trying to fish with a cungy bait in close, every.single.cast. in some places. And so many gut hooked. That was my boyhood on the NSW rocks, now I'm in WA and we don't have them. 😊
I will never get that mindset of any fish being annoying. In Britain we get a fish called dogfish, and people hate catching them, but I love catching anything, I can go on many trips in a row with no bites so I'll take any fish I can get 😉
The joys of checking small baits off the rocks south of Port Lincoln. Looking for sweep, catching wrasse and zebras. Until the day the 15lb snapper turned up off the point on the south side of Memory Cove.
@666Havers And that snapper was on a solid glass Jarvis Walker Clarence, a light 7ft rod matched with a 4" side cast and 12lb line. I'd bought that when I was about ten years old, and it left with me on my travels around Australia, in 1975. It had probably caught fish in every state before it was relegated.
