Fishing from land!
I have just bought a rod that allows me to fish from land or a boat. I am currently living in Randwick. I want to find somewhere local that i can fish. i dont have a boat. So i am looking for somewhere of the beach or something for fishing. I am a total novice when it comes to fishing but i'm willing to learn. Any advice appreciated! Thanks in advance! Coogee or Bronte would be cool. Bait that i should use? Fishing books you would recommend? Cheers!

Again I don't know the area but watch the swells as there are several accidents every year from people fishing from rocks and falling in and banging their head and drowning.

I was told on my last trip that rock fishing was the most dangerous sport in Australia! :scared: :scared:

depending on what you,re after too, I have been getting nothing but catfish from the Coomera, they love prawn, use the little dart-like bait fish and you,ll start hitting Bream and Flathead's, only wish i could use those horrible Toad-fish as bait! hundreds of the blighter's near the shore.
