Episode 77: Dr Crystal Beckman, SARDI

This week we are joined by Dr Crystal Beckman, who is a Research Scientist at SARDI and was involved in the recently released ‘Survey of Recreational Fishing in South Australia in 2021-22.’ It was great to chat with Dr Beckman about how the research was conducted, some of the interesting findings and what this means for rec fishing into the future.

We also discuss our recent week away fishing with our families to Yorke Peninsula, including catching plenty of whiting, squid, scallops, crabs and crayfish + one big fail, a near ‘Donut’ trip to Althorpe Island off Marion Bay. Our tackle item if the week is the Shimano Sephia Clinch Boost squid jig, in Keimura White colour, which did the damage when we were fishing in long cork weed off Pine Point. 

We also have all the latest fishing news including:

·        The RecFish SA Nature Adventure Day during the School Holidays

·       The Port Vic fishing comp over Easter

·       More stocking of local reservoirs

·       A big fish kill in Menindee NSW as the flood waters recede.

Plus our highlights of the week, the latest fishing report including where the Tuna are biting and a reminder about our ongoing Shimano give away for sharing your photos with us on social media.
