Stavross 16,930 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I know what you mean about Martin bowler, Bernard cribbins made that program, I did like Jeremy wades early stuff, the one that sticks in my head is when he was fishing for arapaima in the Amazon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,855 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Well I thought it was OK ish but mainly a bit shit. Would be better if Bob had any interest at all about learning about fishing 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 16,930 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not exactly what I was expecting but I did enjoy it, it reminded me a lot of how me and my mate did our fishing, just being there with a good friend, talking about any old sh*t maybe enjoy a beer on a summers evening, I’ll be watching the rest of them just because there’s nothing better on the box Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 16,930 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I’ve just remembered another one I used to watch, go fishing with jack charlton, classics 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 There's a serious need for some new proper fishing shows, (and that was no angling show last night, even though it was watchable) unless commercial fisheries and hair rigs is your thing. Have to agree Jeremy Wade is good but let's face it, if he was fishing his local canal for Perch he'd say he was there because someone had been swimming there and got pulled under by a mystery fish and then ask have Gudgeon developed a taste for human flesh. The old ones were the best. Jack Charlton, Chris Yates and John Bailey all showed a slower more laid back approach to fishing without the competitive streak that seems to be a big part of fishing nowadays. Does anyone remember the legendary Jack Hargreaves gaffing the Pike and then releasing it ????? He'd get death threats nowadays, mostly from other anglers, LOL. Simpler times indeed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 16,930 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I completely agree with this, all I want to see is a fishing program that shows me how to enjoy it, a bit of water craft and some beautiful surrounding, one of the reasons I moved away from fishing was my mates went down the commercial fisheries route and that’s just not for me, I don’t want to catch gold fish or carp that look like they have been on steroids from a muddy hole in a field 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Thread just reminded me I've got this on the planner to watch.. Used to be a fair variety of fishing shows on TV, spent many an hour watching the likes of Matt Hayes, John Wilson, Paul Young etc. Rex Hunt was another entertaining presenter I used to enjoy watching.
