Greetings and welcome to my new page
Like many keen anglers I am always seeking new frontiers where the fishing is better, bigger or just different. I made my first trip to the Coral Sea Reefs in 1996 and, like most who have been, it has become an addiction for me.
The fresh unpolluted air (the closer reefs are over 300km from land), the absolutely crystal clear water (50+m visibility) and the incredible abundance of marine life create an amazing environment unequalled in coastal Australia.Because of their location, these reefs are almost exclusively the domain of long range charter vessels which make their voyages when weather permits, usually during the non-cyclone months of April - November.
I have been involved with several successful charters to the Coral Sea reefs and have learnt much about this unique place and its inhabitants.

What to take and how to fish
I have received a number of enquiries and requests as to my thoughts on different aspects of fishing the Swains and mid-ocean reefs so I have put together the following information which basically covers most of the tackle and techniques I use personally. It is based on my observations and experiences, having visited these reefs a number of times over the past 7 years. I am sure there are improvements and corrections that can be made and I expect to further refine these ideas in the future.
If you would like to know more about fishing the Coral Sea or are interested in joining a charter to explore these amazing waters for yourself please contact me for more information.
