Maybe they should look into producing a show called "Off The Water" for the shore-bound angler?
I enjoy fishing shows, but if every show is geared toward boat anglers and charter trips, it bores me to the point that I just change channels.
I guess they focus almost entirely on the boat aspect of fishing because after they've burned so many spots they can't get a place to themselves for filming???
One other observation I have is that they tend to show the wrong shows during the wrond season. At least during the winter months, that is.
Sure, you want to spur peoples memories of striper fishing when they can't get out on the water, but why not balance the programming to include just as much ice fishing shows during the winter, to spur on those that enjoy being out "on the water"?
You sure as heck don't see ice fishing episodes being broadcast during the summer, do you?
Sorry for the rant, but this is one of the reasons I don't subscribe or read their magazine (when you get past all the ads) and why I rarely watch their show anymore.
