Hi Guys and Girls! My name is Michael, and am a 41 year old tragic fisherman, living in Strathfield. I am married, with 2 kids, however, they are over in the Philippines, awaiting Visa's. Only recently back into the sport in Australia, having been working overseas in Abu Dhabi & Qatar. I used to go out into the Gulf there, mainly trolling and jigging, and then graduated to kayak fishing.Since the family are away, I have a fair amount of spare time on the weekends, so I thought I might use it fishing, as you do....... I decided to buy myself a decent rig to last, so went out and purchased a G Loomis rod (2-4kg), and a Daiwa Sol 2500, which I think, shall do me fine for bream, flathead, and the odd snapper. Of the few dramas I face, is being able to fish in spots where I can get public transport to, as I have yet to get a car. I plan to try out Cabarita on the weekend, as a bus goes straight past my place, and stops near the wharf. Obviously, I plan to add a car to the fold, closely followed by a Kayak! Love to hear from anyone in the general area that would like a fishing partner. More than happy to share costs, etc. Always find fishing is more pleasurable when there is some company. Mainly when I fish from the shore, I flick lures about for bream and flatheads. When I was more into fishing before, I only used hardbody lures, but now am fascinated with the soft body developments, having mixed success with them in the Middle East. Mick
