Episode 124: Tom Hams from Port Hughes Fishing Charters

This week we are joined by Tom who has recently taken over Port Hughes Fishing Charters. After changing careers from shearing to commercial fishing, Tom has now found his dream job taking over a successful charter business in a well renowned fishing region. Tom talks us through his fishing background and journey to taking over the business, what customers can expect on a day out and shares some of the coolest things he has seen on the water.

As always, we have all the latest fishing news including:

• Investigation into a mass die off of a number of important aquaculture species at SARDI’s West Beach Facility.
• New members added to the RecFish SA board.
• An update on dredging to get the Cape Jaffa Marina back up and running
• New rules around protection of Sharks and Rays. 
• A Victorian town is putting its hand up to be the home of the Vic Fisheries Carp Herpes trial program after carp ruined its yachting event.

Plus, we have all the states fishing reports including Rohdeys hunt for a Mulloway, a boating mission of West Beach with the kids, summer species turning up in time for Christmas and a chat about when the tuna will arrive locally. We also discuss an old favourite, the paravane, as our tackle item of the week and announce Trevor Dean as our winner of the November photo competition thanks to Shimano.
