AFN Locations

The Lure Design Project

Nige Webster heads to the Coral Sea with a plan in mind: to help a lure designer test product.

Tailor to Trout

Nige Webster and Bill Classon go on a fishing road trip with a specific quest.

Customer Challenge & Wrestling Wrasse

Nige springs a surprise challenge on a BCF Staff Member at work, and then we head out with the Nomad boys to fight some tricky wrasse.

Sydney Squid & Kings

It’s business time on the AFN Fishing Show, as Nige meets Sydney fishing guide Stuart and challenges him to catch both squid and kingfish!

Impossible Mission: A Day in the Life of a Guide

The team brings the challenge to Nomad fishing guide Andrew Harvey, as we explore the Great Barrier Reef and discover just what it takes to be a guide in these beautiful waters.

The AFN team go head to head in a North Vs South Challenge. Using the same lures, Nige Webster targets tropical reef fish, while down south Bill Classon chases southern bluefin tuna. The day has plenty of surprises, including a monstrous and deadly visitor!

Extreme Polycrafting

Nige Webster and Jase Medcalf do what that do best – go fishing, and try to break things. The boys chase pelagic fish offshore before turning their hands to target estuary fish. The day takes on a twist when the boys are asked to test a boat in a very different fashion!

Nomad Game Show

The AFN spring a surprise visit to the Nomad sportfishing operation. The crew hold a game show to choose somebody to front the cameras and have a day of fishing with Nige! A Sydney angler jumps on board, and while we get to know our new mate, the tropical fishing action goes absolutely nuts!

Coral Trout Metal Challenge

Nige heads out on the water with plumber and avid fisherman Jamie, and tries to convert him from bait fishing to metal lures. Can they catch enough coral trout to change Jamie’s mind, or will he stick to his ways and continue to fish bait?

Ballarat Fly Vs Lure & Gold Coast Mackerel

It’s Fly V Lure as Nige joins Trevor Hawkins on Lake Windouree and engages in a friendly trout competition. Then Kord takes Nige out to the mackerel grounds, where they utilise some unwilling participants.

VIP Raffle Adventure

Nige takes a BCF raffle winner out on a fishing expedition, targeting both reef species and pelagics. If they can’t catch enough species across the two environments, Nige is stuck packing boxes for BCF.

Mackerel Surfing Challenge

Nige takes champion longboard surfer Nic Jones offshore, and sets a few challenges for the rookie angler. Then they hit the surf, and the tables are turned, as Nic sets Nige a few challenges of his own.

Surface Plastics and Cod

The AFN Fishing team heads to NSW to try and catch Murray cod on surface soft plastic lures: a task they have never achieved. The crew then heads to Victoria and pits two teams against each other in a unique fishing tournament.

The Brynterview

Today we conduct a job interview on the water as the team takes on a budding journalist intern. To get the job he simply has to catch a big fish! We then head north and give a barramundi pro very limited time to catch fish.

Mission ‘Shut Dave Up’

The AFN team have a ‘lippy’ cameraman that challenges Nige to better a ‘Personal Best.’ Nige and a fishing guide work hard in the tropics to silence their noisy work colleague!

Father Son Trout Challenge

The AFN Fishing Show heads to the tropics with a special father-to-son fishing challenge. A fishing guide is put to the test to catch a large coral trout on soft plastics or pay the price of failing.

Sneaky Tricks

Today we put a fishing journalist to the test: he gets one day to prove he can catch NSW luderick using an artificial technique he has written about in magazines. The team then heads to the New Zealand South Island to target trout in fast flowing rivers.

Gold Coast Trifecta

The AFN Fishing team heads to the blue waters of the Gold Coast. We enlist a game fishing crew to help us test a theory. After the shock of hearing about their strange challenge, the crew quickly get to work and take on a rough ocean.

Survivor Island

Today starts on a deserted tropical island with only a box of lures and a challenge to survive! To help us catch fish, we use the help of some touring Texan anglers. Then we target Murray cod in NSW and conduct an on-water job interview at the same time!

Gold Coast and New Zealand

The AFN team take on a multi-species fishing tournament on the Gold Coast that also aims to raise money for paramedics with a great cause. We then head to New Zealand and target cruising lake trout with soft plastic lures.

Weipa Barra Challenge

Nige brings the challenge to fishing guide Nicolai Fewtrell – catch 20 small barra, or one over 75 centimeters. The downside? For every bi-catch that comes aboard, Nicolai has to eat a random item from the dreaded ration pack!

Eucumbene Trout Season

Nige and Trevor head to Eucumbene for a rematch of their fly vs lure challenge. The boys make some competitive catches, but as they bash through the bush, things take a dramatic turn for the worse. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with a man down, this suddenly becomes a tougher challenge than they ever expected!

Tasmania Trout & Copeton Dam

Peter Morse and Simon Gawesworth join the locals fly-fishing the stunning waters of Tasmania. Then later, Nige Webster and Benny Lockwood break out the soft plastics to hunt for golden perch at Copeton Dam.

New Zealand Trout

Nige Webster joins Frank Prokop in New Zealand and puts his Aussie pride on the line – can he snare that elusive 20 pound trout?

Cape York Experience

Nige Webster visits the traditional land owners at Cape York for a very different fishing experience. Then later we join Nicolai Fewtrell on the hunt for some hungry barra.

Lure Paint Trout & Flinders Island

Nige and Trevor paint up their own lures and hunt for a feed of fish. Can their crafty artwork entice a bite, or will every one be left cold and hungry? Then, Bill Classon heads to Flinders Island, to get in on the amazing gummy shark fishing!

Mustad Mini-Marlin & Eildon Cod

Nige Webster and his nine year-old son Lachlan experience the thrill of marlin fishing. Will Lachy get a chance to achieve his dream catch? Then later on, Bill and Nige take AFN’s general manager Debbie to try and catch her first murray cod.

Mackerel, Mahi Mahi & Marlin & Fitzroy Barra

We explore trolling baits for deep water species at North Stradbroke Island with Troy Dixon, before we chase some shallow water rock bar barramundi with paddletail soft plastics.

Polaroiding Estuary Flats & Spinning Sydney’s Headlands

Join the AFN crew as they hit shallow water estuary and bay waters in search of big trevally, then head to the bustle of the city as we sample some of Sydney’s rock fishing.

Gold Coast Flathead & Welshpool Whiting

There’s nothing quite like a fantastic day in the Queensland sun. The AFN Fishing Show teaches you how to catch flathead at the Gold Coast – with a surprise catch along the way. Back down south, we’ll look at how to pump for bait and hopefully catch a whiting or two!
