My passion is both fresh and saltwater barramundi fishing, it has been a lifelong obsession of mine since catching my first barra at 12 years old. My knowledge evolved after being introduced to tournament barra fishing in 2011 in which is still compete in various events in QLD and the NT. The use of Humminbird technology has allowed me to stay ahead of the competition over the years, especially following the release of Mega Imaging, allowing concise identifying of my quarry in all locations I have fished. The recent release of the Mega 360 has further expanded the ability to target these fish with near pin point accuracy. My Minn Kota electric motors have never let me down and allow me to fish daylight to dark whether it’s pre-fishing, tournament fishing, remote area fishing or a fun local day out.

I love to fish full stop by myself, with friends and with family. Estuary, inshore and offshore but barra is my main love closely followed by red emperor. I fish mostly as recreational promoting Humminbird and Minn Kota products but also fish competitions. I frequently post screenshots, tips and techniques on getting the most out of the Humminbird and Minn Kota products.
I'm currently using the Helix system but would love to move up to the newer Solix system as touch screen and other features would greatly benefit the fishing I do.
I would love to be apart of taking Humminbird and Minn Kota products into the dedicated offshore market. Getting transducers to read at speed, catching trophy fish and sharing how to do so through social media platforms, writing articles and educational videos.

I own a 5.75 cruise craft for offshore and have access to a 4.68m Sea Jay Avenger sport CC and a small 4m creek tinnie for hard to reach areas. I would love to set all 3 boats up to promote Humminbird and Minn Kota products.

I have been fishing Barramundi Tornaments around the top end of Australia for the past 15 years and recreationally i love getting away from the crowds into remote areas chasing big barra. In the past few years i have started chasing Billfish off the coast and am torn between the Barra and the Bluewater fishing. I’m loving my current setup on my Pathfinder 2500 with My Minn Kota and Mega 360 on my solix 15 at the front being the ultimate casting for barramundi set up, Having the 4 screens all linked I can view the 360 on any of the screens and can have up to 4 anglers on the boat all in touch with where the fish are making each cast count.

For My bluewater/Billfishing I have a 1KW High Wide Airmar transducer connected to my Solix 15 G2 on my Dash which gives me the best and strongest 2D picture which is always linked to my transom mount Solix to keep those looking backward for Billfish in the spread with their eyes pointing backward.

My name is Dan Kaggelis and I am a passionate recreational fishermen living on the Northern Beaches of Cairns in Far North Queensland. I have been fishing since the age of two and have been fortunate enough to fish every part of Australia and most destinations across the world. Fishing for me is not a hobby but a lifestyle and much of my life is devoted to recreational fishing and the recreational fishing industry. Not only have I been an avid print and digital media fishing journalist for the last 15 years, contributing to a number of publications, I also hold the heavy burden of being one of two recreational fishing representatives on the Department of Fisheries Coral Reef Line Fisheries Advisory Team which is solely responsible for settling rec and commercial bag limits and quotas and the development of harvest strategies to ensure the sustainability of our fishery along the East Coast of Australia.

I am fortunate that I have one of the most diverse fisheries on my doorstep which enables me to be out off the Great Barrier Reef one day and the next be half way up a mountain stream in world heritage rain forest. With such a passion for fishing I only use the best equipment and that is why I love my Minn Kota and Humminbird gear so much. There is no substitute for this gear and I wouldn't fish without my Minn Kota Bow Mount or Humminbird sounders. They are a huge factor in my fishing success an give me the confidence and ability to not only find fish but to fish them so effectively.
