  • About
FISHERMAN
STHELENS / TASMANIA

It’s hard to imagine a more inspired fisherman: Dave has incredible local knowledge and a real respect for the environment.

Dave Allen says his career started at the age of six, fishing recreationally from the family boat. His father was a stickler for looking after the catch—his philosophy was to always ice down promptly, never take more than you need and to return small fish to the water to catch another day.

At the age of 10, Dave had progressed to paddling his kayak to the middle of an island off the north coast of Tasmania to snorkel for abalone, which he cooked over a small open fire with garlic and butter. By the time he was 22, Dave was working as a deckhand, diving for abalone and scallops.
