Winter Jewies!
As we enter the depths of winter, bitterly cold westerly winds have arrived with a vengeance, forcing many anglers to seek refuge indoors. Despite this, the rewards are there for those willing to brave the cooler conditions.
The winter months are typically one of the best times to target jewies on lures in the local estuaries. Whilst many things contribute to success in this game, focusing your efforts on three key factors will hold you in good stead.

Fly fishing: an introduction.
Have you ever thought of taking up flyfishing? Perhaps you thought it was too hard? Too
expensive? Too complicated? Too mysterious? Or maybe you thought it just made catching
fish too hard? The answer to almost every flyfishing question is that “it depends”. In the
case of most of these statements, they are not true. -
Going Nuts for Squirrels
While soft plastic fishing has really gained its traction in estuary and sweet-water lure fishing scenarios (and deservedly so!), I often feel that the humble hard bodied diver gets overlooked all too often when we delve into the arsenal of lures we tend to carry with us on a fishing trip these days. But lately, and […] -
Get out there!
With the recent pandemonium, and worldwide reshuffling that all of us have had to do due to this virus, we look forward, towards the light gleaming through the tunnels exit, and begin to ask the question… Where shall we go next? -
Everything eats a prawn!
That’s right, just about everything will eat a prawn… Including me! All jokes aside, prawns are a crucial food source for many of the fish that inhabit our estuaries. From the humble bream and flathead right up to the mighty mulloway and the yellowtail kingfish, prawns are on the menu at one time or another! With this in mind, one may logically conclude that tying on a prawn imitation isn’t such a bad idea… -
NaF Lead Free Sinkers
Currently in the world there is immense pressure to recognise and adopt sustainable new technologies in order to help reduce our impact on the environment.
The fishing tackle industry, strangely enough, is seemingly well behind the eight-ball in this field, with a high dependance on single use plastic in its packaging and the make up of its products, as well as many products containing lead, which is widely know as something we as humans try to avoid wherever possible. -
Burley, the key to catching
It is undeniable, that when bait fishing, the incorporation of burley into the system will inevitably result in more fish getting caught. Especially now, in the cooler months, fish often need that little bit more persuasion in order to get the munchies. -
Spring Kingfish in and around Sydney
With Spring here, it is only a matter of time before the word on the street gets around that big, hoodlum class Kingfish are beginning to prowl the headlands and inshore reefs. These fish are the pinnacle of our Sydney inshore fishery, and the months of September to December are prime time to chase these […] -
Lord Howe Island with Hayden & Jay
The plan to fly over and fish Lord Howe Island had been in the pipeline for many months, awaiting the perfect window of weather. October came around and the boys got a call from Scott Wilson, local commercial fisherman, islander and friend. He said the warmer water current had pushed down and onto the island and […] -
Yellowfin Tuna Action – Winter 2020
With Spring here, it is only a matter of time before the word on the street gets around that big, hoodlum class Kingfish are beginning to prowl the headlands and inshore reefs.

Flinders Reef with Jay and Rob Powell – November 2019
Expectations are always high for a trip like this, however as all anglers know, reality is often very different. This was certainly the exception! These reefs are located around 100-140nm from Cairns and as a result of their remote location are largely untouched by the human hand. -
Far North Queensland with Hayden – October 2019
Far North Queensland offers some of the best and most diverse fishing in Australia. Over 10 days in October 2019, we went on a trip of a lifetime with 8 mates, staying in a full-sized cabin, and equipment to handle anything the ocean threw at them.
