G`day Fellas ,

Hazzard is a supremley apt title for the area you intend to fish DJ.

You don`t say if you are a beginner or have experience at RF`ing , so if you are inexperienced , stay away from Ben Buckler untill you have gained some experience .

Grab a buddy who is an experienced rockfisher and get him to show you the ropes .

If you have the skills to fish the area , then Just about anything can be taken from BB in Season.

One trick I learnt yonks ago , was to hack the crusts of a 1/2 loaf of Bread , and cut into strips 3 to 4 cms long , and as wide and thick as your thumb.

Add a small split shot to a 9LB line about 50 cms away from a 2/0 suicide hook .

There is is a sort of horseshoe bend back from the southern side of BB , and if you flop the line holding the bread into the wash there , most times you will grab som verry nice bream , and the odd big pig.

Tailor ,Salmon, macks, Kingies,bream , trevally,groper, Blackfish , drummer , sweep, and Rock cod are all on the menu as well.

Target your species , and fish safely .
