She Worked on Game Boats… Now She’s Building Fishing Gear Lisa Noble
🎣 Get the Net – Tight Lines, Loose Lips! 🎙️Show Notes
In this episode of Get The Net, we sit down with Lisa Noble, founder of Ocean Obsessed Apparel and Swordie Boots, to talk about her journey from working on game boats to building her own fishing brand.
Lisa grew up around the ocean and spent time working aboard game fishing boats before settling down and starting a family. Her passion for fishing never faded, and while on maternity leave she finally took the leap to launch an apparel brand aimed at filling a gap she’d always noticed — fishing gear designed specifically with women in mind.
That journey eventually led to the development of Swordie Boots, purpose-built fishing boots designed to be comfortable, practical and tough enough for long days on the water. Lisa shares the story behind the brand, lessons from working in the industry, and why her connection to the fishing community helped bring the idea to life.

In Japan, jig anglers have an unofficial benchmark. It isn’t a club with a membership card. It’s a bluefin tuna over 100 kilos, caught on the jig. You can’t plan for one or buy your way into it. You just keep dropping. Justin Corric had chased that fish for years. A little over four weeks ago, on the final morning of one of the toughest trips of his life, he finally got one.
Captain Rick Pollock grew up in Hollywood, the son of a doctor whose patients included movie stars, and had boated 100 billfish out of Baja Mexico by the time he was 18. He arrived in New Zealand in 1978 on what was meant to be a one-year contract skippering a charter boat out of Whakatane, fishing White Island — and never left. Rick sits down with Nick to share stories from nearly 50 years on the water, including White Island — his home away from home — plus the day his boat tied the All Tackle world record kingfish, and a career built almost entirely around the country's most obsessed-over sportfish.
