They are the paddle-tail soft plastic, metal blade and the old-time favourite, the spinnerbait. The soft plastic is my favourite lure presentation because of its versatility. Its natural subtle action allows it to be fished year round, whether to an edge or down deep on both active and inactive fish. Fishing a plastic to an edge is most effective in clear water …

While we’re on the freshwater scene, Lake Gregory has been one of the best fishing options whilst all our river systems are dirty.  Good reports of lots of bass are coming in. I ventured out to this magic little impoundment early on Monday morning.  The water level is as high as I’ve ever seen, making launching the boat a breeze.  …

Changes to recreational fishing rules ROCKTOBER has come and gone and now we are into Movember. Where has this year gone? I think I say that every year, but it really has flown. The great thing about this is we are fast coming into summer, which means warm-weather whiting, bigmouth brown bass, dart and topwater bream fishing. Yep, I’m all …

There is one flight pass in particular that shows a very low water level and many clues about where to start looking, taking notice of the now sunken rises and valleys.
