What is the priority in lure fishing?
Hi,
Just wanted to ask, when heading out to fish for bream on lures, or any fish for that matter. What is the first thing that you guys look at? Is it time of day (sunrise, afternoon or sunset), or is it tide? I ask because sometimes an opportunity to fish arises but the conditions may not be ideal, like having a rising tide in the middle of the arvo for example. Ideally, the sunrise/sunset and rising tide would be perfect for me, but is there a priority of one over the other? Hope that question makes sense! Thanks |

The Mrs diary.
If the Mrs and kids haven't got anything in the diary, that's my que to make a dash to the lake with the kayak or boat dependant on length of the leave pass. I don't worry to much about what the weather, tide, time of day or what Punxsutawney Phil says. |

You can catch bream all tide stages and all times of day and night as long as you're putting your lure where the fish are and keeping it in the strike zone. I'll vary where I go to catch them based on time of day and tide stage but I go out when the opportunity presents irrespective of conditions

As a rule of thumb i always suss out the surface first before developing the plan for the rest of the day. If its early enough and their taking topwater i wont deviate until the action dictates a change in tactics (firstly moving to an edge bite, then dropoffs, then deep water).
The angle has more to do with presentation than most people give it credit for, most of the time when i get an opportunity to fish tide changes unfortunately (however important) they play a secondary role.

As above look for drop offs and structure etc. Tides are a factor but if you are tossing your lure into some good looking structure you have more chance of hooking a breambo regardless of the tide/sun/moon.

No matter the tide, wind, hail, the moon - there is always someone who brings a 5kg bag to a weigh in
That's what keeps me going |

My priority for any style of fishing is dawn. The fish are generally active, I'm too eager to stay in bed, I get a couple of hours when the family don't miss me, the tourist fishos are sleeping...There may be other times that produce more fish (not many) but you should never measure the success of a fishing trip by the number of fish you catch.

Alex is spot on! Just get out when you can mate, you will probably be surprised at the conditions when you catch the big boys

The first thing you should consider is how pretty your tackle is, the rest is negligible

i,d say tide over time of day, rising tide gives fish access to areas to feed flats,oyster racks,mangroves they can only get there twice a day,run out same amount of fish less water deep holes,drop offs,current breaks.

Tide for me. Love a good high tide. Flats, surface, leases.... That's when all the good stuff happens.

I have heard a few things but in regards to tide if it is high the bream will be feeding on the flats eating all the food that wasn't underwater before and when low tide they will be out on the dropoff like flathead, they want to ambush the predator.
Also I have an almanac and it gives a rating out of 10 for the day and the major and minor bite times. This is really helpful and is hardly ever wrong! However dawn and dusk are the best times for fishing no matter what.
