2 Pelicans Podcast

Welcome back, you pelicans!
 We packed up the gear — and the chooks — and hit the road to the Gold Coast for this year’s AFTA Trade Show.

In this episode, we dive into all the weird and wonderful things we saw at the show, chat about the standout gear, and even take a call from the one and only P2, who dials in to launch a full-scale assault on the mic.

We’ve also dropped in some longer reels originally shot for Facebook — too good not to share — with legends like Steve Morgan, Kris Hickson, Josh Lowry, and Curtis Waterman, as they talk us through some of their favourite new products on display.

Then we wrap the week that was and get on the blower to the man behind the JML Crab Weight — Blake O’Grady. He shares the story behind the design, the testing process, and how he pairs it with the Marukyu Crab for deadly results.

It’s a big one — full of laughs, legends, and lure talk. Let’s get into it.

🎣🏌️‍♂️ RIGHTO PELICANS — HOT OFF THE PRESS 🐔🔥

Strap in and grab a chook, this one’s straight from the Florida swamps! 🌴🐊
We’ve got BTH in his natural habitat — talking war stories, smashing golf balls, and casting lines like a seasoned pro.

🎙️ P1’s not pulling any punches, asking the tough questions about content creation, pushing through the negativity, and keeping it real in the digital world.

👨‍✈️ PLUS: Top Gun tales that'll have you leaning in. 
Plus A few spicy thoughts on Trump.
🎣 And what’s next? BTH is gearing up for the Bass Open Circuit — and he’s not here to play small.

Welcome back, ya chook-fuelled legends! The pelicans are back around the bait bucket for Episode 53, and this one’s a ripper.

We’re deep-diving into the comp fishing chaos this week – from the QFFT to the QTS and every acronym in between. If it’s competitive and on water, we’re probably talking about it (and probably arguing about it too).

💥 Highlights:

P1 proves once and for all he can’t punt to save himself 🎲

P3 takes the reins as P1 suffers a full-blown head explosion 🧠💥

We accidentally spill the beans on next week’s special guest – yep, it’s already in the can, and you won’t want to miss it 👀

And yep… we wrap things up with a bit of controversy that might just make your blood boil 🔥

Strap in, crack a cold chook, and let’s get into it!

🎣 Welcome back to the 2 Pelicans Podcast – Here to Make Fishing Great Again! 🎣

This week we're diving into the CVSFC Bream Open held on the mighty Clarence River. Big shoutout to Fin Dog & Son for getting it done – top effort! It was one of those cracker days both on and off the water. The bream were firing, everyone filled their bags, and the yarns were flowing. Oh, and yes… P1’s officially been dubbed a Mud Gudgoen – find out why!

We also catch up with Wayne from The Fishing Shed Bathurst to talk about the Macquarie Perch – the fight to get them restocked and thriving again in local waters. Want to help bring this iconic fish back in numbers? Tune in to learn how you can get involved.

Welcome back to another episode of the 2 Pelicans Podcast.
We're keeping it low-key this week—still recovering from the madness of the last episode.

As always, we're blown away by P2’s Weekly Word of Wisdom—this one hits different.
We also run through the comps that have gone down over the past week, and preview the ones coming up.

We take a moment to reflect on the wild ride that is July for the Pelicans, and of course—we couldn't hit our 50th episode without saying thank you.

Huge shoutout to the legends who’ve supported us from the start: Wobbly Chook Brewing Co. and Daiwa Australia.
To celebrate the milestone, we’ve got a giveaway coming your way—so stay tuned for the details!

🎙️ Welcome back to the 2 Pelicans Podcast!

We've officially hit a milestone — our 50th episode! While it's a bit of a low-key celebration (the boys have been flat-out busy), there's plenty happening behind the scenes. Think: new shirts, giveaways, and even some fishing trips in the works.

This week, the boys dive into a stack of comp results and chat about what’s coming up next — from QFFT to ABT and everything in between.

Oh, and yes... we’re off to AFTA!

Most importantly, we take a moment to reflect on reaching 50 episodes and share the mic with P2, looking back at how the 2 Pelicans Podcast all started. From the highs to the lows, it's been one hell of a ride — and we’re stoked to share this moment with you.

