Episode 149: Alicia Bolitho, Tackleworld Port Lincoln & Pt Augusta

This week we are joined by Alicia Bolitho, one half of the team behind Tackleworld Port Lincoln & Pt Augusta, along with partner Shane who has featured on the podcast already in episodes 111 and 123. Alicia has been heavily involved in all things Algal Bloom, representing the tackle industry in her role as the SA Board Member for AFTA, so it is great to hear how she is pushing the case of the local tackle shops. We also get an update on the great fishing that is currently on offer on the Eyre Peninsula, including massive Kingfish at Port Augusta, land based KGW at Port Lincoln and everything in between. With very minimal Algae over that way, the Eyre Peninsula would be a great place to go for a Summer Fishing Holiday. 

We also have all the latest news in SA fishing including:

• A slight increase in bag limits for Kingfish and Crayfish.
• Cockle season is open for bait collection only with Brevotoxins making them unsafe to eat.
• The Spencer Gulf Ferry is again not running. 
• An update on the ‘Lets Go Fishing Comp’ - No winners yet but a huge $530 monthly prize has been won.
• The specific species of Algae responsible for the Brevotoxins has been identified and we’ve all been blaming the wrong one!
• Federal report released outlining some issues with the government's reaction to the Algal Bloom.
• Paul Cook is the winner of the Bream Master SA Angler of the Year!

We also have all our normal segments with The Fishing Guru Bait and Burley Dough mix, our tackle item of the week and a great option to leave in the car for an emergency bait supply! Our tackle report includes Rohdey catching the bag of Crayfish on the opening day of the season, plenty of massive Kingfish around Port Augusta and some big land based Snapper from Victor Harbor.
