ANGLER ATTACHÉ
A rare and unique offering of an accomplished angling addict as an annualised fishing friend, companion and end-to-end planning resource.
Interested. Or know someone who'd be interested? Reach out, let's begin with a conversation and see where that leads.
Any kind of angling.
Over this lifetime, I've fished for many if not most species that swim across almost all ecosystems they inhabit. From the cobalt currents of the world's three largest oceans to micro mountain streams and the estuaries, beaches, bays and rivers in between.
I don't share this to boast, but rather to share that I am comfortable on water anywhere. Ready to go, in the know and adaptble to the flow.
Looking for a life long fishing buddy? Let me know, in this form below. I'll get back to you directly, if not today, tomorrow.
We can have destinations for days and deeds to do from dawn to dusk, or we can stop, listen, hear, look, see and practise just how to ‘be’.
My attention is on your intention. If you can dream it, I believe I can weave it. Together.
Interested? Sound like fun? Send me a message, fill out this form. I’ll be back to you as soon as reception comes back into view.
Down A Dusty Track isn’t for everyone, but it might be perfect for you.
This starts with an enquiry, followed by a chat. If you like what you hear, we follow up with a video call and shape the trip together.
In case you want to know more about what's involved, how we eat, how we roll, what I know and what we can do.
Here's more.
How do we get where we're going? ‘WILDLING’ and earned luxury
We travel in style in a completely kitted-out Mercedes-Benz 4x4 Twin-Turbo V6, Diesel, Medium Wheel Base, Sprinter overlanding adventure van. No shortcuts here.
Picture this.
After a cold midwinter swim, there is hot water for an outdoor shower. After a long walk, filtered water, a kettle, heat, cold drinks and fresh linen. Dirt under your fingernails, smoke in your hair, she's got you. The sounds of the bush outside and, yes, the rear doors open.
This is my version of earned luxury. Everything you need and might want wherever we are.
Eye mask. Hot-water bottle. Ice packs. Wasabi. Whatever else you can't leave behind.
Love remote fishing destinations, you get all to yourself. Me too, and I've found a lifettime of them.
Where to go fishing at any time of the year, isn't something that comes easy. An online search can answer some of the questions, but send you somewhere the fish never are, or recommend the wrong moon phase or week.
Knowing when, where, why, and with what, is where the magic happens. It's part of the joy of discover and getting it just right.

Days with me as your companion
I have travelled, fished, dived, cooked, camped, photographed and filmed in wild country across the world for much of my life. I am a marine scientist by education, a 30,000+ hour fisherman by obsession and an eager freediver with APNEA training. I hold a Wilderness First Aid Certificate, the required insurances, permits and passes to operate all our activities safely and legally. In my other life, I spent twenty-five years building and leading creative businesses in television, film and advertising.
I've spent a lifetime learning to read this country: a beach for where it's safe to swim or best to fish, a river for where to cast, the sky for the light, and the wind for where it will blow and where it won't.
What all that means here is simple: I prepare closely, pay attention to the details, communicate clearly, read whatever situation presents itself and navigate the day as needed. Changing the plan as the country asks us to.
Would we travel well together?
Curiosity matters and a sense of humour helps. A willingness to be outdoors in changing weather and to say honestly what you need.
You do not need to arrive knowing how to fish, read a river or cook over coals. All you need is to be open to the day becoming something neither of us could have scheduled, if that's the way it goes.
So what's next?
Every enquiry comes directly to me. Tell me what is drawing you, who might come and how much time you could make. If it feels like we would travel well together, we begin with a conversation.
From there, I start shaping a direction around you.
Your details stay with me. I don't sell lists, and I don't send noise.
