It got me thinking and researching - then sharing my conclusions. Let me know what your thoughts.

Local gun Aaron Papas reckons a lot of people overlook the tributaries of this massive estuary system, and that there's tons of missed opportunities as a result.

In todays ALF episode I go off on a random chat about how fish think (or don't think) as the case may be. We find out why thinking like a fish might be exactly what some anglers already do and not the most effective or productive way to spend your fishing time. Intrigued? Have a listen and let me know what you reckon (ie show me that you're thinking).

Squidding is ever popular right around Australia - and today's ALF guest Tri Ton has been a keen "Egithusiast" for a couple of decades. And why not? It's fun, they're tasty and are a sustainable fishery.

I really enjoyed this interview because I definitely learned a couple of things from my guest - and I thought I had a reasonable idea when it comes to squid. Always great to learn new stuff!

When it comes to SEQ Aussie bass fishing there's no doubt that Lake Wivenhoe is a Brisbane anglers playground. Large and productive, it's a system where cricket score catches of bass aren't uncommon and a large proportion of the fish are over the magic 50cm mark. Fish pushing close to 60cm aren't common, but are certainly on the cards. 

Today's guest, Niki Sticklen has been fishing SEQ for bass for around 10 years. Living close to the lake, she and husband Luke hit Wivenhoe at every opportunity.
