Tournament Gun Keeghan Painter spends todays episode going through five of his favourite spring bass fishing haunts, helping us to understand how each one fishes as the weather starts to warm.
Episode 549: Northern NSW Land-Based Jewfish With Josh Annand
The NSW Northern coastline is a superb destination for a great many prized fishing species, but few are so revered as the jewfish. Definitely one the country’s more challenging fish species on lures, it’s understandable that many keen jewfish anglers guard their knowledge closely. Today’s guest Josh Annand isn’t one of those though. He came onboard the ALF podcast to share what he’s learned about targeting jewfish on lures from the stones – and he didn’t hold back.
Episode 548: Brisbane Kayak Threadfin With Luke Lispet
Chasing threadfin salmon is tons of fun at the best of times, but when it’s done from a kayak in a busy port and the fish are frequently metre plus specimens, it’s downright exhilarating. Today I chat with Yakhunter Australia founder Luke Lispet about his consistent success catching quality threadies from the Brisbane River out of a kayak. Even if those not into kayak fishing will find this conversation inspiring, but for the keen yak fishers it’s definitely one not to miss!
