you need gelli to fish properly.lol
There is absolutely no substitute for expanding bait..........
I used to like fishing.....till I moved the country NSW.......now it's all 'Murrumbidgee Mud Sharks" and "Redfin" with the occaisonal Trout or maybe even a Murray Cod or yellow belly if I'm lucky.
Most of these can be caught on what I used to call a "Whiting outfit"......
No kickass Snapper, Jew Fish, shark, or even a half decent tasting Flat Head.....
Freshwater fishing sucks....
Oh, and before anyone says "you obviously didn't try real hard" Well I've got over $1000.00 worth of freshwater lures, rods, reels, waders etc etc sitting in the shed catching nothing but dust.......plus 4 seasons of wading up and down the creeks and rivers round the area.....the most exciting thing I caught was a very nearly legal Murray Cod.....
