Logan River

Logan River, in Queensland, Australia, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Logan River is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Japanese meagre

  Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.

• For Bull shark

  Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as bull sharks have very sharp teeth and powerful jaws.

• For Dusky flathead

  Target sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like weed beds or drop-offs, and remember to let the lure sink to the bottom before starting your retrieve.
