Sponsors that count...

This website has just a couple  of great sponsors - Coffs Coast Sportsfishing,  and Jennings Gamefish Lures. 
Both these businesses are run by enthusiastic game fishermen with a lifetime of experience in this highly specialised sport.

Coffs Coast Sportfishing

Rob Lang's Coffs Coast Sportsfishing is the premier offshore game fishing charter operation on the north coast of NSW. Whether you want to chase the ultimate blue marlin big game fishing prize, or any of the other marlin and pelagic game fish that can be found in these waters year round, Rob Lang will get you onto them. Other options include having a great day out catching some of the excellent table fish such as snapper and pearl perch for which this coastline and its reefs are renowned, or if serious sportfishing is your preference, you can take on the local kingfish. 
The superb 40ft Blackwatch luxury game fishing boat  "Black N Blue" complete with Skipper Rob and an expert crew can take you to wonderful locations off this picturesque coast for a day you'll never forget. 
On the other hand, if your idea of the perfect day of fishing is chasing the renowned eastern bass in local rivers, Rob can take you upstream for a great day on the bass with light tackle. Click on the photo to be taken to Rob's fishing charter website...

Jennings Gamefish Lures

Picture
Aaron Jennings grew up game fishing in the middle of the Pacific as a member a famous family of game fishermen who have been fishing the waters of Fiji and Tonga for generations. 
Turning his hand to making lures for the big sportfish that call the tropical Pacific Ocean home seemed like a natural way to invest the knowledge and experience his family had passed to him, and so Jennings Gamefish Lures was born.
Only available from the Jennings website, a range of special standard lures and an even wider range of custom lures made to every customer's choice from the many options in head design, colour, eye pattern, and skirt design is hand crafted by experienced game fishermen to Aaron's specifications.
Aaron's most recent innovation, the Vuaki Flyer lure is a flying fish imitation that is proving to be the hottest new design in the business. It's already got a reputation as an irresistable lure that mimics the antics of a flying fish trying to escape a predator and getting ready to fly. Versions of this lure have already been copied by larger lure makers, and have been in regular use by charter skippers and recreational game fishermen throughout 2016 with high success rates.
