Who runs FishingEarth.com?

FishingEarth.com has been a dream of mine for a number of years and late last year I decided that 2007 would be the year we’d turn this dream into a reality.

Born and bred in North Queensland, I’ve grown up with a passion for fishing and a determination to develop that passion into a business that helps others to enjoy their passion for fishing.

Growing up on cane farm on the outskirts of Cairns and then a cattle station on the Herbert River three hours south west of Cairns gave me plenty of opportunities to fish as a kid. With every available moment spent fishing rives, estuaries and reefs around North Queensland. Some of my happiest memories as a kid are times when I had a fishing line in my hands with friends and family.

As a kid I would watch the Qantas ads with the Peter Allen song ‘I still call Australia Home’ I was fascinated by the images flashing before my eyes on the TV. So like many Australians the travel bug bit me in my early 20s and I spent quite a bit of time firstly travelling to remote locations in Western Australian and the boarder of Queensland and the Northern Territory as an exploration field assistant in the mining industry.

Following that I spread my wings a little further and headed to Europe in search of great adventure. Landing in London I spent every available pound on plane and train tickets, seeing as much of Europe as I could, whilst working in Finance for several large companies.

Of course, there has never been a place on Earth that I have travelled to without some type of fishing rod or line. I have fished the Thames in London, fly fished the tidal waters around Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy France, fished the waters off Sydney, Perth and Melbourne, hunted wild brown trout in Tasmania’s lakes and rivers and fished Victoria’s trout streams just to name a few locations.

But it’s the waters of North Queensland that are true to my heart and it’s the waters of North Queensland that I know so well, which is why I have a passion for fishing in this stunning part of the world and can help you with your fishing adventures to this area too.

We hope you find everything you need on FishingEarth to entice you to North Queensland on a fantastic fishing adventure. But if you’d like more information or just an informal chat feel free to give us a shout on 1800 288 378 or email me at doug@fishingearth.com

Happy fishing!
