The Fish Tank is an Aussie outdoors podcast about fishing, boating, and off-grid travel—featuring CNC Marine and Blue Dog Boats as they break down their design-to-build process for tough, custom plate boats.
The episode also features a candid chat with CNC Marine and Blue Dog Boats on how a tough plate boat goes from idea to water:
-
Design with feedback loops: how builder and user input shifts layouts, structure and fit-out choices.
-
Trade-offs that matter: weight vs. ride, deck flow, survey considerations, trailer setup.
-
Real-world proving: why unsponsored testing and time on the water beat spec sheets every day.
Real Boats, Real Talk: Unprofessional Travellers on the Road
If you’ve caught an episode of The Fish Tank, you’ll know the crew behind Unprofessional Travellers aren’t studio folks—they’re out there fishing, boating, camping and learning in real time. This episode follows their path the way it actually happens: long drives, early launches, gear hiccups, and the small wins that add up to good days on the water.
What this episode covers
-
How they work on the road: planning shoots around weather and tides, keeping cameras alive in salt and wind, and editing from utes, sheds and caravan parks.
-
Why honesty wins: sharing the sessions that don’t go to plan and what they’d change next time—no gloss, just lessons.
-
Community first: bringing in stories from fishos, builders and locals; letting feedback shape the next trip.
