Episode 131: Port Lincoln Tuna Comp wrap up + Shane Mensforth from SA Angler + Marine Safety ‘Stay Afloat’
This week have 2 big guests back for their second round on the podcast:
- Shane Mensforth from SA Angler joins us to preview the new Autumn edition of the magazine & talks about his summers fishing!
- Simon Schwerdt from Marine Safety SA comes on to promote the ‘Stay Afloat’ lifejacket clinics they are rolling out across the state to teach people how to service and maintain their own lifejackets + an overview on everything else they are doing to keep SA safe on the water!
Plus, Dizzy has just returned from fishing in the Port Lincoln Tuna Comp, with Tony Lukin, aboard his beautiful Veitch 27 Hardtop - A big thankyou to Tony for the opportunity! The competition was an epic success, with over 2,000 tuna caught and released, while the winner of the Calcutta prize, the team aboard ‘The Vatican’ took home over $100,000. While Dizzy didn’t trouble the leaderboard, he re capped an epic weekend, where plenty of fish were caught and lots of fun and banter was shared. A massive shout out to Steve Toome and Ash White for putting on another epic weekend, we can’t wait to come along again next year (Rohdey already has it in his calendar!)
We also have some more fishing news including:
- Abalone diving banned in the southern zone due to the AVG virus.
- Professional limits of Kingfish to be cracked down on.
- Bag and boat limits for Garfish and King George Whiting to remain the same.
The tackle item of the week is the Iki Pik that everyone at the Tuna comp used to humanely dispatch any fish they were keeping, while the fishing report also covered the Carp Frenzy and a lost Swordfish close to Penneshaw beach!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
