It's funny how twenty-thirty years ago, this report would have been the precipice for a groundbreaking technique in fishing for murray cod that would have been published in a national fishing magazine. There would have been a stampede of mad keen lure tossers scrambling to get on to it before it bec...

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, if you do not know what type of fish you have caught, take a photo and release it back into the water. Then post the photo for your enquiries. Ignorance is NOT a valid excuse. Do not kill and keep something that you cannot identify. Quite simply, you could be breaking the law...

Hi Steve, when you use Meteye, do use the zoom feature? The reason i ask, is that if you check Meteye right now and zoom in on the Fawkner Beacon, you will notice that there's two "wind arrows" next to each other almost pointing in opposing directions for the predicted conditions on Thursday 15th of...

You certainly can, but like most metro bream,they are not easy to catch. In the past i have caught them on the shallow reef where the rocks meet the pier using soft plastics early in the morning on first light. You can usually polaroid them cruising the shallows from first light - but mostly when th...

Snotty nosed trevalla or warehou usually don't start getting caught until the water starts to cool down. If you want to target them, fish like you would for silver trevally. Big difference is that silver trevally will usually prefer structure and stay in shallow water, whereas warehou tend to be fre...

Just out of curiosity, how much do you charge the other LB fishos per drop? $5 per drop sounds fair?

Kids got a chance to fire the hose from the Edithvale fire truck and donated $10 for 4 snags and a couple of drinks for ...

Yep, fished the Tambo and Mitchell over the AFL Victorian long weekend (mostly family holiday) and definitely tough going. Got plenty of bites and took home 3 keepers - 2 bream @29cm and 1 trevally @ 29cm. Had local prawns, sandworms, yabbies and scrubworms. All got fish but the 3 keepers were on th...

stick to fireline crystal. I have been using them (smoke/green) since it was only fireline and spiderwire available on the market - a long time ago. 'why fix something that isn't broken?' Stiff to start with, but becomes supple very quickly. Personally I prefer using fluorocarbon leader. Best thing ...

Get a hold of some small blades such as the strike pro hummer 40 and target around the jetties around Paynesville fishing directly along the pylons. Or if you head into one of the rivers, I like to use a firebait longtail minnow slowly twitched along the bottom. Given the cold conditions, most of th...
