Episode 101: Josh Bland, RecFish SA Project Officer

This week we are joined by Josh who has recently joined  RecFish SA in their newly created role of Project Officer. This job combines Josh’s research background with his love of fishing and will work closely with Executive Officer Asher, working on citizen science projects and everything else linking rec fishing and science. We find out about Josh’s background and some of his fishing highlights and also touch on some of his early work with RecFish including citizen tuna tagging, an early review of whether yellowfin whiting numbers are down and also discuss why the tuna season has been slow so far this summer. 

Plus, we have all the latest fishing news in SA:

• The west beach ramp is currently limited by a sailing event.
• Carp Frenzy at Lake Bonney coming up soon.
• When will the Cape Jervis boat ramp be back to full capacity

We also preview our trip to Kangaroo Island next week and feature the Hook Em tag pole that we are using for tagging tuna and kingfish this summer. Plus a fishing report so you can find out where all our summer fish are biting!
