Hook, Line and Sinker

We have finally updated the website with the latest Beast segments! The Beast’s created a bit of a stir this year – people have been talking about it all over the country! Well, we can report she is still floating and still goes fast! We have fished out of her a couple of times, but the weather in Tassie at the moment is keeping us at bay.

Hopefully you will enjoy the latest updated vids on the beast page.

There’s only a few more remaining episodes of Hook, Line and Sinker for 2009. That means two things – firstly, make sure you tune in to get your fishing fix every Saturday because we won’t be back for a good six months or more, and secondly make sure you enter our classic catches competition right now! There’s just a tad under 2000 entries and one of them will win a brand-new Triton. That’s pretty good odds, so get uploading now. We draw the car on our final show on August 29.

Thanks also to Les and Greg Ware for writing in this week. They just want to warn everybody about a recent fish they caught, because it’s protected. Here’s what they had to say:

Hi guys,

I have entered the attached photo in your competition. My reason for doing so was not because it was a big fish, since Spotted Cods grow to over a metre in length (as you would know), but because I felt it may be worthwhile showing your viewers what this beautiful but protected species looks like to ensure they don’t risk attracting the $11,000 fine should they be found to have one in their possession. Had my husband not recognised the fish, I’d have been unaware that it was protected. Naturally we released it.

I have other photos of the Cod if you would like to use them to show the fish in its entirety. It was caught in our crab trap off our jetty on the North Shore of the Hastings River.

Thanks for a great show!

Now exciting news for 2009/2010 – we are going to be running a repeat of the entire 2009 series of Hook, Line and Sinker on the Aurora Channel on Pay TV. It should start in September sometime, we’ll keep you posted exactly when.

Also, we’ll be putting out a DVD of the series in time for Christmas this year. We’ll keep you posted on how you can get yours early and save money.

See you on Saturday, on the box!

Cheers,
Nick and Andrew
