newjez Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Beach fishing I've done involves a big beach rod (12 foot plus) with a strong line. You need to get it out past the breakers in many places, so the bigger the better. Usually use mullies. River fishing I usually go for tailor with a mid sized river rod (6 - 9 foot) small gang using white bait. Or you can use a single hook and use squid for flathead or flounder. I'm not that technical - I just like to catch the fish with minimum expense. Crab nets are good too on the river. I've never done fly - but I have heard there are trout down south west.

Bobj Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 G'day mate, suggest that you have a squiz at this site to help you. http://www.westernangler.com.au/forum Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Jon brought all his gear over with him - but be warned he spent a LOT of time with the jeyes fluid And it definitely got inspected by customs - and got through. Have checked with him who thinks fishing is fun - Jon says that fishing here is generally much more lure based (spinning etc), particularly inland. The sea fishing he says is more similar to UK style than the inland stuff is. (Hope that makes sense!) Oh and he says that river fishing here isn't coarse fishing - it's more river based game fishing. (I have no idea what that means, so I hope it makes sense !) He does say to definitely bring it - you'll never know what's useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukchris Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Cheers for that Bobj, not having done much (any) sea fishing before though and that being my intended hunting ground I think I may leave the old course fishing tacke box at home and start a fresh when I arrive, nice site though maybe just maybe I might find a fishing buddy so I can leave out lass sunbathing or whatever women do. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
