I recently started fishing with my mates I just have a couple hooks, weights and a rod around 70$ total. Is there any lures or something that is relatively easy I should get, a technique I should learn or a knot I should be able to tie. I'm fishing in perth Australia and if anyone knows of some good fishing spots north of perth that would be great to.
This is what I currently own:

Hey brother, I would keep it simple with getting some senko worms/zoom worms and EWG hooks. Texas rig them bad boys and just have some fun with it. The knot I use is the Uni knot & it has yet to ever fail me

you could set up some killer finesse bottom rigs or drop shot rigs with this gear. i would learn the double uni and double overhand knot for attaching leaders to mainline. clinch, palomar, and snell knot for attaching hooks to leaders. dropper loop knots and fixed loop knots will also be handy for specific circumstances (drop shot rigs, jighead/lure fishing). idk about australian laws regarding live bait but if you search âcarolina rigâ thatâs where i would start with getting set up. once you have your rig figured out put a chunk of bait on one of those hooks. cast out and let it sink to the bottom (youâll see your spool stop paying out line). set the rod up between rocks, logs or in a rod holder with the tip up. close the bail and reel until your line has a very slight dip in it (not slack but not tight). hangout until you see the line start to move/bounce and the rod tip start to load up. when you grab your rod you want to reel up the slack line and when you feel the tension of the fish set the hook đđźđŁ good luck and tight lines brotha
