Now that's dedication, :thumbsup: .
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Na the other side isn't private property I walked it one day n it's almost 1hr walk from where I parked the side I fish is only 15min from the car buts it's a rough walk

I've ventured out of my local haunts a bit more this year.. all it's shown me is how great the fishing is in my own backyard haha!

Fished the ovens at bundalong last weekend for 12hrs not one fish casting/trolling all damn day.. plenty of wake boats up n down all bloody day

But great people
You know you want to.
