Fishing and Adventure is back on TVNZ 1 this August with their brand-new season and epic new Surtees Holy Ship.

Season eight finds the crew regularly in unfamiliar waters, with episodes filmed in a number of exciting new locations around New Zealand, including the Bay of Plenty, Wairarapa, Coromandel, Taranaki, Northland and Raglan.

Scott and Mig continue to try and land their challenge fish and avoid the nasty consequences, while providing fishing tips and tricks along the way to viewers of all ages.

This season has a handful of classic grass roots style episodes, mixed with a few of the trademark <ITAL>Fishing and Adventure<> ‘mission’ style trips, including one to the legendary D'Urville Island in the Marlborough Sounds. Here, the boys get stuck into some South Island variety fish across two must-watch special episodes.

Scott and Mig also step off their boat and out of their comfort zone for a freshwater episode and have a go at some trout and salmon action in the Twizel Canals, Canterbury.

Fishing and Adventure has continued to raise the bar each year and this year is no different. Viewers will be treated to underwater action shots and beautiful scenery, showcasing some of the best fishing spots New Zealand has to offer.

Season Eight premieres on TVNZ 1, Sunday August 2 at 4:30pm.
