That is a horse, in great condition, was it lure caught or bait. I,m giving the Paynesville /Eagle Point area a try tomorrow, I,ll be testing Hurricane Spider Crab in motor oil colour

Just bait fishing. Trusty sand worm.

Nicely Done mate. How did you cope with the fires? We had some anxious moments but all was well. Had to spend one night hosing down the house as we were under ember attack but a wind change about 4 a.m. turned a really big fire away from us. A lot of the bush tracks are still closed and there's sti...

Big Bull Mullet (Sea Mullet) can sometimes be the most frustrating fish to catch. At one spot I go to they often hang out in shoals of 30 or 40 fish at a time but they steadfastly refuse a bait of any kind.

How to decide on your next fishing destination.

The local bream are in real trouble if you blokes are coming up here. I reckon you'd catch them in a bucket of water! The estuary has been very patchy for the last month or so. Too much dirty water coming down from heavy rain in the high country but just in the last few days the water is starting to...

Fished a little backwater this evening. Plenty of bream on the chew but nothing of any size. Things got interesting when the bait fish schools were being chased by something, namely Estuary Perch. Managed to get three, all about 40cm long and all on a curly tail grub. Man they go hard on light tackl...

40cm is huge! And probably 15-20 years old. They put up a good fight for sure. Which grub lure did you use? My mate went to Tyers couple weeks ago said baitjunkie bloodworm 2.5" was better than zman grub motor oil. I thought zman motor oil grub is like the number one grub for bream. Thanks Sebb. Th...

Where ever you fish, how ever you fish, how often you fish, what ever you fish for, here's wishing you all a very Happy Christmas.

Stay safe every one.
