BUCKET list fishing is a dangerous and expensive obsession and there’s no doubt that my time living and fishing in Australia fueled the desire to catch as many of the world’s amazing fish species as my wallet would allow. I’ve been lucky enough to tangle with some of those iconic freshwater predators that were once just the stuff of Boy’s Own fishing tales, including the golden dorado of Argentina, the peacock bass of the Amazon and the toothy paraya of the mighty Orinoco river in Columbia.

SINCE I was a kid luderick have remained with me. I’ve held up my bat to acknowledge the half-century, and now in my 50s, the fish I catch (and now also release) more than any other is my purple-hued, stripey vegan buddy. I say he’s vegan but that’s not entirely true. Every year in spring when the days here in Sydney start to reach the mid 20s again, I resume throwing lures around like an idiot, for more carnivorous targets.

THE coastal strip running north from Byron Bay to the Queensland border is known as the Tweed Coast. This once quiet area it is rapidly transforming into an upmarket residential area as well as a popular holiday destination. Apart from the recent addition of several modern housing sub-divisions and shopping precincts, a major hospital is in the final stages of construction which indicates the area is looking at further expansion.

I’VE been a land based lure fisherman for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest childhood fishing memories involve tossing small Wonder Wobblers at Lake Tabourie tailor from the bank back in the early ‘70s. Ten years later I was a mad keen land based game spin man. We cast small metal slugs and white barrel sinkers at bonito and frigate mackerel using 2 kilo mono on ABU baitcasters.
