Fishing Shows

REDBULLCUBAN · 01-19-09, 10:42 PM

I don't know about you but there is alot of fishing shows that seem to be a lil below par. I mean yes they catch fish but who cant in stocked ponds right? And then its alot of boring boring people. I just think that now adays anyone can have a fishing show and im just tired of finding myself watching thses stupid shows!!!!!

Sorry was excited i put a bunch of shows to record on my dvr and watched them last night and finished today, and was diappointed.

About the only one I would like to see if Kim Stricker's Hook and Look. I don't watch much tv at all so I will have to go out of my way to see that one. I'd like to see his underwater footage. A lot of the other ones I have seen are just like long commercials.

I don't watch too many shows on the TV. I usually can find just about any tip or topic on-line.

I've stopped watching fishing shows. Just watching some guy reel in fish is a waste of time.

BassinBandit · 01-20-09, 09:11 AM

There are a few good ones out there. The Bass Pros is really good and so is Bass Pro Fishing can be good. I tell you I think I have learned more from the Videos on the main site here though they are awesome.

I've watched way too many boring fishing shows. Talk is really cheap when they're fishing a private stocked pond, or have a fish put on their hook so you can see them land it.

The only two fishing shows I watch and actually learn something from is Bass Pros and Lindner's Angling Edge. Just recorded buy haven't seen Hook & Look, but have heard only good things about.

Yep, it's really a shame there are so many sub-par fishing shows out there. Gives the better ones (The Bass Pros, Lindners, etc) a bad name. It would also be nice if there were a channel devoted entirely to fishing. Seems like the so-called "Outdoor" channels are 90% hunting year-round.

I watched Bill Dances new Saltwater show 2 weeks in a row. They don't peddal that much product. There are no stocked ponds in the Ocean. It's also a Hoot to watch a freshwater guy go after Goliath Grouper. I wish he would run the freshwater program in the same way.

REDBULLCUBAN · 01-20-09, 03:09 PM

also like bryan said too much hunting wich i could care less for but hook n look is one that i do watch to see the underwater footage. thanks for all your inputs!

I like Ike's new show. Seen 2 of them and they're pretty cool. That dude is crazy but he can fish. I like him

Are you referring to City Limits? That's also a excellent show. Not your typical fishing show for sure.

cassidyta · 01-20-09, 04:31 PM

The versus website had a couple of the video's on there. I watched NYC and DC this weekend.

flfireman · 01-20-09, 09:37 PM

Official a$$ kiss post.... I find that most TV shows only show and promote the sponsor that pays the bills. They cast, reel in a fish and brag about product X. They never show or explain, techniques, set up's, the why?, what? and where? they are doing all of the above. That's why.........here it comes, I prefer the production videos, instructional shorts and the maximum exposure offered on BASSFISHIN.COM. They have entertained and taught me above and beyond any source in public use. End of a$$ kissing. I keep them on at work, usually as background noise. I look up every now and then to see what they are catching, mostly to see where they are at and make a mental note of someplace I would like to fish in the future.

Wags · 01-20-09, 09:45 PM

at this point of the year, I will watch Dora the Explorer catch purple fish with pink polka-dots!!! I have watched Ike on the City Limits show, I appreciate watching him learn a new body of water and listen to him explain how they are changing patterns, lures, retrieval speeds, ect to find a pattern that works. It sure beats watching Bill Dance sit on his a$$ and catch fish in private stocked ponds for sure!!....or Roland Martins inf0-mercials

REDBULLCUBAN · 01-20-09, 10:14 PM

flfireman...a$$ kiss post? dont understand that one...but there are some shows that explain exactly what you want also...

bamabassman · 01-20-09, 10:36 PM

redbull..da hoser is kising kevin's rear,lmao. and i kinda agree with him on the fact that the shows nowadays don't truly explain everything he stated. that is why i hardly EVER watch a fishing show. i have learned MUCH more from kevin videos than what espen shows. i DO learna little though. but one has to read between the lines if you know wht i mean.

brushhog · 01-20-09, 10:50 PM

I like A Day at the Lake, they put a pro on a lake he has never fished and he gives the lowdown on how he is approaching the lake. the number of casts they throw makes my shoulders ache...

everettvet · 01-21-09, 07:02 PM

I will throw my 2 cents in. The Bass Pros seems to be the most educational show out there. I like watching any show that I can learn from. Not all of them teach stuff. Most are infomericals and I understand the sponsors want their products promoted, but I don't have the time to waste for an infomerical.
