Captain Luke Fallon
Captain Luke Fallon's dream of a life on the sea started while daydreaming in the school classroom,
and now 20 years on Luke has carved out a career, which has seen him become one of the most respected,
and successful Captains chartering the East Coast of Australia.
Luke's resume includes being at the helm of The Warrigal, Reef Hunter,
Reel Easy 2 and the last 5 years on the Assegai. Throughout these times
Luke has competed and been successful in many of the big game fishing tournaments
along the coast from Lizard Island to Bermagui. Some of Luke's highlights have been
catching 9 giant marlin in a single day heavy tackle fishing, and a career that has
landed many fish close to and above 1000lbs, the biggest being a staggering 1298lbs.
Luke is now enjoying the helm of his latest charge, a brand new 47-foot custom built vessel KEKOA,
coming from the already popular and very successful stable of O'Brien boats in Townsville, Australia.
Luke's years of experience have been moulded into the 47ft design, working hands on with the highly
renowned boat building team of Peter and Leigh O'Brien ensuring that nothing is left to spare in producing the ultimate game fishing weapon.
Kelly Dalling
Kelly began fishing as a youngster with parents Jim and Anne Dalling, both keen fisher people and well-known in Australian game
fishing circles. As a junior Angler during a Whitsundays fishing competition, she set a then IGFA World Record which still stands
as an Australian Junior and Ladies Record and kick-started her angling career.
Kelly returned to Australia in 2005 after close to 10 years living and working in Japan, where, as a Sales and Marketing Professional,
she headed marketing for the largest foreign business organization in the country.
Since returning from overseas Kelly has enjoyed re-immersing herself in the Australian fishing scene.
In late 2005, she spent the Giant Black Marlin Season alongside her skipper father aboard REEL CHASE and created
the widely talked about Black Marlin Fishing Blog - posting daily fishing reports from the Coral Sea. Her on-the-pulse
reporting has seen her quoted in fishing publications along the east coast and she has become a regular contributor for the same.
She now splits her sea time between REEL CHASE and KEKOA. Her new blog is titled Fish 2 Dish.
