AHEAD of the 2026 Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash in Coffs Harbour, Zac sat down with event founders Sondal Bensan and Michael Bonnici at the Pier Hotel to uncover the story behind one of Australia’s fastest-growing snapper competitions.
We dive into the ethos of the event, what anglers can expect on the water, and share valuable insights on conditions, tactics, techniques, and safety before lines hit the water.
Zac Panaretos catches up with chefs and fishos to chat about catching, cooking, and sustainable seafood.
Soli Bailey is a professional surfer who jumps on the podcast to discus his wholistic love of the ocean through fishing.
We know a lot about Soli’s thought processes and experiences as a surfer as they have been comprehensively covered. So it was interesting to hear about how fishing has served as one of his dedicated passions and shaped him as a person.
