ZAC catches up with Fishing World editor Scott Thomas to chat about a special trip planned for 2026… Solomons On The Sauce.
Hosted by Zac Panaratos, Chef Mark LaBrooy, and Scott Thomas, Solomons On The Sauce is a week-long fishing trip to Papatura in the Solomon Islands. It’s much more than a fishing trip! The trip will also combine workshops in fish handling, post catch fish care, fish preparation and much more!
It’s a fishing trip, a learning experience, and a guaranteed good time!

Zac Panaretos catches up with chefs and fishos to chat about catching, cooking, and sustainable seafood.
In this episode we sit down with Dr. Leo Guida from the Australian Marine Conservation Society for a long, open conversation about sharks, how they intersect with fishing and people using our waterways, and the real risks involved.
We talk through the data and trends, and importantly how effective current management strategies actually are when humans and sharks share the same spaces.
It is not a debate, more a pub-style back and forth, asking honest questions and digging into a topic I am genuinely on the fence about and keen to understand better.
