Your captain
I'm a third-generation fisherman and my passion for fishing began at the age of 6. I would spend my school holidays at my grandfather's fishing Westernport Bay. At the age of 14 I began my life commercial fishing out from Port Welshpool where I was able to do many different types of commercial fishing. I fished for crayfish, king crab, scallops, shark both net and longline, wrasse fishing both hand line and trap I even done some commercial barramundi net fishing up in Karumba. I spent years as a deckhand working these industries before moving away to the city for a break from it all. It wasn't long and I was a deckhand again. This time for a ferry company in Westernport Bay. Inter-island ferries, where I spent 3 and a half years doing. I then moved inland and worked in factories, but the pull of the ocean always drew me back to it. This time making a last move to Portland where I have had the opportunity to purchase a 10.5m Catamaran and start a fishing charter business of my own. There is nothing better than waking up and going to work where you are passionate about.
