If you’re a pro or amateur angler and love throwing a line in on a long weekend away or even a daily drop in the river to keep you from going insane, then ensuring you have all the gear is essential to keeping you cool, calm and collected, allowing you to bring home your daily catch. Fishing can be good for the soul on your own, or with others, and can be used as a getaway from the stresses of the daily grind or a great retirement past-time. With a plethora of different species on offer throughout Australia in rivers, seas, lakes, and catchments, you will not run out of things to hunt down and catch so be sure to challenge yourself in different ways to keep the adventure alive. Any one who takes on the challenge of fishing at least once in their life, will see the health benefits and relaxation that come with the mind-numbing task. On offer are species including Crabs, Yabbies, Yellowtail Kingfish, Tuna, Whiting, Squid, Barramundi, Garfish and so much more, the opportunities for adventure and tasting the amazing ocean offerings are absolutely endless. Plan your next adventure by including a day or two of fishing in a different couple of water holes and you will be sure to see a wide range of catches creating excitement and a sense of accomplishment. If you wish you can even create a list of things you’d like to catch or taste, and cross them off as you hit each achievement.

Fishing Rods are an essential when wanting to throw a line in and can be much easier than usual hand reels or nets, allowing you to cast the line out in the deeper water and slowly let it float flow back in with the water current. If you want that sinking feeling, then be sure to couple your line with the right gauge of sinker to stop your line floating to the surface and missing out on those deep swimmers. With the added flexibility to allow your line to linger in the shallows while you kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet, a fishing pole is paramount to relieving your stress out in the outback. Going snapper chasing is perfect on your own or with family, mates, or the dog, so what are you waiting for, get angling today.

A Fishing Tackle Box will allow you to keep all of the nitty gritty bits organised and easily show you the stock levels of your angling arsenal. With many individual compartments, waterproof outers and easily securable lids, a tackle box is a great way to ensure you have everything you need no matter what your reasoning is for throwing a line in at the local water hole. From holding your extra roll of fishing line, sinkers, bobbers, lures, squid jags, pliers and even a small first aid kit, the tackle box will be an absolute life saver and live up to its full potential with ease, every time it gets used.

There is nothing worse than heading to the river and losing track of time, realising that you’ve spent half the day there already and haven’t managed to find a comfortable part of the river bank, rocks, or tree stump to perch yourself on for a breather. So why not pack a lightweight and super comfy Throne Camping Chair that will save the sore behind and keep you dry above the moisture of the riverbank. In turn allowing you hours more entertainment without putting so much stress on your legs and back from standing throughout the entire ordeal. Not only can it save your back and legs but the extra level or stress relief when you throw the line in, wedge it in the bank to hold itself up and finally kick your heels up will be unimaginable. After all the aim of going fishing no matter when it is, is to feel relaxed and go at your own pace, so why not take the comfort with you!

Packing a small BBQ plate to take with you along with essential fire lighting gear, means you can kick back and enjoy a feed while you reel in some spares by the river. So, depending on your location and whether you’re allowed to have a small fire to burn off some BBQ meats, you’ll be able to get cooking as soon as the first whiting hits the deck. If you’re quick with the filleting knife and have some salt and pepper in your tackle box then lunch will be served in no time, adding just another level to your relaxing outing, even if the wife thinks you’re fixing the mower in the shed to get the grass cut at home.

Another way to level up your fishing game is to head off shore into deeper waters to find a better variety for your relaxing catch. But if you don’t have a boat or you just want to explore as you drag a line, then a fishing kayak could be the perfect option for an angling adventure. With the option of two-person capacity you could take someone on a date or take one of your kids along to show them the ropes and how to tie off a fresh bit of fishing wire. What is great about a fishing kayak is that it has rod holders to keep your fishing pole in place and has plenty of room to fit a small esky and your trusty tackle box to keep you out of trouble at least until you go home. With the added ability to go where other water borne vessels can’t go, you will find yourself exploring the depths of mangroves and inlets where some of the best fishing, crabbing, and yabbying can take place with the beauty of having no one around to hinder your catch. Aside from pulling in a full-sized flat head, you can enjoy the serenity of floating through the waters with ease on a quality, Australian designed Fishing Kayak from the Kings range at 4WD Supacentre.
