Part of the Australian Saltwater Fishing series
Fishing the estuaries is Australia's most popular form of angling. Young or old, novice or expert, almost every Australian casts a line into an estuary at some time. We are all attracted by the peace and tranquility of the estuary, and buoyed by the chance of catching a fresh fish. Yet while many of us achieve the peace and harmony, not all of us manage to catch that fish dinner.
This guide to fishing the estuary is not merely an A-Z account of how to catch a fish. It explains in detail how the estuary system works, how fish react within the system and how you can find those fish.
Includes information on:
- the estuary system - how estuaries are structured, the influence of tides, wind and weather, the physical features common to estuary systems
- estuary species and their habits - why they seek specific areas, their feeding habits
- techniques for estuary fishing - where, why and how to fish the estuaries
- estuary baits - the best baits and how to find them, using lures and flies
- basic tackle needs
- looking after your catch - cleaning, cooking or releasing your fish.
