Hey thanks to all for sharing your fishing history in here. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts. Fishing is very addictive and contageous I think and is a bug that stays with you for life once you have caught it.

Totally agree Poodroo. I have had a couple of times in my liofe where I have been to ill to venture outside at all and you do miss your fishing. Usually one of the first things I did was wet a line.Originally Posted by Poodroo

I GOT THE BUG WHEN I WAS A KID AS WELL FISHING IN FRESH WATER CATCHING MULLET CARP AND EELS IT WAS GREAT FUN SO IT STARTED THERE THEN WENT TWO LAND BASE SALT AND THEN LAND BASE SALT WATER GAME FISHING THE WHOLE FAMILY GOT HOOKED SO ITS IN THE BLOOD SO TWO SPEEK THEN I GOT MY FIRST BOAT AND KNOW I CANT GET ENOUGH
i didn't come from a fishing family but i have the bug.
when the kids were very small we would go to paradise
point when there was nothing there, and we would fish for whiting
then the other half took up golf so i took the kids fishing
as the son got older we would hire a boat at jacob's wells
thats changed too, and he would drive the boat everywhere
so when he turned 16 we bought him a boat he needed me for the car to take the boat fishing so i still got to go fishing. back in those days didn't realise we needed a boat license because i had a car license. he finally got a boat license when we got pulled up after we got out of the water for a license check he was probably 18 by then.
then he got a bigger boat so he could take us all out.
but now years later it a bigger boat again the bait has trned to sp and lures by the
hundreds and keeping fish to eat went to catch and release he rarely keeps a fish
he just loves going fishing .
occasinally he still takes me fishing because i enjoy it as well and i still don't have
a boat license so i can't go by myself.
it is just a great pastime when not working

Fishing is in my blood great grand father being geoge crouch and his brother being pros in the early days. It has been past down the line everone in the family is a keen fisherman or woman.
Hell even my mother can still keep up to me catching beach worms best time of my life was going over to the big old queenslander he built at amity on the beach can remember the can rods hanging in the hallway ready to go soon as we got there no electricity only kero lights old wood stove are! the smell of burning cypress going through the house. feeding the brumbies at the back stairs .
Big veranda at front looking out to moreton island house is still in the family to this day. Heres a pick of a cart that us kids got towed around the beach in. And to think there is not much beach there now.
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.
Fishingjew, that is a lot of memories to have there mate and you have classic photos as well.

My old man used to take me bream fishing at his spot X in the Burnett River in Bundaberg, and whiting fishing at Burrum Heads, but I hadn't really picked up a rod again until about 8 years ago. Now, not so much into estuary fishing, but love beach fishing and do the occasional offshore charter with the boys when we can. Then there's conquering the all mighty beach worm.
No better way than finding an empty stretch of sand and watching the world and forgetting the stresses. Love it. Failing that, living vicariously through others like yourselves.
Throw a few more old photos this one of wynnum the fishing boats

Half the family grew up on trursday Is (two pro fishermen), it was an uncle from the other side that introduced me to fishing, mackeral fishing. But it was the other (TI inhabitants) side that gave me my first cast net at age 5 and it has not stopped from there.
