Todays episode of the Australian Lure fishing podcast was inspired by repeat ALF guest Dick Pasfield, who asked me the question "Why is it that barra and threadies have such different tails when they feed in the same areas on the same bait?" It got me thinking and researching - then sharing my conclusions. Let me know what your thoughts. _____________________ If you like these sorts of episodes, you're going to love the livestream I'm doing with Dr Ben Diggles about the fish's sense of smell, lure scents and how we can use the science to improve out lure fishing.
