The list: Heavy reels— 160g Jigs — 150lb Leader — 80lb braid — clients that fish — tides — patience After seeing a few of these fish now, and actively targeting them on charters. There’s so many things that need to go right to land for what some people try their whole life achieving. Such…
Ralph and mark , an entertaining combo, one a music fan, the other a CEO for a company building rollercoasters and resorts. Fellas couldn’t be more different… but the fishing brings them together. we fished for 30 minutes before a beach cook up. Leaving the ship, we had some marks off a headland with a…
Great conditions to round out the year with nomad – FNSF. Glass outs and winds less than 15knots made for some epic boating n glamour sunrises. Fishing from lizard island to port Douglas can sometimes be a more challenging charter, as the ribbons has now been a major focus point for fisherman in the last…

Spot tail bass. To be honest I didn’t know about these creatures until stumbling my way up some remote rivers on the island of new Britain, PNG the further we explored , the more of this fish we found, in particular, one river was absolutely littered with them, at every snag, moving in big schools,…
What a time of year! The runoff. Rain in the north delivers pretty consistently year to year with some bigger fluctuations. More rain and bigger wet events over the summer made for a prolonged run off period on the west coast of Australia’s cape. A later runoff made for a fun challenge to find where…
