Australian Lure Fishing

At less than two hours drve from the Melbourne CBD, Nagambie is a very accessible fishing destination - and one that clearly should be on the radar of those who are passionate about their Murray cod fishing. In her second episode for ALF, Caitlin interviewed cod fishing gun Sunny Brislin-Martins and mined a ton of great insights on how to target cod on lures at this location. __________________ Enjoy the Australian Lure Fishing Podcast?

Sydney Harbour has to be one of the most heavily pressured, if not THE most heavily pressured waterways in Australia. A mushrooming population, insane boating traffic and highly urbanised catchment inevitably place pressure on a fishery, yet Sydney Harbour continues to be a productive and exciting place to target some great sportfish. High on the list of desirable species for Sydneysiders is the yellowtail kingfish, and fortunately the stocks of kingfish in the harbour remain sufficient that anglers have a reasonable prospect of tangling with them. In today's episode Shroom interviews Steve "Scollopy" Collopy, a Sydney local who has been honing his land-based kingfish skills and has some impressive catches on the board. ________________________ Finding the ALF Podcast useful?

Mention the Clarence River system and most people immediately picture oversized jacks, chunky jewfish, quality bass and fiesty bream. But if you focus your efforts towards the mouth of the system and cast small poppers and stickbaits about the flats you should come up tight on some very respectable whiting. Nick Haynes has been fishing the Clarence system for a lifetime and has a number of species, including whiting, well in his sights. In today's episode Nick shares his tips for targeting these tasty little ultra light tackle sportfish. ______________ Please consider supporting the Australian Lure Fishing podcast by joining Team Doc Lures.

The upper reaches of the Clarence are one of Australia's great "Wild River" systems and offer some outstanding opportunities for adventurous anglers to experience a wonderful, pristine river system in solitude. Curtis Parker has been on the ALF podcast three times previously and keeps getting invitations for the quality information he provides our listeners. For the last 20 years he's been doing solo missions into the Clarence, taking several days to traverse a hundred or so kilomtres of river in a canoe. Quality bass and the odd Eastern cod bycatch are the attraction, with bush camping, nightime lure flicking and amazing scenery all part of the deal. In today's episode Curtis outlines how he plans, prepares and executes these multi-day solo trips into remote river systems. Tons of great tips for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing the same thing! _________________ Keen for more great tips like those from today's episode of the Australian Lure Fishing podcast?

How much do motor boat noise, wake and other (non-fishing) impacts associated with boating affect fish communities and lure fishing opportunities? Scientific studies show that it can be can be quite a lot. It turns out that the wrong types of boating activities in both general use areas and conservation zones don't just make fish timid while the boats are around. They actually affect the abundance of fish, the diversity of species and the biomass. They change community structure. And whilst fishing may impact on key predatory species, these other activities impact on all fish species and even invertebrates, plus they degrade seagrass habitat, bottom substrate and water quality. ____________________ This ALF episode is a trailer.

Whether you fish tournaments, would like to fish tournaments or just love recreational bream fishing really doesn't matter! This episode is packed with great tips from a couple of masters. Tournament guys like Grayson work very hard at maximising the results they get, making every minute and every cast count. That means being strategic, knowing your species, understanding their behaviour and having the experience to do what's needed, when it's needed. These things are essential to be successful in tournaments. But they can help every single lure fisherto improve their results. Sure, you might not go to the extremes if you're just out for a casual fish, but implement even a few of these tips and you'll start to see the results. _____________ This is an "ALF PLUS" episode, meaning some of the most powerful info of the whole conversation is in the members edition over at Team Doc Lures.

The Great Sandy Straits is an extensive network of sandbanks, channels and mangrove-fringed shoreline nestled between Fraser Island and the mainland on Queenslands Fraser Coast. Much has been written about the decline in fisheries in this area, and today's guest Ryan Holdsworth has noticed the impact. However, he reckons the barra, jack and threadfin fisheries are the exception and have held their own, with great sportfishing opportunities on offer in the creeks and shorelines on the western side. In today's episode Ryan shares his strategies for finding and targeting all three species on lures, working though how to use the tides, the best tackle for the job and the techniques he uses to tempt these species to his lures. _______________ Keen for even more help to catch fish on lures?

This is a repost of an evergreen episode from the ALF 2022 Archive. In the golden age of marine electronics it can be tempting to get lazy and just head to a waypoint and start sounding around.

But barra also inhabit our coastal zone, particularly beaches and headlands, where they can be great sport.

Back in episode 586 I took the opportunity to collate and analyse the lures that had been recommended over 40-plus interviews with Australia's top barra anglers. In this follow up episode I've analysed and discussed the top twenty barra fishing tips shared on the show. Once again, I've created an awesome audio resource for Team Doc Lures members. But I didn't want the public to miss out, so I also created a comprehensive webpage that covers all the lures and techniques suggested by my guests.

