About King River
King River, in Western Australia, Australia, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at King 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 Southern black bream
Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, as black bream can be easily spooked in clear water.
- For Goldlined seabream
Use berley (chum) to attract fish to your fishing spot and increase your chances of a bite; try a mix of bread, fish scraps, and prawn shells.
- For Barramundi
Target areas with structure like fallen trees, weed beds, or rocky outcrops, especially during dawn and dusk when barramundi are most active.
