I’m 48 and grew up in Northern NSW, fishing the Gwydir river. As a kid I was always given the job of getting the bait - digging worms for hours and catching yabbies by the hundred. These days we use chicken breast or chicken thigh. It’s fantastic bait and so easy to get.

Hey Robbie, I used to be a big guy too, but I changed, I had to re health. Anyway this worked for me. I stopped drinking booze and fizzy drinks, I went vegetarian (Avocados are your friend), I drank lemon water, slice a lemon and add water, hot or cold. 1 coffee a day. I ate a lot of dairy and eggs, avocado, cucumber and cream cheese. Lots of pasta and rice dishes. lost 30+kg. Didnt increase exercise, but I stayed activeish

Just put the fish back into the water a bit more gentle and don’t throw them from great heights or they could die it’s not real hard.
