Back Ground:
I started fishing at the age of 5 years old with my parents and uncle's. We would go on an annual camping holiday to the Sunshine Coast, surf fishing and river fishing and also fishing and crabbing around my home waters at the Jumpinpin on the northern Gold Coast. Fishing is my passion and when ever I can I take the opportunity to get out on the water.
I started fishing ABT Bream Tournaments in 2004 after seeing a ABT live weigh in at the Gold Coast boat show. I have competed in ABT bream tournaments as a Amateur(Am), Kayaker, and in the Pro Division and have learnt so much by doing so and are still learning at each tournament.
I was introduced to the Pontoon 21 and Damiki brands of lures in 2010 at a Bream tournament. After using these lures for a short time I realised my fishing results have improved with 2 top ten super series finishes in the 2011 ABT Bream Series. Since this I haven't looked back and these lures will always play a major part in my tournament success.
