Episode 145: Ben Calvert
This week we are joined by Ben Calvert, his second time on the podcast having previously joined us in episode 97 to chat about his success fishing Barra comps in Far North Queensland. This time we are discussing things closer to home, Ben is locked in to work for RecFish SA on their clinics this summer, teaching women and kids how to fish and also running some knot tying sessions. He also gives us a comprehensive guide on how to catch more Mulloway on the Coorong, including tips for using your sounder to find fish and how to modify soft plastics to get better action out of them!
We also announce the winner of our competition promoting positivity in fishing, despite the algal bloom. Lisa Jarvis is our lucky winner, taking home a Shimano Ultegra 2500 reel and Izalus 702 Medium-Light Rod, for her photos of a shark her son caught off Victor and the sunset when visiting the Port Broughton Tourist Park.
As always we have all the latest SA fishing news including:
- More potential freshwater fish stocking into a range of new locations.
- RecFish are working on artificial reef builds off KI and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
- An update on the Marion Bay boat ramp which has had the walkway removed.
- Federal Inquiry into the algal bloom with fears around Tuna mortality and fewer Sardines among other species.
- New SA health advice around the effect of the algae on those with respiratory conditions.
Plus, we feature the Hook Eze as our tackle item of the week and have all the latest fishing reports including Spencer Gulf Whiting, South East Garfish and a wrap up of the Australian Salmon Comp on the Eyre Peninsula.
