Aka — founder of ArtaFishal, Mackay QLD

“I'm just a Mackay dad who loves fishing. Nobody properly taught me. I built ArtaFishal for myself.

Last 5 trips — I came home with fish every single time. Not trophy fish. But fish. And a confidence on the water I never had before.

That's what Skipper does. He makes you feel like you know what you're doing — because now you actually do.”
