How to - Catch marlin off the rocks
There are few niches in fishing that require the mental endurance, and sheer line hours spent for every encounter, let alone capture, like that of Land Based Game fishing (LBG).

How to - Find big flathead in the shallows
Spring time is croc time!
As the winter chill fades, water temperatures in the estuaries are starting to climb. As a result, we should see a spark in activity from a number of species, one of which being the humble dusky flathead. At this time of year, flathead begin to congregate in the lower estuary in preparation for breeding through the summer months. Rock walls, deep channels and drop offs all hold their fair share of fish, but it’s in the shallows (5’ and under) where the best sporting opportunities lie!

How to - Fish the washes
As the cool Westerly winds begin to chill us to the bone, as a rock fisherman, my mind starts to drift from summertime pelagics, to the local wash zone.
That small strip of whitewater surging between boulders, up gutters and over ledges.
This is the home of those stocky, broad shouldered brawlers that I love, The Black Drummer, Rock Blackfish, or simply Pig. -
How to - Summer Flats Fishing
Towards the end of spring and the start of summer is a great time of year to
get the shorts on and start walking the sand flats. With the water warming to
18°-25° in summer your estuary specials like, Whiting, Bream and Flathead will
be in the peak of their active feeding.
