Episode 114: Brett Mensforth, SA Angler

This week we are joined by Brett Mensforth, Co-Editor of SA Angler Magazine, along with his father Shane. The magazine has recently transitioned to a digital publication and it is great to hear all about this process and how successful it has been. Brett also tells us about his own fishing recently, most notably having success catching three 100+ kilogram Southern Bluefin Tuna with his dad off the Southern Yorke Peninsula. We chat about the increasing number of barrel size fish being caught all along the state and also hear from Brett about his thoughts on some of the big fishing issues in SA.

Plus, we have all the fishing news including:

• Snapper limits in the South East to remain unchanged for another 12 months. 
• PIRSA has launched a snapper research hub on their website.
• An illegal haul of snapper and other fish from the Eyre Peninsula. 
• Another cod pod deployed by RecFish SA at Myponga Reservoir.
• O’Sullivans Beach boat ramp repairs completed.
• A huge congregation of Spider Crabs near Coffin Bay.
• A sad update on a rare King Penguin that frequented SA waters earlier in the year. 

Our tackle item of the week is the large tackle bag from Shimano we are setting up to use on our boat in the coming season. Plus we have all the latest fishing reports including winter whiting, plenty of Salmon across the state, school holiday reservoir fishing and have the Barrelltuna gone?
