Dale got hooked on fishing by his parents probably earlier than he could walk. These days, after spending over 15 years in the fishing tackle industry as well as several years as a fishing guide, he just strives to be on the water, or on the road, any chance he can.
I love to look through old photos and reminisce about epic trips, adventures and captures. A conversation recently turned to monster Dogtooth Tuna and a couple of proud photos came out… Well I’ve never caught a monster doggie myself, only a few pups, but I did have the unforgettable experience of helping to drag a…
Whether I’m fishing solo, or taking someone for a run, the reality of my boating is that 80% of the time or more, I launch and retrieve my boat on my own. This is basically because for a number of years recently I operated a single handed guided fishing business, which means that the breakdown…
Several years ago, Freshest Fishing Tours was born out of my love of fishing the Fresh Water and Estuary areas along the east coast of Australia. I combined that with the enjoyment I got when I took mates fishing and taught them a new technique or chased a new species and watched on as they…
The past few weeks have been interesting on the rivers, with virtually no rain the water is clean and clear and the fishing is very up and down. A couple of weeks ago I was quite easily finding large schools of small bait with the odd fish hanging around them but this past week there…
Well I’ll start with the slacker… Thats me. Because yes I’ve been fishing heaps, catching plenty, travelling a little bit, and telling no-one about any of it. I wont bother saying what I say every time about how I am going to try and get a bit of info up on a more regular basis…
Well I totally missed the opening of bass season locally, but I had a half decent reason, being at the 2018 Bass Australia Nation Grand Final at Lake Glenbawn. The winner of this final (who turned out to be Alan McNamara – a legend of aussie bass tournament fishing anyway), got a ticket to the…
So yeah it’s been a while… again. But Im seriously going to try and do this more often and tell you guys about new gear I’m using! Maybe if I keep it short and sweet I’ll get it out there more often, so thats going to be the purpose of this one – a couple…
As most of my clients who fish with me know, I spend a lot of time working at the local tackle store. In fact Im there a lot more than Im on the water… You know the old saying ‘Its a blessing and a curse…’, well I don’t think there is a truer saying for…
Well Glenbawn Dam turned it on in a number of ways for the BASS Australia Nation Event at the beginning of the month, but it was awesome as always!! Majority of the field got their limits and the fish really did come on a range of techniques – not just the ‘Deep Gulp’ bite that…
Its been another busy week with a heap of awesome people jumping on board and coming for a fish with Freshest Fishing Tours! The fishing has been pretty good too with lots of fish coming on board. We’ve been finding lots of fish in both the Bellinger and Kalang, but the Kalang has been a…
