I made a decision to get back into fishing (Not that I was really ever heavily into it). Last time I went fishing was probably close to 30yrs ago with my Grandfather. We used to fish in the local canals near home in Brisbane with varying levels of success. I never knew anything about the differences in rod etc. so I consider myself still a newbie. Compounded buy the fact that I am sure there as been some great advances in the last 30yrs. I have no idea where to start with the rod and reel or even where to go near where I live in Sydney. Hoping to do a bit of a day trip on Sunday and do some creek or river fishing if anyone knows of a decent location between Sydney and Central Coast or Sydney and South Coast. I would like to find somewhere that I can get my vehicle waterside as well as it is setup for camping/daytrips with fridge, awning etc. and advice on what sort of rod/reel combo for creek/river fishing with potentially the occasional boat trip on the cards. In the mean time I will hit the search bar up to and thankyou in advance for any advice

Hi everyone,
I made a decision to get back into fishing (Not that I was really ever heavily into it). Last time I went fishing was probably close to 30yrs ago with my Grandfather. We used to fish in the local canals near home in Brisbane with varying levels of success. I never knew anything about the differences in rod etc. so I consider myself still a newbie. Compounded buy the fact that I am sure there as been some great advances in the last 30yrs. I have no idea where to start with the rod and reel or even where to go near where I live in Sydney. Hoping to do a bit of a day trip on Sunday and do some creek or river fishing if anyone knows of a decent location between Sydney and Central Coast or Sydney and South Coast. I would like to find somewhere that I can get my vehicle waterside as well as it is setup for camping/daytrips with fridge, awning etc. and advice on what sort of rod/reel combo for creek/river fishing with potentially the occasional boat trip on the cards.
