Send us Fan MailEpisode 103: James Manna and Mitch HallydayThis week we have a bumper episode with 2 Massive guestsFirstly we chat with Mitch Hallyday as a part of our news segment. Mitch is fresh of winning the Wirrina Tuna Slam catching a 14.6kg fish on the Saturday, followed by another 14 kilo fish on the Sunday. Mitch gives us a run down on another excellent weekend put on by the Game Fishing Club of SA and even tells us where he managed to catch the winning fish. Mitch comes from an excellent fishing family, his wife Mel was one of the winners of the Coast 2 Coast competition in 2023 so we also try to find out who is the family's champion fisho!We are also joined by James Manna, skipper of ‘Going Grey’ a beautiful Stabicraft 2400, who is kindly taking us out as a part of his crew in the Port Lincoln Tuna Comp over the March long weekend. We fished with James last weekend, catching 4 tuna so it’s great to be going into the comp with some form under the belt. We talk with James about his past experience in the Port Lincoln comp, our prep for this years competition and what we can expect as a couple of first timers in the competition. Plus, we have all our regular segments, including an update on where the fish (Tuna in particular) are biting, talk about the Shimano 100lb wind on leader as our tackle item of the week and discuss the news in SA fishing!
