I grew up in the Coffs Harbour region and have a passion for light tackle lure & fly fishing in the many local estuaries & rivers. I have a passion for a varied range of fishing my local area has to offer so I’ll often be throwing lures around the estuaries one day, and offshore chasing snapper the next.
Ive spent about 15 years in the fishing tackle industry and have over 20 years experience fishing and exploring our local area. And in between that I’ve been lucky enough to travel from just about top to bottom of the east coast of Australia, fishing and exploring along the way.

Mirag’in is a custom 5.4m Stessco Mirage, powered by a 175hp Suzuki 4 stroke. It’s the current Freshest Fishing noble steed and it hauls us around at close to 100 clicks when she has a full tank of fuel…
But she’s a greedy old thing and needs to keep her throat wet when ringing her neck… So we normally take it a little easier on her to save the odd litre here and there.
