Episode 162: Tyson Kain, Want To Fish Charters

This week we are joined by Tyson Kain for his third appearance on the podcast. Tyson is the skipper of Want To Fish Charters and works out of Port MacDonnell in the winter and Wirrina in the summer. Tys has had a ripper start to the season of giant Southern Bluefin Tuna, having caught 18 ‘Barrel’ sized tuna so far this season. He tells us about the recent Port MacDonnell Offshore Angling Comp, including his epic first day catching 7 Barrels. He also recalls an epic recent catch of a 100+ kilogram Mako Shark and also gives us a wrap up of what was a relatively slower season of fishing off Wirrina over the warmer months. Tyson is always very generous with his time and knowledge so is well worth a listen.

As always, we also have all the latest news in South Australian Fishing, including:

• RecFish SA has artificial reef modules ready to go in the water off Wirrina and Nepean Bay on KI in the coming weeks
• The professional closure in Gulf of St Vincent extended for another 12 months.
• Sportfishing Scene has been sold by Clifty with current manager Darrren buying the business. 
• North Haven tackle shop ‘The Ramp’ is closing as a result of the downturn in business from the Algal Bloom.
• Thousands of dead Pilchards wash up in Marion Bay.

We talk about a heavy duty anchor swivel Dizzy picked up from Christies Beach Marine recently. We also have all the latest fishing reports including winter whiting, heaps of Salmon, barrels in the South East and 2 Mahi Mahi or Dolphin Fish caught off Port Augusta.
