First time out beach/rock fishing in over 10yrs .......new rod,reel ect and time to give it a try so off i headed down to Boaties Bay........couple of practise casts( and a big birds nest haha ) on the cleaner ground of the beach then i clambered over to the rock edges , set up and dropped a bait just over the kelp ..........that and several more casts resulted in lost gear :-)
Had 1 solitary bite which almost pulled the rod off the rest ....good fish on then snagged and lost ......not another bite for 2 hrs so moved round to fish the cleaner ground during the flood ...............nothing,not a touch :-( Went home having blanked but still its nice to be out fishing again :-)
Lessons learned :-
Must find a better method of rigging rotten bottoms !
Never try and walk a mile in neoprene chesties ever again :-)
