In this episode we leave the kayaks behind as we travel back to Western Australia and cover the ABT round on the Blackwood river.

I think this is one of the more interesting venues on the bream fishing circuit. I find it interesting that several anglers have spoken about getting "wooded." This venue also can produce huge numbers of fish as you will hear in this episode.

We have 5 x angler interviews  starting with second in the non-boater division. Blair Paisley-Kerr shares how day one started slowly but with his boater Matt McCarthy they made the decision to change location. Listen in to see what changes Blair made to help him catch enough fish to finish in 1st place overnight and in second place after day two.

I then had a very interesting discussion with Aden Miller who is usually a shore based angler. Aden fished for bream from a boat for the first time in this competition, but it did not start smoothly. Aden spoke about what he and his boater, Paul Burton did on day 1 to overcome some motoer issues. This was also Aden's first ABT competition and to win his division is a great story.

In 4th place in the boater division was repeat guest Matt McCarthy. Matt's and Blair fished together on day 1 and now you get to hear the other side of that story. Matt tried a couple of unusual lures that produced results. You will need to listen to see what he used and what caught fish!

We then move in to second place and talk with Alex Greisdorf. This is one of Alex's favourite systems and used his prefish to rule out some areas. Using his knowledge of the system Alex was able to fill his bags quickly and was then able to upgrade throughout the day. Alex also shared some insights around bream spawning and how water temperature can affect the fishing.

FInally, for the second time in two Blackwood River rounds, I spoke with the winner Joseph Gardiner. Last time I spoke with Joseph we talked about a new lure which was proving to be very successful. This time he spills the beans..... but not before Alex did in his interview. I also spoke briefly about his mother Jenny who fished this event. This is another great story. 

I look forward to the next round in WA,which I believe is the Swan River Round in the kayaks.
