OTW TV Needs Some New Ideas!

[beaver]

A few things to consider are the facts that...
a. filming a night is not the easiest task
b. don't want to give away too many spots, thats why boat fishing shows seem more popular
c. they are trying to reach everyone's fishing needs
d. IT AIN'T FREE... and this economy isn't helping. TV time isn't cheap and I'm sure OTW needs some sponsorship dough to get their shows on the air. They can film a bazillion tv shows all over New England, but if they can't afford to air them then its useless.

I hope they can get some more shows, particularly surf fishing with reputable anglers like they did with steve mckenna and mike laptew a few years back. I'd like to see a show on the outer cape beaches. I feel like you could preserve the specific location and just focus on the water.

I'd really like to see more fly fishing but I think it's probably fine th way it is. I think it's the best new england fishing show, although the bar's not very high. If anyone's interested I'd be willing to host a show!!

"We're fishing today with John Doe at the Phantom Beach for striped bass sometime during the fishing season at no tide in particular."
"John, what can you not tell us?"

It's unrealistic to expect a for profit fishing show not relay the basics related to the show's subject matter. The viewership and advertisers expect certain things.

Now, a not-for-profit web or public access show - different story. You want the host to swear, let him. You want to tell the viewers they can watch, but we're not going spoon feed you spots, you can. You want to engage in irreverant zaniness - go for it. What you've got in the end could be something really creative or useless - depending on who did it.
