what tv fishing shows do you watch and why?
-
I watch SportfishingBC if available. I stay away from Nice Fish with Garry Cooper.
-
When the heck is sports fishing bc on and what channel? i remember it was on 22 long time ago but i dont see it anymore.
-
Good question Floater. Anybody know ?
-
I used to watch" Fishing with Shelly and Courtney". Actually not a bad show. I'm mostly into catch and release so their obligatory section on the show about how to cook your catch was a waste of time for me, however. But I was glad that they fished, mostly, BC destinations, instead of far-away places like 90% of the fishing shows that are on cable.

I enjoy sportfishing bc, I watched it the other day
-
sportfishing bc over any other show ;). as what fish assasin said, i try to stay away from the gary cooper stuff.
i think he usually has a few beofre each show. he's not all there ::) ::) ::)
-
Why would you guys stay away from Coopers show? I had the chance of fishing next to him last year and also had a couple drinks with him afterwards. He is very knowledgable and a GREAT guy. I have always enjoyed his shows and its nice to know that their are still good guys out there like him. Nice to assume he drinks before filming their Cody. It just shows your age by saying something like that.
Dale9 are you serious? Shelly & Courtney? What a joke of a show. Those girls used guides 99% of the time and even had guides hook fish for them a good portion of the time. I remember one show they were in the Kootneys on pontoons and one of the girls didnt even know how to use the pontoon. That show was on just because of the girls. They spent more time showing how to cook fish than fishing.
A good show with a woman as a host is What a Catch. She doesnt always catch the most fish but she shows how enjoyable it is.

Nothing wrong with Gary Cooper too. He was on some years back as one of the earlier west coast fishing shows ,which was rare then.
It's those guy's laughing and chortling on Dime Store Fishing that grates against my bahoka.

Ummmm Bobo, how can you sit there and basically insult people for not liking a certain show or host but then in the very next paragraph do the same thing and bad mouth Shelley and Courtney and their show???
Who really cares if you've met Coop? The guys were just expressing an opinion on his on-air persoanlity.
Is it just me or does anybody else find Bobo's first two paragraphs hypocritical at best?

Well smartguy if you read my post instead of skimming it you would have probably not said what you said. I never made false accusations like Cody did.I said they used guides most of the time ( not an insult ) I said one could not use a pontoon ( it is true saw it with my own eyes ( also not an insult ) said they spend more time cooking on their show ( also true and also not an insult )If you just have a problem with me, find something better to go after me for than something like this.
Cody claims he drinks before his show. Which is quite the insult and accusation. Bad mouthing is one thing and accusing someone of doing something like drinking before a show is ridiculous. I don't care if people don't like his show thats fine its what Cody said that was upsetting.
Don't ever call me Bobo again.
-
I'll pretty much watch anything as long as it doesn't involve bass, perch, pike or walleye. Canadian sportfishing used to do that all the time and I just got tired of it. As for my favourites, Sportfishing BC with Pendlington, Gary Cooper (I was watching this guy when he first started the fishing diary, and it was very local at the time), Sportfishing on the Fly and Izumi when he goes for salmon on the west coast. Something for variety to spice it up includes some of those programs on TNN where they go for Yellowfin Tuna or Dorado.
-
Ya how could I forget SFOTF great show.
-
Another one thats kind of cooo lis fishing the flats. And of course all the ones that do salmon steelhead.
I can't stand it when they keep switching from colour to black and white and back to colour again.
-
I agree fishing the flats is cool. Can never get enough of the bonefish. Going to fish for them next year myself.

Firstly, I don't have a problem with you Bobo, never have and most likely never will.
All Cody did was express and opinion about Cooper's on air personality. Personally I didn't take his statement as an accusation, just a reflection of what Cody's opinion of what his on-air personality was like. You seemed to take it as an accusation, which is totally fine by me. We can just agree to disagree.
You are a smart guy. Therefore, I assume you know what context means. When you start off a pragraph with ".... are you serious? Shelley and Courtney? What a joke of a show." what sort of tone do you think that sets? Taking your statements in context, all you did was insult the two ladies. (Just as an aside, I believe I saw a show where they went fly fishing but the problem was that they didn't know how to cast)
Whatever, I have fulfilled my 2 posts/month quota now. Respond if you want, spin it any which way you like. I am going into hibernation unless I have a fishing report from a well known location.

