FAR SOUTH COAST, NSW · TWO NIGHTS, LIVE-IN

Fish the water Starlo fishes.

For six decades, Steve ‘Starlo’ Starling has been reading Australian water — the flats, the channels, the quiet edges where a good angler out-thinks a good fish. Now he’s opening up one intensive weekend on the far south coast of NSW to a small group willing to walk in, slow down, and fish properly.

This isn’t a boat trip and it isn’t a seminar. It’s two days of genuine finesse technique — soft plastics, hardbodies, presentation, and the patience to read a flat before you ever make a cast — taught in the actual water you’ll be fishing, by someone who’s spent more hours doing this than most of us have been alive. Places are genuinely limited.

Full weekend: $990, or $1,200 via payment plan

The weekend is confirmed and happening. Your deposit locks in the last available spot left, and comes straight off your total.

● Counts toward your final payment

Right now — Fully refundable

Your $100 secures a place, and can be refunded in full, no questions asked, any time before we reach six confirmed places.

The trigger — Six is the number

The moment our sixth deposit lands, the weekend is confirmed to run — and we commit to the venue on the spot.

From that point — Deposit locked in

Booking the venue requires us to pay for accommodation immediately. That’s the point your deposit becomes non-refundable — because by then, so is ours.

In short: if the weekend doesn’t reach six people and go ahead, you get every cent back. Once it does, we’re genuinely committed on our end too — so your deposit is what keeps the group, and the weekend, real.

Where things stand

The weekend is on.

Six places landed, the venue’s confirmed, and planning’s well underway — here’s exactly where things are at, and what’s still open.

The weekend is SOLD OUT.

Please put your name on the Waiting List for early notice of future weekend workshops.

Confirmed

Six places locked in

The weekend is running — there's no scenario now where this doesn't go ahead. The venue's booked and paid.

Right Now — Planning & Logistics

With the weekend confirmed, Starlo & Jo are finalising the session schedule, catering, and the fine detail behind the scenes (including testing the waters).

Spots still available.

Capped at twelve, eleven already in. Reserve yours the same way — $100 secures the final place.

Ready when you are: Reserving now means joining a weekend that's definitely happening, not a maybe. Full deposit and cancellation terms are confirmed at booking.
