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

May fortune favor the foolish....

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 like the show and think the crew of OTW do a great job but some diversity is in order to keep it fresh.....it is too much of the same stuff! As far as repeats go I have seen the "Cinto" episode about 40 times and not seen the McKenna show even once??!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

41 times with today's airing of the same episode..... but it is striper fishing.

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.

Catch enough 20# fish and that gets boring too.

Set up a big ramp, get a live 20ft Great White in a cage, and then have an episode where Flaptail jumps it in his skiff.

In general I really like the show. Yes, I am sick of the episodes, but I am pretty sure that there will be some new episodes out in a little while.

Surf casting shows will have major implications in spot burning and unless they do it at night, which is difficult, I think they probably will not. I did hear that they were filming a little during the day down at the canal during the infamous mackerel blitz. I will be curious to see how they filmed it because the spot they were fishing is a little off the beaten path with not a lot of access.

Been there, done that. Didn't generate any interest on thier part. I am now trying to sell the idea to a travelling Bosnian amateur circus troupe for this coming summer. Only problem is they want to pay me in potatoes and cabbages.

Why even try.........

Oh yeah, another thing. They think it would be more believable to eastern europeans if I changed the great white to a Sturgeon.

Why even try.........
