Bart Butson is a third generation fisherman from Port Wakefield, South Australia. Like his grandfather and father before him, Bart fishes with a gill net in shallow inshore waters for scalefish like whiting, garfish, snook and tommy ruff. Bart is an industry leader, not only recognised by various seafood producer awards, but also for the respect he commands from his fellow fisherman and regulators alike. His concern for sustainability of the environment is driven by the desire to see his fishery continue for future generations.
Bart brings us his premium, wild caught, local produce from a 20ft wooden boat – the only technology on board is a GPS unit and a scrapped inboard motor revived by his son-in-law, Shaun.
