Hey @davidlowe1975, glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the kind words. A favourite for me when fishing brackish water is gold colours as they catch the light, without being too flashy, along with browns and greens. They are a dynamite presentation for targeting bass, estuary perch, golden perch and redfin, as well as all of the bread and butter saltwater species. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey @fish4life.877, Hope you're finding a few fish. Try pointing the rod out straight and then lifting the rod up through a 45 degree arc in 4 steps, with your wrist also lifting the rod up at each step. So it's like stop motion photography. The arm moves up a little as the wrist also twitches the rod tip up a little and this continues with each step. The lifting is drawing the plastic along, while the twitch with each step of the lift is adding additional movement that seems to get the bites. You can try this close to the boat or shore also to see how the plastic reacts in the water, attempting to provide maximum action and movement, without ripping the plastic out of the strike zone. Hope this helps. All the best with the fishing. Cheers, Justin
Hey @garybrownfishing8574, the bridge pictured is the iconic Story Bridge, located in the heart of the Brisbane CBD. Many Australian cities are built around rivers that produce some great fishing for anglers both land-based and on the water. We hope you're getting stuck into a few. Cheers, Justin
Great session guys, love your tips. What colour vibes can you suggest for brackish water? South west Victoria based.
