Michael Guest and ET vow to come back
Written by Alan Richardson
The Nickol Bay Sportfishing club and sponsors recently hosted a great evening with Michael Guest (Guesty) and Andrew Ettingshausen (ET).
Guesty and ET were in the region to do some filming for their fishing shows and so took the opportunity to host the free event that was open to club members and the public.
Michael Guest's (Guesty's) achievements include many international and Australian rally car champions with many victories and titles.
He is now the face of Pirtek and has his own successful fishing show ‘Fishing the Edge’, and is a contributor towards Australian fishing and boating journals and magazines.
Michael is also a regular on Andrew Ettingshausen's fishing show ‘Escape with ET.’
Michael and his wife Lisa also successfully co-ordinate the Pirtek Fishing challenge, which is Australia's only truly national fishing competition that aims to raise awareness and funds for the research of prostate cancer.
Andrew Ettingshausen or ET as he is known, is an Australian rugby league champion.
With 328 first grade games for the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks and representation at NSW state and 25 first class games with the Australian rugby league kangaroo's team, Andrew is one of the most respected players Australia has ever produced.
Since retiring from the game, ET has become a popular national fishing identity with his successful TV show ‘Escape with ET’, with an estimated audience on Foxtel and commercial channels in excess of 900, 000. ET tours Australia and overseas to do filming often with special guest presenter Michael Guest.
ET and Guesty were filming in the Shire of Roebourne area which included a tour of the impressive Rio Tinto Cape Lambert operation where they got to check out the tug boats and the port operations as special guests.
They also did filming of the Woodside NW Shelf Venture and were impressed at the scale of the projects in the region.
Michael and ET shared their experiences and presented a special demonstration to the crowd on tournament lure fishing for bream.
There were also sponsor give aways, door prizes and complimentary copies of Michaels popular ‘Fishing the Edge’ DVD which is also free on You Tube.
Both Michael and ET are passionate about fishing, getting the juniors into the sport and the conservation of fish stocks for the future.
Michael and ET were very impressed with the warm Pilbara welcome and the quality of the local fishing and fishers conservation efforts, and vowed to be back to do some more filming in the area.
A great time was had by all that attended.
