“Just Add Water” Feature from Channel 9

February 16, 2011 by Jim & Harry 1 Comment

michael thomson 300x211 Just Add Water Feature from Channel 9See Michael Thomson (Thommo) from Channel Nine’s “Just Add Water” in action on Wilderness Island. “Thommo” was there for a visit with 2 of his sons, James and Sam.

Right from the shallows in front of the lodge and on the first cast with a popper Thommo hooked something large, and you should see how this fish kept him going for the next 40 minutes.

Pulling something this big within minutes of casting is not unusual at the island.

Thommo spends some quality time with the 2 guys behind Wilderness Island. You really get a sense of the passion these guys have for their little piece of paradise.

Wilderness Island is a fishing and ecological paradise in Exmouth Gulf in North West Australia that offers small groups an exclusive and unforgettable experience on their own private island.See Harry Butler in action in stealth mode catching the huge mud crabs.

Good mates Jim and Harry had the same vision as kids, to live on an island. They're now living that dream.

Life is nice living on a secluded and tranquil eco island with the best fishing on the planet. You too can now share the Wilderness Island experience.
