Now that winter is upon us it is definitely time to reflect on the season that has past. In all honesty I thought I had a shocker of a season due to failing to catch many of my favourite species (Kingfish and Jewfish) but realised this was occurred because of my new target, Bull Sharks. There are many times in rivers or on the beach that we have been completely blown away by the power of a fish only to be cut off within 30 seconds. This is usually the sign that a sha...

This season started a few weeks earlier than usual for us, normally the boys start to target Marlin off the rocks in late December through to March; but this season we couldn't wait. The last week of November saw us mobilise and start our trips to our favourite ledge on the NSW south coast. Bait was hard to come by, so that meant leaving the petrol pumps at home for the first few trips; as we focused on spinning Tackle International stickbaits and poppers....

Game fishing for tuna can be both rewarding and punishing, start times are much later; 7am on the wharf and out of the heads by 7:30am. This season I've targeted tuna three times  jumping aboard with "Ambition" and "Wahoo" out of Sydney, these two operators are some of the best in the business and they work hard to get us onto fish. On our first trip the game plan was power out 20 miles, then depoly the spread of lures and troll to Browns Mountain and beyond. We brou...

There aren’t many fish that can compare to the kingfish. Its speed and raw power often leave fishermen drooling for more, usually with broken lines and lost tackle.  And while there is a wide array of techniques used to catch this particular pelagic, few can compare to the thrill of catching them land-based. 

I’d had my sights set on catching a Kingfish since moving to Sydney earlier this year. Being new to the game and needing as much intel on technique, gear an...

As an avid angler one of my favourite species of fish to chase is the humble bream. A finicky fish that can test even the most competent anglers, the bream is not to be under estimated. I have recently relocated from North Queensland to Sydney, New South Wales, and have reignited my passion for the species. The Bream is a heavily fished species in Sydney and I have noticed in some areas more than others the bream won’t fall for the typical hook, line and sinker. Afte...
