Description
Ultimate Fishing: Australia is a collection of 40 of the best spots to cast a line. Lifelong fisher and marine scientist Indy Thompson has scoured the coastlines, bringing together a collection of noteworthy experiences for amateur and experienced anglers.
Fishing is often as much about enjoying the outdoors and location as it is about reeling in the big catch, and this book ties great locations with great catch opportunities. From Jervis Bay in New South Wales, Eaglehawk Neck in Tasmania, and Exmouth in Western Australia to the fishing mecca of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, there are diverse fishing opportunities around the country for readers to discover. Indy also provides helpful information on when to visit, what to bring, and, importantly, what catch you will find.
For those looking to bring along the family, there's also information on whether a spot is kid friendly and dog friendly. You'll also find tips on great nearby attractions and places to grab a bite, for a great weekend away or week-long holiday.

About the Author
Competitive fisher India (Indy) Thompson learned very early on that physical strength is no advantage when you've got a rod and reel – good technique is what ultimately helps you land the biggest catch.
Nothing makes Indy happier than being out on the water chasing fish that are sometimes the size of a small car, which she's been doing with her family since she was a small child. Her competitive nature saw her take this passion beyond a hobby and into the sporting domain, with huge success. At the age of 16, Indy caught a massive 267.4kg swordfish off the coast of St Helens, Tasmania, netting her the female junior world record title – a record she still holds.
In her day job as a marine scientist, Indy is an advocate for sustainable fishing, working hard to make sure Aussies can continue to enjoy the sport for generations to come. Indy – who has a Bachelor of Marine Environment majoring in Fisheries Management and a Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science with first class honours – now enters ‘tag and release’ tournaments rather than ‘capture’ events, to ease the pressure on fish populations.
