'Sydney Weekender' gets hooked on luxury game fishing

by Anna Szulerecka, Unique Venues on 25 Sep 2010 Motor Yacht Charters Sydney (MYCS), a new Australian owned charter company, introduced Mike Whitney and his Channel Seven Sydney Weekender crew to game fishing in style when they came aboard Pisces earlier this week.

With Sydney Harbour and clear blue skies as the backdrop, Mike Whitney initially set his sights on the bow of the luxurious vessel where he posed Titanic-style arms spread wide for the camera. However, as Pisces cruised out towards Sydney Heads his attention soon veered to the state-of -the-art fishing equipment that Pisces boasts.

Dave-the-Deckie (David Jose, MYCS Deckhand) together with Michael Tess, MYCS Skipper and fishing-guru Al McGlashan (StrikezoneTV) demonstrated some game-fishing techniques using the champion rods onboard which were handcrafted by Ian Miller, one of the world’s top three master rod makers.

Pisces’ advanced navigation system including 3D GPS, sonar and Furuno electronics, guided the new found fishing fanatics to a hot spot. With much excitement, Mike managed to reel in an impressive Kingfish before lunch.

Retreating to the saloon with panoramic views for a well deserved lunch, the group feasted on fresh seafood and contemporary cuisine prepared by one of Sydney’s leading catering companies.

The segment on Pisces is due to air on Channel Seven Sydney Weekender early next year.
