Robbie Riches

Robbie is the former owner and fishing guide at Perth Fishing Safaris, a landbased fishing tour company featured on iFish, The Offroad Adventure Show and The Wall Steet Journal. Prior to that, he founded and ran one of Australia's largest fishing websites, Get Fishing - a fishing information hub and online fishing tournament website. Robbie's passion has always been helping experienced anglers refine their skills to land dream fish, and equipping newcomers to the sport with a foundation of skills to set them up for a lifetime of successful fishing. His professional fishing guiding business was recognised on Trip Advisor as among the best in the world and was awarded multiple Traveller's Choice Awards for top 10% of attractions worldwide, based on hundreds of client reviews. His Fishing Lessons and clinics were extremely popular among local, interstate and international anglers - where a chance of catching a fish was always on the cards. 

Robbie has fished the rocks, beaches, estuaries, offshore waters and freshwater systems of Australia's east and west coasts for over 35 years. From the age of 3 he was fishing and by age 5 he was competing in fishing competitions and winning prizes! Don't be mistaken, Robbie is not an average guy who likes fishing from time to time, he's an actual freak. He's is a full-blown obsessed die-hard fisho who has spent his entire life living and breathing fishing. If it lives in the water and moves, he'll catch it. He doesn't follow sport or politics, he follows the fishing! Landbased fishing is at his core, and catching fish anywhere form the shore is what he does best, among other facets of the sport. He's no stranger to boat fishing either. You are in great hands here, and there's no better angling instructor to show you the ropes and guide you to fishing success than Robbie. There's no doubt you'll be enthralled in this captivating and educational Learn How To Fish course for beginners.  

Robbie is no beginner when it comes to teaching people to fish. Here he is passing down knowledge to his son.
