Overview: about freshwater longtom
Sleek, sharp-toothed predator found in freshwater rivers and billabongs of NSW, QLD and WA. Target with small lures or live baits like tiny fish or crustaceans in 1-5m, particularly at night when they're most active. Nocturnal habits make them a challenging but rewarding catch for anglers willing to fish after dark.
