Meet Ryan 👋 our in-store expert at Tackle World Bundaberg!

Ryno was born in Bundaberg and grew up fishing and camping under the guidance of his old boy. He moved to Tully at age 12, where the remote billabongs and endless creeks quickly became his playground. It’s no surprise his favourite fishing destination is chasing big saratoga in those same waters.

Over the years, Ryno became a local gun, landing a job at Tackle World Tully before being picked up as a sponsored angler for Shimano Fishing and Mako Eyewear. From barra and jack in the snags to chasing trout and Spanish on the reef flats or bass in Lake Gregory, he’s fished just about everywhere. His top three target species are saratoga, barra and mangrove jack, and he’s always got a ZMan Pop FrogZ, Jackall Squirrel 79SP or the trusty 120mm Squidgie Wriggler in his kit.

Now back in Bundy, we were stoked to welcome Ryan to the Tackle World Bundaberg crew. His fishing knowledge is outstanding for his age, and he’s keen to dive back into the local fishery. Next time you’re in-store, be sure to say g’day to Ryno!

Alicia has had a number of years experience in the administration field and her passion for ensuring businesses are run successfully and profitable is her strength. Alicia has also had many years working in customer service areas including training and education of staff to ensure customer service is the number one priority.

Alicia loves to get out on the water when she can with Blue Fin Tuna & Squid being her favourite species to catch. Little Charlie is Shane & Alicia’s son and he is soon becoming a little angler himself with Dad at the helm trying to teach him!

Shane has been a keen fisherman from a young age where every weekend was fishing the coastlines of South Australia. Shane started to venture into making custom built rods from a young age and has always built his own rods until recently where he started making them for other people.

The passion has continued and his extensive knowledge of saltwater fishing, understanding of all species of fish and experience of fishing on the west coast of South Australia brings Shane and Alicia’s passion of opening a fishing store in Port Lincoln.

Shane’s addictive passion for fishing and local area knowledge of the Eyre Peninsula is second to none and having fished for so many different species over the years gives him the knowledge to share with customers at Tackle World Port Lincoln.

Jake is an in-store expert at Tackle World Port Lincoln, with four years at the store and three prior at Tackle World Salisbury. He’s all about helping people catch fish and is the go-to for anyone chasing advice, gear or a good yarn.

Jake loves every style of fishing around Port Lincoln, from flats whiting to widewater tuna, but his favourite by far is slow pitch jigging. If that’s your thing, he’s the one to talk to.

Port Lincoln is a fishing mecca in SA, offering everything from squid, KG whiting and gummies to the hard-pulling kingfish, samsons and tuna. Jake’s top catch? A 133kg Southern Bluefin Tuna landed earlier this year, one of only a few ever caught in the region.

Swing by the store for a chat. With Jake’s passion for fishing, you might end up staying longer than you planned.

Dan first started fishing with his Dad as a 5 year old catching salmon at Davenport Creek and whiting in an old tinny; single cylinder seagull outboard that didn’t run properly, around Ceduna. Later moving to Port Lincoln and continued his keenness to fish often pinching a potato from his Mum and going squidding with a pin jag around the Trubridge berth or pinching a couple of pillies off the Tuna Boats to catch tommies and salmon trout; all with a handline.

In his teens he developed a passion for spearfishing, mostly targeting Strongys around Murry’s Point. These days you will find him chasing King George whiting at the Sir Joseph Banks Group or bottom bouncing the reefs south of the passage for Nannygai, Samson and other big reef species.
