Tyson Kain

Hi my name is Tyson Kain and I live in Port Macdonnell South Australia and I am the owner and operator of Want To Fish Charters.
Our vessel is a 9m caliber centre cab running twin 300hp Suzuki’s which gives a top speed of 42knots.
For the winter season I am based out of Port Macdonnell where I predominately target Southern Blue Fin tuna in the large variety. In the summer I relocate and base out of Wirrina Cove, South Australia. In Wirrina Cove we target school sized blue fin tuna and bottom fish species.
I have come from a strong fishing background where I have worked in the commercial cray fishing industry for 12yrs and have also been in the charter industry for 9yrs. In 2022, I begun running my own charter business, so i guess you could say, salt runs through my veins.
I am one of only a few charter operators with the accreditation from the Tuna Champions program as a "Golden tuna charter operator" which certifies that I take pride in my care for the fish we catch and the sustainability of the fishing industry.
This season I have jumped onboard with Predator Tackle. Their flurocarbon leader is the best on the market and has definitely been making a huge difference to the overall catches on board Want To Fish Charters. Their terminal tackle (hooks, swivels etc) are top quality products which can give you the edge over your competitors.
I am very excited and proud to be a part of the Predator tackle team and look forward to working with them for many years to come!
