When did the love of fishing grab you and was there someone that got you into it?

From a very young age with my dad and other family members, it has been a big part of my family for a lot of years before me.

What was the style of fishing that you did when your first started fishing?

Baits and live baits. When I was a little kid, it was anything from live worms for bass to prawns or strip baits for bream and flathead.

What (e.g. escapism, competition, connection with people/nature) does angling give you?

Fishing gives me a lot of joy. I really love targeting specific species in specific ways, and the time and trial and error are a massive part of why I love doing it. You never stop learning, and the fish are constantly changing their habits and moods, so it never gets boring. I also love the solitude of the outdoors in remote locations at all hours through the day and night.

Who or what inspires your angling?

Constantly trying to upgrade PB’s and new ways to catch different species. I am also inspired by my fellow Daiwa anglers who also push the limits.

What has been your favourite moment/memory in fishing?

There have been countless, but a recent one would be a true XOS mulloway on a beautiful midday lure session and watching it eat in the shallows.

What’s your angling goals for the future?

80cm snapper off the rocks in my local area.

What advice would you give to new anglers entering the sport?

To enjoy the trials and tribulations of really learning a species. There is no one rule for anything, so persistence is the biggest key to success. All your failures lead to success if you can learn from them.

What can we do as anglers to make our sport and the industry better in the future?

Fish sustainably. Release what you can’t eat, and making sure there are fish for our kids to catch. Also being mindful of the environment and the impact we have on it with what we leave behind.

What does the Daiwa brand mean to you?

Daiwa to me is a true embodiment of feeling alive, the product they produce is second to none and truly allows me to push the limits of my fishing knowing the quality of what I am using is not going to let me down when I connect to the fish I have been chasing.
