Send us Fan MailEpisode 118: Dom ThornelyThis week we are joined by Dom Thornely, the Content & Brand Marketing Manager at Shimano. A former professional cricketer who had a keen interest in fishing during his playing days, before moving into the marketing world, Dom is now kept very busy promoting all things Shimano Fishing. He tells us about what his job entails, wraps up the recent AFTA event and new products Shimano has launched as well as shares some of his own fishing stories, including dishing plenty of dirt on his good mate Brett Lee. We also have plenty of SA fishing news including:A wrap up of the key priorities identified at RecFish SA’s Forums across the state. Gone Fishing Day is coming up on October 13. New rules around how you can mark recreationally caught Crayfish. Some data around seals and Mulloway in the Coorong and why RecFish SA are pushing for an increased size limit to protect the species. Plus we announce winners to our Winter Photo Comp: Jack Schiller, Shane Lock, Luke Chamings and Mark Wenman. As always we have all the fishing reports from right across the state and feature the Shimano Sienna 1000 as our tackle item of the week, an affordable, lightweight reel that we have both been testing out with our young kids!
