Episode 127  - Kane Reardon

This week we are joined by gun Victorian fisho and new TV fishing personality Kane Reardon. Kane and his good mate Aaron ‘Red’ Habgood (guest in episode 82) have recently launched their own fishing show ‘Red’s Fishing Adventures’ which you can find on 7 Plus. The show follows these 2 mates ticking fish and experiences off their bucket lists, taking them from their home in Victoria to Marlin in NSW, 2 episodes in Exmouth and even an episode chasing Samson Fish from Marion Bay in SA. We chat with Kane about his own fishing journey, his experiences and opinions on fishing in SA and talk about Reef Thief Lures and Bangers Teasers, a couple of local brands he is involved with. 

We also have all of the fishing news from across SA including:

• RecFish SA’s Murray Cod monitoring program in local reservoirs has come to an end.
• Free ramp use at Wirrina while the Cape Jervis ramp is out of action. 
• Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis has again been detected in the states southeastern waters.
• A definite ‘No’ to offshore wind farms in SA.
• Carp Frenzy is on again soon at Lake Bonney.
• A couple more RecFish SA events at Port Noarlunga and West Lakes.

We also review our own weekends fishing out to Althorpe Islands off Marion Bay where we caught Nannygai, Flathead and Whiting, but did have some issues cooking lunch! Our tackle item of the week comes from this trip, the Shimano Tekota 600 Overhead reel which was great for jigging and when paired with the Game Type J rod was a lot lighter than the rods we used to jig with. We also discuss some of our social media discussions around whether Nannies are better eating than Whiting and different ways people cook their Whiting. 

As always we have the local fishing reports including the Tuna finally arriving off the Fleurieu, summer favourites in blue swimmer crabs and yellowfin whiting are on and one listener catching heaps while on summer holidays in the South East.
