Buddy Needed

[Sniggy]

Hi All
Looks like I'll will be joining you all in the near future..........:o

Me & the family will be moving into the Brisbane area from the uk, I could do with a buddy to exchange emails re fishing.

I'm abit of a allrounder enjoying fly, coarse and sea fishing, so maybe alittle advice on bringing any uk gear over would help aswell...

Thanks

Steve

:D :D ;D ::)

:D Welcome, Welcome,;)

Don't worry you are in truly good hands!

I was in the same position and have now been living in brisbane for about 4 week and the people of ausfish really help getting to know the fishing hear and its great to have a place like this where people like to share so freely info, and what's hot and what's not!!

what suburb you moving to??

Don't worry about your gear it will transfer with out any problems, you may need to change terminal tackle slightly as there toothy critters here, and maybe line but mostly the same. I did'nt bring any gear with me and have been able to build it back up cheaply with out any problems.

Where are you in the uk?

tight lines

G'day mate, You love it here, the fishings great and the poeple are to. (wekk I thinks we are) when you get here we could organise a little G&M so you can meet a few new freinds, I'm sure you'll find that there will be no shortage of poeple to fish with and to show you around.

Cheers Grant.

Gees your lucky your one of that mob Kev.
Anybody else would be up for saying things like that :P

A pommy M&G. Wouldn't that be different. I can just picture it. Nice sunny spring day (Can't wait for some heat. I'm freezing my gonads off :P) and people rocking up for a chinwag, some barbied (aussie for burnt) snags and steak and a quite ale or 70 and the bloody beer would be warm????? :'(
Actually that's probably a good way to meet some people and to get local knowledge...have a BBQ when you get here and settled down a tad.Anyways i wouldn't be too concerned about knowing everything about fishing before you come Sniggy. Plenty of time to learn when you get here and settled down.
I've been here for 40 odd years (since I come out mum's guts) and been fishing for about the same time in roughly the same places (about 300km in any direct from where I was born) and I still know stuff all about fishing here but I have a hell of a lot of fun trying ;D

:) Welcome Sniggy. Most of your gear should be ok. Even fly gear, salmon gear would be great for bay tuna etc, and I occasionally use a 4wt for flathead, bream, whitting etc. We even have trout about 4 hrs from Brisbane.(fresh water) Or as my mate calls them "Spotted mountain carp".
Once you arrive and settle I'm sure ausfish blokes will help to get aclimatised to the fishing scene. Probably the cricket as well;D
