Hmmm. I know the show is strongly sponsor driven (which means boat fishing) but I would like to see a surf-casting show too. Many anglers do both, boat and shore. ( I fish at least 50% from shore and own a boat too). I have to admit, You have covered the NE boat fishing scene pretty thoroughly I think... You've had shows on nearly every fish I like to catch...Bass, Blues, Tuna, Tog, Seabass, Fluke, Shark, Albies, bones ...have you done a show on dinner-plate size Scup? I might have missed it but what about a whale Cod or Atlantic Halibut trip? An offshore canyon trip is always fun, most guys don't get to go often but it gets you drooling to go when you see 100#+ yft and big Wahoo coming over the gunnel....what about a night swordfish trip...or big blue marlin they have come back in some quantity out there in past years.

Getting back to inshore... how about a show on catching....bait! I know it is not very Hollywood but the bay-men in me would like to see ways to catch all kinds of bait and how to use it. A real fisherman catches his own bait. Personally, I get a thrill out of catching bait just to go fishing because when you have the prime bait...you know your in for some good fishing. Thinking...bunker, squid, mullet, sand-eels, eels even worms...etc.

That's my 2 cents.
