The Latest Fishing News

The Fishing DVD #19 - February 2010
Summer fishing for trout in the highlands of Tasmania sounds rather idyllic doesn't it? We set off from home where the average temperature had been 30 degrees for the past week, looking forward to capturing some great images of tailing trout. Having been to the highlands before, I knew that we may just need some warmer clothes, and maybe a rain jacket. Have a look at this behind the scenes footage. >> BTS

We did get some good fish at Little Pine Lagoon, and seeing the fish so close to the bank in ankle deep water did heat the blood, if not the body. Chris Bassano then took us down to Strahan on the west coast of Tassie, promising to find us some trout in the most unlikely of scenarios - the surf beach was only a good cast away! These trout were extremely fussy and wary, and Peter really had to call on his vast experience to find the answers.

Pirtek Fishing Challenge

The Pirtek Fishing Challenge is on Sunday the 11th of April. Great Prizes are on offer, and the profits will go to help the Prostate Cancer Foundation to increase the awareness of prostate cancer in the community. Have a look at their website and join in.

Recreational Fishing Under Threat

Firstly, a very big 'thank you' to 595+ anglers who have to date sent an email to our elected leaders regarding the threat to recreational fishing. >> see email

As soon as we have received their reply, our political consultant will post on the site (in plain terms) what it all means with regard to you and your fishing. Those of you who have signed up for our Newsletter (above) will be notified by email. Or keep an eye on our home page.

The Service Charter of the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts states that they will respond to requests within 20 working days. We will let you know if we have not received any response to our email after the waiting period.

On a happier note, don't forget to take a few photos of your catch while it is still fresh, and send them in to us, we'd love to see them added to the new photo gallery.

Check out our latest batch of photos and emails on the Have Your Say page.

The Fishing DVD #18

If you are a subscriber, your copies of Fishing DVD #18 will be posted out on the 15th of February. The cover picture is from our "Sydney Estuaries Reborn" story. Chris Cleaver is holding a solid jewfish taken in the heart of metropolitan Sydney!
The 'Reborn' in the title reflects the parts played by various groups involved in fisheries management and the fishing licence scheme to achieve a sensational result.

For those who are not subscribers, the Fishing DVD #18 will hit the stands on the 1st of March at newsagents and tackle stores, or order online. Click here to subscribe.

DVD #18 - Story One

As always, as soon as one DVD is finished, we are hard at work filming the next.

One thing that I can tell you is that our first story for DVD#18 takes place in the most populated city in Australia!

As the commuter trains carry Sydney's population to work, not 10 metres away 'Starlo' and Chris Cleaver are into one of the hottest estuary sessions that we have ever filmed!

It is a great fisheries management success story, and a real lesson to the rest of Australia as to what can be done with our fish stocks. Kingfish, flathead, bream, tailor, trevally, jewfish - you won't believe their size nor the action!

Have a Great Christmas.
