Being Sharon and Tarryn’s first ever Mother’s Day, Nick and I decided to take them (as well as our mothers) to Tala Game Reserve for a buffet breakfast and a day in the bush. With no set time to arrive Sharon, my mom and I left the house at 7am and, after a brief coffee …
A big thank you to Go! Magazine and Mr Price Sport for my latest prize, a Trail Tech Summit 3-man tent. I can’t wait to put this bad boy to the test.
Those of you who know me probably also know that of all aspects of fly fishing, small streams are perhaps my favourite. How can anyone not love the crisp mountain air, crystal clear water, looming, pastel mountains and brightly coloured trout? This season however I really didn’t get my fix, and instead spent more time at home …
Over the 9 month of Sharon’s pregnancy I took of photo of her every second or third day. It was a time consuming process that took a lot of patience on both of our parts. Sharon had to change every night – into the same outfit – and I seemed to continuously be lining up …

Clearly somebody thought otherwise and as I neared the hospital helicopters filled the air and traffic slowed – clearly there was a major accident. Thankfully it turned out to be on the other side of the freeway …
Although I consider Casino Beach to be a low tide venue, it is actually ideally fished at neap tides. This is when the wave action is not too overpowering and the holes open up nicely. Low tides means a flat beach with fewer holes while high tide means fighting the surf. So when the tides …
After attending all 10 scans leading up to this point I was hugely disappointed when a work commitment forced me to miss the 38 week scan. I guess there was the option of moving it, but after much deliberation and a phone call to Sharon we decided to go ahead with the appointment. Being 38 …
After a night out at the rugby (and a few too many beers) I decided that a quick trip down to the beach was in order. I was in desperate need of fresh air as well as a little exercise, and a flicking a fly into the surf checked all the right boxes. Checking the tides …
