3AW Rumour File

Post by skouta » Thu Jun 07, 2018 4:42 pm

Heard on the 3AW rumour file this morning that anglers are creating their own reefs in the Bay by sinking old boats to create a structure and marking the spot so they can come back and fish there ... Has anyone heard about this??

Link to story below...

Years ago an old guy in werribee used to take things out like old stoves and heavy metal items and drop them in the same spot every time starting his personal reef. He lined up land marks to find the same spot every time.

Sort of like an old time Nudeups secret spot.
He who has the most fishing rods WINS ! :ts:

There would be a lot of these all over Aus. It's a bit like old wrecks that have been sunk by authorities.

If we have heavy rain, beware of the log jam letting go

Rumoured to have been put there by a well known charter boat owner, or is this another one?

Imagine the tackle hooked up on that, :snap: cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them
