Jamie Durie
I'm heading out for a fish today with someone more at home on soil than sea… celebrity gardener Jamie Durie.
It's a glorious morning on the Hawkesbury River, and Greg Joyes is taking us on the hunt for trevally.
I'm surprised Jamie can find time to wet a line. When he's not shooting Nine's top-rating garden makeover show "Backyard Blitz", he runs a thriving landscaping business called Patio.
It's been a meteoric rise for the former horticulture student, who started out running a little garden shop in North Sydney.
Well, we're in the right spot, on the last of the run-out tide, and the bread burley's gone overboard.
Unfortunately, the trevally don't seem to be in the mood today.
We're trolling slowly near the rocks, but no joy as yet.
Jamie has been fronting Backyard Blitz for three years now. In that time, he and the crew have turned many a suburban wasteland into a garden of Eden.
Jamie and I went fishing with Greg Joyes from Calmwater Fshing Charters. Greg does morning and evening charters seven days a week. Charters start at just $110 per person and Greg will tailor the trip to suit the anglers.
