Cudz Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I love wfn but I have a real hard time watching any BC salmon show where they are downrigging with those mooching reels. I can't stand the clicking noise of those reels and they reel like mad forever and the line barely comes in. I change the channel everytime. I could mute it but I can't be bothered. I would rather watch some British dude catching chub on 'boileys??' than hear those mooching reels. Love the saltwater shows especially going for the big stuff. Now I don't mind hearing those big level wind reels. Weird. Likes: Any bass show All the saltwater shows Musky shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I do the same thing when any of those ultra boring bass shows come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Unless I happen to catch Mark Krupa's Labrador Brook Trout episode in HD for the 20th time, I don't watch any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ya, I get sick of them all. I don't even tune into anything bass. I've been watching the fishing adventurer on travel and escape channel. No adds, just a guy who fishes some cool places for all different kinds of fish. Even the commercials a bad on wfn. S.

lew Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I watch Musky Hunter, but other than that I never turn on WFN Far too much pushing of sponsors products for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 . I don't even tune into anything bass. . I get the impression you need a Southern drawl to catch big bass!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Some of the shows I like, some I tolerate and many are not for me. Different strokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I generally don't mind most of the shows. I tune out the marketing side and try to enjoy the fish and the scenery. What DOES drive me nuts is when a show insults what fishing intelligence I do have. You have a new plastic bait you want to push? Great. Don't do it on Lake Beauchene and spend 30 mins telling me the success rate is all about the bait. Last week we had a guy in northern Saskachewan casting a spoon for pike and shamelessly pushing how amazing the spoon was. Really? Tie on a 40 year old red devil, the results will be the same. We're not marine biologists but we're far from stupid. If they want to shoot shows there, I get it. Lots of fish = good show. But giving ALL the credit to the marketing subject of the day is irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's rare that I find a fishing show worth watching.Sometimes I tune in if they are fishing a lake I know, or would like to learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I like most of them,least favorite, bass tournament,Don't know why,love catching them.

moxie Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Got my fill as well, especially now that spring seems to have finally sprung. I would like to thank Rogers Media and all associated sponsors for their work and tireless efforts in trying to suck me in. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

lookinforwalleye Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Watching it now because its a brookie show and I always wanted to do a brookie trip, but I would agree a lot of the stuff is not worth the time! And the commercials.....Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDigits Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I agree with Cudz on all points here. Despite the nice scenery and fairly good production value, the show that you refer to is just painfully boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radnine Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Do you think that, like in many things these days, we have evolved or out grown fishing shows? I mean there was a time when fishing shows and magazines were the only way to get information (and places like the Sportsman Show), now you can click on any website and see what things are like at a particular lodge for instance, rather than hoping that they replay that specific episode of Fish'n Canada. Also, we used to look forward to a Saturday morning fishing show line up and now can watch any episode at any time on any of a bazillion websites that host outdoor shows. Face it boys, we've plum grow'd up! Jim Edited March 31, 2013 by Radnine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabluz Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm an older guy. I have seen so many fishing shows that I rarely look at them any more. The same for fishing magazines because I read just about everything that there was to read during the 60's, 70's and 80's. Now a days, just the few of the fishing articles that I read in the magazines at the doctor's or dentist's office are enough to keep me informed of anything new. I do like to see fly fishing and fly tying shows but I would surely get bored easy enough if I ever see too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbait22 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Two thumbs up for the Fishing Adventurer. He doesn't talk about "products" at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I don't think we've out grown fishing shows, we just need shows that are average joe fisherman doing their thing. I enjoy watching shows from new areas, and love the saltwater shows, but the bass stuff drives me nuts. The fishing adventurer, fishn canada, adventures north, and the musky hunter are the only ones I really "try" to tune into. I'll watch bob izumi if he's on and not bass fishing too. The spin on travel that the fishing adventurer has taken is a great idea, and makes for a great show IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
