what would you like to see in a fishing programme?

[mark barrett]

i am doing some filming next qweek for a forthcoming series on discovery, and during discussions with the producer he mentioned that they would like to get into fishing programmes in a big way. thing is they are loking for a new idea/s and not the same type of format.

 

i have put forward a few ideas, but what would you guys like to see?

Proper match fishing!!!!!

not some well known celeb on a private estate lake full of carp thats been pre baited for the last 5 years without a hook ever being put in there....

[chesters1]

blanks ,rain! more blanks ,litter strewn banks ,the angler getting covered in dog crap ,line with little birds stuck in it ,cyclists running over poles etc you know real life stuff

[Severn Wolf]

I`d love to see a top angler challenged to fish waters they`d never seen before. Not so they`d blank and make themselves look daft in front of the camera but to give an insight into how a good angler would approach a new water, the signs they`d look for etc.

Yup, lets get them on a commercial fishery

 

Apart from the occasional big match on a river theres no such thing as proper match fishing anymore :mad:

like that idea mate, definately one i will forward to them

Sorry to dissapoint but i only do canals.....usually staffs-worcs (Wombourne to penkridge ) or walsall canal (Bilston to Great bridge)

 

and i can't believe we lost to Burnley last Friday,Watched it in the Acorn on Walsall Road....Gutted....

Apart from articulate anglers, I would love to see visits to tackle factories, for example, more back ground stuff. Screaming Reels sort of style with less dross. And let it all be 'Passion' quality.

 

Actually, I reckon 'Discovery' treats anglers pretty well. I would like to see far more American input though, we have so much to learn from those guys.

 

And can we see more nooky?

[woodmouse]

learn from the yanks....are you joking....lets bring back gaffs and T-bars....

[Severn Wolf]

Mark, if you need someone to have as a control blank......its my speciality

 

Woodmouse, I`m just up the road from you mate, Sedgley and yes, how we lost after 90 minutes of brilliant play I`ll never know........

 

(sorry, not hijacking the thread guys )

I think Wolfs idea is cracking.

 

When I watch fishing programs I like to see anglers fishing in the same situations as me, ie coarse fish.

 

Watching anglers in some far flung destination having the time of their life doing what I cant just doesnt hold any interest from me.
