Episode 75: Wil Richards

This week we are joined by Will Richards, who won the Grand Champion prize at the Coast 2 Coast Tuna Comp for the largest fish in a boat over 6m, with his boat weighing in at 16.95kg gutted. Will and his team ‘Team Unreel’ travelled a long way out to Sanders Bank in the rough weather on the Saturday for only a few small fish, before fishing closer to home on the Sunday and landing the winning fish quite closer to the boat ramp! Will is a Kingston local, with lots of experience fishing for big Kingfish in the area and even hooked a barrel when the fish came through that area a few years ago. Wills family runs the local Ampol Roadhouse turned tackle shop and have scales to weigh in big Mulloway from the Coorong as well as all your  bait, tackle and local fishing advice. We are heading down that way next weekend and hoping to get out with Will for a fish if the weather plays the game!

As always we also discuss all the big news in SA fishing including:
·      A wrap up from another hugely successful Coast 2 Coast Tuna Comp last weekend

·      Talk of a buyout of pro Snapper licenses in the gulf

·      Active Club Funding now available for fishing clubs.

·      Some concerning stats around flake being sold in local fish and chip shops

·      The Murray River Flood Declaration officially lifted 

Plus we have a  full wrap of our  day out fishing with Want To Fish Charters in the Coast 2 Coast, while we didn’t win, we did catch 30+ good size Tuna and had a ripper day out with Tyson! We also have all your fishing reports including discussing how to target the local metro Tuna + our tackle item of the week is a daisy chain from Troll So Hard lures which did the damage on heaps of tuna in the comp!
