Kerry has always been a keen fisherman, starting at the very early age of 5 under the expert guidance of his father who was a very good social and competition angler. He joined the Moreton Mixed Fishing Club at the age of 12 and fished in many competitions. At the age of 14, Kerry won the South Queensland Amateur Fishing Association C grade championship .

 After many years out west, Kerry moved back to Brisbane to educate his children and to have better access to the sport that has become a large part of his life.

"My absolute favourite place to fish is the western side of Cape York and over the last 8 years have made over 10 trips to this fisherman’s paradise."

"The new SMAK "Pro Select" Spinnerbaits are the best yet!  “they absolutely ROCK”.... their compact design make them a dream to cast, the blade design means they turn freely with the absolute minimum of winding speed and the new colour range is the best I have seen."

Kerry began tournament fishing in 2002 and has not missed an ABT bass comp since; recently he started fishing bream comps as well. Interspersed with the ABT circuit, Kerry is a regular entrant in many other competitions where he is often joined by his two sons.

Over the past 3 years of competition fishing Kerry has had several top ten finishes as both a non boater and boater and has fished in all three bass grand finals and one bream grand final on the ABT circuit. He has also had a few top ten finishes in the Stessel competitions a session win in the skins format.

Whilst Kerry has not yet achieved that final goal of actually winning a competition, he gets an enormous amount of enjoyment out of just competing and meeting other people who regard this great sport with the same amount of passion and enthusiasm as he does.

"This I believe is the essence of tournament fishing, the camaraderie, the swapping of knowledge and the joy of pursuing the sport you love so much".

During a recent tournament, Kerry had an experience that he regards as the highlight of his career as a tournament fisherman. . He was drawn with two 'first time' Bass tournament anglers and, in the spirit of tournament angling, had the pleasure of imparting his knowledge of the technics required to catch bass at that particular competition. To his intense joy, both anglers bagged their limits in all sessions and were extremely happy with their results.
