Episode 143 Nathan Eatts - Cape Calamari

This week we are joined by Nathan Eatts, a sixth generation professional fisherman who runs his own business, Cape Calamari. Nathan fishes out from Cape Jervis and sells his Squid and other fish to a range of high quality Fleurieu Peninsula restaurants. The current Algal Bloom has hit Nathans business really hard, he hasn’t caught a single Squid since April 18 and has now run out of frozen stock to sell, he shares his story and uncertainty about the future. He also gives us some squidding tips and explains why the pro squidders catch so many more fish than we do!

We also have all the latest fishing news, including everything relating to the ongoing Algal Bloom:

  • Fish deaths continue all across the St Vincent Gulf
  • Federal Politicians visiting to assess the damage
  • Tackle shops meeting with industry, RecFish SA and Politicians. 
  • The reef modules that will hopefully help sea life to bounce back!

And in other fishing news:

  • Marion Bay Boat ramp review ongoing. 
  • A mutilated Great White found dead at Louth Bay near Port Lincoln with suspicions it was illegally caught. 
  • 2 men caught with over 500 illegally caught and mostly undersized Abalone. 
  • Port Noarlunga Jetty nearly ready to re-open following storm damage. 

We also have all the latest fishing news including winter whiting on the western side of Yorke Peninsula, Salmon across the state and the ongoing search for the barrel tuna to return. We feature the Minn Kota electric motor as our tackle item of the week and tease a whiting combo we are giving away to someone who is finding some positivity as we bounce back from the Algae!
