Biography

Fishing got introduced into my life when i was around five years old when my dad took me up to our closest impoundment, Clarrie Hall Dam. It was here I landed my first Bass on a surface lure and from the moment I saw that water erupt around my lure on a silent glassy lake, I was hooked. After that first encounter I was obsessed with lure fishing. My passion grew and I continued to gain skills and knowledge from weekend outings to local impoundments and rivers. Further afield I began to target different species like trout on trips to the New England and impoundment barra at Awoonga and Monduran. The Richmond River was my learning and hunting ground where my love of Bream fishing with lures developed.

Nothing beats  casting over rock walls into tiger country with my favourite surface lure, the Bassday Sugapen.

In 2010 I entered my first bream tournament, The Gamakatsu Team Series on the Gold Coast. We   ended up in 2nd place. This was a fantastic result for our first comp and an unbelievable introduction into  the tournament scene. From this moment I was hooked on tournaments, and I have pursued them ever since.
Summer time means killer surface sessions which is my favourite type of fishing. Nothing beats  casting over rock walls into tiger country with my favourite surface lure, the Bassday Sugapen. I love  watching big bruiser bream coming up and smashing the surface lure in crystal clear water and then the battle that unfolds as you try to muscle them out of the structure. Another one of my favourite techniques is to use the Deep Atomic Crank in the Muddy Prawn colour and crank it hard up against rock walls which usually guarantees some serious attention from big blue nose bream.
I have been fortunate to be sponsored by Frogley’s Offshore and am blessed to be able to use the incredible high quality products they import. Please don’t hesitate to add me on facebook to ask any questions about fishing or any information about  the amazing tackle that Frogley’s Offshore distribute