From guides to tournament pro's, influncers to educators, these guys and girls have notched up tens of thousands of trophy barra over the years.

We're exited to welcome Caitlin Berecry-Brooks to the ALF hosting team and thought we'd take the opportunity ro re-introduce her to our listeners. Caitlin started fishing with her partner, now husband, about 8 years ago and from day one has always fished with lures. She's currently based in Central Victoria and loves nothing better than to fish for Murray cod, bass and pretty much anything else that swims in her part of the world. She's also lived and fished in Northern Australia and on the NSW North Coast, so she's got plenty of experience on the barra, threadies and a ton of east-coast species too. When she's not fishing Caitlin works for Fisheries in Victoria on engagement and events management and now finds herself managing the WIRF (Women In Recreational Fishing) program that she'd previously joined as a community leader. She's passionate about encouraging and nurturing women and children into fishing. Welcome Caitlin, it's awesome to have you aboard!

Typically when we think about squidding it's all about dropping jigs from pier, casting from the rocks or drifting a weedbed and bouncing a jig as we go. Trolling is not usually part of the equation! But squid can absolutely be targeted by trolling jigs - and the technique enables the angler to cover a lot of ground in search of his or her quarry. Today's guest is Greg Lamprecht, a man who's been at the cutting edge of fishing for a quarter of a century and is probably better known for his offshore exploits. Greg's been getting some pretty good success trolling squid jigs around Moreton Bay, but the techniques he shares in this interview are equally effective anywhere you choose to target squid. _______________ Getting value from the ALF podcast?

The Top End runoff barra fishery is the stuff of legends and every year attracts enthusiastic barra anglers in droves.

Weipa is definitely a land of opportunity for sportfishers. Barra may well be the first species that comes to mind, or maybe permit, threadfin, fingermark...... there are so many. But unless you've been keeping an eye on this northern destination, billfish may or may not make the list. The Gulf of Carpentaria offers some exceptional opportunities to chase billfish, and sailfish in particular. Weipa sportfishing guide Ben "Notso" Bright is super keen on targeting sails, whether it's with clients or on his days off.

For those who have fished with bait their whole lives it can be difficult to come to terms with the idea that a soft plastic prawn is not only more fun to fish with than a live bait, but with a little practice will catch more fish and bigger specimens.

And in the members version I go on to explain how to choose, rig and work soft plastic prawns to maximum advantage. _________________ Not a member?

Usually when we talk fishing in Tasmania we're thinking about trout, bream or maybe southern bluefin tuna. Not a lot gets said about the amzing snapper fishing available to those who live on the north coast of Tasmania (or even those in southern Tas, increasingly). Today's guest is Tasmanian sponsored angler Jack Gillespie, a humble but accomplished angler who has made a habit of taking some pretty decent snapper on light gear and soft plastic lures.

Today's episode is a solo rant to kick off the year 2023. After three years hosting the podcast I've literally had the pleasure of close to 600 conversations with some of Australia's best anglers. I could probably write a book on the things I've learned over that time, whether they be technical or more about attitude and mindset. In this rant I'veexpanded on a few of the things I've learned that I believe have made me a better lure fisher. You can get the full show notes from today's episode here: https://doclures.com/5-lessons/

It's a simple fact that many species of fish like to stay in close contat with structure such as aquatic plants, sunker timber, wrecks, pylons, rock bars and a million other types of habitat. Or, they like to hang in the shadows beneath overhanging branches, bridges, wharves or pontoons. For those species it is critical to get your lures deep into structure or you're unlikely to get the bite. As the saying goes "if you're not getting snagged, you're not fishing in the right places". So it follows that the two most important skills for a lure fisher are accurate casting and being able to retrieve a lure that gets hung up in structure. Today I'm talking to pro sportfishing guide Dan Selby about his strategies for recovering lures that have gone awry during the cast or have found a snag during retrieving or trolling.

Major flood events have unfortunately been a common occurrence across Eastern Australia over the past couple of years as a result of La Nina weather patterns - and the summer of 2022-23 looks like being more of the same. Much of this flooding has happened at times of year when rainfall is typically low, upsetting the "normal" hydrological cycles and causing fish to respond in some unusual ways. For many anglers this is a sign that it's time to hang the rods up for a bit and make a return to the water once the levels drop and the water clears. But in today's ALF episode we explore how fish respond to flood events in our rivers, estuaries and coastal zones, how to use that understanding to find fish and the styles of lures and techniques that can be effectve during an after flood events. Don't hang your fishing rods up, just use them differently, and in different locations! ___________________ Want more great fishing advice?
