In this episode I’m joined by young fishing legend, Jack Weymouth-Smith! He is based out in Western Riverina and spends most of his time fishing his home waters of the Murrumbidgee River. In this chat we talk all about this river system, the fishing styles, techniques, flows and plenty of stories of big fish.
Jack is a great fella who just loves his cod fishing! He has learnt a lot over the past 7 years fishing this river system and has caught plenty of cracking river cod. Towards the end of the episode, we talk about a bunch of topics that have plenty of great info for fishing any river system.
And last of all, you don’t want to miss the end of the episode where Jack shares his most memorable catch and his number one tip (trust me you don’t want to miss this one)!

In this episode I’m joined by keen cod angler and SF Member, Tyson Zarew. Born and bred in Canberra, Tyson has fished throughout his whole life, but it’s only been recently that he has started getting really serious on chasing big cod in the impoundments.
Over the past three years Tyson has learnt an incredible amount about chasing big cod and has grown as an angler and in this episode, he shares these lessons.
We talk about his childhood, before jumping in and discussing the journey of chasing big winter cod, the lessons, stories and some of Tyson’s most memorable experiences. We also touch on urban lake cod and the best way to approach these situations, using live technology and also one of his recent experiences fishing gorge country with the Goodoogang Lue Tag Boddy Dazzler and the story of Tyson’s epic metre cod on surface.
This is another great episode and I hope you enjoy!

It’s crazy the people you run into in life and how a conversation for the first time can be so powerful! In this episode I sit down with Shane Domaille, the man behind the Goodoogang brand. If you have an Instagram account, you will have probably seen the @goodoogang page.
I’ve always wanted to hear from the man behind the brand and hear the story about how it all started. In this chat we talk about how fishing started for Shane, how he grew up fishing with his dad and how he got got into freshwater fishing in recent years.
From there we roll into the Goodoogang story and towards the end of the podcast we talk about some small water creek fishing and some tips if you’re looking to do the same.
Through the middle of the chat Shane opens on a tough period in his life in the past 12 months and how he dealt with the situation. This wasn’t planned and it was good to hear him share his story. This is an incredible chat and I hope you enjoy. If you’re listening, make sure you tag myself and @goodoogand in your social media stories!

Steve Starling (more commonly known as Starlo) is one of the most recognised faces in the Australian fishing industry and I feel privileged to welcome him back onto the podcast for another episode. If you haven’t already, go listen to Ep 8 of the podcast to hear our first catchup over 2.5 years ago. A lot has changed since then, and these changes have impacted the way Starlo fishes today.
In this episode we start off with a catchup on what’s been happening in Starlos life and what styles of fishing he has been enjoying of late, before falling into a discussion on fish feeding behaviour, which is quite interesting. The main topic of conversation for this episode is all around how the fishing industry has changed in the 50 plus years that Starlo has been fishing. He shares plenty of stories from the 1970s, 80s and 90s all the way into the 2000’s. We talk about the changes in gear and tackle, to lures and electronics, as well as the how the availability of information has drastically changed.
I want to thank Starlo once again for the chat, and I hope you learn plenty from this episode just like I did. Enjoy!

Welcome to 2022 and to another episode of The Social Fishing Podcast. In this one I’m joined by a good mate, Dan Webber. If you follow us on socials and you’re an SF Member you’ll know Dan very well by now but it’s good to finally have him on for an episode of the podcast talking to him about his story.
The main topic of conversation for this episode is Burrinjuck Dam, which is by far Dan’s favouirte place to fish. We discuss experiences, techniques and how Burrinjuck can fish both tough and incredibly well. Mid way through this episode (41:00), Dan shared a story about his personal life which was really powerful. He went through a tough time and he shares this experience, and how he overcome it.
This is another great episode from a down to earth bloke, who loves his fishing and helping others. Enjoy this episode!

Many of you will already know who Jack Hocking is from our videos, Live Q&As and reports inside the SF Membership, but for those of you who don’t, all you need to know is that Jack can catch fish!
Jack Hocking owns and runs Lake Mulwala Sportfishing, based on the cod capital in Yarrawonga. He has been guiding for a little over a year and has been fishing since he could walk. Jack is an incredibly accomplished angler and has caught countless numbers of giant cod from Mulwala.
I’ve been lucky enough to spend plenty of time on the water fishing with Jack and have learnt that he has a unique and special gift for fishing. He thinks in a way that many others don’t, and he has a knack and a dedication to working out how these fish think. He is always looking for the next fish.

Curtis is one of the most down to earth, genuine blokes you’ll come across in the fishing world, and I was stocked to have him on for this episode. He has an incredible passion for fishing and loves every moment of being out there in the hunt for his next target.

Josh Read lives and breaths fishing and will head out at any chance he gets. In this episode Josh talks about fishing small clear systems for Murray Cod from his punt, and tips on how he does it. He also talks about what happened to the Upper Murray after the devastating bushfires, and what impact this event had on the Murray Cod population. Josh worked with local fisheries and through his local fishing club to clean up after the event, and now in works to restock and study the system for the future of the fishery.
Josh and his girlfriend were also lucky enough to come across not one, but two Golden tagged fish in Victoria and he share this experience. Then towards the end of the episode we talk about live technology and we both share our experiences on this topic.

I first interviewed Jakko Davis 16months ago (prior to COVID… crazy) and this is a cracker chat where we talk about what we have learnt over the past year. Live Technology takes up a big chunk of this chat as Jakko shares how he uses this tech and what he has learnt. Being bale to watch the fish under the surface for the last 12 months has opened our eyes to how cod actually behave.
The topics and things we cover in this episode are crazy! Towards the end of the episode we talk about life, goals, people who inspire us and also the covid world we currently have on our hands.
This is a casual chat but loaded with so much content. It’s a big episode so get ready to learn a stack! Enjoy.
