Anglers Paradise

Rockhampton in Central Queensland may have awesome fishing opportunities with the new net free zones, but as Al quickly discovers it’s just as famous for being the beef capital of Australia. So, what better way to get Al to fit in with the locals than to ride a bull at the rodeo. Things don’t quite go to plan and suddenly just catching a fish becomes a real mission for one wounded cowboy!

Cairns is the adventure capital of the north and as Al quickly discovers is home to some great fishing opportunities. Taking on local legend Jack Strickland the challenge is set from the offshore reefs chasing big GTs before hiking into a wild country stream chasing the infamous jungle perch. With amazing scenery, big fish and a few dangerous encounters thrown in, it’s an adventure like no other.

Three plane rides bring Al and the team to one of the most remote parts of Papua New Guinea where no white has been before and it’s all for one thing – the infamous PNG Black Bass. Reputed as being the hardest fighting freshwater fish on earth, Al takes up the challenge in one of the wildest places on earth.
