In this episode, Bro speaks with big game fisherman, Mark Watson, from Tasmania. With decades of experience fishing for tuna, kingfish and broadbill in Tasmania, Mark also has a reputation as a man who can land and tag that big game fish, no matter what the conditions. He’s had multiple tag-and-release trophies, but his collection of tales (and tails) and memories are the most valuable from his fishing life. He even gives us some advice about marriage!

This is part 2 of Bro’s conversation with Tim Dean from Calypso about that pinnacle fish - the marlin. Captain Tim Dean has been fishing the entire East Coast of Australia all of his life. Starting out at the age of 5 years old with his father John fishing from small boats on the South Coast of Australia for the big yellowfin which used to frequent these waters Tim saw his future.
After completing an apprenticeship as an electrical mechanic in Sydney Tim undertook the Captain's Course. Utilising all the sea time he had logged on recreational and commercial fishing vessels Tim passed with flying colours and in the Summer of 1992 he set up the now infamous "Calypso Fishing Adventures" in Port Stephens New South Wales Australia
Working and fishing hard numerous Tournament Victories and Fishing accolades flowed the "Calypso's" way.
"I learnt at a very young age with my father that if you wanted to catch fish not only did you have to fish hard but preparation of tackle, bait (fresh is best), crew and of course boat was the key to a successful day. The old adage "if you had a line in the water you have a chance" saw us the first boat out and always the last to return each evening - and more often than not with a great catch of fish".
A major part of the "Calypso's Season" is dedicated to Big Game Fly Fishing at Port Stephens.
Captain Tim would like to invite you to come and fish with the busiest and best marlin fishing operation Australia has to offer.

This episode features Sean Savage from Streaker Marine, where Cuzzy Bro’s first bought a boat that was ocean-worthy. Sean is the second generation of a family owned and run business. His uncle and father, Leon and Paul Savage ,have been involved in boating all of their lives. As teenagers they were both accomplished water skiers and had also been attracted to the world of fishing. Leon, being an apprentice Boatbuilder and Shipwright, was already designing and building boats in his spare time.
In 1973 the two brothers decided to make a full time commitment to their new company, L & P Savage Brothers Marine Pty Ltd, which was to build a range of boats called 'Streaker Boats'. The rest is history - Streaker Boats over the intervening years has become one of the most popular brands of fibreglass boats ever built in this country. You only have to look at the second-hand market and see the re-sale value of Streakers to see how popular they are.
This is for many reasons - they are super practical, wide, deep, soft riding, stable, extremely strong, beautiful to look at, with an excellent finish - reasons that will give you confidence and satisfaction that Streaker is the right choice!
Leon and Paul, and their entire staff, love boating. Not only is it their business, it is their total interest. They are totally, 24 hours a day, involved in boating. They love it and this is another reason why their boats are so good!

In this episode, Daniel speaks with his father, the creator of the cod lure - Predator Lures. David Brauman first started playing around with wooden lures around 1985 & at that stage only a handful of people were making wooden lures within Australia The lures were predominantly developed for the Native fish species of Murray Cod & Yellow Belly, in & around the lower Ovens River, including Lake Mulwala area.
His original lures were all made from Western Red cedar with the shape formed using a wood rasp & then sanded by hand to a smooth finish. For Dave it turned into a passion & many hours were spent trying to achieve the shape & more important the wide action & swim depth for a successful lure. It was also time to put a name to the lures – Predator Lures would be the chosen name forward.
The current shaped Predator Lures had evolved & before too long he had built a copy lathe which made almost identical lures & production easier. The 90mm wooden lures were manufactured for about 7 years & the 75mm wooden lures for around 4 years, until around 1990. Some of these wooden lures are now sort after by collectors & are sometimes traded on Ebay & various Facebook organisations.
The manufacture of Predator lures then had a significant change & went to plastic injection with a smaller sized 75mm lure being added to the range. The change to plastic injection created some new challenges & it did take some time to get a plastic lure to swim with almost the same characteristics as a wooden lure. The swim depth remained very similar at around 2.5 – 4mtrs depending line size, type & if trolling the distance from the back of the boat.
Today Predator lures have a great following among many anglers & is not uncommon to hear of not only other species of fresh water fish but some salt water species being caught also Predator Lures are proudly Australian manufactured & assembled (including packaging). Only components not available in Australia are purchased offshore.

