Fish
Whisperer Wazza
|
|
Nearly
all the fish Wazza has ever caught have been caught
during the making of FW episodes.
As a fisherman, he is not much chop at all, but does
provide hours of myrth and entertainment for Paul and
Dave by way of his complete lack of skill and ability
with a rod in his hand.
Of course, with a background in advertising, performing,
comedy writing, drumming and public speaking, it's probably
to be expected.
Wazza is the narrator of the Fish Whisperers which he
loves because it gives him the chance to get revenge
on Paul and Dave for anything they do to him during
filming. This includes such things as throwing tomatoes
at him while he's asleep, waking him up with a camera
in his face after only 90 minutes sleep, giving him
dud bait and bogus information and deliberately putting
him in situations where vomiting is virtually guaranteed.
All that aside though, he relishes the opportunity to
spend time with his mates, making this show and thinks
its hilarious that anyone would take the time to watch
it, but is delighted and appreciates it when they do.

Fish Whisperer Dave
|
Dave
was born 2nd march 1962, in Adelaide, Australia.
He’s been fishing nearly every day since
he was born, except for a period between the ages
of 17 and 22 where he found girls and fast motorcycles
to be of a primary interest.
That all changed in 1985 when he met and married
his lovely bride Toni (fishing widow), on the
24th December 1985. They have 3 great kids, Kylie,
Jhi & Zoë, and a new grandson Myles.
There is a possibility they would all require
some form of medal or government recognition for
putting up with Dave’s fishing over the
years.
Professionally, Dave was very successful as a
builder from the age of 14 to retirement at 42.
He now lives in Yamba, New South Wales, about
as close to paradise as you can get and owns Yamba
Bait and Tackle with his brother in law Derek
(also known as Poofo the magical clown, but that’s
another story altogether).
As Dave says:
“Basically I am just the average bloke who
loves fishing, talking about fishing, cleaning
fish, teaching fishing, telling lies about fishing,
etc. etc. you get the idea. I am fortunate enough
to have 2 good mates in Wazza & Paul to spend
the time with, making the Fish Whisperers and
having a ball, fishing. I hope you enjoy watching
the Fish Whisperers as much as we do making it.”

Fish Whisperer Paul
|
 |
Paul is a very large
unit, 115 kg, 6 ft 4, hands the size of small countries.
Like Dave, Paul has been fishing since before he could
walk. In Australia he is a very well known television
personality, appearing in countless fishing and outdoor
programs, doing the nightly fishing reports for channel
9 Queensland, daily radio reports, writing for daily
newspapers and fishing magazines and guest speaking
at expos, conventions and to anyone else who would care
to listen or is too scared of his hulking frame to walk
away.
Mention anything to do with fishing and his eyes light
up. It’s even hard to get him out of the tuna
aisle at the supermarket. Not that he goes to the supermarket
all that much, he’d rather catch something in
the wild and eat it.
Paul is a lively, jovial, gentle giant whose passion
for fishing and adventuring jump out of him like a Dolphin
on heat.
He seems to have a natural ability to surprise the rest
of the team on a daily basis with a left field comment
or a refreshingly brutal display of “putting a
prawn to sleep”.
He is the most experienced media personality, also the
only media personality, of all the Fish Whisperers,
yet he has very little ego, with the possible exception
of demanding that his fish be cleaned using Evian water.

Fish Whisperer Kelly – the camera chick.
|
Kelly
has the hardest job in the Fish Whisperers.
She has to capture on film all the ramblings, dropped
fish, hooked fish, snags, arguments, crab leg breakings,
jetty launches, trolls, live bait pumps, filletings,
cooking, baiting, knot tying and anything else we’d
care to throw at her in our mostly unprofessional and
off the cuff manor (with the exception of Paul aka “the
talent).
More than once Kelly has successfully managed to hold
a camera perfectly still and focused on the subject
at hand, whilst being violently ill over the side of
whatever boat we are in.
Kelly is a happy morning person, a very valuable asset
in the FW camp.
Kelly also runs a very successful production company
specializing in corporate dvds, commercials and filming
events.
She is a very tolerant person who is not in the least
fazed by the other Whisperers’ trumpet bums. She
is our rock, our stability and possibly the only one
of us with any common sense.
