Fishing Techniques

• For Tench

  Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.

• For Murray cod

  Target structure like fallen trees, rocky outcrops, and undercut banks, as Murray cod are ambush predators.

• For Common roach

  When fishing for roach, use light tackle and fine lines for better bite detection.
