Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.32 | Tony Thwin | How to Catch More Squid!
Q: Where did Tony's fishing start and how did that shape his approach to squid later on?
Tony grew up in Burma fishing drainage canals with hair-on-hooks and dragonflies, which fostered a hands-on, low-tech problem-solving mindset that later evolved into high-tech squid gear and expert knowledge of color, sink rate, and water conditions.
Ep.23 | Tommy Miller | Marlin, Southwest Kingfish & Tournament Success
Q: What advice does Tommy give to new competitors about getting started in game fishing?
Start by learning the basics, put hours in the water, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Build experiences with mentors, experiment with gear, and maintain flexibility in approach and expectations, especially regarding line, drag, and lure selection.
Ep.23 | Tommy Miller | Marlin, Southwest Kingfish & Tournament Success
Q: What's the biggest takeaway from competing in WA's blue marlin events?
The key takeaway is to balance aggressive strategy with practical, adaptive gear choices, like tweaking tackle for different fish and conditions, and to lean into the community and shared knowledge at events like Roddo and the Fremantle Sailing Club nights.
Ep.23 | Tommy Miller | Marlin, Southwest Kingfish & Tournament Success
Q: What's Tommy Miller's background and how did he get into fishing?
Tommy grew up around fishing with his father, who was deeply involved in game tournaments. He started young, faced restrictions, and developed a lifelong passion through family influence and learning on the water, eventually rising to notable success in WA's pelagic scene.
Ep.21 | Sam Birch - Birchy's Fishing Tours | The Barra King!
Q: Where can people find Birchy's Fishing Tours online?
Birchy's Fishing Tours can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and his website birchyhisfishingtours.com.au.
