Sorry if this is a repeat, I just realized my date on my computer was on
2002 when I could not see my original post.

I recently caught a show done by Roland Martin's son Scott and it sucked.
Also there was a show with this fat guy, I think it was "Bass Fishing
University" or something and that show sucked too. I hate the shows where
all they do is land little fish, talk about how big they are and barrage you
with commercials. I can stand some of that if they show you some new
methods or try to share information (like Bill Dance does). If I learn
something I'm OK with the show but if it's just a big promo for their
sponsors I don't like that at all.

There's a show in NJ done by these two guys who are editors of NJ Angler
Magazine and they generally do an excellent job. It's a sal****er show but
they're always giving details about the how, where and what, and they also
land some nice fish. their names are Darren Doris and Bill Donovan. Every
show gives some information about fishing for different species of fish in
the waters around NJ but much of it can be applied up and down the coast. I
use some of the same techniques for stripers and blues (the bluefish episode
could have been filmed on my boat, I even use the same topwater plug they
were using - a chug bug).

Here's a link to their show, you can watch them right online.

Hope you enjoy. And I will find the time to check out Steve's show very
soon.
