25.01.2022 Prepped, ready and rigged. Aiming for a 6/6!

24.01.2022 This weeks 3rd round of the Native Watercraft Kayak Series sends us to the iconic North Pine Dam for the Okuma Australia North Pine Open, this will be the first... tournament of its kind on the waterway and we are super excited for the lucky anglers competing. With restrictions to entering the PRFMA location, you won't be able to come and watch, but if you would like to see the live-stream here are the scheduled times for this event.

24.01.2022 Last chance today for a Pre-fish at Lake Macdonald before Round 1 of @bassaustralianation kayak series. Up until today fishing had been very tough. I went back to some old favourites, persisted and came up with 7 including a 45cm model. Great confidence going into R1 in two weeks #lakemacdonald #bassfishing #bassaustralianation @ Lake MacDonald, Queensland

23.01.2022 Tough trip to Lake St Clair for the final @bassaustralianation kayak AOY round. I managed one in the first session on the #noriesinletshad run on the PML jighead. I was happy to work out a technique though the second session was canceled and the final too windy to fish. Well done to those who braved the conditions @nativewatercraft @berkleyfishing_anz

19.01.2022 Cheeky cod at Wyaralong. They’re growing up well. #ecogear #ecogearaustralia #wyaralongdam #maryrivercod #wyaralong

19.01.2022 Great way to finish the year with a 2nd at the Yak Hunters Moogerah Dam Elite Series. With a tough start to the year it was great to brave the wind and achieve 2nd place. Keitech - Australia easyshiner was the stand out for me. Thanks to #ricksfishonplastics for the prize pack and Yak Hunters Australia for putting on the event! @ Lake Moogerah Caravan Park

18.01.2022 Toga on the wiggle bomb. @chasebaits_australia @chasebaits_usa #lakemacdonald #bassfishing #wigglebomb #chasebaits @ Lake MacDonald, Queensland

18.01.2022 A week ago saw the end of the #bassaustralianation kayak series. It was a bittersweet end to the year coming 7th in the final and catching a new PB. After a poor start at Lake MacDonald and on the Clarence I am proud to have finished strong amongst some of Australia’s top Bass Anglers. Congratulations go to Al on his AOY and Pete for the championship win. Many lessons learnt from these two top anglers who dedicate everything for the dream. Also big thanks to my wife, @sharneilshapland for touring with me and the lads for making the trips enjoyable and the campsite chaotic #nativewatercraftaustralia

18.01.2022 Plenty of distance to cover and plenty of rapids to dodge this weekend at the Bass Australia Nation Kayak round 2 on the Clarence River. Hopefully I can bring in 6 legal fish to weigh-in and complete my first goal of a top ten finish. #nativewatercraft #AustralianBass #BassAustraliaNation

18.01.2022 Hot Bite Fishing are killing it with their new range of bass spoons for #somersetdam at the @somersetfishingtackle stand @lureandflyexpo #bassfishing

17.01.2022 Product Review: GC canal bashing. I’ve used the Nories Inlet Shad a few times now with good success, from this Tarpon to finger mark. My reflections are; 1. You’ll need a jig head with head weight to keep the body sitting up right, don’t use a jig head with an insert weight, a small 1/12 ounce will do to creat movement. 2. The tail moves/wiggles tighter than Zman slim swim and has a killer body shimmer/roll creating a solid reaction bite. I find them very responsive on a slow roll and while using them as a flick bait. #nories #noriesinletshad #jmlanglersalliance @goldcoastfishingfanatics

17.01.2022 It’s show time!

05.01.2022 Over the weekend I joined a few mates at #clarriehalldam for the first kayak Bass Open. Although I couldn’t convert the bites I bagged one and continued my by-catch legacy. Cheers lads for a weekend of laughs Spida Sports #australianbassfishing
