SUMMER BASSIN – by Rob Paxevanos
Warm balmy days; cicadas singing in the air; escaping the busy boat ramps and heading up into the hills to with a good mate to catch the majestic Aussie bass… Does it get any better? -
Giant Shallow Water Kingfish – by Lubin Pfeiffer
Quite a few large kingfish had been patrolling the northern Spencer Gulf in recent weeks, so I thought it would be a great chance to get out and have a shot. The sea was like glass as the boat glided off the trailer and into the water; a short journey down the coast to the live bait grounds followed while the day grew hotter. -
FISH’N’TIP, Gearing up for monster trout – by Rob Paxevanos
I recently returned from my biggest Fishing Australia monster trout hunt yet - a carefully planned stealth mission deep into the remote South West Wilderness of Tasmania amongst beautiful but unforgiving country where getting lost, injured or bitten by the large tiger snakes hanging in the trees were all a strong possibility. -
SA Night Snapper – by Lubin Pfeiffer
After the opening of our snapper season the wind had prevented any outing for almost a couple weeks now, and the next mission was almost canned as we made it out of the mangrove channel in to a rather large and lumpy sea. -
Rippin’ Rap Callop – by Lubin Pfeiffer
The lower Murray has been having a great run of Callop (Golden Perch) for the last couple of months. With the added hot weather we’ve been having they are really active now and have been nailing Rapala Rippin’ Raps with gusto. -

Okuma Whitesands Tournament, 2011 – by Anthony Raco
The Jervis Bay Game Fishing Club’s Annual Okuma Whitesands Tournament was run and won over the last weekend in November. -
Big Tailor Late, but what an Entrance! – by Rob Paxevanos
A mate of mine Andrew Barnes was hitting Wagonga inlet at Narooma on the NSW South Coast for the first time, my advice if he wanted good numbers of hard fighting and great tasting fish was to target tailor and he had a ball-here is the brief I gave him before he headed out. -
