Getting To Know Me and What I'm All About

Ok so here is a basic rundown of where I live and where I spend my free time.
I live in Maitland, half an hour outside of Newcastle in NSW, Australia and as you can see from this tiny map there are many waterways and wide open areas to play in.

Now I may only be 21, but I have fished all my life, from Lake Macquarie to Port Macquarie, from bush to beach and out west as far as Dubbo. I know most of this area like the back of my hand and I've spent a lot of time studying the waters, tides and the fish so if there is anyone wanting advice or an opinion on say a fishing trip or the like just let me know and I'll do my best to help.
My dad runs a small 4WDing club if you wanna check them out Mud Pigs 4X4, so I've learnt a lot about the bush and the area through him and I'll get the videos up soon and hopefully make a couple of new ones too as its well past time. Once again, anyone looking for advice on 4wding or just the local bush let me know and I'll do my best.
Ok so locally around Maitland there is:

• The Hunter River
• The Paterson River
• The Williams River
• Several Lagoons, Quarries and Creeks
• Newcastle
• Many Nature Reserves

Then if you head a little further out say an hour or so there is:

•  Lake Macquarie
• Stockton Beach
• Cessnock, Aberdare and Heaton State Forests
• Mt Sugarloaf and Vincent
• Lostock Dam and Lake St Clair
• Chichester Dam and State Forest
• Barrington Tops

 Now I have visited nearly all of these places, and I will make a comprehensive list of all of them and what I found as I go on. Next post I'll show a couple of things my friends and I have caught over the last year or so, before I started making records of when, where and baits etc.

I'll try to make this as interesting as I can, but at times I may branch off into specific things I find interesting or need help with. Skip these if they don't interest you, I won't be offended :)
