GETTING caught up in timber, weeds, rocks or crevices is part and parcel of fishing. Casting and retrieving baits and lures around structure invariably results in becoming frustratingly snagged. Whilst unavoidable at times, you can minimise the chance of losing your lure or rig by employing a few techniques to snag proof your offering. Shielding hook points is the basic premise behind a snag free offering with a number of variants possible depending on the hook and lure combination being used.

MURRAY cod are one of the true icons when it comes to native Australian fish. Up until the past two decades the species was generally considered to be in decline, and in the past generations of anglers pulled in thousands of big cod throughout the whole Murray Darling basin. I’ve seen plenty of old photos of multiple big cod strung up by the gills on poles with their captors smiling at their success.

I HAVE a boat and a kayak but sometimes the only way to access a fishing hotspot is to get your feet wet. Before I could afford my tinny and Hobie, I used to wade the NSW south coast estuaries all the time. It was a cheap and effective way to get into fishy water and target species that lived in the shallows, along the weed edges and in the channels.

OUR planet is littered with iconic fishing locations that are renown for outstanding fishing. The Cairns mega marlin fishery. Florida’s flats and tarpon fishing. Hawaii’s blue marlin fishing. Nova Scotia’s bluefin fishery. There are many more and the one thing they all share is a long history of amazing and record breaking captures over many decades. Fishing folklore is written around these places and the fish they produce.

WHILST I love the thrill and challenge of chasing a diverse range of species, my fishing pursuits have taken a turn in recent times towards a more one dimensional approach. With family and work commitments building in momentum, the fishing windows have been reduced and a change in priorities have occurred as a result. The decision of where and what to focus my efforts has largely been influenced by one particular species, the yellowtail kingfish.

YOU can learn a lot by chatting to competitors at the Gold Coast Flathead Classic. Many are having a ball, but it doesn’t take long to find teams who, despite their best efforts, haven’t caught a fish. The problem is mostly about finding fish but there are quite a few other issues that have contributed to their “donut”. The results show that the big scores go to a select few. And they do it most years.

WAHOO have always been one of my favourite species of fish to catch. In most areas they aren’t all that common, and off the Gold Coast where I live they turn up in erratic numbers each year. Some seasons we see plenty, but more generally we catch maybe half a dozen as by-catch when chasing billfish with lures. There are specific ways to target wahoo at certain times of the year and the following article will explain some of those methods in detail.

FROM a fishing perspective, floods offer many opportunities. Floods fertilise rivers and bring plenty of new life in the months after they occur. Many species are displaced by flood water as they move towards the river mouths in search of saltier water. Over the years I’ve fished the flood aftermath quite a bit. My first memories of fishing after a big flood happened may years ago at Box Head near the mouth of the Hawkesbury.
