Tall Tails Fishing Podcast

Jimmy Toneycliffe (@cptnhook__) is a Kiwi who landed in WA in 2010 knowing nothing about catching fish on the west coast.

After deciding that Spanish Mackerel was the fish he wanted to target, Jimmy bought a 6m Aluminium Genesis Craft and started searching. It took him 4 years to get his first Mackie. Now, he's getting them consistently every time he heads out fishing. This ones full of info that will get you closer to landing the elusive Metro Spanish Mackerel!

In this episode we talk to Jimmy about:

• Growing up fishing for Chinook salmon in NZ
• Moving to Perth and trying to catch a Spanish Mackerel
• Buying his first boat because it was blue
• The trolling rules that finally made the rods bend
•  Planers - the Florida technique that tripled his catch rate
• Succesfully trolling even when theres floating seaweed
• Sea Witches, Islander lures and the Witch Doctor
• Why he catches more Mackies in winter
• A 24.5kg metro Wahoo, a 25kg Kingfish and a Marlin at the FADS

If the weed has ever sent you home from the three mile, listen to the planer section twice.

Special thanks goes out to the crew at Jazz Charters for supporting this weeks listener questions. Jazz are the number 1 Fishing & boat party charter operator in Perth

Gideon "Gido" Mettam is the most requested guest we've ever had. Every week the DMs roll in asking us to get him on, and we've finally intercepted him on his way up north!
Gido is a chippy turned rock climbing fisherman, who fishes the rock ledges of Western Australia's rugged south coast. Using his rock climbing skills, Gido abseils into spots most blokes wouldn't look at twice. He's bolted a platform onto a cliff face to fish it properly, and he pulls Dhufish, Blue Groper and Kingfish out of water you can only reach on a rope.

Gido's Fishing Adventures now gets watched all over the world with 462,000 subscribers following along ammassing 113 million views on Gido's YouTube channel.

A huge shoutout to WA Fishing tackle brand Oceans Legacy for supporting this episodes Listener Question segment.

If you fish land based anywhere in the world, this one's a belter.

Tony Thwin is a well known face around the Perth fishing community. He has caught Marlin, Mulloway and everything between, but even after catching plenty of trophy fish, squid is still his true obsession.

In this episode the former WA tackle rep gives us a squid masterclass and breaks down jig sizing, sink rates, casting distance and a full colour system for every time of day. He shares his eight jig starter kit, the spots most people drive straight past, and a kids squidding hack that just works.
