About St Georges Basin

Located in New South Wales, Australia, St Georges Basin is a saltwater venue where the tide chart matters more than the weather. Fish at St Georges Basin feed hardest on the moving tide, with slack water tending to fish slowly. Wind direction also changes things — an onshore breeze pushes baitfish into the shallows and can turn a quiet morning into a short, frantic feeding window.

Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese meagre

• For Bluefish

  Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.

• For White trevally

  White trevally often school, so locate the school and work it thoroughly. Vary retrieve speeds to see what they prefer.
