I live in northern Victoria...a bit further north than 'Dangerous Dave'! I have been on this forum before under a different alias...or two or more! Why the choice of user name? My birthday falls on April Fool's Day and besides, I am running out of names!
Over the last few years my fishing has been hampered due to a lack of agility and mental health problems (when you lose interest in your hobbies you know you are struggling). Purchasing a large amount of fishing gear to get me motivated hasn't worked! I have always preferred to fish with lures but now find myself limited to using bait or the occasional short lure session at easily accessible, very heavily fished locations.
cheers
Team Fool (aka Jim)
Not sure how long I will last this time!!!

Fishing is the best mental therapy around I reckon, whether you catch a fish or not. Make the effort and get back into it pal, especially now the weather is improving. A good dose of vitamin d (sun) is one of the best medications going around
Well, my name is Bill and I have an innate ability to bug people and my Son loves Bugatti Cars so much so, that I made my Jetty Kart a Bugatti , , , , and by changing my name , , , , I can stay one step ahead of the law
If you were asking me this....I started off as Rod Bender then added the cats alias later on. When I decided I had had enough I 'deactivated' my accounts so I couldn't log on. So when I returned, I had to start a new account. Then I had another meltdown, killed my third instalment and then for some unknown reason I came back iny current form.

I also fish the irrigation channels and Waranga Basin near Rushworth. All of my fishing is shore based and I use lures and bait. Species of fish that I have caught are redfin, carp (of course) ,trout and to a lesser extent natives - so not much diversity.
As for my user name, the main cause of my rod bending is usually from being snagged! I look forward to contributing to this site as well as learning.

Hi Bill my comment wasn’t made to suggest Jim’s previous stints here weren’t valuable contributions. It’s just that I simply cannot remember his other aliases but April Fool has definitely been a prominent poster fishing the fresh.Bugatti wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 9:39 pm
I have been surfing this Forum/website (and others but I clear my Search History vigilantly on the others ) and I have found great pleasure in gems that are buried years back.

No need to explain rb, you're good. And you are right, since Jim's metamorphosis as April ( ) he has been a great contributor.rb85 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 6:01 amHi Bill my comment wasn’t made to suggest Jim’s previous stints here weren’t valuable contributions.
