Episode 131 - Mark ”Bargy” Bargenquast

On Episode 131 we have a very special show, a guy both of us have watched and admired for a long time, Mark Bargenquast. Mark or Bargy as he is known has been a saltwater guide for many years, starting his operation in Hervey Bay where his skill out shone a lot of the guiding available there at the time. Bargy also featured in Taz Jefferies film Black Torpedos where he caught the first Hervey Bay Permit caught on film, amongst the other iconic species that Hervey bay has to offer. Bargy recently took over the iconic saltwater guiding operation from Allan Philiskirk in Weipa known as Fish's Fly and Sportfishing. We chat to Bargy about his old stomping ground in Hervey Bay and reflect on the changes in the area over a lifetime. We also chat about his operation, hunting, his boats and some advice for those fishing with guides. Bargy is a guides guide, a well known personality and an all round top block who lives and works in what is arguably one of the worlds best Saltwater Flyfishing destinations in the world.
