Shannons Fishing
G’day, I’m Shannon.
Fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up fishing rivers down in Victoria, learning old-school techniques from family—methods that were passed down, proven over time, and still work today if you do them right.
Over the years, that turned into a serious passion. I’ve chased fish all over Australia, from quiet river systems to offshore waters, and more recently spending a lot of time fishing the Great Barrier Reef. Along the way, I’ve put in the hours—early mornings, late nights, and plenty of trial and error—to figure out what actually works.
This site is where I break it all down.
Everything you’ll find here is based on real experience—not theory, not guesswork, and not copied from somewhere else. If I’m talking about a rig, a bait, or a technique, it’s because I’ve used it and seen the results.
I also run the Shannons Fishing YouTube channel, where I film my sessions and capture what’s really happening out on the water. From surface action to underwater Strike Cam footage, the goal is to show not just how to catch fish—but why things work the way they do.
You’ll find:
- Proven fishing techniques
- Real-world rig setups
- Bait and gear breakdowns
- Behaviour insights from actual footage
Whether you’re just getting started or chasing bigger, smarter fish, the aim is simple—help you catch more and understand what you’re doing out there.
No hype. No shortcuts. Just solid fishing knowledge that works.
