I'm getting fed up of switching the box on each morning to find the same old cycle of Matt Hayes, John Wilson, Rex Hunt and Nick (I actually know bugger all about fishing) Fisher on the box. The only solace is when they occasionally show repeats of Henry's programs.

When will they realise that thousands of people sea fish as well as coarse fish, but we seem to be ignored. Surely it would not cost the earth to produce a series with a sea expert (Mike Thrussell, Steve Allmark etc.).

Perhaps it could be a series where they visit a different area of the UK each week, targeting different species. I'm sure everyone on here would watch that.

Does anyone think that they will take any notice of viewers requests for these types of program, or are they only interested in programs where they can just whack an old DVD in, sit back and keep on charging us X amount to watch the same stuff each week.

Not much chance of that...I had to work with the bu££er to get across the info that i wanted to impart in the early 90's. I now have rather more influence in these matters.

bang on mate,each to there own i guess,but your right every program with the odd exception caters for puddle fishing,perhaps there not up to standing on a exposed coastline all day or night.!!

I put a post on here last year regarding a sea fishing expert fishing different areas of England with a novice angler of the region. I even e-mailed a television company that makes fishing programmes and was told they only produce what discovery wants made. so i emailed discovery channel and never got a reply. i also e-mailed mel Russ at sea angler without any reply.

submit a request to sky, there was an advert with them a while back asking people did they want to appear in programmes about their hobbies/pastimes themselves, you never know.

 

[solehunter]

I agree. The ratio between the ditch danglers programs and sea fishing ones are pitiful.

What I personally would like to see is a Sea Fishing Program, Runtime half an hour. With more emphasis on General Shore Angling... I'd be happy enough to watch Steve Allmark haul dabs all day long.
