Episode 132: Steve, Ash and Popey review the Port Lincoln Tuna Classic

This week we are looking back on what was a hugely successful Port Lincoln Tuna Classic, that Dizzy fished in recently over the March long weekend. Steve and Ash have put in a mountain of work to put on another epic event, while Ash is also able to recount his time aboard the Vatican, owned by Popey; the team took out the Calcutta prize of $100k, while also catching the most fish and Champion overall angler. This is one of the best hauls a single boat could ever hope for and a huge testament to the skill and competitive spirit showed by the whole crew! Plus the boys are able to share the dates for next year events and give us a very early preview of the 2026 competition!

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

• An update on the Algal bloom that has killed sea life and closed beaches on the Fleurieu Peninsula. 
• Rumours of an extension to the states ongoing snapper ban. 
• More yabby net exchange from RecFish SA and Green Adelaide. 

Our tackle item of the week is the new emergency weather radio from Nakd Travel, which is a great addition to anyone's gear when heading out adventuring! The product includes a radio, flashlight, battery pack and SOS alarm; it can be charged via solar panel, hand crank, AAA batteries or USB port. We also have the latest fishing report including a rare Swordfish capture out from Port Lincoln.
