Episode 164: Trigger, Australian Salmon Fishing Championship - Elliston

This week we are joined by Ashley Traeger, or Trigger as he is widely known, to discuss the Australian Salmon Fishing Championship which is held annually over winter in Elliston and has just got under way. Trigger has fished in and been involved in the competition over a number of years and shares all of the information about entering the comp and also runs through the epic prizes that are on offer for the biggest Salmon and also for weekly mystery weight prizes. He also fills us in on everything else that is biting in Elliston and some of his own fishing pursuits. 

As always, we have all of the latest fishing news from right across SA including:

  • Round 5 of the Lets Go Fishing Competition is open and first prize has already been snapped up, with 2nd and 3rd still up for grabs!
  • Local council is looking to charge visitors to dive with the iconic Giant Cuttlefish at Whyalla.
  • Dizzy tries to explain a potential fix for the Algal Bloom, if anyone can explain the ‘Gyroid sponge system’ we are all ears!

Our tackle item of the week is the Shimano Large Tackle Bag, packed with features and made of durable components that keep it going strong for years! We have one of these ready to give away in the next couple of weeks so keep your eyes peeled for out next competition!

We also have a full fishing report from across SA, Rohdey had a very quiet long weekend fishing, while the Winter Whiting are biting off North Haven and metro beaches, Salmon are running across the state and barrels have been hard to target due to the weather but still seem to be around!
