Avsnitt

  • I had the opportunity to sit down with high profile Aussie fisho Paul Wortseling and chat about his favourite Australian fishing destinations. There are few among us who have fished as many places as Paul, so this was always going to be a facinating conversation. I wasn't disappointed.

    For me, there were two standouts in this interview. The first was that it reiterated and solidified my view that Australia is truly one of the worlds premium fishing destinations. The second is Paul's appreciation and gratitude for the experiences he's had and his call to action for Aussie anglers to chase their fishing dreams.

    I hope this episode inspires you to to identify your fishing dreams and make them happen!

  • [REPOST] In this episode, I dive deep into the art of finding fish by observing nature's cues, a skill that transforms good anglers into great ones. From the subtle flick of a prawn to the shadow of a crocodile, I explore the secrets of reading water and wildlife to locate those elusive fish. Discover why a gathering of pelicans might signal your next big catch, how sharks can surprisingly be your ally, and why healthy ecosystems often hold the key to abundant fishing spots. Whether it's the dance of baitfish under the watchful eyes of birds or the significance of water currents and structure, I share tried and tested methods that promise to enhance your fishing adventures.

    Join me as I explore the significance of water color changes, the importance of 'fishing the edges' where aquatic worlds collide, and how to interpret the signs of life above and below the water surface to predict where fish might be lurking. Learn from the experiences of seasoned anglers who read the environment like a map, leading them to successful catches in both fresh and saltwater environments. From the billabongs of Cape York to the offshore waters of Australia, this episode is packed with insightful tips and fascinating stories that will not only improve your fishing skills but also deepen your appreciation for the natural world. Tune in to transform how you see the water and, most importantly, to find where the fish are hiding.

  • Obviously, the best time to go fishing is anytime you can get out on the water.

    But we all know that certain conditions tend to be more productive for lure fishos than others. And a common rule of thumb in fishing circles is: "If there's no run, there's no fun".

    Now, it's always a bit dodgy to take a single idea like this and apply it to all forms of fishing and all species of fish. So today we're exploring whether the "no run = no fun" rule fits every situation, and if so, how and why.

    After all, the more we understand about how fish respond to their environment the better we'll become at predicting their movements and behviours.

  • This is a repost of an early episode of the Australian Lure Fishing Podcast that was just so good it's definitely worth a re-listen (or two). Especially given the current timing with warm weather and river flows sparking some pretty hot mangrove jack fishing of late. Enjoy the episode!

Gold Coast resident and social media fishing personality John Costello has made it his mission to bring some of the areas largest jacks undone and in this episode shares some nuggets that are bound to improve your results on jacks, even if you're fishing places other than the Gold Coast.

  • This is a repost of the interview I conducted with Hodgie back in February 2021. Enjoy!

A former fishing TV presenter, Hodgie is well known as one of Australia's best trick casters, a fishing writer and a speaker at boat shows and expo's. Relocating from Tamworth to Townsville some years ago, he switched from cod to jacks and now has a reputation for taming the red dogs!

  • Tripletail are more common around the northern Australian coastline than most people realise. They're just not a species that is captured by accident all that often, you usually need to go looking for them. And whilst tripletail are a popular sportfishing target in other countries, not as many sportfishers go looking for them in Australia as probably should.

    But before you head off and scarper around the ocean looking for triples, have a listen to this conversation with Ryan Stimson. What he learned will not only help you pinpoint where to find tripletail, but will give you a good I dea of what lures to throw at them and how to work them.

  • [REPOST] Lake Conjola might not have the same profile as a trophy flathead fishery as nearby St Georges Basin, but it's nonetheless a top fishery for those targeting trophy fish.

  • It's been a while since we have talked yellowbelly (aka Golden Perch) fishing on the ALF podcast, but today's episode will go some way towards righting that injustice. Cooby and Cressbrook dams are two very exciting yellowbelly fisheries in South East Queensland, and well worth a visit if you're keen to tangle with yellas. Today's episode features repeat ALF guest, lure maker and yellowbelly whisperer Jason Ehrlich, who shares his tips and advice regarding lures and techniques for these two storages.

  • Topwater flathead fishing has never been so brutal! In today's interview with Russell Babekuhl we discover a whole new side to the humble flathead that few people know exists. It's a style of shallow water, hand to fin combat where oversized crocs obliterate topwater lures and use their might to smoke the angler in oyster covered structure. The stories are more like what I expect from yellowtail kingfish or trevally fishos than those who target flathead. It's inspiring stuff!

  • King George whiting are a popular target with bait fishers, but I'm not sure why they're not targeted more by lure fishers. They're the largest of our whiting and are more than capable of eating a small, well presented soft plastic lure.

    Repeat ALF podcast guest Bomber Farrell recently spent some time exploring Tasmania with a fishing rod and in no time found himself picking up KGW with reasonable consistency. So, in today's episode Bomber shares what he's learned, for those interested in giving King George Whiting on lures a crack.

  • Bluewater fishing has never been more accessible to recreational fishers, and today's guest has been taking full advantage of that situation. Kaspar Lenigas has been an avid bluewater fisho for many years and regularly fishes offshore for tunas and billfish anywhere from Cairns in the North to Tasmania in the south. In today's episode we focus on his home waters around South East Queensland, although many of the techniques and tactics are applicable wherever you target yellowfin. Start sharpening those hooks, this is a brilliant interview!

  • Love your topwater flathead fishing, or just getting started and thirsty for info to help you crack the code? You're going to love today's episode!

    Simon Cross' Crossfire Lures have become something of a phenomenon when to comes to cracking the code on big old girl flathead. In fact, they're surpassed only by Crossy's impressive knowledge and theories on flathead behaviour and how to get them to chew.

    In this episode Deathy does an awesome job of extracting gold nugget after gold nugget out of Crossy. Stuff that will help even experienced anglers catch more topwater flathead. And not just on Crossfire lures, either, although there is a well justified bias towards this lure throughout the chat.
