The south-eastern coast of Australia hosts a highly unique specialised
land-based game fish fishery (LBGF) for tunas, billfish,
sharks and other neritic pelagic species, which has existed since
at least the 1960s. The fishery exists due to the continental shelf
being close to a coastline of large rocky headlands that provide fishers
with access to relatively deep waters. The southward-flowing
East Australian Current (EAC) strengthens in the Austral summer
and transports warm water, and seasonally moving game fishes,
within close proximity of the coast (Ridgway and Godfrey, 1997).

The low cost of capital and participation relative to offshore boatbased
fishing and increased exposure in the popular fishing media
has seen the LBGF increase in popularity in recent years.
