His fishing reports and tips on how to catch various species in the regions newspapers, his books on the subject and more recently his television show have won plenty of followers.

His  show Fishing Australia is our country’s longest running television fishing program.  It is also the WIN Network’s flagship program.

Rob Paxevanos filmed the very first episode of Fishing Australia in the Eurobodalla 18 years ago, and has returned many times since.

In his latest filming trip to the Eurobodalla Shire he and his team believe they have captured his best episode yet. It can be viewed this Sunday, June 24 on Channel ONE,  then a repeat screening Saturday June 30, at 4:30pm on WIN Television.

“Of course there is the brilliant fishing , such as bream, flathead and jewfish - caught from houseboat, kayak and the beach...but this time there’s so much more,” Rob said.

“Besides teaching sustainable fishing  part of my job is to showcase what regions have to offer.  And when looking for ideas I was lucky enough to engage with Mayor Liz Inness and the Eurobodalla Shire Council Tourism unit. “I used their expertise to find out what best attracts people to the region. 

“As a result we filmed the areas natural beauty, bush walking, award winning oysters, seafood restaurants and Mogo Zoo to name a few.  

“I have to say I had as much fun filming these as I did the fishing, and it’s great to see everyone can enjoy the nature and fresh local fish even if they don’t wet a line!”

Fishing wise Rob covers a range of fishing scenarios from family / first time levels up to high end challenges for the more experienced angler.

Places covered include is the Clyde River - thanks to it being a protected water way with great access across all seasons. 

Furthermore, this large pristine system is fishing increasingly well because of the on flowing effects of the removal of nets when the Marine Park was implemented. 

Not only is the Clyde revered by anglers, campers and nature lovers - Rob and many of the locals are saying it’s fishing the best it has in their lifetime.  Some of the flathead are huge, and the mulloway fishing is exceptional.

In the mix is a visit to local Batemans Bay Beaches for a flatty or two, and of course the beautiful surf beaches as far south as Tilba Tilba.

There’s also a catch up with Adam Martin and team to look at the South Coast Mighty Fishing Bonanza...an new event that is set to grow into one of the biggest in Australia.

Look out also for Hailey Paxevanos, Robs 10-year-old daughter who sometimes upstages dad in the fishing stakes!

You can catch this amazing feature on Eurobodalla, this Sunday, June 24 on channel ONE, with a repeat screening Saturday, Saturday June 30, at 4:30pm on WIN Television.
