Go on... take the Bait!

fishing is the most popular sport via representation in australia, held basically wherever water is available. Some anglers prefer putting their skills against the tiny garfish, while others feel the need to drop in bait in hope of a one tonne shark.

however in my case, fishing is for two reasons, a nice feed of fresh fish, hooked by myself and the recreational attributes associated with being in the company of mates with the same interest. my personal fishing desires are waiting for a blackfish to take my bait or a nice size freshwater crayfish to saunter into my drop net.

fishing is a challenge associated with the unknown. whenever we go fishing we do not know what we may hook, but there is always the hope of the 'monster' one dreams about. the 'monster' being the fish we weigh in for the trophy in the local angling club we belong to.

i was the inaugural secretary of the longwarry angling club in its reformation and I had the pleasure of writing up the fish weighed in by the members. unfortunately my own name seemed to be always represented in the lower half of the different specie lists, but like I said previously, fishing, well I can only speak for myself, is a recreational hobby for me, especially river fishing up in the great dividing range. there is so much to see along these rivers, and so much to write about. there are thousands of stories not told in this book, although I do hope you do enjoy my experiences and maybe you can relate to a few of them as well.

So

go on... take the bait!
