In this episode, we’re joined by two young guns of the WA fishing scene — Curtis Waterman and Michael Parker
Curt is the Marketing Manager at WA's own household lure company, Halco Tackle, and gets to see & fish plenty of different ares as part of his Job. He recently took out Champion Angler at the 2025 Abrolhos Islands Game Fishing Tournament, writes for Western Angler & is a regular speaker at The Perth Boat Show & 4WD Adventure Show every year.
Mick grew up chasing Barra up in Broome with his old man’s charter biz, then moved to Perth where he swapped Barra for Bream in the Swan River. He’s now a Marlin addict, keen spear-fisherman and last year’s Champion Angler at the WA Open in Jurien Bay.
In this episode, we flap our gums about:
- Chasing metro Marlin in the Perth Trench and learning the ropes with Billfish
- Why switching up your style keeps fishing fun
- Life behind the scenes at Halco Tackle
- Fishing trips to Florida and the USA
- Mick’s Barra-soaked childhood and his shift to southern waters
- The origin story of Curt & Mick’s fishing bromance
- Next-Gen Fishing
- Curt getting outdone on a Mulloway by his cousin, & Lecca's former West Coast Eagles team mate, Jake Waterman
- Boat collisions while chasing Mulloway in the Swan
- Mick’s first run-in with a Swordfish and a half-sunk boat with the Send & Bend crew
Plenty of chaos, banter, and a few Tall Tails in the mix. Let’s get stuck in!
