We break down our wild fishing trip to Kununurra in the east Kimberly with Birchy from Birchy's Fishing Tours and nothing is left out. The whole thing felt like a test of grit, patience and angling ability (or lack there of…)

Previous guest Goatman is joining us for a bit of company on this one!

This episode covers the full ride, start to finish.

• Brutal river crossings that pushed the limits.

• Snakes and baby crocs turning up where we did not want them

• Wood duck moments from the 2 biggest wood ducks in W.A (Lecca & Rothy)

• Lecca landing a 111 centimetre barra on a handline.

• Sprinting from a storm that came out of nowhere

• Rothy scraping in his first barra in the final minutes of the trip

This was the hardest fishing we have ever done. It was also the most rewarding.

In this episode we’re joined by our mate Sam (Birchy) Birch aka The Barra King who is the man behind Birchy’s Fishing Tours.

Birchy might be known for catching monster barra, but the story behind the man goes much deeper. Sam (Birchy) Birch is a Balanggarra, Kija & Jaru man born & bred in Wyndham.

In this episode Birchy opens about his upbringing, his culture and the challenges he faced as a young bloke. He shares how he turned a life shaped by violence, trauma and anger into one driven by purpose, vulnerability and faith. He talks about how fishing, country and culture became his escape and his identity. This one is powerful, honest and full of heart.

• Tagalong tours explained and what guests can expect on a day out with Birchy
• His journey from violence and anger to vulnerability, growth and purpose
• How he reads a river, the signs he looks for and how he hunts big barra
• Tides, bait selection, lure choice and when to change tactics
• Lure colours, retrieves and what actually works in dirty water
• The wild story of a croc launching up a bank during a night bait run
• A venomous snake incident involving his daughter and how he handled it
• Barra behaviour broken down including feeding patterns, ambush tactics and water temperature
• A preview of the Lecca & Rothy’s upcoming Kununurra trip
• Listener questions
• Plenty of stories, laughs and hard earned barra knowledge from someone who lives and breathes the country he fishes
