What's your favourite commercial fishing show? I know we would all vote for Reelfish TV as number one, but what about the others?

List why below.

example...

Show: Ifish

Positives:
Paul is a goose, so the kids will watch it with me.

Negatives:
Paul is a goose so he's annoying.

for me, I watch them all but I do like Lee Raynor on Adventure Bound the best, though a little too Victorian focused.
Whilst Steve Corriea is a bit of a goose I do like how he does plenty of land-based local stuff and is willing to broadcast the reality of not catching much some shows. Most of the big budget shows won't do that, they'll keep hitting the water till they can show you a hot bite and how easy it is. Therefore, sell more tackle.

Thread Hijacker,

I Find with most fishing shows these days they are ramm there products down your throat kinda tv, i understand major sponsors and all that stuff dont get me wrong, but i really think they need to lay off the force feeding, its made me stop watching fishing shows I love Adventure Bound with Lee Rayner and also Scott Grey is from down my neck of the woods

BUT
My vote is for YouFishTV - Brendan Wing
Yes he is a Shimmano sponsored fisherman, From Victoria
but he does not force feed you products like 95% of fishing shows
if you haven't seen any of his stuff here is a few video

This is true and he is a bit of an idiot, but he never pretends he knows it all, explains stuff fairly well and makes it an adventure.
Oh its on!

He is there... Extreme Fishing (with Robson Goose)

I don't mind him as well, he doesn't ram home tackle sponsors and he doesn't pretend he;s and expert. Plus my wife will watch it sometimes which says that he appeals to people not really interested in fishing.

I hear what your saying with the tackle ramming, it kinda gets annoying. But they have to have sponsors, I personally feel that the reasons Bloowater Tackle is such a rip-off is because they have to sponsor the ifish program's trips, boats and production costs. (or simply the 5 guys per shop that have 'working' in there putting away stock and ignoring the customers - LOL)

Come on vote people!

Thats an interesting show there Lefty.
I love all the fishing shows. I watch whatever is on. Adventure bound would be my fav show i guess, but the hook line and sinker guys are funny as hell.

The best presented is Adventure bound but I like Fishing addiction for how they take people out fishing and give them plenty of gear. Good concept.

I used to watch Fishing WA and bought series 1-6 and rewatch them quite often...Lost interest when the changed hosts, not a fan of Jacko and Nicko, but just watched the new episode the other day and Ryan Thipthorp is back on it....
Been watching The Water with Steve Corriea which I think is good but also like Robson Green.....

not really a fan of any of the fishing shows, with the exeption of Adventure Bound.

The whole catch and release everything thats caught thing really bugs me, Id rather see them neck a few good fish then hving the presenters hold them up for the camera for ages spouting on about the latest product they are using or how magnificant the fish is.

Adventure Bound, very informative.

Robson Goose is an honest character aswell, calls it at it is, No Bullsh1ting.
Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour. Teach him to brew and he'll waste a lifetime.
