Freshwater Fishing

Whether in a South Island salmon lake or North Island river, there is one common behaviour shared by New Zealand freshwater fish - a penchant for structure.

Our natives are hardwired to find submerged timber, weed beds, creek beds, boulders and pylons, zones which not only offer cover, but harbour baitfish also. With Lowrance sounders, clear and easy visibility of these areas leave fish with nowhere to hide.

"Without my sounder I probably wouldn't have got to this spot, or caught this fish."

Avid Murray cod angler Darren Weda explains how he uses his sounder to identify fish holding areas. Being in zones with the right depth, water temperture and structure are critical to keeping the confidence up when targeting monster cod.
