Halfway between Lizard Island and Cooktown. I last left off at the end of day 3 in the Lizard Island Classic after a shocker!!!! What a difference a day makes, I went down and fished No: 7 Ribbon Reef for the day and we ended up with 3 from 3 fish, for a great day, […]

No: 9 Ribbon Reef The weather has been awesome since we started, and even a few days of flat calm. Our first trip was 11 days with the boys from the US, and was very cruisy, with lots of spearing and fishing in the afternoons. We stocked up on bait and dropped off a load […]

Back in Cairns: After a couple of really busy weeks at Gold Coast City Marina getting the TRADITION ready for the season, the boys arrived and got straight to work on the tackle and sorting through their stuff. We left the Gold Coast last Saturday and had a good, but windy trip up the coast […]

I have now finished up my contract on the Ambush, with a great 2 week trip mostly diving all thru the British Virgin Islands. The two families we had on the Olga and Ambush had a great time, and the kids all had a blast with us on the Ambush, with some excellent deep dropping […]

After a break from travelling and hanging at the dock in Puerto Rico, with a few weekend trips here and there, we start up our summer blue marlin season tomorrow in St Thomas and the British Virgin Islands. The fishing in the Dominican Republic has been very good the last few weeks, and hopefully a […]

Another month and a completely different hemisphere and ocean all together!!! I was fortunate to have the Tradition back home at the Gold Coast City Marina, where she spends the off season, a couple of days before Christmas. We fortunately missed the January storms around Brisbane that took so many lives, and then followed up […]

Wow, has it been a month since my last update? After finishing our trip with Steve and Catherine on a high with 2 really big fish, we couldnt wait to get back out for another trip, this time with Dave and his friends from Canberra. This was Daves second trip to the reef this year, […]
