Almost five million people fish in Australia, making it one of our most popular pastimes. It is diverse as Australia is big and caters to all types. You can go hardcore and chase giant bluefin tuna in the wild and woolly Southern Ocean, or stalk a wily trout on a fly in a high country stream. You can literally fish anywhere for just about anything – from a boat, a wharf, fishing off the rocks, up a creek, or out to sea and you are always in with a chance of catching something. It is this diversity that makes fishing so exciting and challenging and Al is here to inspire you to get out there and give it a go with the confidence of learning from one of Australia’s best!
