  • Good tips

    Good tips would be even better if I didn’t have to skip through the absolutely trash music they play through half the pod.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Big Fish: Switch Your Fish
Q: Why are they here, Julian?
Pepperell says researchers do not know why the Pacific bluefin tuna appeared off southeastern Australia. They may be feeding, but the cause could be an unusual event or potentially related to climate; more information is needed.
The Big Fish: Switch Your Fish
Q: What's it all about?
Paxevanos explains that Switch Your Fish encourages anglers to target fast-growing, mobile pelagic species rather than resident fish that are slower-growing and more vulnerable to fishing pressure and release-related harm.
The Big Fish: Gone Fishing Day
Q: What are your theories on black?
David Witham says black flies are effective in dirty water and around dusk because their silhouette is easier for fish to see, whether in fresh or salt water.
The Big Fish: Gone Fishing Day
Q: What are some of the innovations in 2026?
Lewis Pascoe highlights personal locator beacons and EPIRBs suited to different fishing settings, waterproof phone cases, and radios with location-sharing features. He emphasizes selecting the right equipment, testing it regularly and making sure it is accessible in an emergency.
The Big Fish: Baroon Pocket Dam Bass
Q: What was it like fishing Baroon Pocket Dam for the first time with the Bass Electric Tour?
Kendall describes the dam as small and quick to understand, with a fast pre-fish that helped set a clear plan for the competition; she emphasizes the learning curve and the value of pre-fish observations.
