Returning: Fishing Australia
They may play sworn enemies on Underbelly, but actors Gyton Grantley and Les Hill go fishing together in the first episode of Fishing Australia’s new season.
“If you like the boys in Underbelly, you’ll love seeing them in real-life competing out on the ocean – they had a ball,” host Rob Paxevanos said.
“Knife jigs require a lot of skill and the boys were fast learners, they pull in some beauties, each averaging around 95cm in length.”
The series returns to WIN TV Saturday May 10 at 5:30pm.

Enemies in UNDERBELLY but mates on the water, Gyton and Les declare ‘the competition is on!’ Aboard the good ship Argus the boys score a string of snapper followed by a good catch of striped tuna with skirted lures.
