For those who have fished with bait their whole lives it can be difficult to come to terms with the idea that a soft plastic prawn is not only more fun to fish with than a live bait, but with a little practice will catch more fish and bigger specimens.  In the public edition of this episode I explore why soft plastic prawns leave live prawns in their wake. And in the members version I go on to explain how to choose, rig and work soft plastic prawns to maximum advantage.  _________________ Not a member?

In this episode of the Australian Lure Fishing Podcast, I sit down with Rory Benn-Clibborn from Perch Palm Lures to explore advanced techniques for fishing with soft plastic lures. Rory, an expert in finesse fishing, shares innovative methods that are rarely used in Australia but highly effective overseas. We kick off with drop shot rigging, a versatile technique allowing soft plastic lures to hover naturally above the bottom. Rory explains the setup, including the use of tungsten weights and straight shank drop shot hooks for increased sensitivity. Next, we delve into the Texas rig, perfect for shallow, weedy, or structured environments. Using a sliding tungsten bullet weight, this method offers a natural presentation and reduces snags, ideal for targeting species like redfin, bass, and golden perch. We then explore the Carolina rig, which adds a leader between the weight and the hook, making it excellent for open water fishing. Rory shares tips on using floating soft plastics to enhance this technique. Rory also introduces wacky worm rigging, where the lure is hooked through the middle, creating a unique fluttering action. This method is effective for casting under structures and targeting species like redfin and bass. Additionally, we discuss Ned rigging, a simple yet highly effective technique involving a mushroom-shaped jig head and buoyant soft plastic, perfect for catching a variety of species in different conditions. Throughout the episode, we cover practical applications and situational uses of these techniques, offering listeners valuable insights to adapt their fishing strategies based on local conditions and fish behavior. _____________________ Find this episode useful?

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/

Tripletail are more common around the northern Australian coastline than most people realise. They're just not a species that is captured by accident all that often, you usually need to go looking for them. And whilst tripletail are a popular sportfishing target in other countries, not as many sportfishers go looking for them in Australia as probably should. But before you head off and scarper around the ocean looking for triples, have a listen to this conversation with Ryan Stimson. What he learned will not only help you pinpoint where to find tripletail, but will give you a good I dea of what lures to throw at them and how to work them. _____________________ This is an ALF PLUS episode, an extended version with additional tips for narrowing down the times and places to look for tripletail is available to Team Doc Lures members, along with audio masterclasses, online tools and resources and tackle deals.

It's been a while since we have talked yellowbelly (aka Golden Perch) fishing on the ALF podcast, but today's episode will go some way towards righting that injustice.

Topwater flathead fishing has never been so brutal! In today's interview with Russell Babekuhl we discover a whole new side to the humble flathead that few people know exists. It's a style of shallow water, hand to fin combat where oversized crocs obliterate topwater lures and use their might to smoke the angler in oyster covered structure. The stories are more like what I expect from yellowtail kingfish or trevally fishos than those who target flathead. It's inspiring stuff! _____________________ This is an ALF PLUS Episode, so there is a members-only version with extra help for those wanting to target topwater flathead.

King George whiting are a popular target with bait fishers, but I'm not sure why they're not targeted more by lure fishers. They're the largest of our whiting and are more than capable of eating a small, well presented soft plastic lure. Repeat ALF podcast guest Bomber Farrell recently spent some time exploring Tasmania with a fishing rod and in no time found himself picking up KGW with reasonable consistency. So, in today's episode Bomber shares what he's learned, for those interested in giving King George Whiting on lures a crack.  __________________ For an ad-free version of this episode, please consider supporting the Australian Lure fishing podcast by joining Team Doc Lures.

Bluewater fishing has never been more accessible to recreational fishers, and today's guest has been taking full advantage of that situation. Kaspar Lenigas has been an avid bluewater fisho for many years and regularly fishes offshore for tunas and billfish anywhere from Cairns in the North to Tasmania in the south. In today's episode we focus on his home waters around South East Queensland, although many of the techniques and tactics are applicable wherever you target yellowfin.
