'Your guide to fishing success'
Why was this series created?
Hey!
It's me, Rhys.
This series was created to help you succeed, catch more fish and enjoy your time on the water. It was born out of the lack of quality information and content about lure fishing, especially when targeting giant Murray Cod in lakes and dams.
I grew up as a young bloke and couldn’t find quality answers to all my questions about fishing… so with this I decided to learn as much as I could and share it with the world!
After watching this series you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to succeed in your fishing trips and you’ll be amazed at how much more enjoyable fishing is once you know what to do!

Just wanted to say to Rhys and the team at Social Fishing, what a fantastic job you have done on the Complete Guide Series. Can’t help but think I’m watching prime time TV. Great job on the quality of production that is jam packed full of tips and info. Have helped me go from pot luck fishing to now seeing consistent catches.
Graham Osborne - Complete Guide Student
The ‘Complete Guide – Lure Fishing Series’ is packed with excellent educational fishing tips, advice and is very affordable. I highly recommend this series for all anglers from beginners right through to the experienced. It has taught me so much about freshwater fishing, I highly recommend it.
Andrew Baker - Complete Guide Student
I’ve fished Blowering Dam since I was a young bloke and have never managed to crack a metre Murray Cod. I decided to purchase and watch the Complete Guide Lure Fishing Series and headed up to the dam for cod opening. I managed to land my PB Murray Cod at 117cm using the trolling techniques from the series. Great tutorial videos by the Social Fishing team!
Charles Cribb - Complete Guide Student
I wish I had these types of videos and information when I was younger. I really enjoyed the videos so far and to be honest I don’t think I’d change anything about them. I love the in depth explanations on all the lures and techniques.
