The kid has been asking for fishing for a long time and I feel the garfish might be great for him to have a bit of fun. I haven't been there for a while so not sure what's going around there.

Re: Why loads of Garfish down there but no bites?

Could be your bait as well some days they only take maggots. Hi mate, that might be the one reason too, another guy told me the same thing yesterday. I just wondering where to get these maggots. where can I buy it? I would rather not leave a piece of meat out there to flies, which may be a bit disg...
