About this listen

Welcome to The Rodcast!
The unfiltered, salt-crusted fishing podcast based out of The Wild West of Australia



Fishing runs deep in our blood—passed down through generations, shaping who we are and how we live. It’s more than just catching a feed; it’s about the adventure, the laughs, and the wild places it takes us. But above all, it’s about the storytellers—the salty sea dogs, the trailblazers, the madmen with experiences so wild they’re almost unbelievable.



Join Mark LeCras & Jake Rotham as they dive into raw, unfiltered conversations with WA’s most seasoned fishos, uncovering legendary Tall Tails from the wild west and beyond.



No filters. No fluff. Just fishing, good banter, and real stories from the people who’ve lived them.

Cheers for Tuning in to the Rodcast!
