Don't worry if it turns out to be a normal year this year than the next year will be fine. People like instant gratification and when they don't get it they give up and look elsewhere and we can go back to normality.

I let my scrip lapse for a while hoping it would improve, but it's the same old same old it seems.

And the show has gotten really lame. I nearly ralphed when I heard they were going to do an episode with Nolan. Did it ever air?

Personally I hope they don't do exposes no shore spots. We are already under attack from can tossing, line crossing, parking lot pissing idiots.

once you have a clue do you really need a fishing mag or show? It's like baseball, fun to play, BORING to watch.

Ehhh. Not sure on that as a few here and their are entertaining. I don't watch too many anymore as I don't have the spare time to watch fishing shows, but there are some that get the juices flowing...

If you're bored watching baseball, you're not watching close enough.

I have played enough to know what it is about. It's one thing to be on the field, another to watch it on t.v. You have to admit most games are not close, well pitched, with clutch hitting affairs. My bigger point was watching some guy catch a few 10 to 20 pound fish isn't the same as catching them yourself, hopefully much bigger. Now i will watch fishing I never get to do, like rooster fish in the surf or big G.T.'s on poppers.

I know they filmed the episode with Bill and Jim White fishing bunker. I was withing 50 feet of them in my boat. It probably didn't air as that morning was absolutely pee soup fog and I imagine the quality of the film was less than optimal. They did get a ton of good fish up to the mid 30# but the fog was brutal.

There was a crazy public access show a while ago on surfcasting - the guys were from Charlestown, RI....It was very whacky, I liked it.

funny that you should mention that, as
i've been considering filming me nephews at a coupla spots,
at night, slinging snakes into sum feeshy suds, documentary style~~~

problem is i only have a home version minicam and it would prolly
be very "Cloverfieldesque". i'm still gonna give it a shot, for our own
viewing and rememberance pleasures, but NOT at the risk of burning me HH.

does anyone know where i can pick-up sum "night film"?

That's GREAT news.

Today's broadcast was done in 2007. Live lining pogies from a boat off Fisher's Island. Still did the trick for my Sunday morning fix, as that is probably my favorite style of fishing off the boat.
