Despite massive fishing pressure, Moreton Bay remains a highly productive fishery, with snapper being one of the most popular targets.

The other is they use sonar to prospect large areas rather than narrowing it down first. In this episode I go through some strategies for eliminating dead water and focusing your efforts on the areas most likely to hold fish.

Which are best, wooden hard bodied lures, or plastic ones? Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and both can be deadly on fish of all kinds. I've made wooden lures for 40 years but wouldn't be without plastic lures, too. So if you've never used a timber lure, maybe it's time to see what the fuss is about!

The Nambucca, Macleay and Hastings River systems hold good numbers of trevally all year round - with multiple species on offer and some pretty hectic action at times. David Irvine loves to target these feisty sportfish on very light gear and a range of small lures.
