Australian Lure Fishing

I had the opportunity to sit down with high profile Aussie fisho Paul Wortseling and chat about his favourite Australian fishing destinations. There are few among us who have fished as many places as Paul, so this was always going to be a facinating conversation.  I wasn't disappointed. For me, there were two standouts in this interview. The first was that it reiterated and solidified my view that Australia is truly one of the worlds premium fishing destinations. The second is Paul's appreciation and gratitude for the experiences he's had and his call to action for Aussie anglers to chase their fishing dreams.  I hope this episode inspires you to to identify your fishing dreams and make them happen! ______________________ This is an ALF PLUS episode, and Paul reveals a 6th (and his favourite) Aussie fishing destination in the extended members-only episode.

Obviously, 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 why.  After all, the more we understand about how fish respond to their environment the better we'll become at predicting their movements and behviours.   Full show notes at https://doclures.com/best-times-to-fish/
