This section contains many terrific articles and reports from the F&B team, originally headed up by Damon Olsen, aided and abetted by close mates, Aaron Concord and Ben Thrower. Kim Bain prepared many very useful articles (before she became famous in the USA) and Mike O’Neil is always a terrific read – on a wide variety of subjects, too.

Remember too, if you are setting up a fishing boat for coastal sport fishing anytime soon, make sure you download a copy of Aaron’s 27 page report - no kidding, there’s 26 pages of text and pictures! It’s complete with tackle part numbers, colours and sizes of EVERYTHING you will need to know to get amongst ‘em on the East and West Coasts.
