to me, and i know some of you guys know them, the OTW guys seem truly excited about what they are doing, it brings an amateur-ish charm to the show. I think they do spend time talking to the charter captains on what they are doing and give diagrams of the set ups. As far as sutfacting, in this area its a night time game and I enjoyed the McKenna show, but its not very appealing seeing 2 guys stand on rocks in the dark. you cant see the hits or lure/eel action. I dont watch the freshwater or ice fishing episodes, its not my thing.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all

yeah, that was kind of what my attempt at a joke was aimed at, surfcasting TV would not be that exciting. Maybe if you were in montauk and got some good day time blitzes on film, that would be very cool.

Watching them drag a spreader bar around for 60 pound tuna, I can't even understand how that could be interesting to the people doing it never less watch it.

Need to put in more how to and less reeling in fish. More surf fishing would also be nice.
I agree, 20 minutes of "hey, look, we're catching fish", not very exciting, and the camera work is pretty bad, not to mention that I've never seen a show where they caught anything really large. Same can be said for Northeast Angling, but instead of two New York guys catching small fish with bunker, OTW is two New England guys catching small fish with eels. I will, of course, watch both shows because they are the only fishing shows that feature fishing in this area, but I long for something better.
