A Guide To Fishing Off Gullies...

Hi guys. I have decieded to add this thread to inform people of the tips and safety precautions that should be taken when fishing from a gully.

SAFETY TIPS:

• Always check high tide times and heights.
• Let somebody know where you are and when you are expecting to be home.
• Check for cut-off points.
• Check the depth of the gullies before stepping into them.
• Watch for any changing conditions in the water and weather.
• Wear appropriate clothing and gripping footwear.
• Always take a mobile phone, a watch and possibly a whistle.

TACKLE TIPS:

• You will need a very strong and sturdy rod and reel.
• Be prepared to loose any tackle and take extra.
• Useing a single hook instead of a pennel can prevent you from being hung up.
• Strong hooks are much better then soft-wired hooks.
• Before each cast - check the point of the hook - ajust as nessecary and change regulary.
• Attach a rubbing leader to your main-line to help drag the fish over rocks and plants.
• Don't power cast unless you really think you should - an over-head thump or ob should be enough.
• Rather then staying in one place - moving about will deffinatly increase your chances of hooking.

I hope this information helps.
