Usually when it comes to targeting large Spanish mackerel, giant trevally, tunas and other pelagic speedsters we're fishing inshore and offshore reefs from a boat. More adventurous anglers might target these species from rocks and cliffs that give access to deep water. But a unique opportunity exists on the Western Australian coastline between Geraldton and Exmouth to target large pelagic species from the beaches! Ben Svenson has been honing his skills on these fish for the past 12 months with plenty of success and shares his learnings in todays ALF interview.

Ladies and Gents....... we need your help to restore recreational fishing in the Great Sandy Straits! 

The long awaited Draft of the Great Sandy Marine Park Rezoning is now available for public comment - and it is exceptionally good news for anglers. 

When implemented, the proposed changes will address long standing anomalies in the GSMP that have impacted the conservation values and the quality of recreational fishing in the park for decades. 

Even better, there is a final opportunity to improve the outcomes for anglers and conservationists alike by tweaking a couple of the proposed changes. 

In this interview Fraser Coast Fishing Alliance Chair Scotto Mitchell walks us through the changes and shares the final tweaks that the FCFA advocates. We urge all sport fishers, who fish the Sandy Straits regularly or just visit occassionally to complete this survey. 

Please listen to this interview and if you agree with the changes that Scotto suggests, please let the powers that be know. And if if you have other thoughts and ideas then obviously feel free to voice those too!

Today's ALF Episode is something a little bit different! I take some time to talk to professional fishing YouTuber Rodney Pacitti from the Rokkit Kit Youtube channel. I found Rodney to be one of the nicest guys on the YouTube circuit and we get into his fishing exploits, which include long offshore kayak trips and solo island hopping in a tiny inflatable boat.

In the "PLUS" edition, (available to Team Doc Lures members) Rodney and I also spend a full 20 minutes talking about the gear he uses both to shoot video and to survice alone on offshore islands. He explains how he's carved a dream life as a full time YouTube fishing personality and what anyone wanting to follow in his footsteps needs to know!
