Patrick Linehan is a passionate and highly-regarded angler with over two decades of experience fishing along the NSW Mid North Coast.
Patrick is a Port Macquarie local and grew up fishing the Hastings River and surrounds. After finishing school and completing studies at university in Newcastle, Patrick pursued a career in the recreational fishing industry.
Following a move to Sydney in 2015, Patrick worked for Australia’s leading fishing magazine and media brand, Fishing World. More recently, Patrick works for some of the world’s leading fishing and marine brands providing consultation on the design, development and marketing of recreational fishing tackle, boats and related outdoors accessories.
While pursuing a career in the recreational fishing industry, Patrick has spent much of the last decade travelling extensively throughout Australia and overseas catching some of the most notorious sportfish on lure.
Patrick has honed his fishing skills alongside some of Australia’s best anglers and guides. Now back in Port Macquarie – where his fishing journey began – Patrick is keen to share his knowledge and passion for lure fishing along the Mid North Coast.
When Patrick isn’t fishing, you’ll find him around the area surfing or freediving, adding to his unique and invaluable insight into the NSW Mid North Coast’s diverse marine environment.
