Only fish gutters on beaches.
Poppycock.
I've caught tons of salmon in washes, as well as a fair few mullet.

HeHe....easy one.......That native fish won't bite on a low barometer, and yet cod seem to go nuts at an approaching thunderstorm and low barometric pressure. I have seen many exceptions to both rules/myths. Same deal with a full moon and fishing.

yes

A fishing myth - can't catch small fish on big hooks but can catch big fish on small hooks.. absolutely false. I still see some fishing presenters on TV sprouting this myth, yet I use nothing but 8/0 circles in WPB and manage just as many 10cm flathead and schoolies as I do keeper fish. And i wouldnt like my chances with a fine gauge 2/0 suicide if a big thumping kingy came along.

A fishing fact - LB is far more difficult than by boat, as I've found out recently.

I agree.

If you make single word or phrase posts which contribute nothing to the discussion on a fishing forum for each comment you want to respond too instead of using multiple quotes in one post, your post count will get higher and people will think you are more knowledgeable.

Word. :thumbsup:

Bleeding and gutting Gummies into the water you are fishing puts others gummies the bite - this old wives tail hasn't ever stopped a hot bite on gummies while I have fished for them

gutting them into the water makes no difference

Agreed