In this episode, Bro speaks to Trapman from Bermagui. The commercial fishing industry is one of the most complicated and often misunderstood industries. The idea behind Trapman Bermagui is to try and dispel some of the myths and misconceptions that exist and to give people more understanding of what is involved in the everyday life of a commercial fisherman. I would also like to bridge the gap between commercial and amateur fishermen, by sharing some of my knowledge and experience to help create a more sustainable and enjoyable ocean for everyone.
My dad has been a commercial fisherman since the 1950s, line fishing kingys and snapper and trapping out of Sydney. I started life sleeping in a fishbox on dad’s boat, which I much preferred to daycare.
I spent all my school holidays working on boats with other professional fishermen, learning about fishing and diving. At 15 I became the youngest commercial fisherman in Sydney. When I started, I was line fishing, trapping lobsters and mullet netting during the autumn season. I bought my first tinny with money I made selling fish to my school teachers.
At 18 I upgraded from the tinny to a 6m boat called Princess (named after my dog). A 32ft swift craft boat (Zoe) that I bought next turned out to be a lemon, so I traded that one for a 7m predator boat which was dark blue and creatively called Blue Boat. I had Blue Boat for 16 years.
I mostly fished Kingfish as well as trapping for lobster and fish, and sharks. I would travel up and down the coast a week at a time to break up the boredom, fishing out of Port Stephens, Culburra, Seal Rocks, South West Rocks and Bermagui. In 2000 new fishing regulations were introduced. Lobster quotas were applied along with shark trip limits and mullet netting was banned in Botany Bay. These new regulations meant a big drop in income so I bought a line east and chased Yellowfin and Albacore to try to make up for it.
By this stage I had become one of the top commercial fishermen in Sydney. In 2007 I bought the Marilyn M Sailfish (named after my mum). Shortly after, I met my wife and we decided to leave Sydney for a quieter life. Opting for a seachange, we moved to Bermagui in 2012. Since moving to Bermagui I have mostly focused on fish and lobster trapping, along with a little King fish and tuna fishing. I recently sold Marilyn M and upgraded to the Narissa J which is now moored at Bermagui Fishermen’s Wharf.
Moving my fishing business to Bermagui has been a huge learning curve. There have been many challenges, like learning new fishing grounds and the biggest one, the inconsistency with king fishing. It is very seasonal which is hard to get used to. Snapper is also inconsistent, although the shark fishing here on the South Coast has been good. Overall, fishing in Bermagui I find you catch more quantity but the quality is not always there.
Commercial fishing is a really tough industry. The biggest issues I find as a fisherman are things like inconsistent fish means inconsistent pay, fishing is completely weather dependent and seasonal, the seals here are crazy. It is tough physical work which means my hands burn and hurt and my body is always aching, plus there is constant anxiety /stress, the regulations and licensing systems are always challenging us, my clothes stink and so do I.
But of course, there are some good things about the job too. I get to be out on the ocean, part of nature. I see things that most people never will, such as the majesty of great white sharks swimming beneath the boat, whales breaching at sunrise and the company of dolphin pods as I work. I get to do what I love for a living and live in a great part of the world. It’s also really rewarding to see people eating and enjoying my catch. It feels good when my plans work out and I get a good catch. There is also great camaraderie here amongst the community. The commercial fishermen work together and help each other out. There is also a lot of support from local businesses and the people in this small town.

Al McGlashan is passionate about all things fishing and built his business purely on his love of the outdoors. As Al puts it, ‘If you love what you do you will never have to work a day in your life!’
A father of two, Al spends about 180 days a year on the water, most of which is done on his own trailer boat like 5 million other Aussie anglers. Despite no formal training in photojournalism (in fact his English teacher still doesn’t believe he writes for a living!), Al has built his media company revolving around his passion. After humble beginnings McGlashan Media is now the largest fishing content provider in the country. Al contributes to dozens of magazines and newspapers such as Modern Fishing, Bluewater Mag as well as the largest fishing column in the country’s biggest paper Sydney’s Daily Telegraph! His articles get translated into several languages and his images regularly grace the covers of international publications like Marlin Magazine (USA), New Zealand Fishing World, Voyager De Peche (France) and the IGFA Journal.
Al’s photography truly encapsulates his passion for fish, especially his underwater shots which have brought fishing photography to a new level. Al has authored several books including The Complete Fishing Bible, a 450 page best seller, which is now in its fourth edition.
Al’s love of fishing ultimately led him into TV. First, he produced the groundbreaking Strikezone DVD series, which led to the infamous StrikezoneTV. He has also had guest appearances in all major fishing shows, as well as producing documentaries like Gamefishing Australia and Destination Fishing – Samoa. From there it was straight into three seasons of Big Fish Small Boats for Network Ten and now he is producing Fish’n with Mates for Channel Nine which is the number one rating fishing show in Australia as well as airing in NZ and the USA.
Al’s fishing exploits are famous and he has received worldwide coverage from filming white sharks in NSW, catching a monster bull shark in Sydney Harbour and swimming with the biggest fish in the sea. He landed one of the biggest tuna ever caught after an epic 7 hour battle that was a leading story for the nightly news. However, his crowning achievement was to be the first to ever film a massive Mako attacking a marlin underwater right in the danger zone. Then there was the giant squid, which cracked 7 million views on YouTube in three days.
It has been a long hard slog to build up a reputation in the fishing and boating industry, but Al would have it no other way, especially when he gets to do what he loves most – fish and then tell everyone about it!

Bros speaks with Mick from Hook’em Fishing in this episode. With a background in engineering, Hook'em began because of a demand for strong, durable and long lasting fishing products that were not being met in the market place at the time. As Mick loved to fish, and had extensive knowledge in the fields required he decided to look further into how he could achieve this. He decided to develop and manufacture a range of gaffs that would not only be of the highest quality standards, but also be of an affordable price. A small project, which had started out to build on his own Tackle collection, soon developed into a large product line of Fishing Equipment that Mick is constantly building on and developing.
