Australian Lure FishingBest Times To Fish (No Run = No Fun) With Greg VinallObviously, the best time to go fishing is anytime you can get out on the water. But we all know that certain conditions tend to be more productive for lure fishos than others. And a common rule of thumb in fishing circles is: "If there's no run, there's no fun". Now, it's always a bit dodgy to take a single idea like this and apply it to all forms of fishing and all species of fish. So today we're exploring whether the "no run = no fun" rule fits every situation, and if so, how and...2024-02-2236 min

Australian Lure FishingTwo behaviours of fish that every angler should understand with Greg VinallWhy is it that some fish can be attracted to a lure, whilst others are afraid of it?

Australian Lure FishingEpisode 604: The Myths Of Lure Vs Bait Fishing With Greg VinallThere seems to be a growing snobbery around the topic of lure fishing vs bait fishing. Yep, I gravitate toward lure fishing, but surely there is room for both. I'm not sure exactly why that is, but some of the commentary would suggest that elements of the lure fishing fraternity see bait fishing as being an "easy" way to catch fish. And by inference, lure fishing must therefore require more skill and those who catch fish on lures must be better anglers. I'd argue that bait fishing is easier for beginners to get results, and p...2023-04-0641 min

Australian Lure FishingEpisode 564: Fishing During Floods With Greg VinallMajor flood events have unfortunately been a common occurrence across Eastern Australia over the past couple of years as a result of La Nina weather patterns - and the summer of 2022-23 looks like being more of the same. Much of this flooding has happened at times of year when rainfall is typically low, upsetting the "normal" hydrological cycles and causing fish to respond in some unusual ways.
