Mike and his family were up in Hervey Bay once again for their anual holidays and booked me for a days Sportfishing.
Mike sent me this email after he arrived home to attach to the report when I put it up.
Hi Paul,
Returned home safely and unfortunately straight back to work
I have been holidaying in Hervey Bay for the last 7 years straight with my family
And for the last 6 years you have been guiding me and my sons on some very memorable fishing charters
When you take into account my disability and from memory my youngest son was only 10 when you guided us the first time
I really need to thank you for your guiding professionalism, ability & consistency over a long period of time
Over the years I have been guided around the east coast from Melbourne to the Top End so I am not talking through my hat
Each year you guided us there was always something different on the agenda and we always managed to catch great quality fish no matter what mother nature threw at us
In 2010 you introduced me to flats fishing. Sight casting lures in less than a meter of water for 5-10 kg Golden Trevally. This form of fishing in the environment you took me to was nothing short of sensational. After this trip I thought that I had experienced the best type of fishing available to me off Hervey Bay
This year, once again you implemented a new plan of attack new grounds and marks and pulled it off to a tee
And just when we had seen what we thought was the best available last year you pulled out the sight casting to 15-20 kg long tail tuna in 2-3 meters of water at the end of the day
That resulted in a double hook up with both fish successfully boated and photos taken and returned to the water.
I could rave on for hours about flats fishing with Paul but I wont
until you have been out on the flats and actually experience this type of fishing with him no one can really tell you the whole experience
Try it I guarantee you will love every minute of it

I Had the pleasure of guiding Rick Pollock from "Pursuit" Fishing Charters in New Zealand!along with his father Sterling who is a truly inspiring man at 88 years young.
Rick's “PURSUIT” anglers enjoy holding many of the National records on the Trevally species and all of the fly rod marks so we take them quite seriously while having fun!
Also there are a large amount of Big Yellow Tail Kingfish from 20 up to 45 kilo's landed and tagged on Rick's boat each season.
If your heading to New Zealand check out his operation he's a great guy and knows his stuff.

G’day Paul,
Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed fishing with you recently. It’s quite refreshing to meet someone who wears their heart on their sleeve & isn’t scared to voice their opinions as well as actually showing in their actions that they truly have a passion for something.
I did notice the amount of info that you passed on to me over the 2 days was way beyond just about anything I’ve experienced before. I’ve noticed that quite a few of the other guides/operators I’ve fished with seem to either volunteer nothing beyond “cast there”, or jealously guard their secrets. I actually fished with one guide where it was forbidden to look at the sounder to the point of him actually physically blocking your view if you tried! The amount of finer points re feeding habits, tides, moon phases, other species & rigging you spoke about was fantastic as I came away not just having caught my target species, but having learnt from the experience as well. I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone heading your way, as well as be booking with you again if I can get back to Hervey Bay in the future.
