Fishing Techniques

• For Australian bass

  Vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are responding to on the day, and don't be afraid to fish tight to structure.

• For Dewfish

  Fish during the evening or early morning when Dewfish are most active, and target areas with structure like submerged logs and rocks.

• For Golden perch

  Golden perch often hold near structure such as fallen trees or rock bars, so focus your fishing efforts in these areas, and consider using lures that deflect off the structure to entice strikes.
