Field notes

Man-made saltwater lake connected to the Port River. Resident mulloway to metre-plus, bream and the odd salmon trout patrol the shoreline. Light-line lure water — comp anglers fish the bridges and breakwall pinches.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
