What Can I Catch?
Where to Fish
Town stretch with snags and deep holes - golden perch on bait and small lures, best early morning and evening.
How to Fish Here — Rigs
A jighead with a soft plastic threaded on — the most versatile lure setup in fishing, worked slowly along the bottom for bream, flathead and snapper with a natural, bait-like action.
The simplest and most natural presentation rig in fishing — a sinker that slides freely on the line so a fish can pick up the bait without feeling any weight. Perfect for finicky biters like whiting, bream and mullet.
