Darren is a 2nd generation fisherman who began fishing in 1996, before becoming a professional fisherman in 2000. Darren fishes from his 6.1m abalone vessel ‘Stiff ripples’, on the New South Wales south coast, using hookah/air hose and hand gathering techniques. Darren loves the flexibility in which fishing provides, being outside in the elements and witnessing the ever-evolving underwater habitat.
