Outdoor and Fishing Show

The Fishing Show team is Michael Guest and Gavin Pitchford

Michael Guest's love of all things aquatic was instilled at a young age, fishing, spear-fishing and windsurfing. His passion has grown into an addiction and whether it is catching bait off the wharf, teasing Marlin on the continental shelf, or crashing through undergrowth and casting at bass this is where he is most at home.

A fisherman with the environment at heart, Michael loves to spend time fishing with his family. Catch and releaseand take only what you need are the two philosophies Michael wants to instill in all young anglers.

From the watery depths to dusty roads Michael cut his teeth in the most spectacular of motorsports - rallying. Wins at State, National, Asia/Pacific and International level elevated him to be the first Australian to tackle a regular ride in the World Rally Championship.

Building and running his own rally cars in the early days has given him an intimate knowledge of race-craft engineering. This skill has been used to develop engines, suspension and tyres for manufacturers. If it's got an engine Michael can get the most out of it whether it's a car, boat or quad bike.

Even if you’re not a fan of canned baked beans you’ll love these homemade baked beans. You can use any type of beans you like, but the dried ones are the best because this recipe works best when it’s slow cooked.

They’re a great recipe to make when you’re cooking outdoors and camping, you can put them on early in the afternoon and they’ll be ready for dinner with your favourite meat or fish, or have them for breakfast with bacon, sausages and eggs, or even layered on toast. They are a great accompaniment to any meal or a meal in themselves.

This recipe is divine, even if I do say so myself, and I get many people who I give bottles to, saying the same. It is not a difficult recipe but does take time to make.
 
There are many recipes on the web, but you don’t need much more than balsamic vinegar and sugar to get the results I get. The propertion of these and how you make it however, is the key.
 
What ever quantity you make, make sure you have ¾ kg sugar to each litre of vinegar. This is measured at the beggining, not after reduction...

I have not always been able to cook a steak perfectly, but with practice and considerable trial and error, I think I have a formula that works, and it is rare (no pun intended) for my steaks to not be juicy, tender and flavourful.

It is important however that they be served medium to rare. If you come to my house nad ask for a well done steak, I generally say, cook it yourself.

Serves: 1
Preparation Time:  2 hours
Cooking Time:  Depends on the thickness of the steak but on average 4...

Clafoutis, sometimes spelled clafouti, is a baked French dessert of pitted fruit arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. It's usually served luke warm and dusted with icing sugar.



It's very easy to make on a campfire because it's literally just the fruit covered witht he batter cooked in the coals.

You'll need a covered vessel like a dutch oven so you can place the lid on. It'll take a little longer to cook than in an oven but it will be well worth the wait. There are videos for...

Hard to beat spare ribs of any type. This recipe works well with pork, beef or even lamb chops. You can marinate for as little as a couple of hours but the best flavour will be achieved if you can do it for at least 24 hours.

I suggest preparing them at home before you leave for camping and then have them the first night. 

Whilst the recipe says for 8-10, you could just have the ribs with crusty bread and only serve it to 4, then there will be many more for each person. If you serve it with salad or other accompaniments then this quantity will be more than enough for 8...
