Episode 150: Paul Wilton, President of the Game Fishing Club of South Australia

This week we celebrate our big 150th episode with a great guest, Paul Wilton, the President of the Game Fishing Club of South Australia! Paul gives us an insight into how the club has changed and grown over recent years, some of the competitions they run including the Wirrina Tuna Slam in February and also talks about the social side to the Game Fishing Club. He has also caught plenty of fish himself and is even nice enough to invite us and any prospective new members to join them at the club for one of their monthly social nights.

To celebrate our 150th episode we reminisce on some of our favourite episodes over the past few years and also look forward to the next big milestones to come!

We have plenty of news in SA fishing including:

• RecFish SA holding a Carp fishing competition at Mawson Lakes this weekend!
• The ‘Let’s Go Fishing Competition’ is still running with the $10k prize still up for grabs, the next round starts soon with another lot of tagged fish to target.
• Cape Calamari and other Pro Boats are doing ‘Research days’ with SARDI to monitor the Algae. 
• We wrap up the 20th Onka Stompa which raised a lot of money for mental health!

Our tackle item of the week is the new Shimano Squidgies ‘Glimma’ soft plastic, a 90mm baitfish profile with a cool Shimmering tail that is sure to catch plenty of fish! Our fishing report includes Clifty finding some metro whiting, big Crabs being entered in the Ardrossan Pub Competition to win beers and and esky and Kingfish still firing in the upper Spencer Gulf!
