Hi there active anglers!!
It has been a little while since I last posted here - hope everyone got some fantastic summer fishing in
Well this is pretty ironic - but even though I have been on holidays for almost 5 weeks now - I have not been out fishing once This is not good enough! LOL!
Anyway, a mate came up from Brisbane (one who is always keen to go fishing) so I dragged him out to the Maroochy river for some fishing. The funny thing was - I caught not ONE THING that day! Sam had my crappy Shimano rod and reel combo and boy - he was reeling them in!! He was catching Bream - despite the scumminess of the water from all the recent rain we have been having. The runoff has made the water a lovely chocolate brown! He also caught a little cod.
I on the other hand - had my $200+ Penn rod and reel combo and I was not catching a thing I dont get it at all!!
Look - at the end of the day it is not about the catch quantity for me. I do love to reel them in - but I am more than happy to sit on a river bank or beach and meditate for a couple of hours if nothing is nibbling.
By the way - if you are going fishing on the Maroochy River - prawn bait is working a treat for me at the moment!
Seeya! Nic
