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.
