Post War Baby
Born in Sale Victoria in 1949
I lived in Stratford until 3
Moved to Swan hill
Bait and Lure fished Murray / Little Murray / Wakool Edwards / Merrin Creek with great success
Moved to Melbourne - Introduces to Salt Water fishing - Loved it
Also fished Upper Yarra / Upper Goulburn / Stephenson / Acheron - Mainly bait
1907 - Introduced to Fly Fishing and Lake Eucumbene - Fell in love with both - Taught how to tie my own Flies and eventually Built my own Fly Rods - Have visited and fished Eucumbene 60+ time in the past and have a trip planned for later this year.
Took me a long time from a tender age of around 10 to understand what my Dad meant when he said "Love my fishing, catching a fish is a bonus"
Still fishing - Love a nice quiet river drowning, worms / Spinning as well as boat fishing - Bait / Spinning / Trolling.
The best fishermen I have had the pleasure of fishing with and learning from - My Dad (RIP Dad) my Uncle Fred (RIP) / Doug Ristic ( RIP Mate) and Adrian Webb (Meppstas).

Good topic idea Whiskers!

Yes, I'm happy to say, I agree Mr Camper, what a friggin great topic idea , , , , so back on topic

My Parents came from a little Greek Island (Lemnos , , , , the Island for the Gallipoli campaign staging area). So fishing was a way of life.

As kids we (my Sisters and I) were brought up with fishing and all that was associated with it. From fishing, to raking up Crabs, to collecting and preparing Cockles, Sea Urchins (yeah, tried them over and over and the best I could do was not spit them out right away) , , , , really, all manner of fishing and seafood. I heard many of Dad's fishing stories

We weren't elaborate fishermen, more the humble bread and butter specie. We would catch Squid (Calamari) when they were seen as "Eeeewww, what are they' , , , , oddly enough, still to this day, I hear some people say "they don't eat Squid BUT love Calamari" , , , , I smile

Dad and I did venture into the Snapper realm, and we were hooked, many a fish was landed or lost to the excitment of both of us. Dad's best place to go was Whyalla , , , , you may say it was the Snapper, but it was more for the resident Dolphins that he could call at will , , , , was amazing to see , , , , pity a few trips he couldn't do that with the Snapper.

My mate Don, introduced me to Surf Fishing, which was his passion. (I introduced Don to Snapper Fishing, and he took to it like a duck to water, best Snapper Guy i have fished with). Well I took to Surf Fishing like a duck to cement , , , , made a right mess of it over and over. Don, is a legend and very patient , , , , thanks Don. He introduced me to Braid and I curse him for that every time thinks go wrong , , , , but it has been advantages many a time , , , , and I may have forgotten to praise braid at those times. Mullies , , , , what a way to fish , , , , has mate-ship written all over it, well that's when we aren't 4x4ing the dunes

I have been offered many times to go BIG fish reef bashing, Tuna Fishing and the higher aspect of fishing but, that doesn't interest me. Happy with my little Fishing Universe and and happy to be the Court Jesture in that , , , ,

oh , , , , and annoying you guys too

Cheers, Bugatti
