About Gary Brown
Gary has fished in every state and territory in Australia, except for the NT, for over fifty years and early in his fishing career he targeted bream, whiting, flathead, leatherjackets, luderick, john dory, flounder, crabs, silver trevally and mulloway in the estuaries and bays.
In his teens Gary bought his first boat and started fish out to sea on the south coast of NSW where he could chase snapper, tuna, morwong, pinkies, leatherjackets, mulloway, bonito and many other fish species.
Not being content with that style of fishing Gary took up rock and beach fishing and targeted drummer, snapper, bonito, tuna, bream, luderick, tailor, Australian salmon, whiting, dart and kingfish off many a deep-water ledge and washes around Australia.
In 2002 Gary had?his first book published (Fishing Sydney's Waterways) by AFN. This was then followed by four more books: 2005 - Beach and Rock Fishing, 2007 - Australia's Favourite Fish Species, 2010 - Fishing Guide to South of Sydney and in 2013 - Land-based Fishing Guide for Sydney Harbour.
Over the years Gary has compiled an arsenal of bait rigs that have proven successful and he has been kind enough to let us share a selection of these rigs here, along with a short blurb from Gary about each rig and its applications.
(Remember it's important to check your local regulations and regulations of areas you are travelling to fish in terms of sizes and bag limits relating to baits and bait gathering)
