Welcome to my web site:

This is the new home of Scott Mitchell and family. A lot of you will know we founded & operated "The Alpine Angler" specialist fresh water & fly fishing tackle store in Cooma, NSW from 1991. With over 20 years in the fishing tackle retail industry we have decided on a change of "lifestyle and climate", selling our business in September 2006. We have moved north to Hervey Bay in Queensland and are enjoying the new "Seachange".  

Both Katrina & myself now work in Real Estate sales & marketing for www.advantageonerealestate.com.au  at 2 Pier Street ,Urangan , right next to the big jetty so as to get some fishing in before and after work . So please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance with real estate in the Hervey Bay region. You can even add your details to our NEW "Real Estate mailing list" & recieve regular FREE newsletters

A lot of you may also know me as "Scotto" from the various fishing web site forums I frequent. I have been active on the NET for over two decades and enjoy the freedom of information and speed in which breaking news and techniques can be delivered to anglers around the world. If you want to know some thing today you just "Google" it or post on a forum and get an answer in minutes. The trick is being confident that the information you are receiving is credible.

With over 30 years of diverse angling & travel experience behind me you can be assured that the tackle & equipment I use is amongst the best available. Through this web site I'll be endeavouring to bring you details on the latest tackle trends and techniques along with travel details and information from great locations around Australia and over seas.

I also have quite a large archive of photography covering a wide variety of angling destinations, species and perspectives which can be purchased. Go to the photography page for samples and previous magazine cover shots. I will also include some of my more popular and informative articles for future reference from my archives.

If you want to stay up to date with new changes on the site or receive details on trips I plan to lead, feel FREE to add your email address on the Newsletter page. You can also email me via the contacts area - Please be patient as replies may take a while depending on what I'm up to.

So many fish - So little time!

Regards Scotto
