Background: Like most anglers, I started at young age bait fishing with my family and friends. As the years progressed and I came of age to get my licence and some freedom, my fishing time escalated. I purchased my first boat in 2006 and fished the Jumpin Pin area targeting flathead, alternating between baits and lures. I have been hooked on lure fishing for two years and can’t get enough of it. Today I am right into kayak fishing, a Hobie outback for competitive and social fishing anywhere and everywhere and a Viking Ozzie for those skinny water Bass sessions.

Ambitions: In 2012 I hope to continue with all the Kayak tournaments and enter some of the non-boater ABT rounds, both as a non-boater and boater.
Favourite fishing areas: Anywhere basically, as long as there is a bit of structure and I can get a lure in there, it’s all good. Canals, rock walls, flats and weed beds, shallow reefs, bridge pylons etc are some of my preferences.
Favourite lures: Pontoon21 Crackjack 48 MR and SR, funa, the new tiger range
