Episode 133: Mike Tyrrell - Survival First Aid & Faith Coleman - Update on Algal Bloom

Send us Fan MailEpisode 133: Mike Tyrrell - Survival First Aid & Faith Coleman - Update on Algal BloomThis week we are joined by 2 great guests to chat about a couple of really important aspects of fishing!Mike Tyrell from Survival First Aid joins us to chat about their innovative first aid kits and tells us all about the journey the family business has been on and how important having the right gear can be to potentially save a life. Their system is a bit different to a standard one size fits all system, with different equipment in specialised kits for all different activities - including fishing boat and 4WDing.As a part of our news segment, we chat with ecologist Faith Coleman for a comprehensive update on the algal blooms causing fish kills across the state. Starting off around Waitpinga Beach on the Fleurieu Peninsula and now including cockle deaths at Goolwa and further fish kills on Kangaroo Island, southern Yorke Peninsula and even as far as the Eyre Peninsula. We find out the science and different factors that lead to this occurring, debunk some of the myths and try to hypothesise what could happen next! We also touch on other news including backlash from an altercation at West Lakes that has backfired for a couple of angry residents who confronted some young anglers and what the fishing community is doing to support the kids!Plus, all the fishing reports including winter whiting, the back end of the local tuna season, crabs remain strong on Yorke Peninsula and the start of the mullet run at Marion Bay. The Fishing Guru is also able to clear up our confusion over the plural of Platypus’s via a voice memo, while our tackle item of the week is the 3 year servicing plan that comes with the new 2025 Shimano Stella!
