Fish smarter with moon phases, seasonal species guides, and the best times to wet a line across every state.
Shop Fishing Gear →Snapper — Peak season in Port Phillip Bay and Spencer Gulf. Target 10-20m reefs on the run-in tide. Australian Salmon — Massive schools run along the Victorian and SA coasts. Great fun on light tackle from the beach. Flathead — As waters cool, flathead move into estuaries. Soft plastics on 1/4oz jig heads are deadly.
Bream — Winter bream fishing in estuaries is world-class. Target structure with small hard-body lures. Calamari — Squid jig season peaks in winter. Hit the weed beds at dusk. Trout — Lake and river trout fishing is open season. Fly fishing in Tasmania and the Victorian Alps is at its finest.
Fly Fishing Gear →Barramundi — The iconic Top End species. Run-off season brings barra into creeks and floodplains. Kingfish — Yellowtail kings stack up around headlands and FADs from Sydney to Adelaide. Tuna — Southern bluefin off Portland, VIC. Yellowfin off the NSW continental shelf. Epic game fishing.
Game Fishing Lures →Excellent fishing. Stronger tidal movement, fish feed more actively. Night fishing for squid and bream is particularly productive around the new moon when there's no moonlight competing with your glow sticks.
Big tides equal big fish movement. Predatory species like snapper and jewfish feed hard on the full moon. Fish the tide changes — the hour either side of high and low tide are prime windows.
Smaller tidal range, more predictable conditions. Good for estuary fishing where extreme tides can muddy the water. Target sheltered spots and focus on dawn and dusk bite windows.
A 7-foot medium-action spin combo covers 80% of Australian fishing. Pair a 2500-3000 size reel with 10lb braid and a fluorocarbon leader. Done.
Shop Combos →Circle hooks, soft plastics, metal slices, and squid jigs. A compact tackle box with these four categories handles most situations from beach to boat.
Shop Tackle →Download your state's fishing app — VicFish, NSW FishSmart, or Qld Fish ID. Know your bag limits and minimum sizes. A tape measure and de-hooking tool should be in every tackle box.
