Another South Aussie! Hooray :) I've never been fishing down that way... I tend to have more success in casting the hook, bait and line in the back of my own head. I'm not very talented at fishing.
Therefore, you win, because you caught something more than a concussion, which I gave myself, the last time I went fishing.
hahaha love it. I remember I used to be terrible with casting and baiting, I almost took my dads eye out back in the day. But you'll get the technique in time, it's all an experience thing!