Welcome back, legends — it's Episode 49 of the 2 Pelicans Podcast, and wow... tech absolutely cooked us this week.

Demons in the desk, gremlins in the gear — apologies in advance for any audio quirks, but we wrestled the digital devils and still got the episode out. Barely.

This week’s a cracker:

P3 hit Lake Somerset and ripped into the bass at the Bass Electric — even snuck in a cheeky kip during comp time and still managed to land second place. Absolute scenes.

Also, P3 hit the water with special guest Bo Sawyer. They had a solid fish and an even better yarn — and we get into it all on the pod.

We talk:

Beau’s time with Captn's Charter

The Dolphin story (yes, that one!)

The Gold Coast Flathead Classic

And Beau’s latest gig at S Tackle, plus the mint-looking plastics they’re rolling out — P3’s given 'em a flick, and he's frothing."


"So kick back, crack a chook  — it’s Episode 49: Tech Fury as the Lads Battle It, with Beau Sawyer. Let’s get into it."

the Forster back-to-back ABT rounds.

Some absolute gold came out of this trip — from epic camp moments to tight battles on the water. You don’t want to miss these stories!

We also chat about the next comps coming up:
✅ Bass Electric at Somerset Dam
✅ QTS on the Tweed
If you're heading to either of those, we’ve got some handy insight and updates.

PLUS — we call up Matt from Barambah Lures for a ripper convo. Hear how he got into the lure game, what’s new at Barambah, and maybe even get inspired to try making your own lures!

And to top it off… a classic P2 yarn — you won’t believe what happened out on the water!

This week, the sun is out and the comps are underway—and we’ve got a jam-packed episode for you.

🏕️ First up, we dive into the outcome of the Kyogle Fishing Club meeting as they push to get the Toonumbar campsite reopened.

🦐 Then it’s time for the Yamba Yabby’s right of reply, after the Ginja Ninja dropped a rather horrific video that’s been making the rounds. You don’t want to miss that.

🌊 We catch up with Kris Hickson to talk about the Mid North Coast floods and how Manning River Marine is bouncing back. Kris also shares his take on how Forster is likely to fish with two back-to-back ABT rounds on the horizon.
We hear from the Australian Bass World Championship captain, who briefs us on upcoming fundraising events for the team.

🎣 And finally—our Topic of the Week:
Lures getting copied. That’s right—we’re diving into the often awkward world of lure designs, intellectual property, and social media blowups. Let’s just say: P3’s got a special challenge ahead.

Welcome back to the 2 Pelicans Podcast, we dive straight into a massive week for fishing fanatics and waterway warriors across Australia.

This week’s been anything but calm, with wild weather and floods wreaking havoc across the region. We unpack the impact these floods have had, especially on local fisheries and access to our favourite spots.

🎣 Tough Conditions at Whyalong Dam & Battle of the Border
We also recap a rugged weekend of competition fishing, starting with the Bass Electric at Whyalong Dam. If you were out there, you know just how brutal the conditions got. From sideways rain to glassed-out calm, it was anyone’s guess when the bass would fire up.

Then there was the QTS Battle of the Border – and yep, the rivalry is still alive and well. Tune in as we debate (somewhat civilly) which state took home the glory. Was it the Sunshine State or those proud southerners? There's a bit of controversy, and let's just say – the Pelicans may not agree…

🏕️ Toonumbar Dam Closure – Say What?!
In a shock move, Water NSW has closed the campgrounds at Toonumbar Dam. Yep – WTF?! This decision has sparked outrage among local fishers and campers who rely on the area for recreation, comps, and community catch-ups.

To shed more light, we called in David from the Kyogle Fishing Club (KFC) to talk about the fallout and what can be done. There’s a petition to get the campgrounds reopened, and it needs your support. We’ll drop the link in the comments – please sign and share!

📞 Listener Call-ins & Shoutouts
Finally, we hear from a couple of our loyal listeners who phoned in with some cracking yarns and insights. Keep the calls coming – we love hearing your stories from the water and beyond.
