We're joined by new member Chris Anderson this week and he has certainly opened his account with a bang. Chris hails from Nashville, Tennessee but this incredible footage was shot in San Diego, California, and shows how teaser baits are used to attract the Mako sharks to the boat before a well-positioned lure is cast into their path...

Also of note this week was this fantastic array of shots from Tony Nootebos from Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia. The White Sturgeon is a lesser-known species in many parts of the world, but as these pictures show, they definitely look like they'd put a bend in your rod!…

If you're as confused as we were about the title, then watch this clip. It makes things a whole lot clearer...

Also posted this week was this excellent blog on fly-fishing for GT, Triggerfish and Milkfish on Farquhar Island in the Seychelles. Thanks Jako! (Jako is definitely what you'd call an expert in such matters - check out his profile here)

Next up, a beautiful 16lb sea-liced fish from the Delfur beat of the River Spey - arguably the best beat in the whole of Scotland. Caught by, ahem, yours truly.

And…

Check out our fishing fly of the day!

After two long weeks of working on boats it was a welcome relief to receive our guests this week. Ben Pierce came to Farquhar two years ago and decided it might be a great place to bring some of his mates and their partners. They immediately fell into the guides favour when the whipped out the “Simms Swag”. Cherished boots, buffs, caps and shirts were received amid oohs and aahs. The guides looked the part, now we needed to earn the image.

We knew things were looking good when on the first morning Jason Miller landed a trophy Triggerfish. Being a self confessed Permit nut he presented the crab to the Trigger with deadly accuracy time and time again. After a few dozen perfect casts the general feeling was that the fish wasn’t hungry, but Jason persisted and was rewarded by his first moustache…
