Episode 79: Indy Thompson, Tuna Champions

This week we are joined by a very special guest, Indy Thompson, a Marine Scientist and Project Manager at Tuna Champions. Indy tells us about the great work that the Tuna Champions is doing to promote best practices to catch Tuna and then either respect the catch and make the most of the flesh, or alternatively return the tuna with the best chance of survival. Plus we hear all about her own journey in fishing, some of her most memorable catches and some of the unique things about how we target Tuna here in SA.

We also debrief on our own fishing adventures over Easter, Rohdey was fishing freshwater while on a family houseboat holiday, while Dizz did well on the Yorke Peninsula Squid. The other big highlight of the fishing report is Want To Fish Charters catching plenty of barrel tuna out of Portland. 

As always we have the biggest news in SA fishing:

·      A plan out of Mt Gambier to use Cod to help manage a carp problem

·      A plan for reintroduction of the Murray River Crayfish into SA waters

·      O’Sullivans Beach Boat ramp redevelopment nears commencement.

·      Kingscote Jetty works completed

·      Goolwa Cockle season extended

 Plus, we talk about the Opera House style yabby net in our tackle segment and why it is nearing a ban in South Australia.
