The episode begins with Patrick Dangerfield and Aaron Habgood introducing the show and sponsors. Dangerfield talks about an upcoming family trip to Yarrawonga for fishing, targeting cod and perch. He then shifts to a review of his Western Australia trip for an AFL state of origin game, detailing a tourism deal that included activities like snorkeling with seals at Carnac Island and cray diving. The hosts compare Fremantle's marina to Melbourne's Docklands, praising its clear ocean water. They discuss unusual marlin behavior in NSW harbours, with striped marlin seen near jetties. The conversation moves to boating technology, highlighting the Miami Boat Show and Mercury's 800hp outboard engines. A whip-around segment covers fishing reports from NSW, Queensland, NT, WA, SA, Tasmania, and Victoria, noting species like jewfish, marlin, and swordfish. Guest Zach Cross joins to talk about his charter operations, focusing on bluefin tuna tactics and flathead fishing in Port Phillip Bay. Red's tip segment includes using ant nests to clean shark jaws and experimenting with ceviche recipes for kingfish. The episode ends with a flying gaff story about a jet ski instructor ramming a teenager on the Narang River.

As heard by us

The episode finds its best line in the space between regional fishing intelligence and the small acts that can turn a boat ramp into a pressure point.
