Episode 97: Ben Calvert
This week we are joined by a South Aussie Fisho who has taken his fishing talents onto the national stage, competing and having a huge amount of success in Barra Comps in Northern Queensland. Ben has really cracked the code on these iconic fish, he placed 9th overall in the Australian Bass Tournaments Barra Series and was the Runner Up in the Mackay Tournament Anglers Grand Final, fishing largely against locals who have done this for years. We chat about his journey and travels, what he has learnt while competing, talk about his boat fit out and also chat about the local fishing scene and what he is looking forward to over Summer in SA.
We also are pumped to officially launch our 100th episode celebration on Jan 21 which we hope a heap of our listeners can come along to!
As always there is plenty of fishing news in SA this week, including:
Plus, we have all the latest fishing report, including Team Hardcore with some notable catches off the beach, The Fishing Guru nailing the local jetties and our own success catching the bag of whiting in quick time on Yorkes last weekend. Rohdey is claiming he caught the most using the value for money Shimano Sienna reel which we feature as our tackle item of the week in this episode!
