  • KNEE-JERK FISHERIES MANAGEMENT? September 28, 2022
    “Sky is falling” prophecies of imminent doom-and-gloom, accompanied by over-the-top shut-downs of recreational fishing activity… Unfortunately, these both appear to be a growing part of the playbooks of our state governments and their fisheries management bureaucracies these days. In case you missed it, some remarkable and very alarming news has emerged from Western Australia in […]
  • SPANISH MACKEREL STOCKS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE July 3, 2021
    The on-line publication of an ABC News item on 14 June, 2021, marked the first time most of us had heard about a startling new assessment concerning the depletion of Spanish mackerel stocks along the eastern seaboard of Australia. According to this news report, a meeting of the East Coast Spanish Mackerel Working Group in […]

Couple of chunks from the Native Watercraft yesterday 🙂 in such good nick! Exhilarating, torrid battle to get them out of their lairs, long enough to get both back on the reel. Thank goodness for the direct drive propeller on my ‘yak!!!

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.

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.
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.
