G'day Everyone,
I'm looking for an old sea dog to adopt me for a couple of sessions and show me where I'm going wrong. I haven't been fishing since I was a pup, but I just recently inherited a bunch of my Granddads fishing rods and wanted to give it a go. He's in his mid nineties now and dealing with dementia, so I'd like to show him a picture of me with a fish to put a smile on his face. I'd also love to be able to catch the occasional fish or squid to eat : )
Being in Bellevue Hill, I figure I've got some options in the Harbour and possibly off the rocks on the coast when I get a little more confident. I'm a complete novice and am starting to get the picture that I won't be figuring this out from reading and watching youtube videos. I need an experienced hand.
I hear there's flathead to be had in Rose Bay (amongst other things) and that they're a good fish to target if you're learning.
Also I'd love to have a crack at getting some squid.
I've been out a handful of times myself trying with bait and SP's without any luck (obviously).
Anyone up for it? I've got a car, so can travel further afield if necessary. I also work shifts, so can usually get away on a weekday or a Sunday.
This coming Sunday morning would be great. Weather's looking good.
Niall
