Tasmania
Robson heads on a ten and a half thousand Mile journey to a place, so remote, that even the Australians think it’s ‘down under’. Tasmania, an undiscovered fishing ‘Shangri-La’, boasts the cleanest air, the purest rivers and some of the most unpolluted coastline in the world. This week Robson will be staring danger in the face as he lands a fearsome Mako Shark. He’ll take on a Tasmanian champion and battle with a world record holder. He’ll catch a fish of a lifetime, the elusive Elephant Fish, and come face to face with the paparazzi as he discovers the extent of his fame in Tasmania.

Mozambique
This week Robson’s on an African adventure in magical Mozambique where he discovers some awesome angling. From fearsome fly fishing in one of the largest marine reserves in the Indian Ocean, to cracking crab catching in the first ever Inter-Continental Crustacean Crunch Down. Mozambique offers 2500kms of dramatic coastline with some of the most un-fished waters in the world. Robson hooks into a pack attack of yellow fin tuna, learns that salt water fly fishing is worlds away from the gentle rivers of Northumbria and gets hounded by pesky, fish stealing, sharks. To top it all off he challenges a local man who’s been catching electric catfish since he was knee high to a crocodile, so this episode promises to be electrifying!

Iceland
This week Robson’s heading to Iceland…..and it’s not for frozen peas! This is a country with thousands of miles of coastline and rivers, where nobody lives but the fish. Robson gets his thermals on and starts his challenge on the remote rugged volcanic island of Westman. His first opponent is a man who’s forefathers all fished these icy seas for a living. He caught his first Cod aged seven and is too proud to even consider being beaten by Robson. In fact he’s so sure he bets his house, boat and car on it. In his Icelandic challenge Robson travels around the country using some unusual methods of transport, from super trucks to Shetland ponies, all with the aim to fishing in the most beautiful and bountiful waters the country has to offer. A dramatic encounter with a ferocious Wolf Fish, a cliff top battle against a huge Icelandic Viking and landing his biggest Brown Trout ever make this episode one to remember for Robson.
