These two adorable Jack Russells try and reel in a big catch as they go on a fishing expedition together.

Bodgit and Scarper get tangled up in nets and hang off a speedboat as they try and get hold of a fish.

The dogs were photographed in a studio before designers put together pictures of them on a fictional fishing trip.

The images are all included in the Bodgit and Scarper Go Fishing Calendar for 2014.

Calendar designer Steve Bicknell said: 'The cheeky younger smaller dog Bodgit is really called Scooby and and her brother is called Scrappy.

'The photo session was very straightforward as both dogs were extremely well behaved with very lovable personalities.

'The truth is that the real hard work is the computer retouching which takes our photographer Paul Cocken a huge amount of time.

'The multi-talented dogs have previously made appearances as builders, mechanics and rock stars.

'But we've published this new version after a break of three years.'

The Bodgit & Scarper Go Fishing calendar is £9.99 and available at most retailers or can be bought online at www.themaverickshop.com
