Welcome to my website.

My name is Barry McDade. I have been an offshore fisherman for over 25 years, specialising in the Sunshine Coast region of South East Queensland, Australia.

Offshore fishing is not an exact science, however it helps if you know the basics. Have a look through the website today and you will find information pertaining to rigs, reefs, methods of fishing, species, photos of the latest catches and even a movie or two.

My real passion is teaching people how to catch "their" fish of a lifetime. Through some basic principles I will show you how to land mackerel, tuna, cobia, snapper, sweetlip, pearl perch and other tasty reef fish. contact me for some great advice.

You might already know of me, I provide the days Offshore fishing reports for the Sunshine Coast Daily and I regularly assist the owners of Kawana Bait and Tackle on Pt. Cartwright Drive in Kawana. Good luck with your fishing.

Remember: If you land a big one, send me a photo and a little information on where it was caught, the bait and outfit you used and line size! You never know, you may have landed a record-breaking fish!
