Join the full co-hosting team—Grant Boyden, Alan Blake from Blake’s Marine, and fishing pioneer Kieran Reekie—for the February 21st edition of The High Tide Podcast. We kick off the show with blue-ribbon Sydney conditions and a deep dive into the late summer fishing groove.

Inside this episode:

Live from the Gippsland Lakes: Co-host Alan Blake checks in from the deck of Gollara at Metung. He delivers a vital Tech Topic on Anchoring, explaining the "3-to-1" scope rule and why your anchor is your boat's ultimate piece of safety equipment.

The Investigation Files: The team sits down with Angus Mitchell, Chief Commissioner of the ATSB. Angus provides an exclusive look at transport safety investigations, the qualifications required for the job, and an update on the ongoing search for MH370.

Port Stephens Local Intel: Matt from Duff’s Salamander Bait and Tackle joins Grant, Alan, and Kieran to discuss 10kg Jewfish, the $50,000 Blue Marlin shootout, and the rising costs of custom rod building.

Parliamentary Firebrand: Mark Banasiak MLC joins the co-hosts for a heated discussion on the "willful neglect" of the NSW Abalone fishery and the legislative battles facing the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party in 2026.

Kieran’s Coast-to-Coast Report: Kieran Reekie provides a comprehensive fishing breakdown, covering everything from Mud Crabs on the Sunshine Coast to the red-hot Murray Cod bite in the Murrumbidgee.
