    Episode 163: Brad Towler, Fleurieu Charters

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 163: Brad Towler, Fleurieu Charters This week we have a huge guest who has made some SA Fishing history in the last few days, catching a barrel sized Southern Bluefin Tuna off the Fleurieu Peninsula. After first seeing some massive fish on the sounder and having his school Tuna gear spooled, he returned the next day with heavier tackle and sealed the deal! Brad gives us an insight into how hes been catching them over multiple trips out this week, plus talks us through a slower than normal School Tuna season but strong recent form on Whiting, Gummy sharks and reef species! This is a chat not to be missed and very timely with these fish only being caught for the first time this week! As always, we have all the latest fishing news, including: Artificial reef modules deployed off Wirrina and KI this week with temporary fishing closures in place for the next 12 months. The Australian Salmon Championship is about to kick off in Eliston.OzFish is now looking for assistance from the public with collecting seagrass fragments as a part of their ‘Seagrass for Blue Swimmers’ Project at West Lakes.Algae numbers on the rise in Port Lincoln. A huge illegal haul of 240 Blue Swimmer Crabs, many of which were undersized. We also have all of the latest fishing reports, including Winter Whiting, Barrel Tuna, Garfish sighted at Port Turton and Sunfish footage off Fowlers Bay. While Dizzy has a theory on using a ‘Throw Flasher’ for rod and reel fishing instead of its normal application in Spear Fishing!

It can carry and deploy a 1kg bait out into the ocean, can fly in 50kmph winds and can capture it all in 4k video and 12 MP photos! We chat about Adam’s own fishing and talk about how the Aeroo company began and how it has grown, now having over 10,000 customers across Australia. Adam reported that SA was its 3rd biggest market and we discussed some of the great spots your could use it across the state, including the Coorong for Mulloway, Port Lincoln for sharks, Snapper across the state and even maybe a Tuna off Victor Harbor when they come in close to shore!  We also discuss the big news in SA fishing this week, with the state government announcing changes to the bag limits of the 4 key species affected most by the Algal Bloom restrictions. Squidding is banned in both gulfs, the spatial closure on Whiting around the bottom of Yorkes is back for 3 months - but Spencer Gulf returns to full normal limits, garfish is closed in Gulf of St Vincents while crabbing limits are back to normal across the state.  Our tackle item of the week is the new Ledge Runner lure from Shimano. This revolutionary lure comes in 2 sizes: 160 and 200mm and has the ability to swim at different depths, depending how you set the ring at the front of the lure + comes with a Hydro Control wind to maintain a stable swimming action.  We also have all of the fishing reports across the state, including Barrel Tuna in the South East, while David Rocca and his mate Rob caught a squid off Edithburgh (before the bans come into place) to take out our Shimano squidding prize pack.
