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.
Join us as we sit down with New Zealand’s Nomadic Kayak Fisherman, Matt Wells, to compare the unique kayak fishing cultures of Australia and New Zealand.
