Beach Walk #2 (Fishing tips)

After writing Beach Walk #1 on 11th July 2009 I went to the beach, on average one times a week. Walking, Running and Swimming are activities that interest me. But last night I went fishing, and it was my second time to go to this spot at Boambee and I guess my fifth time in my whole life!

Yeah and I am quite new in fishing and last night something magical happened! ;-) , I went home with two fish(a flat head and another type!) How did this happen? I was lucky to meet David and Kerin (I hope i spelled that right) . They told me a lot of tips about fishing. Then I thought it would be nice if I shared tips in my Blog. Maybe someone like me can use these tips and go back home happy and excited ! :D

Tips that I remember are :

* After heavy rain more fish will come from sea to river.
* After sun goes down , you have more chance to catch bigger fish .
* We used fish meat for bait , they told me cheap/fresh fish will do the job , in our case I guess it was Mullet fish.
* David showed me how put bait onto the hook,and make sure you go pierce through the skin twice and hook with bait.
* David showed me how to drop line to water and leave line in ground until fish bite the bait properly, yeah it's time to be patient.
* If you didn't feel much bite with fish then it's time to check your hook again.
* last tip is about being positive and lucky, good luck ;-)

Another interesting thing about last night was the talk that we had together. Australian's are famous for being friendly and that is really true, they treated me like their close friend and taught me a lot of tricks and tips about fishing. The only things they asked me was sharing these tips with others ,and that I think it's a great thing and I am doing it right now! ;-)
I also talked about my nationality and they were interested to know more about my culture and politics in Iran (formally Persia). I explained to them Why I wore GREEN last night(11th February 2010)? And I saw their support and interest in Green movements all over the world.

I noticed about one pattern in my life that is about the 11th of each month, for example I was born on the 11th of March and I arrived to Australia on the 11th of March as well,and I caught two fish on the 11th of February ;-) and I'd like to post in my blog after this day :-) Anyway there are many 11th days in front , let's see what will happen in the future.
Cheers,
Sid
PS. I caught one fish(flat head) and David gave another one to me , thanks David ;-)
