G'day all,
Recently moved to the NSW Northern Rivers region after a decade living in the Barossa.
A bit of a kook when it comes to saltwater fishing but grew up in NZ and have fly fished there for the past 30 years and get back home to fish at least 3 times a year in the South Island.
Decided try the salt water after a 20 year absence yesterday in Ballina throwing some SP's (2.5" Slim Swimz in greasy prawn) in North Creek an hour either side of low tide..... five flatties made the sandbank... four under size and one about 40cm which went back to fight another day.
So yeah.... now I'm hooked again
Any recommendations for land-based fishing around Ballina gratefully received and if there are any locals on here I hope to catch up for a fish/beer at some stage.
Cheers
