In his first of his new "Tuesday Chat" episodes, Starlo shares a little bit about his early days, and explains how he got started on the fishing communication and education path. That long road begins with a half pound redfin perch from the Lachlan River and, in this first episode, leads all the way to Nova Scotia in eastern Canada and a date with destiny, in the form of of 1,020 pound (463 kilo) Atlantic bluefin tuna... It's quite a ride!

While I'm sure some folks will bristle at my suggestion that we rec' fishers all need to be committed conservationists and environmentalists (or "greenies", for want of a better word!), I hope you'll suspend your doubts long enough to have a listen to my arguments... This one's important!

We fish for so many different reasons. For many anglers, bringing home an occasional (or even regular) meal of self-caught seafood is a very important part of the whole process. But how does that sit alongside the growing catch-and-release ethos? How do we get the balance right, and also maintain the approval and support of a wider, non-fishing public and media? It can all be a bit tricky!

The subject of introduced, exotic or "feral" fish is a complex and nuanced one that's always sure to provoke heated debate in serious fishing circles. Why are carp "bad" and trout "good"... or do you not agree that they are those things? Whatever your stance, I'm sure you'll find this a fascinating episode!

In this presentation that I gave during an OzFish Unlimited "Fish Talk" night in winter, 2023, I put forward the intriguing proposition that we are actually living in the "good old days" right now and that — with a little bit of help from all of us — they can become even better days over time! Have a listen and see if you agree with me, and if you'd like to take a look at the images I mention, go to my "Starlo Gets Reel" channel on YouTube for the video version: https://www.youtube.com/@StarloGetsReel/

By th way, if you care deeply about fish and the habitat that sustains them, I strongly suggest you get involved with OzFish Unlimited... Join, volunteer to help on a habitat rehabilitation project, donate, or do all three! Find out how here: https://ozfish.org.au/
