Mark Berg's Fishing Addiction

Our lucky winner this week is thirteen year old Travis and his Dad Royce from Helensburg in NSW. These guys were blown away when Mark announced that they had won a trip to Tairua in the North Island of New Zealand fishing for Snapper and huge King Fish. What a trip this was with young Travis almost being pulled over the side of the boat several times by big powerful King fish. It’s a nail bitting last minute effort for Travis and his Dad chasing the $5000 challenge with some very close calls on some great Snapper. Its father and son side by side on a very special trip to one of the best fishing grounds in New Zealand.

During a family barbeque the fishing Addiction team came knocking at the home of Nathan Harriman in Mt Ousley in NSW. Nathan was surprised with a trip to Albany Island at Cape York in far North Queensland.

With fish well over 100kg on offer this is one challenge that our winner would never forget as these fish are literally a once in a life time proposition. Another nail bitting episode that could very easily end in disaster for our winner.
