Wayne Starr gets the opportunity of a lifetime when Mark drops in on his family BBQ to offer him a trip to Cape Don in the Northern Territory. Wayne hopes to win the fishing gear by catching 15 different species of fish, and Cape Don is a fantastic location to achieve this.
Jeremy Carr was at one point a homeless kid on the streets of Wollongong but has shown incredible strength to turn his life around. Mark surprises him at a football BBQ organised by his best mates and offers him the trip of a lifetime. Jeremy and Mark travel to Whyalla in South Australia to search for some of the best snapper fishing in the country. Jeremy’s challenge is to catch a snapper over 10kg to win $5000 worth of fishing gear.

When Mark surprises 11 year-old Harry Scanlin at his uncle’s home in Sydney he becomes the youngest person to go on the fishing adventure. Along with his dad Justin, Harry travels to Broome in Western Australia to take up the challenge of a lifetime. If Harry can catch 15 different species of fish he will receive $5000 worth of fishing gear.
With whales breaching all around us and amazingly calm conditions, the fishing in Broome was red hot. We had majestic sailfish all around the boat at one stage with thousands of Dolphins chasing schools of bait. From the deep blue we ventured in the creeks where Harry caught some outstanding fish.
It was a great experience watching father and son having such a great time together out on the water.
While shopping in his local tackle store we surprised John Figuero with a trip to a very remote place in Queensland. After a nervous phone call to his wife we packed his bags and jumped on a plane. The Escape River is a very remote destination that very few people ever venture. The Escape offers the angler various species of fish that you would normally only find on deep reefs.
With 30knott winds and heavy rain this was nothing short of a challenge. One thing we can’t control is Mother Nature and she turned up in force making for a very wet yet funny adventure.
You just never know what can happen in these remote locations with plenty of Sharks making life hard and a Black Jew fish we will never forget.
