Episode 166: Marc Berry, President of the Sea Wolves Dive Club
This week we are joined by Marc Berry, the President of the Sea Wolves Dive Club to chat about all things SA Diving and in particular to chat about their recent dives on the new artificial reef off Wirrina. Marc also tells us about the club - they have over 100 members, meet weekly in the southern suburbs, have a number of trips every year and also love to have a drink and share stories. We hear about some of the best dives off the Adelaide coast and compare the best methods for catching Crayfish.
We also have all of the news in SA fishing:
The Yorkes Spatial Closure on Whiting fishing has re opened early.
A temporary ban on diving and swimming around the Whyalla Cuttlefish congregation.

 Episode 165: Jet Worsteling
This week we are joined by a guy who is gun fisho, rising media star and genuine good bloke, Jet Worsteling. Having first joined us in April 2024, Jet is back for another chat about all that he has been up to! He is slowly but surely taking over the IFish TV show from his dad, has recently visited SA to fish all around Port Lincoln and also presented at a Flathead Forum for RecFish SA. He has also been smashing the fish off the east coast of Tassie, including an epic day out catching a Marlin, Swordfish and Yellowfin Tuna all in the one day! But the fish he still wants to tick off his bucket list - a Samson Fish, right here in SA!

Episode 163: Brad Towler, Fleurieu Charters
This week we have a huge guest who has made some SA Fishing history in the last few days, catching a barrel sized Southern Bluefin Tuna off the Fleurieu Peninsula. After first seeing some massive fish on the sounder and having his school Tuna gear spooled, he returned the next day with heavier tackle and sealed the deal! Brad gives us an insight into how hes been catching them over multiple trips out this week, plus talks us through a slower than normal School Tuna season but strong recent form on Whiting, Gummy sharks and reef species! This is a chat not to be missed and very timely with these fish only being caught for the first time this week!

This week we are joined by Tyson Kain for his third appearance on the podcast. Tyson is the skipper of Want To Fish Charters and works out of Port MacDonnell in the winter and Wirrina in the summer. Tys has had a ripper start to the season of giant Southern Bluefin Tuna, having caught 18 ‘Barrel’ sized tuna so far this season. He tells us about the recent Port MacDonnell Offshore Angling Comp, including his epic first day catching 7 Barrels. He also recalls an epic recent catch of a 100+ kilogram Mako Shark and also gives us a wrap up of what was a relatively slower season of fishing off Wirrina over the warmer months. Tyson is always very generous with his time and knowledge so is well worth a listen.
