Curdies River

Flowing through Victoria, Australia, Curdies River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Curdies River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Curdies River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Yellow-eye mullet

  Use berley (ground bait) to attract Yellow-eye mullet to your fishing spot, improving your chances of a successful catch.

• For Southern black bream

  Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, as black bream can be easily spooked in clear water.

• For Estuary perch

  Target structure like fallen trees, weed beds, and bridge pylons, as estuary perch love to ambush prey from these areas.
