'Coxy's Big Break' on Fat Hooker
We had the pleasure of filming a deep sea fishing segment for the Victorian hit travel show, "Coxy's Big Break" on the weekend. Despite the rough conditions, the sun was out and the boys had fun hooking up a few Spanish mackerel and mack tuna. The segment will be aired on Channel 7 later on in the year.
