Hey Guys,
Ive logged onto this forum a few times, and thought it time I joined, so I can see the pics posted! Im a professional photographer living in Sydney, Oz. I grew up in Coffs Harbour, fishing for flatie, mack tuna, northern blues, blue grouper, snapper, kings.. from the stones as a kid and in my old mans boat, and also used to paddle out to the islands off the coast of coffs on an old surf ski.
I mostly spin, with ultralight for pelagics, livebait, and pop. Been making homemade poppers on my old mans lathe for years and used to popper fish with 15kg mono when I was a young fella....... yep, got blown away time after time. Ive caught many species on poppers, and love it!
Many trips to whitsundays popping as a kid, Solomon Islands, Cairns, Mission Beach, Cook Islands. I travel for work a fair bit these days and always take my gear! Almost all my rods are two peice these days.
After years of eating coral on the 15kg mona as a kid im loving the new gear available, and have a tokara 60, Xzoga jig rod and shimano 1800's with 80 and 113lb jigman.
Just gearing up at the mo for a trip to visit my sister in Mission Beach Qld for a months fishing.
