$25 might seem a bit rich for a bottle opener keyring, even a cool looking one like this... But what if your 25 bucks also bought you a one-in-400 chance of winning a three day/two night Top End fishing adventure for you and a mate with myself and Glenn Watt of Barefoot Fishing Safaris? Yep. That's how it works. 400 individually numbered Barefoot Bottle Openers, and each one is a ticket in this unique lottery to win the trip of a lifetime. Buy two and double your chances. Buy eight and give them to your mates, on the condition they take you with them... that way you have a one-in-50 chance! Bit better odds than Lotto, eh? 🙂

I've never caught one of these in NSW waters before, having only encountered them previously in SA (especially on Kangaroo Island). Quite a welcome surprise. Fought really well (I picked it for a silver trevally) and was very tasty on the plate — right up there with black drummer, in my opinion. Has anyone else pulled one in NSW?

TAGGED FLATHEAD RECAPTURED January 30, 2019
On 15 January, 2019, I received some very exciting news from NSW DPI Fisheries. It seems that a large dusky flathead I tagged and fin-clipped for DNA analysis on 16th October, 2018 had recently been recaptured and re-released. The fish measured 84.5 cm when I caught it in mid-October, in the lower reaches of Tuross […]

My Fly Gear Gap Year - Jo Starling2 months ago

Do you shake your fist and Huey when he blows, then throw your rod in the corner and sulk? That was certainly me at the start of My Fly Gear Gap Year! I'm not going to suggest that I can now take on all wind...

My Fly Gear Gap Year - Jo Starling2 months ago

I’ve never seen such an athletic and raw chase, strip and fight as this... it’s like a pentathlon!! Is this a unique style? Or is this a standard technique for GT in skinny water?

Fishing Australia TV

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 You won’t have seen a GT chase a fly like this! More info: Yellow Dog's Alaska and Christmas Island program director, Camille Egdorf, versus a Providence Atoll giant trevally. Join Jeff Currier on a hosted trip to Providence this December: https://bit.ly/2SJFAPp

TIP OF THE MINUTE…

Tight Lines is our signature magazine, media rich and loaded with detail. Think one mega-length, ultimate Starlo article per issue, with more intel than any magazine will ever provide… and you’re starting to get the picture. Available only to our Inner Circle premium members, with a preview outline published in our FREE newsletter, Fishotopian.

view the public channel

If you’re happy with more generalised content that’s free to everyone, then the general Fishotopia community (that’s where you are, right now) is definitely the place for you. Drop in here to see the RSS feeds from Starlo and Jo’s various blogs and social channels (or click on the buttons at the top of the page), but there is so much more going on… all the time!

Have you discovered our monthly news cast?

Fishotopian will keep you up-to-date with everything newsworthy in Australian recreational fishing & across the Fishotopia network. From upcoming events, to editorial and insights from Starlo… even tips and articles that you won’t find anywhere else PLUS insights into what’s happening in the exclusive Inner Circle. Why not subscribe? It’s FREE, and you’ll never miss a flick, cast or byte again.

Send me my free eZine

The second -best way to stay updated (without having to physically come here and look everyday), is to subscribe to our completely FREE monthly eZine highlighting everything that’s current in the network and beyond, including monthly musings and breaking news from Starlo & Jo and their contacts. Why not sign up? It’s a great way to stay in touch and have a little more insight than others about what’s happening in Aussie fishing. Of course, we did say this was the second-best way to stay ahead of the game… What’s the best way we hear you ask? Well, it’s NOT by honing your skills on the same free cyber junk that everyone else does! Read on…

If you really want the inside running from the man himself, then you seriously need to consider joining Starlo’s Inner Circle…

If you are a serious angler… possibly even an addicted angler (as we are), then you belong in Starlo’s Inner Circle!

Members of this premium club are the “one percenters”. As such, they enjoy direct access to Starlo (and each other) through a totally private group forum that is fast becoming the “thinking anglers’ meeting place”. But that’s just the beginning. As part of Starlo’s Inner Circle, you’ll also have full membership to a growing library of incredibly detailed how-to features, in-depth articles, magazines, e-books and even activities for the kids… AND you’ll receive personal invitations to members-only events and get-togethers, as well as news of deals and new releases before they’re made public… PLUS videos and podcasts that no one else outside the group can access. Inner Circle Membership is without question the best way to fast-track your fishing success, and it costs less than the price of a packet of hooks every month. We reckon that once you’re in you’ll want to stay, especially as numbers will be capped, but should you wish to, you can opt out at any time.

Compare the benefits of each level of membership below and find the option that best suits you.
