Lake Connewarre

Tucked into Victoria, Australia, Lake Connewarre is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lake Connewarre should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

• For White trevally

  White trevally often school, so locate the school and work it thoroughly. Vary retrieve speeds to see what they prefer.

• For Eastern Australian salmon

  Eastern Australian salmon often school, so if you catch one, keep fishing the same area; they are aggressive feeders and readily strike at moving targets.

• For Australasian snapper

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