Fishing, but of course; this is King Island. From squid, sweep, salmon and gummy the choice is endless . There is always something to catch from the wharfs at Currie, Grassy and from the Naracoopa jetty or from one of the vast number of pristine beaches.
Matthew Archer is a 5th generation King Islander and knows the island's prevailing weather conditions. He can organise beach or boat tours, where you are sure to come home with a prized catch.
