Australian fishing

HI TO ALL ANGLERS.
I have decided to do something radical and give away for free,valuable information gained from many years experience and countless hour upon hour of hard earned knowledge.I caught my first fish at the age of 3 years and for the next 30+ years i spent my life on the water both professionally and recreationally.I am an Aussie and have caught just about every type of fish of every size found around the Aussie coastline.I am prepared to share my know-how with whoever is interested.These are genuine tips,I know they work,I have caught all my fish using the tips and tecniques as described.
READ.USE.LEARN.ENJOY,TIGHT LINES.
WEATHER:
I have fished through all sorts of weather from Hot,Cold,Windy,Storms,Rain and found as long as the barometer is staying still or rising the weather only worries the fisherman not the fish.
BAROMETER:
It won't matter where you are fishing lakes,Rivers,Oceans a rising barometer is always best.A falling barometer will slow fishing down in some cases it will stop fish feeding altogether.
TIDES:
Play a key role in fishing,Depending on what species you are after depends on what tide you fish.
BEACH FISHING TIDES:
Mulloway and sharks like the last of the run in tide and high water,Fish the deep gutters at night time.
Tailor and Salmon like the run in tide.
Whiting,Bream,Dart,Flathead like low water and the first of the run in tide.
RIVER FISHING TIDES:
Mangrove Jack,Bream,Whiting,Tailor,Treavelly,Grunter,Salmon all like a run in tide.
Mulloway:Likes low water and the first of run in tide.
Flathead like a run out tide.
BAY FISHING TIDES:
Squid,Gummy sharks,Snapper,Whiting like the run in tide.
OFFSHORE FISHING TIDES:
Snapper,Jewfish,Marlin like a tide change high or low.
Reef fish,Tailor,Mackeral,Yellowtail kingfish,Sampson fish,Amberjack,Pearl Perch, like a run in tide.Sharks,Cobia,Wahoo like the last of a run out tide.
MOON PHASES:
I believe the new moon through to 2 nights before the full are the best time for fishing and I won't start fishing again until 2 nights after the full.Then I will fish right through until the next full moon.THE reason is I believe, over the full there is too much current!The full moon usually means king tides which means lots off current for some reason shuts the fish down.Maybe the extra water is cooler which stops the fish feeding?Whatever the reason! The 4 nights around the full moon are good nights to stay home and watch fishing movies.The falling moon isn't a bad time to go fishing because the current is slowing down after the full,The fish start coming back on the chew.Things are a bit slow but with some patience you will get a feed.The dark moon is pretty much the same as the falling moon,things are a bit slow with next to no current and very small tides with patience you will get a feed.The rising moon,Let the fun begin,the current starts to move,the fish start to feed,now is the time to go and catch that big one.
REEF FISH:
I tend to chase mixed reef fish over flat ground with a ferny bottom over the dark moon,Running up to the full moon fish on top of shoals this is the best for big reds and scarlet Sea Perch. The reason being with less tide I find the fish like to move around and graze.When fishing around the full moon you will find the fish around structures such as bommies and ledges because the fish will be hiding to get out of the current.As the moon falls, you can start fishing the deeper water where the fish will star grazing again. Only fish a couple hours each side of the tide change for best results.Fresh squid best bait for all reef fish.

 

Always fishing
