Spotted Mackerel I caught about 20km out from Southport on a fishing charter. I caught the first fish of the day which was a king fish but slightly too small to keep AND the biggest fish of the day! I was getting some pretty filthy looks that day haha!! It was 102cm. Of course the dudes from the charter were telling me what to do and one of them had to finish it off for me and bring it in cos I was stuffed!!

bait casters offer a little more finesse and accuracy, its only really an advantage if your on a boat casting at structures like trying to place lures between pilons or between branches on a submerged log etc. also they require more spool control on casts so beginners tend to get a lot more tangles.

if your standing on the bank casting out into open water there is no competition in my mind. spinning reel is the way to go and is just as good for lures etc anyway. most professional guys in the bream tournaments are all using spinning reels. you really dont see that many baitcasters being used because at the end of the day the spinning reel is just more versatile

Most the trout and salmon guys here use bait casters with braid. The accuracy and length of cast is stunning. But yea, they take awhile to get used to.

I'm looking at doing some any time of the year camping. I've just put down for a Darche 1550. And bought a -5°c sleeping bag. The bag itself is comfy as. Can't wait to try it out with the swag too!

Next thing to get -besides the license- is a decent fishing rod. Yet another thing to learn the good and bad of.
I don't need a fishing licence I have an indigenous card (:
