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 Bluefish

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

• For Australasian snapper

  Use berley (chum) to attract snapper to your fishing spot and hold them there, increasing your chances of a successful catch.
