1770 Rocks

posted in From the boys |

As mentioned in a previous blog we found ourselves last week in the town of 1770 in central Queensland – and what a week we had! Everything we set out to catch came off so we finished with a couple of great shows, the first of which will go to air in just three weeks time!

Check out the pics (all of Andrew, as Nick was happier to commentate on proceedings rather than fish!).

Other highlights include swimming in Fitzroy lagoon. It might be 80 kilometres out to sea, but it’s one of the prettiest spots in Aus! 1770 really does rock, so if you ever find yourself with a chance to get up there – take it!

Now this week on the show a real Hook, Line and Sinker classic! We make our own lures and try and catch a trout on them, and then a large tuna. Unbelievably, we actually catch fish – but two things become very obvious in this episode. Andrew is not great at working with timber, and Sammy, Nick’s dog, is no longer safe to roam the streets. You will see what we mean when you tune in!

Remember to keep the entries coming in for a chance to win a Mitsubishi Triton or EvaKool icebox. And just below here you’ll find a blog to win a new HLS DVD.

Until next time, safe fishing to you all!
Nick and Andrew
