Sometimes in fishing we forget about the basics , the latest live , side imaging, rod , reel or lure seem to overtake how we all started and that was very basic fishers.
Whilst having all this flash gear is nice, but has staring at a screen and catching no more than when you fished basic, really as much fun than our early days.
On my travels I have stopped at Jundah on the lovely Thomson River and dropped back to my basic fishing, the same fishing I did with my dad and grandad when I was young , a forked stick to hold my fishing rod although my combo isn't a Jarvis Walker Black Queen suited with a Mitchell spin reel it will do just fine to bring the memories back.
A small bait trap filled with some soap and bingo fresh shrimp bait.
Whilst sitting on the riverbank line in the water ,rod in V stick suddenly a dancing rod tip GRANDAD I have a bite but Grandad is long gone but the memories haven't
Sometimes basic is fun π£π£
