Episode 112 - Faith Coleman

This week we are joined by Faith Coleman, an ecologist, who knows more about the Coorong than just about anyone! She is a wealth of knowledge about how the system works and is able to shed some light on the recent fish kills in the Coorong’s South Lagoon which has made news in recent months. We also chat about the Coorong’s health overall, the shrinking sand dunes and hear what she thinks needs to be done to better manage the ecosystem. 

We also have plenty of news to discuss, including:

  • PIRSA are developing an app that will potentially incorporate mandatory reporting and RecFish SA are looking for some representatives for its development. 
  • RecFish SA have formally requested to Tom Koutsantonis for a restructure including free boat launching for recreational anglers across the state. 
  • A couple of interesting shark encounters - A Tiger Shark coughed up a Echidna in Queensland and a dicey shark release by a KI fisho!

Our tackle item of the week is the Zodias range of rods from Shimano, which we used recently when targeting Whiting over the long weekend. Plus all the latest fishing reports including barrel size Tuna off Port Lincoln, Marion Bay and Port MacDonnell, offshore Samson Fish across the state and plenty of Murray Cod still around for the last month of the season!
