One thing I have always used to do down south is change to worms (really havent experienced much rain since moving to QLD in 04) and fish near where runoff enters the river, used to be great for trout and perch in the fresh but used to catch some monster bream on Scrubworms straight after the rain as well. Flooded backwaters used to be a spot I'd frequent as well.

hi faulked look for sheltered areas ie under bridges , over hangs any where the rain isn t falling ive found thats where the bream and other fish like to go when it rains and a good down pour will flush the prawns out

I have allways found where the tidal spot meets is a good spot. Where the brown water meets the clean water.

Tweed River mouth comes to mind, on the incoming tide the water is so distint it looks like there is a dividing wall between the water. I got a GT there once on a hook full with about 6 yabbies on my old beach rod. When the fish hit, the reel spun so hard it just about snapped my wrist. But I landed him. Good spot to run lures through too.

my local creek ussually fires up with the bream with the rain. i just sit out from the little feeder creeks where all the shrimp and stuff are getting flushed out flick little lures out...i get some really nice quality bream most rainy days..once i had a awesome session in the rain up here with 26 legal bream landed on the same lure!...

Feral you young pup :whistle: on a different note always fish the change of water color just down stream works the best

Gaz

in the river look for drains and fish the edge of the water change
