Threadfin Salmon – baits
Because Threadfin Salmon live in dirty water and have poor eyesight they have to rely on sensing prey with their very sensitive feelers so whatever bait you decide to use make sure that even at a slow speed they will be active with heaps of vibrations even when retrieved at a slow speed.
Moon phases – my understanding
I have set out my understanding of moon phases below together with an outline of what each phase mean to me in relation to my Barramundi fishing.
Threadfin Salmon
Threadfin are fantastic table and sport fish with big tails and plenty of vigor and would pull a similar sized salt water Barramundi backwards. They also have a well earned reputation of being finicky and difficult to catch.
Knots – FG knot how to tie
Since I perfected this tie of the FG knot I have not suffered a failure of the knot and it has accounted for heaps of big barra.
Make a soft plastic … catch a barra
These 5 barra above are all over a meter and have been caught in Lake Awoonga over the last 5 weeks on soft plastics that I rigged up in my own very personal way on soft plastics I poured myself in moulds for top pour soft plastics that I finessed and made myself.

2020 Venom – Lake Awoonga Open
On 29th September I was fortunate to be invited by Scott McAuley, who I have fished with socially on quite a few occasions, to partner up with him to fish the 2020 Venom – Lake Awoonga Open. Many thanks to Scott … I had a wonderful time and learned so much.
Fly colour choices – #10 weight tropical destination
This is a list of all the flies in my #10 weight fly box for temperate & tropical destinations sorted by colour.
Species – Mangrove Jack and Fingermark
They chase the same sort of food items as bream, grunter and flathead including prawns and shrimp, small fish, crabs, molluscs such as rock oysters and worms so it is not surprising that representations of prawns and small bait fish preferably tied on solid #2/0 or #3/0 hooks are great flies for mangrove jack and fingermark.
