Ep 05: Black Marlin Charter Fishing with Tim Dean
Q: What's the last really good fish you remember losing, and what did that teach you?
Tim and Benny recount a near‑miss with a huge fish, the sense of almost having it in the boat, and the lessons about preparation, timing, and crew coordination that keep them coming back for more.
Ep 05: Black Marlin Charter Fishing with Tim Dean
Q: How did the Cairns operation and the move from crewing to owning a boat unfold?
He details starting on the reef, crew roles, the leap to a private boat, and eventually partnering on a Blackwatch 40 before securing a lasting flagship, highlighting financial and logistical hurdles.
Ep 05: Black Marlin Charter Fishing with Tim Dean
Q: Where are you from originally, and how did you get into the Cairns/Port Stephens big‑game scene?
Tim explains growing up in Adelong and moving into the charter world, with Cairns becoming the Everest for big Marlin and Port Stephens a key stepping stone, outlining the early career path and the opportunities that shaped his trajectory.
Ep 07: The World Of Lure Making with Bonze
Q: Bonze, when developing a lure from scratch, how do you decide its core characteristics and testing process?
It starts with identifying the intended outcome (aggressive bite, staying deep, etc.), then prototyping and testing iteratively, adjusting weight and shape until the lure swims correctly and meets the desired behavior.
Ep 06: Surviving Crocodile Infested Waters with Jez
Q: What distance did you drive through floodwaters, Jez, and how long did it last?
We traversed roughly six kilometers of floodwater, with the worst stretch lasting under an hour, and we only realized the danger as reflectors disappeared and the water rose.
