i have thought about berley many times before, and i was going to try it but i just cant be bothered lately.
im also quite paranoid about sharks etc. also, went down to a new spot last night and found a reef!!! YAY!!! it was swarming with snapper!!! i also saw a big school of bream (about 5 times they same past and i missed them), lots of gars, a school of decent whiting, 6 rays, a few leather jackets and heaps of snapper. it was a bit of a pain as we only had a sling between 3 of us and we didnt have a float. it took us about 2 and a half hours in the water to find the reef but it was worth it. we only got 1 snapper between three of us which weighed close to 1.5kgs but my mate was stoked. we could have gotten tons more if we had guns or a float but we didnt have either so and the fish didnt fit in the fish bag. it doesnt look that good in the photo because it was taken this morning and the fish had been in the freezer all night but it was tons better in the water and on the beach.
