By former Murray River fisheries officer TREVOR SIMMONDS
Hogwash Bend is a good fishing area on the South Australian section of the Murray River.
It is accessible by road along the Waikerie-Cadell road. There is bank launching.
It is a popular spot for camping.
The many creeks upstream and downstream are productive for yabbies in summer, particularly during a falling river.
Callop are usually in good numbers in this area.
If buying a shrimp trap or yabby pot, be sure it complies with SA rules here.
For bait, earthworms work well, but you can’t beat locally caught live shrimp.
Here is a list of recommended tackle for the Murray River.
