EP 42 Another Week of Rain Ft. Barra Nationals & WRF

Hey legends, welcome back to another episode of the 2 Pelicans Podcast! This week’s yarn is packed, so grab a cuppa or crack a cold one and settle in.

☔ First up – the rain.
It’s been coming down and it’s got us talking about how it’s affecting the fish, the launch ramps, and everyone’s Easter holiday plans. Hope you all managed to get out there between the showers and wet a line!

🐣 Easter Recap & Upcoming Tournaments
We share a few tales from the long weekend and look ahead at what’s coming up on the comp calendar. Plenty of exciting stuff on the horizon—time to check those reels, restock the tackle, and make sure the eskys still work!

🎧 Shoutout to Some Top Podcasts
We also dove into a couple of other great fishing pods during the week—one standout was the chat with BMP & Carl Jocumsen. Hearing Carl’s journey to becoming a professional angler was seriously inspiring and a reminder of what passion and grit can get you in this game.

🚤 Boat Crashes in the States – Let’s Talk Safety
Two serious boat crashes in the U.S. caught our attention this week. We have a bit of a yarn about whether horsepower limits should be re-evaluated for comp and rec fishing alike. It's a tough topic, but one worth thinking about.

📸 Kids’ Photo Comp Update
The entries keep rolling in and we’re loving what we’re seeing! From cheeky grins with their first fish to action shots on the river—keep ‘em coming. We’re stoked to see the next gen getting out there and having a crack.

🎣 Catch-Up with the Women in Rec Fishing League
We had a great chat with the crew from the Women in Recreational Fishing League. They gave us a rundown on how they’re prepping tackle ahead of the Barra Nationals—from lure selection to line checks. These ladies are dialled in and ready to go!

Thanks for tuning in again, and if you’re enjoying the pod, don’t forget to give us a follow, drop a rating, and share it with your fishing mates. Tight lines till next time!
