James is a fifth-generation fisher working out of Forster. He decided to join the family business in 2022, and started out as a deckhand under a traineeship.

What James loves about fishing: I love the challenge of finding and catching fish. Getting to be outdoors for work is the best, rain or shine! Not to mention fishing’s a great way to get some exercise in.

What James loves about the marine environment: I love the diversity of sea life we get to see on the water!

Find out more about James’ catch on the Great Lakes Fisheries website, where he sells his fish through.
