Each spring, diehards from central Queensland to Gippsland in Victoria rub their hands together at the thought of ‘going bush’ and tangling with one of Australia’s greatest fishing icons. This icon, of course, is the Australian bass, and there’s no better way to target them in the beautiful freshwater creeks and rivers that are their native homes.
It’s well known that many freshwater predators including bass, Murray cod, barramundi, sooty grunter, jungle perch, saratoga and more eat frogs. It’s also well known that angers have been using frog imitation lures in order to fool these same species for years.
