Lure Fishing/Spinning
　　
Lure fishing is a great way of catching a whole range of fish species from trout to tuna and bream to barramundi, although there are any different styles of lures available they are all designed for a different use.
　　
Minnow Style Lures
　　
These are the lures that look like a small fish with a metal or plastic bib that protrudes from the bottom jaw of the lure, this is what gives the lure its action. Minnow lures come in a huge range of shapes and sizes aimed at catching a wide range of fish, they are ideal for nearly all trolling and casting purposes. eg; Barramundi, tuna, mackeral, flathead, bream, cod, trout, tailor and salmon.
　　
Soft Plastic Lures
　　
These lures catch a wide range of fish in fact almost every fish that will eat a hard lure will eat a soft plastic, this is especially so with species such as flathead. Soft plastic lures have several great features that make them stand out from other lures. The main ones being that with the lures being soft when a fish grabs the lure it feel natural so if it misses the hook on the first attempt it is more likely to try and eat the lure again.
　　
Other great features of soft plastic lures include that when they are fished slowly the rubber tail/s will still have an enticing swimming action. The main advantage of being able to fish these lures slowly is that it means that you keep your lure in the strike zone for longer Fishing with these lures requires the angler to work the lure slowly back towards them with short sharp twitches of the rod tip allowing the lure to settle each time before another twitch of the rod tip is made. Soft plastics are also great for fishing around snags as their single hook doesnÕt become snagged in the timber as often as lures with trebles.
　　
Metal Lures
　　
Designed to imitate baitfish these lures are ideal for fishing off the rocks and beaches as they are usually quite aerodynamic and heavy for their size which makes them ideal for casting long distances.
　　
Swimming actions on metal lures vary from strong swaying actions through to little or no action at all. They are ideal for many species especially fast moving pelagic fish such as tailor, salmon, queenfish, mackeral and all tuna species just to name a few.
　　
When using metal lures different retrieve speeds will appeal to different fish for example a slow to medium retrieve speed is very effective on tailor, trevally and salmon while a very fast retrieve is better for catching tuna, mackeral and queenfish.
　　
Australia has great beaches offering anglers a huge range of species to catch. Beach fishing can be a daunting affair when deciding where to fish, as a lot of areas donÕt hold or attract fish. What you need to look for is commonly known as a gutter. These run along various parts of the beach and are best distinguished by darker deep looking water, where the waves break on the ocean side of the gutter and usually don't break again until they are across the gutter and closer to shore.
　　
Gutters vary in size, shape and the distance that they are offshore, the best possible way of finding one is from a high vantage point such as a sand dune, from here the gutters will stand out clearly. These gutters are where the fish will move into to feed and seek shelter. The best times to fish these areas is around dawn and dusk and or a run in tide, once again berley will improve your results
