What Can I Catch?
Where to Fish
Quiet river bank with snaggy edges - golden perch on shrimp and small lures.
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.
