Adam Guy
After growing up in London (England) Adam has now returned to the city of his birth, Tokyo, where he lives and works as a biologist. He enjoys cooking in the evening with the day’s catch, using both Japanese recipes and those of his own creation, almost as much as he enjoys the actual fishing. Choosing what sake rice wine to go with the fish is another pleasure. Although Japan is probably more famous among fishermen in the West for its high-technology fishing tackle companies, recently he has become interested in traditional Japanese fishing techniques, using older tackle such as bamboo rods. In between fishing trips, he also enjoys reading, traveling and painting. You can read more about Adam on his blog the Compleat Tsuribito.

Jonny Mackay
Jonny didn’t do a lot of fishing when we first met several years ago, but from our very first fishing trip together his love of the game was obvious. Since that fateful day Jonny has spent far more days on the water then off. In the past few years he amassed a collection of rods and reels that rivals any pro fisherman. Luckily he has an excuse to buy new rods, he has three sons who he has shared his passion of fishing with since they were babies.

Biz Davis
Biz Davis is a one half musician, one half artist and one half geek. He clearly sucks at math, but can make a mean Tilapia with fresh lime and Black Olives and a T-shirt to match. Occasionally he’ll drop by Fishing Fury with some music, and can rightfully claim to have discovered Okie Noodling *AND* 3 Headed Monster before Jon did. You can follow Biz online at SoulForHire.com and SpliffHuxtable.com.

Tony Andrews
Tony makes his home in Northern Minnesota as a Technology Coordinator by trade, but he spends his summers fishing area lakes with his family. As a typical Minnesota fisherman, he likes to put his thoughts and experiences in writing on his WalleyeGuy Blog to provide a window in to the real world of fishing… the one in which many days on the lake produce nothing, and most of the fish are average-sized at best. His walleye fishing tips and advice are all based on tactics that he has found to be successful.

Chris Jones
Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, Chris spent every waking minute looking for his next fish in the lower reaches of Perth’s swan river and exploring the bays and beaches of Rottnest Island with his brothers. Following school he moved to Far North Queensland to study Marine Biology and Aquaculture and sample the tropical fishing before moving on to the Whitsunday Islands to work as a RYA Yachtmaster instructor where he found an abundance of Giant Trevally to keep him busy.

Returning home to complete a Masters of Science in Environmental Management; he reacquainted himself with the waters offshore of Perth before moving to Ningaloo to fish as hard as he possibly could for a year. A few international fishing trips later, a new job, and just a few more lost fish, and he has somehow found himself in Central California with his beautiful wife and daughter – still thinking about that next fishing mission.

Piscatus.net has been brewing for awhile now and is providing him with an outlet to share his passion for fishing with the world, hone his fishing photography, and take the edge off the cravings until that next hookup…
