I mean its no real secret and often see kids catching their first fish there Steve
Merry Christmas to you and all you sail with.
At days end, I'm determined to have every publicly accessible sweetwater location in Australia on here, so that others can learn more about our great country, especially the up & coming kids who want to go catch a bass, cod, barra, yellowbelly, sooty etc etc....Cheers,fitzy..
Has someone mentioned your little place of paradise?
G'Day Tony, I've been blessed with kind people over the years showing me many out-of-the-way spots, without that charity I'd be much poorer off; many thanks to them. In fact I was shown a nice spot yesterday on a map & found it today & will be sharing the info with everyone.fitzy..
Why do people put up reports at all? Seriously - is there something deep down in a fisho that makes us want to share our catch, prove our piscartorial prowess to our peers? Some of the best fishos I know, or know of, dont ever report - they dont need the "nice ones"and "well done". Conundrum right there.....This popped up not so long a go elsewhere, specifically naming locations, and that location being pillaged by, in this instance, professional netters.Its a common belief that there are a lot of people, anglers, danglers, shamatures, and professionals, that troll forums speciffically looking at reports .... I often wonder at the numbers of guests logged on at any one time... Its not just fishing forums, bragging on social media sites (AKA Face Book), is also rich pickings for the lazy, the greedy and the hungry - Ive seen it first hand a couple of time recently.Personally, I will turn off from a net report or forum post if the pictures posted have the background blacked out, I find that so annoying/insulting, I couldnt be bothered reading or taking in the thread, no matter how good the fish or fishing session.I enjoy reports with pictures that show fish and background, the general area fished, and the general technique used, I dont need to know the ins and outs of a cats bum, I do appreciate those who go into finite detail including where and how they fished, but it doesnt mean I will head off to plunder their spot tomorrow morning, it just inspires me to find my own spots.In saying that, one day Im going to fish Heart attack Hill, and try a pie....In the end, I am convinced there are no secret spots, my, your, every ones honey hole has been, or is being, fished by Mr John Smith, he can use Google earth, has the gumption to explore, and is keen enough to have a crack at remote water.Other words ol mate, its the way of the world, if you dont like it, you dont report your trips on the netMerry Christmas to youBrian
Lol. No they didn’t actually…. I normally hang on the AustBass forum but like to pop over here every now and then to see what’s going on. I just couldn’t get my head around how people tell people exactly how to get to spots..
