Human beings are such visual animals. For most of us, sight is out primary sense, with the other senses playing second fiddle.

Other animals are different, of course. Dogs, pigs deer and numerous others have extremely good sense of smell and/or hearing. That’s pretty much accepted and we don’t really question that their primary sense isn’t vision.

But for reasons that escape me, anglers often assume that vision is the primary sense for fish. So I often get questions like “Really? Lures work at night too?” Or, “what’s the best colour lure for dirty water?”

The truth is that fish can be visual predators sometimes. But many species would starve if they relied heavily on eyesight. Dirty water, low light, turbulence, algae and make things hard to see in the fishes world for lengthy periods.

So fish use eyesight when they have that luxury, but they can do very nicely without it too. In this episode I explore how and why other sense make it easy for fish to find your lures even when they can’t see them.

Estuary perch are a terrific sport fish that is very accessible to anyone fishing the many estuary systems of south west Victoria. Whilst it’s not a super large species, the perch is a tough fighter and an aggressive lure taker, not to mention a spectacular topwater option on calm, balmy days.
