Episode 111: Shane Hodgens, Tackle World Port lincoln

This week we are joined by Shane Hodgens, the man behind one of the best tackle shops we’ve seen, in Tackle World Port Lincoln. Shane shares his journey into the tackle industry and how they have recently opened up in a huge new location as well as talks us through everything happening in fishing on the Eyre Peninsula. We discuss some of the amazing recent catches with a Swordfish caught last week, believed to be the first caught recreationally from Port Lincoln and also large numbers of 100+ kilogram tuna being caught. 

We also have all the latest fishing news, including:

• The Tumby Bay jetty has re-opened after an 18 month closure.
• The Goolwa Cockle season is now closed but an increased bag limit for next year has been announced. 
• Sharks have returned to the Neptune Islands after a 94 day absence.
• Caleb Murray pushing for people with a disability to chase their goals!

Our tackle item of the week is the clip on bells that we were missing when carp fishing while camping over the weekend and we also have all of the fishing reports across the state. 

Plus, we are bringing back our monthly photo competition with some great prize packs thanks to Shimano.
