Inside This Week's Episode

Northern Territory & Queensland: The "Barra" Breakout

We catch up with Paul Burt from Step Outside, who shares incredible stories from the North. With massive floodwaters hitting the Daly River and surrounding regions, the "Barra Farms" are currently underwater. This means thousands of Barramundi that have been growing relentlessly for two years have now escaped into the river systems, setting the stage for a "next level" Barra Nationals competition. Paul also details a miraculous rescue involving an R22 helicopter landing on a Toyota Prado to save a stranded driver.

Technical Tip: Don't Let Dirty Fuel Ruin Your Weekend

With recent fuel shortages and lower-grade fuels hitting the market, host Alan Blake provides a vital Tech Tip on fuel filters. Learn why a water-separating fuel filter with a glass bowl is the "cheap insurance" every boatie needs to avoid expensive engine damage and mid-water breakdowns.

Freshwater Tactics: Clear Water, Natural Colors

Steve Bowler joins us from Tenterfield to discuss the challenging conditions in the southern dams. With water levels low and clarity at an all-time high, Steve explains why you need to ditch the "loud" chartreuse and pink lures in favor of natural browns, silvers, and frog patterns to fool wary Bass and Cod.