I asked you not to call me Bobo as my name is Bryan. It was a joke used on FishBC between friends. Please dont disrespect me.
It is a joke of a show. Its like a publicity stunt. Taking two girls that are not accomplished anglers and giving them their own show is not something I would take seriously.
Gary Cooper has many years of representing the sport and is very accomplished. BTW I was not bragging about meeting him. I have met allot more famous people than him as I worked in the film industry and got to meet a ton but never brag about it. I dont need to brag about meeting people as to me people are people and celebrity status means nothing to me.
-
I like sportfishing bc, and shely and courtneys new one. cant remeber the name buts its good.

DIME STORE FISHERMAN ;D ;D ;D ;D

DIME STORE FISHERMAN ;D ;D ;D ;D

nobody likes my shows...? :-\

nobody likes my shows...? :-\
Add some more special guests. As long as Big Steel is not involved I will watch ;D He will just HAM it up!!! :D
-

Sorry Rod, but if you were fishing for something else other than bass you might have more credability ;D

A good show with a woman as a host is What a Catch. She doesnt always catch the most fish but she shows how enjoyable it is.
Actually, with the exception of maybe a few episodes, Mark Pendlington guides all the time. If these guides weren't used on these shows you wouldnt get that local knowledge that all the regions of BC offers.
As far as sportfishing BC goes, yes it is a good show, but for about one year every episode seemed like it was saltwater flyfishing at places inthe Charlottes. I like a fishing show that goes to places that the average joe can afford to go. I am not willing to fork out the $3000 to $5000 to fish inthe Charlottes for coho. If I had that money I would be walking some flats in belize.
There are some awesome fishing shows inthe states on ESPN2. Also, I liked all the fishing shows they used to play on OLN (Iron Blue Flyfisher etc...). And of course there is SFOTF, probably the best BC fishing show.
-
Fishing the flats. It gets me in vacation mood. ;D
-
Im not really a big fan of the flats becuase I find the little music peice to much and a waste ;D
Sprotfishing B.C is my fav. becuase its the most realistis fishing for me...although not catching as many. ;D
Shelley and courtney show kinda reminds me of that Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie show! ;DSimple Life.
I dont really like a lot of those ontario shows as they are mostly bass fishing and catch like 20 in a day. It just gets kinda of boring.
That pretty much sums me up :D
-
Any old guys remember " Fishing the West " this was the only show I watched. I stay away from the new ones except SFOTF, these guys always end up doing a show from some of my favorite fishing locations.
That was an AWESOME show! I have a few on video tape from the 80s... That one was as close to Sortfishing BC as you could get, just back in that day there was no flyfishing...
I particularly enjoyed Buzz Ramsey fishing the Tillamook River for Steelhead... Magical!
Cheers,
Nicole

I used to watch Henry Wazchuk and Italo Labignan when they were a duo. They were usually pretty informative. Its a shame that they split up. :'( .
Other than that it is usaually Sportfishing BC (even though most are repeats). I will still watch them over and over again. :)
-
I also like Sportfishing BC but it always seems to be a rerun everytime I watch it. :(
-
i like the idea of local guides being promoted through sportsfishing bc, however, mark peddlington (just like courtney and shelley) started his show with minimal fishing experience and its only because of local knowledge that he was able to build his crediblity.
gary cooper regardless of his 'on air' personality has alot of experience not only as a guide, but also years of commercial and recreational angling, prior to his fishing show.
fotf and fishing the flats are awesome.
shows that focus on bass fishing is like watching people fish for ground fish....
boring

Yes, I like that series.
