STILL FISHIN'. The best from 15 years of Gone Fishin'.By Graeme Sinclair. Paperback, 190mm x 250mm, 206 pages, full colour and black & white photographs.
Fifteen years ago on a shoestring, a wing and a prayer, Graeme Sinclair started Gone Fishin'. It rapidly became one of the most popular programmes on TV. Even changing channels did nothing to stop it's popularity.
Snapper, marlin, kingfish, broadbill and most of the other underwater denizens that swim in the waters around New Zealand's coastline were fished for and caught on camera for the ever-growing audience. Eventually, trips to more exotic locations were added as well as the cooking segment.
Tragedy struck after a few years when Graeme developed multiple sclerosis, and the fishing, diving, free moving host of the show was suddenly confined to a wheelchair. The legs may have stopped working but the host of the show could still fish and his enthusiasm continued to captivate viewers of all ages.
So sit back and enjoy the ride so far as after fifteen years of Gone Fishin' on TV Graeme looks back at some of the events, stories and fishing trips that have helped to make the show what it is today.

BLACK MARLIN BOULEVARD DVD.By Inside Sportfishing. DVD, running time 54 minutes.
Doug Olander, Editor in Chief, writes in Volume 18, Issue 7, August, 2003 Sport Fishing magazine, '...the waters off a nondescript bluff on the northern Peru coast produced the most remarkable action the world has ever seen for colossal black marlin, abundant swordfish, striped marlin and huge bigeye tuna. No other spot could rival it then: no other spot rivals it now. And it seems increasingly possible that no place ever will."
The oroginal 16mm color film has all been carefully cleaned, transferred and digitized, with unbelievable clarity and crispness, preserving forever an all time classic moment in time. Without question this is one of fishing's most historical moments. Baseball great, Ted Williams introduces us to the Cabo Blanco Fishing Club, before heading off the beach, making bait and doing battle with a black marlin weighing in at over 1,200 pounds. S. Rip Farrington picks up the action where Ted leaves off with more spectacular footage showcasing this great fishery in all its grandeur. Cabo Blanco Peru, circa, 1954 this is one you'll watch over and over again.

A TRIBUTE TO TUNA DVD. PART 1 & 2.By Inside Sportfishing. DVD, first DVD 40 minutes and 2nd one 65 minutes.
Part 1
Produced in honour of the men who once fished from the racks, using cane poles, their bare hands, guts and determination; and to the magnificent Tuna they chased. This award winning film takes us on an incredible journey through time, with some of the most exciting and rarest 4-pole action footage ever shot.
There are few things in the world that match the experience of being tied into a big tuna. It can be one of the most challenging and emotional experiences of an anglers life. Time has come for us all to start working to help protect our resources, so that our children will have an opportunity to experience for themselves, the raw power and awesome beauty of the Magnificent Tuna.
We are all a part of one ocean, and have only one chance, so let's get it right. Do your part, make a difference, practice CPR...Catch, Photograph and Release.
Part 2, Collector's edition.
Rarely does a sequel come close to capturing the excitement and thrill of the original. But Marlin Magazine says it all, "Tuna II picks up where the original leaves off. Spellbinding. Michael Fowlkes has created another masterpiece."
With never before seen archive footage of the first long range trips, circa 1950, to an exclusive interview with Michael Farrior of the Avalon Tuna Club, Tuna II takes us through the evolution of fishing tuna. From 500-pound Bluefin off Bimini Bay to the Revilla Gigedos Islands, from leather harnesses and 9/0s, to the development of Shimano's state-of-the-art two-speed, hydrothermal drag systems, this is the most definitive work ever assembled on fishing tuna.

GOTCHA!.By John Eichelsheim. Paperback, 148mm X 210mm, 152 pages, monochrome photos and drawings.
Fishing with soft plastics has started to take-off in New Zealand. And there's one particularly good reason why they are popular: they catch fish. The new generation soft plastic baits are more effective than ever, thanks to special scents, flavours and actions. They work so well they can be even more effective than natural bait.
There is a huge range to choose from, including jerk shads - irresistible to snapper, blue cod, tarakihi and a host of other species - grub-style soft plastic, shad-type lures - great for kahawai and kingfish - and prawn and crab imitations. All are available in dozens of colours.
The many styles, colours and scents of soft plastics are designed to be fished in different ways. John Eichelsheim, writer for a number of New Zealand fishing and boating magazines and websites, brings his considerable expertise to this subject to ensure you get the best from the new-style baits. He also looks at the advantages of using specialised tackle, such as superbraid and lightweight graphite rods, which can substantially increase your chances of success.
