Myall River

Myall River, in New South Wales, Australia, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Myall 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 Bluefish

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

• For Sand sillago

  Use a slow, steady retrieve with slight twitches to entice strikes, especially when using soft plastics near the bottom.
