Australian Lure Fishing

For anglers, Spring is always a very welcome season as we shrug off the cold and look forward to the warmth that brings increased fish acticity, topwater bites and so on. On the flip side, it's also a period of unstable transitional weather that can make fish a little unpredictable at times. Gun bass angler Keeghan Painter loves the opportunity to fish impoundments during the spring and in today's ALF episode he shares his favourite bass fishing haunts as the weather warms - with great tips for figuring out the challenging spring patterns! _________________ Keen to improve your fishing results?

The NSW Northern coastline is a superb destination for a great many prized fishing species, but few are so revered as the jewfish. Definitely one the country's more challenging fish species on lures, it's understandable that many keen jewfish anglers guard their knowledge closley. Today's guest Josh Annand isn't one of those though. He came onboard the ALF podcast to share what he's learned about targeting jewfish on lures from the stones - and he didn't hold back. ______________ Need help to catch more fish on lures?

The Brisbane River, and in particular the area around Port of Brisbane, fishes particularly well for quality threadfin salmon, with metre fish relatively common. We've covered this specis and location before on the ALF Podcast on a number of occassions.... but never from a kayak. So this is a very cool episode!

It really doesn't matter whether you love the bluewater, deep jigging, fly flicking, reef flats or a dozen other options, Exmouth has the lot! Today's guest has graced the ALF podcast three times previously, talking spangled emperor, sailfish and goldband snapper.

Sydney Harbour and Lane Cove River are two very busy waterways, and the fish see plenty of anglers and plenty of lures, which can make for some really tough fishing.

Regardless of your current skill level, there is a lot to be said for engaging with a sportfishing guide. If you're fishing away from your home waters you'll usually have very limited time to figure out the fish, the tides and conditions, but a day or two with a guide can quickly get you up to speed. Even on your home waters there is usually plenty that can be learned from someone who's livelihood depends on being able to guide their clients to fish day in, day out. I talk to a lot of fishing guides and also receive a lot of requests from ALF listeners who are looking for help to find the right guide for them. So I'm testing a platform for connecting my listeners with their ideal fishing guide. Check it out at https://doclures.com/guides/

Southeast Queensland is a fishing hotspot at any time of year because it's a melting pot where tropical and temperate species combine to create an incredibly diverse fishery.

Water temperatures, and in particular changes in water temperature, fundamentally affect how fish behave, where they hang out and what they eat. So it stands to reason that by undrestanding how fish respond to temperature we can get a better sense of where we'll find them in a water body and the lures and techniques that will catch them.

The NSW Mid-North Coast has more than it's fair share of fishing opportunities, with quality snapper being one of the most popular targets for inshore and offshore lure fishers. Sponsored angler Zac Panaretos moved to Coffs Harbour around 18 months ago after many years chasing snapper and other species in the Sydney area. He immediately found the need to upgrade to tackle with more stopping power as he consistently hooked impressive reds on soft plastics and jigs. Zac joins the ALF podcast to share his tips and learnings for targeting snapper on lures around Coffs. ___________ Want some extra tips and advice for catching more fish on lures?

Mick Hassett describes slow pitch jigging on the Great Barrier Reef as being like "sticking your hand in the lolly jar with a blindfold on". We could try to focus on a single species, but the fact is that slow pitch jigging is so devastatingly effective (often even more so than live bait) and the species list is so long that you never know what will grab your lure. So instead we've focused this interview on the tackle, the jigs and the techniques for getting the most out of this exhilarating style of fishing! ____________ There is a "PLUS" edition of this episode and it contains probably the juiciest part of the conversation: finding active fish and setting up your drift for best results.
