WE’D been dragging lures across a seemingly lifeless ocean for about five hours. There was not much chatter on the boat radio, and on a calm day on a smooth sea we drifted into an air of somnolence as the lures bubbled through a glass sea. Sometimes when it is like this, you start to see things that aren’t there. A fin, a shadow, a dark shape in a wave. For a second I thought I was imagining I saw a deep shadow behind the closest lure. Then a fin, a bill and a huge hit made the reel scream.

WHILE South Australia may not be viewed as an enviable sport fishing destination in a global sense, our state is steeped in early game fishing history and still boasts some exceptional sport fishing for those in the know. The likes of Alf Dean, Ern Palmer, Jim Cowell and Jim Veitch helped put SA on the angling map back in the 1950s with world record captures of great white sharks at locations such as Port Lincoln, Streaky Bay and Ceduna.

ONE thing I’ve learned in 50 years of fishing is that a large factor to being successful is finding the fish. To many anglers, this is second nature. They always seem to find and catch fish at any time of the year. Their secret is very often knowing where the fish will be but, more importantly, why they will be there. All fish have tails as you’ve probably heard many times and most of them move around quite considerably.

ESTUARIES are fantastic places to catch fish. Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler, estuaries often carry an abundance of fish and provide opportunities for a variety of species in practically any weather and style of boat. Before we go any further, what exactly is an estuary? Without going into scientific terms, an estuary is the sheltered and often shallow waterway at the lower end of a river system. It could be a large bay, or the lower part of a river before it enters the ocean.

FISHING the bottom layers of the water column has always been a popular past time, but in recent years a lot of the more traditional methods used have changed from traditional bait fishing rigs to using soft plastics, slow jigs and octopus style jigs. Where I live on the Gold Coast yellowtail kingfish, amberjack, cobia, samson fish, snapper, mulloway and pearl perch make up the majority of recreational catches in deep water.

TARGETING flathead on soft plastics is one of my favourite pastimes – they’re a great fish. I love their surprise attack in shallow water when you least expect it, and the fact you can generally find a fish or two with consistency. When time is limited, having that go-to species which offers a high likelihood of success is important. And I think that’s why flathead are so popular here in Australia, they offer an accessible, reliable and exciting target for fisho’s of all ability.

SINCE I was a kid luderick have remained with me. I’ve held up my bat to acknowledge the half-century, and now in my 50s, the fish I catch (and now also release) more than any other is my purple-hued, stripey vegan buddy. I say he’s vegan but that’s not entirely true. Every year in spring when the days here in Sydney start to reach the mid 20s again, I resume throwing lures around like an idiot, for more carnivorous targets.

THE coastal strip running north from Byron Bay to the Queensland border is known as the Tweed Coast. This once quiet area it is rapidly transforming into an upmarket residential area as well as a popular holiday destination. Apart from the recent addition of several modern housing sub-divisions and shopping precincts, a major hospital is in the final stages of construction which indicates the area is looking at further expansion.
