We had a thread like this about 1 year ago. I won't say the same thing about Bill Dance as I did last year. I nearly got killed by a lot of folks. I like him as a person. He is funny even if some of those stunts are staged. It is a shame that he doesn't take all those products that he is pushing and fish a real lake instead of private ponds with monster bass that nobody else can fish. I suspect that he would have different results if he did. He is a good fisherman though and very entertaining.
My favorite fishing show is The Angling Edge because the Lindner boys fish for every species of fish and every type of water. They give great how-to techniques. I always come away from one of those shows with ideas that I can apply to our fishing lakes. Since I am not married to bass fishing anymore, I really appreciate a show that devotes a lot of time to crappie, bluegill, catfishing, walleyes, pike, as well as bass.
The In-Fisherman show is a lot like The Angling Edge. I suppose it is because Al and Ron Lindner used to either own In-fisherman or were very important to it. I don't know why the Lindner's left In-Fisherman but they left shortly after Dan Sura either got fired or quit. Now Dan Sura does some shows on the Angling Edge. I don't know if there is a connection there or not.
I watch most of the fishing shows when I have time. I would like to make some short videos of dock shooting techniques, bluff fishing stuff and other technique related material. If I could do it without giving away somebody's "secret" hole, I would do it. emoBigsmile emoGeezer
