Description
If you love fishing, this is your book.
FISH FINDER is Australia’s most detailed fishing book, with micro maps of rockbars, reefs and wrecks, landbased and boating hotspots, holes, launch sites, river crossings and other important fishing access points.
The book covers most of the mainland coast, and is particularly detailed in the remote north where locals call it ‘the bible’.
FISH FINDER has the information you need to catch one (or more!) of the dozens of $10,000 barramundi released each year for the NT’s Million Dollar Fish promotion.
The book also has information about many other lucrative fishing competitions.
As well as revealing spots in detail, FISH FINDER explains regional fishing conditions, including weather, tides and seasonal fishing.
FISH FINDER’s NT coverage includes special detail on the famous Roper, Mary and Daly Rivers, including hazardous rockbars.
For the NT mob, the 15th edition has more Shady Camp rockbars.
There is a superb bathymetric map of Darwin Harbour with a Lat-Long grid for taking GPS marks off any feature that looks fishy. Just about every patch of reef is revealed.
For Queenslanders, there is exclusive multi-page aerial low-tide photography on Ayr, Mackay and Townsville creeks and rivers.
Readers have a chance to win one of two fantastic Lowrance HDS9 units (NOTE: One has already been won).
