Episode Title: "Round Four Recap: Bream Masters SA Akuma Round at Onkaparinga River"

Episode Description:

First, we recap the event highlights, starting with some impressive early catches and the shifts in tactics as competitors tried to find the best spots. We dig into the details, including the tides, which peaked at 7:39 AM at 2.07m before running down to a low of 0.68m at 1:38 PM, with the key bite period from 9:25 to 10:55 AM. It was a tough day on the water, with many anglers struggling to get bites in clear and challenging conditions, but persistence paid off.

We kick off the interviews with Ryan Ottens, who landed 1.88 kg for third place. He shares how pre-fishing helped shape his strategy, focusing on consistent areas with mid-thirties fish. Despite a tough day of fishing with long stretches of no bites, Ryan's persistence and tactical decisions to switch spots eventually paid off, securing him a solid podium finish.

Next, we chat with Ben Harrison, who bagged three fish for 2.33 kg, claiming second place. Ben reveals the importance of versatility in his approach, as he switched between surface lures and grubs to find success. He shares a unique moment when he offered a fellow competitor a game-changing tip, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the competition. With multiple upgrades throughout the day, Ben's steady approach and keen understanding of Onkaparinga's shifting conditions kept him in the race.

Finally, we hear from the Angler of the Year, Josh Bland, who clinched the win with an impressive 2.67 kg bag. Josh, who is no stranger to the Onkaparinga River, explains how local knowledge and pre-fishing helped him dial in on the best spots. He shares how slow-rolling plastics along rock walls and deeper channels yielded the best results, with a standout 1.07 kg fish anchoring his win. Josh's persistence, detailed planning, and ability to adapt on the fly were key to his victory.

We also take a moment to discuss The Bream Fishing Project Collective, a growing community where anglers come together to improve their skills, share tips, and access exclusive content, including live streams and in-depth discussions on bream tactics.
