ABOUT RYAN MOODY

Ryan Moody started his fishing career on the reef boats before catching bucket list marlin for the likes of champion heavy tackle angler Johnno Johnson, INXS and the King of Sweden. Branching out in the late 80’s to guided barramundi fishing, Ryan has made a name for himself as a Big Barramundi specialist and to date has put clients onto over 2000 metre plus barra.

Live bait were the backbone of his guiding in the early years until he adapted his extensive knowledge to also catching trophy fish with live bait mimics (lures). Ryan’s success catching trophy fish with lures is primarily due to the knowledge he picked up over the years studying live bait behaviour, and how predatory fish interact with those live bait.

With attitudes changing from ‘keep all you can’ towards catch and release, Ryan has decided to share his extensive knowledge and hopefully inspire people of all ages to get out from behind the computer screen/TV and into the fishing outdoors lifestyle he has spent his life perfecting.

“Everyone can learn something new from Ryan’s knowledge and you would be mad not to tap into it and use it to your advantage.”

Glenn Fyfe

“The knowledge and information Ryan gives from his 30+ year fishing career is practical and priceless.”
