luderick -angler Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Heres some vintage fishing footage of real diehards at it from the 70's I think theres a few of us thta fit in here! Enjoy thisand you will learn a few things too and why rock hopping is dangerous these are narrated by one of the best fisherman ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 That brings back some memories - not so much of the fishing locations, although I have fished many of them - but of the man, Ron Cool Kat. When I wrote for Sporting Shooters and Guns Australia, I used to go to the Yaffa Offices to speak with my editor and invariably spent time at Ron's desk chatting away and giving him a break from his tasks. He was certainly a fishing guru and innovator of the fishing movie/series. One of my spots where I fish often these days, is near the Gulf in the RNP, but it is a lot safer. Good stuff.

marshie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks tons for posting this mate, watched it a hundred times on VHS before one day the player tore all the tape out of the cassette It's always so hard to explain to my mates who don't fish what rock fishing is really like - to them it's just 'standing on rocks fishing'. Great footage and surely had my heart in my mouth a few times with blokes in jeans battling backwash up to their knees! Cheers again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I can still hear that theme song in my head from yrs gone by and you know you are getting older when you recognise Ron's seascape 6-1 and you had one or two of these reels as well in the same condition. He was an inspirational man to me for as long as he lived. Regards Swordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
