Quick Tips

MeGoFish Pro Tips

01

Match the Hatch

Use lures and baits that imitate what the fish are naturally eating in that area.

02

Watch the Tides

Moving water triggers feeding. Fish the tide changes for barramundi, flathead and reef species.

03

Travel Light

A small selection of proven lures is better than a tackle box full of never-used gear.

04

Check the Weather

Wind, swell and barometric pressure affect fish behaviour. Plan your trip around stable conditions.
