Tv Shows

Fishing University is just a 1/2 hr. commercial.

Just my opinion. Don't know why I watch it, but I never miss an episode.....lol

I only watch the English shows on WFN and The Fishing Adventurer.  Even Larry Dahlberg has become a product *****.

I like the english guy that does the 24-hour fisherman.  They give him goals that he has to accomplish within a 24 hour time frame...pretty cool.  Fishing is weird over there....lots of farm pond or man-made lake fishing.  Interesting to see their tactics though.

I gotta give it to them, they make a fishery out of catching whatever they can even down to what we would consider bait.  I enjoy Matt Hayes too.  He also did Wild Fisherman, an entire season of shows in Mozambique. He added over 30 different species of fish to his "life list".

[Darren.]

Yeah. Guess there's no way these folks could put on the shows if they didn't have the money.

 

Unless I'm in to the product being hawked, I either turn the channel or ignore. Ain't no baitmonkey gonna get me thru the TV screen. No way, man. I mean, right?

[TrapperJ]

Agree on fishing university, but i enjoy it every week. Charlie and Ray always get a laugh or two out of me but in a way i kinda like the one kind of lure only format. Then i feel after the show i gotta have that lure too.

 

I like to see how many times Ray can crack a joke about sabotaging Charlies boat, or doing those "little" things Charlie doesn't know about to get those few extra MPH over him.

Amen!

[SirSnookalot]

Only time I see a fishing show these days is when I'm channel surfing, I either surf right by it or watch for just a few minutes.  I happen to catch a few episodes of FLW, how I lasted 5-10 minutes was just an indication of my boredom at the moment.  I'm seeing these guys whooping and hollering like they had a 90 lb sailfish on the line with a flyrod.  What they had were fish that barely were 2 lbs and dragging them in 6 or 7 seconds, I looked my watch. I admire their exuberance as they are competing to earn money, but as a spectator...........

[Bankbeater]

I use to watch a lot of fishing shows.  Now I read the magazines.

Wasn't complaining, just commenting,

Don't do strippers,

And don't buy dances.

Never actually been that hard up....lol

Never drank a beer either huh...?

Very perceptive. No, don't drink, don't smoke, {anything}, and don't do drugs.

I'm a clean machine. And I find, that annoys the crap out of a lot of people.

However, when it comes to buying fishing tackle, I am hopelessly addicted....lol

P.S. Drinking isn't mandatory for survival, at least for me.

The only reason those shows exist is to hawk product, so....

I really enjoy watching MLF, Timmy Horton Outdoors, and that fishing commandos show where 2 guys go out on a lake they've never fished and try to put together a pattern. 

[TrapperJ]

What channel is Timmy Horton and Fishing commandos on? That fishing commandos sounds pretty cool.

[TNBassin']

Both are on the Outdoor Channel. Commandos could be better, but I really like the idea behind it. 

[TrapperJ]

man i been missing out then i'll set the DVR to add, thanks!

[TNBassin']

Glad I could help.

Shows like the Bass Pro's gives me a bunch of information.  Zona's is for entertainment.  If I get something from it then fine.  The other shows I watch just because it's freakin' cold outside and I can't go fish.

[J Francho]

I like MLF, Hunt for Big Fish, and Lunkerville.

[0119]

Lunkerville for sure. He has a way of making you feel good.  Its also interesting to see how you guys fish up there. You sure have alot of boat safety laws and seasonal rules to contend with.
