frodobuggins Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 This show has to be the worst outdoor program i have ever seen. Does he do anything other than Troll for salmon/trout in the niagara region? To be fair, i did see him on St Clair (trolling, of course) for musky/walleye. Question: Does Charlie Wray know how to CAST? You know its a bad when on a Saturday in the middle of winter and you turn off a fishing show.

Fisherman Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Some people just troll.. in more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodobuggins Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Its a serious comment on a televison program. If there is more than one way to troll, you can bet Charlie Wray knows how to do it. Its a running joke amongst my friends. Goes like this.."Charlie Wray coming on, casting this episode or not?"

ch312 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I haven't a clue why this reminded me, but what's the name of that old show where they'd always have the underwater camera while trolling. Now THAT was a cool show about trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinmortician Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I enjoy Charlie wray a lot more than fishing canada. At least he doesn't have 18 minutes of commercials in a 30 minute slot. He also fishes more on his own rather than rely on a guides knowledge.

Ralph Field Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I saw an episode where he was casting for pike. Trolling motor must have been in the shop that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I like him... I think he's got a good show.... And he does casting shows.... But in reality some anglers are almost exclusively trollers.... Like myself... So I enjoy his program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish he would diversify his programming a bit. I dont mind Fishin Canada now that Reno is gone.

Muskieman Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Charlie has an informative show, nothing wrong with trolling ( for fish ) , I find his show to be a whole lote better than some on WFN... a few shows from the 80's come to mind... no names ,but I was stalked and trolled here at OFC on Facebook ,YouTube and by web-mail by an ex fishing show host a few years back , because of a few observations I made about him.

Jer Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have seen an episode with him casting for musky on Pigeon & Buckhorn...once...LOL I enjoy Charlie wray a lot more than fishing canada. At least he doesn't have 18 minutes of commercials in a 30 minute slot. He also fishes more on his own rather than rely on a guides knowledge. Sometimes Charlie's show is nothing but a half hour commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mills Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Agree about the trolling but I like the fact that Charlie will take the time to explain the technical aspects of how he is fishing. Most fishing shows are either guided fishing days with the local expert or fishing at remote lodges with minimal pressure. I prefer the episodes when a show/host fishes local places that are accessable to the average person. Italo doea a nice job of mixing in some episodes like this. Fishing the lower Niagara from shore, 18 mile , kayaking the lower Grand etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frodobuggins Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Note ; MANY ! TV hosts are members of this forum and are active, maybe even Charlie ... Thats fine. I dont have a fishing show, so he's doing better than me there. If he's unhappy we can do a troll-off somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
