With all these so-called "Real" life TV programs how about a real life fishing show not another boat show?

I have been fishing for about 35 years I started back when my dad was stationed in Turkey,Cigli Air Base in Izmir Turkey. Dad and I fished in Izmir Bay right in back of base/post housing beyond the 360 degree perimeter fence. I was probably in early grade school. And we didn't have a boat but I have fished out of a boat in about 300 feet or more of icy cold water in Puget Sound in Seattle Washington state. But most of my (99.99 % has been off some kind of fixed platform). In Izmir it was off a bank. In Oklahoma it was in a lake off a rocky bank under some trees, or off a bank near a reservoir, in Virginia it was off a pier or a point in WA state it was off a "Lock" or a pier in New Hampshire or off periwinkle covered rocks. The point is that not everyone can afford a boat and really not everyone wants a boat i.e. PFD's,operating the boat, needing a bilge pump, boating rules of the road etc. I am thinking about having a fishing show from the "bank",or a bridge, or a pier etc. Email me.

One thing about TV fishing shows they are to entertain only with just a touch of real life info in them and that's all!


10 years ago a buddy talked me into making some educational videos for fishing and deer hunting and we did some test marketing with them and found ppl want to see the KILL or CATCH only and very few want to learn real life tips for hunting and fishing.


My vids of fishing were as follows - Big Cat Secrets! Gills N Redear BASICs! Crappie spring/summer/fall/ice!Hunting vids- Back Yard bow! Buck N The BASICs! Standin for Success!


We gave it up after a 6 month product survey versus big name selling videos and just did not find the interest in the everyday guy hunter and fisherman.Most ppl wanted big bucks shot on cam and not a real how to video!I invested lots of money(profesional video cam cost me 100 per day rental) and we had professinal editing too vids looked good but from the viewers ratings I stopped.I put survey sheets in with every video and the most common complaint was lack of kills to why do we not use certain products!


I find that ppl say they want to learn but when it comes down to it they want the action only!
Reply:That'd be neat and relaxing, maybe even reach that peaceful level of camaraderie we enjoy while waiting in the flesh for our nibbles.


I caught my first fish at about age 5 (a huge cabazone), from the municipal wharf at Santa Cruz, California. I've deep-sea fished for salmon and other fish, off the Central Coast of CA. I've also fished off the banks of Clear Lake, CA.


A fishing show with a couple guys/gals waiting and talking about fishing and fishing experiences (and life's reflections that come from those thoughts) would be wonderful.


I'd sit still for that.


It'd be rewarding, educational, comforting and fun.


Do it.

Reply:I know someone who agreed to be filmed for a cable TV fishing show. Sad to say, on the day of filming, he caught nothing. So the TV show had nothing to show. It was a waste of time and a waste of money. Yet that's fishing some days you catch them so days you don't.
Reply:not interesting to advertisers, who pay for the show.
