19/10/2018 “I had the good fortune to spend a couple of days fishing and filming with Simon Fitzpatrick of Northern Rivers Sportfishing a week or so ago in the far north east of NSW. I know Simon best through his great habitat work with OzFish Unlimited, but he’s also a top notch fishing guide with wonderful knowledge of a range of waterways.” – Steve Starling

17/11/2015 “The early morning start was worth it if just for the peace, tranquility and stunning surrounds. The fish were playing hard to get but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, pedaling around beautiful Clarrie Hall Dam with Simon. Will be coming back to the stunning spot again.” – Debbie & Keith

02/10/2016 “Simon’s package is perfect for anyone keen to catch bass on lure or fly. Learn skills and enjoy using top gear. The slayer 10 kayaks are very interesting water craft and a real bonus to use. Simon is very skilled and great company. He helps and instructs but also gives you space to explore the estuary and equipment you are using. Highly recommended and great value.” – Pip.

11/02/2017 “A truly fantastic adventure!
Simon made sure everything was prepared and planned perfectly. He taught me how to fish for Australian bass with very insightful explanations and suggestions. The paddle kayak is amazing, it allowed me to sneak up quitely and cast in to the best spots.
Simon is a really cool instructor, he’s passionate about fishing and goes out of his way to help.
I couldn’t of asked for a better birthday present!” – Ned

We were out of peak fishing season so that proved challenging but the beauty of the places he suggested we fish was worth the investment alone and then to connect with a few of these pocket rockets was great fun and memorable.I will definitely return and recommend it to my fly fishing friends from down south and having fished with guides all around the world this outfit is up with the best.”– regards Dan

3/10/2017. “What a fantastic way to spend a morning with my 12 year old son. Catching some good quality bass on the upper Tweed in kayaks. Simon is a great bloke, very knowledgeable and his service was 1st class. Could not fault it and we will be back. To all the dad’s out there thinking about a great morning to spend with your kids, give this a go! Thanks again Simon!” – Ben.

9/10/2017. “I’ll start by saying I highly recommend Simon and his knowledge of the beautiful tweed river. I had a great day of fishing landing 8 or 9 bass and 2 of which on surface. Even with a bit of rain about it didn’t slow us down. Simon knew where the fish were and had the right gear to go with it. The kayaks are ideal for that type of fishing and I had no trouble fishing for a good 6 hours in the comfort of the native kayak. Even if the fishing wasn’t as hot as it was the scenery and wildlife is unreal. All in all it’s a great day out with a very knowledgeable guide. Cheers Andrew”

29/01/2018 “Had a great morning with Simon fishing for bass. Bagged half a dozen and lost as many more. Simon knows his stuff, has top quality gear and is great company. Makes a killer iced coffee too.”

7/12/2019 “Simon Fitzpatrick was the most professional and knowledgeable person I’ve had the pleasure to Fish with. His passion, patience and technique was amazing. Anyone thinking of fishing the Northern Rivers area needs to book a day with Simon. Worth every cent and the scenery is breathtaking.”– Michael Gough

5/12/2020 “Just spent a day with Simon chasing Bass (Clarrie Hall Dam) and a two day camping trip with Michael (“Harry”) stalking Murray Cod and Golden Perch (Tenterfield). These guys are on top of their guiding game! Experienced great fishing in both locations. They generously shared their immense local knowledge and are wonderful company. Both are passionate about fish conservation, fish habitat protection and restoration and are doing great work with Ozfish Unlimited as Chapter Presidents of their respective regions.

Whether you are a fly or lure fisher, do yourself a favour and get out with Northern Rivers Sportfishing. You won’t regret it.” – Brian Elton
