A Good Fishing Map Highlights The Best Spots

Fishing in both the coastal regions and on inland waters in Australia is excellent, despite its being such a dry country. Visitors, unfortunately, will be unfamiliar with the species and conditions, so will usually be unable to find all the best angling spots. Acting as excellent souvenir as well as a useful guide to that part of the coast, a Port Phillip Bay fishing map is a must.
There is some really fabulous angling available in this area, and it is worth travelling a long way for the experience. Fishing enthusiasts will certainly be rewarded for the effort, as this region is still relatively unspoiled due to low population densities.. It is also a very large bay, which means there is plenty of good fishing for all who come and there is very little competition between anglers.
Like fishing anywhere in the world, the sport here is seasonal. But here this is more a matter of a particular high seasons such as a huge influx of snapper at certain times, combined with good catches throughout the year. While many different species are caught, there are as always, certain species which prefer a particular location, snappers being very common here throughout most of the year.
Because the bay is so large, finding the best spots to fish can present difficulties. Seemingly ideal localities can yield disappointing results. Visitors would not have the time available to explore and get to know the optimum areas. This is where a map produced by a local expert indicating the best spots and species to be caught can be useful to fast-track the familiarization process.
Apart from just showing the optimum spots for certain fish, it is helpful if identifying features as well as any dangerous features are also included. No one wants to risk their lives unnecessarily simply through ignorance. Landmarks make it easier to locate the indicated areas in a landscape which can seem very strange to visitors.
Other important aspects which should form part of a map are the tidal state or the best time to fish particular spots. Results can depend on both these factors to a large extent. Lingering at a spot when catches are unlikely is very wasteful of the usually limited time available.
The right sort of information makes it possible to take advantage of the different spots as conditions there reach a peak, with very little time wasted at unproductive times. A range of both tackle and different baits can be carried to suit the preferred species being targeted. In this way, information can once more play a huge role in achieving success and enhancing enjoyment: unsuccessful trips have their place in the whole experience, but it is not worthwhile to travel long distances with little reward.
An experienced guide is perhaps the best solution. However, most anglers would prefer to be able to judge the validity of any advice given for themselves, and to take a more active part in any decisions, rather than rely completely on the expertise of a guide. A good quality Port Phillip Bay fishing map with detailed annotations will provide just that extra bit of knowledge to be able to judge the true worth of any decisions.
