Background
I grew up on the Gold Coast and when I was 10, my parents bought me my first tinnie. It had a little 6 HP motor and I used to scoot around the coast and always bring home a feed. It's been a life-time love. I have created a business around this love. I thoroughly enjoy taking people to my favourite fishing spots. The fish species on offer on the Coast is so varied, which always creates an interesting day out.
Techniques
I really enjoy targeting flathead in the shallows; trolling hard bodies and casting plastics, as well as working lures in deeper water chasing cod and snapper.
