On The Sauce

Zac Panaretos catches up with chefs and fishos to chat about catching, cooking, and sustainable seafood.

Ahead of the 2026 Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash, Zac sat down with event founders Sondal Bensan and Michael Bonnici at the Pier Hotel in Coffs Harbour 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.
