Al McGlashan is passionate about fishing and all things outdoors. A keen adventurer his love of fishing ultimately steered him away from the corporate world and into a career as a fishing journo'. A decade later he is now Australia’s biggest fishing profile and according to Al never has to work a day in his life because he loves what he is doing! Spending more than 200 days a year on the water Al has successfully turned his passion into a successful business. Despite no formal training in journalism (in fact his English teacher still doesn’t believe he writes for a living!) Al regularly contributes to dozens of magazines both local and national magazines including Modern Fishing, Outback Mag and even FHM. Al is also Australia’s biggest exporter of fishing images his work has graced many international magazines including Marlin Magazine (USA) Saltwater Sportsman (USA), New Zealand Fishing World, Voyager De Peche (France), Ski Boat (South Africa). He is also the only Aussie to have his images exhibited at the IGFA Headquarters in the US. He has also authored four books including the The Complete Fishing Bible, which is a 450 pages best seller. Even his better half Rach is now writing with her first cookbook - Dinner with the fishwife selling out its first print run! Al is also involved in radio and does weekly fishing reports for stations around the country including regular gigs on 2GB and more recently 2UE. Then there is his new fishing column in the Daily Telegraph in Sydney. The step into television was a natural one and Al has appeared on all major fishing shows as well as co hosting Fishnet TV (Ten) and River to Reef (Aurora Channel). He also produced the ground breaking Strikezone DVD range, which has now become a high rating TV series (TVS). His fishing exploits are famous and he has received worldwide coverage from the discovery of the White Sharks at Stockton as well as catching a monster bull shark in Sydney Harbour. More recently he topped it off landing one of the biggest tuna ever seen after an epic 7hour battle!
It has been a long hard slog to build up a reputation in the fishing and boating industry, but Al would have it no other way, especially when he gets to do what he loves most - fish and then tell everyone about it!
