Sorry to disappoint you, Chad, I have never belonged to any other fishing forum. I live in Hastings, very near the town centre and I am quite familiar with local beaches.
I find it quite amazing that honest critique of a television programmes should be such an emotive subject, but it seems from other replies I am far from alone.
I like the idea of making my own fishing programme and by some strange coincidence I have a very keen interest in photography.
Chad, nice to see the little smiley in your post, an exchange of ideas with humour is far more constructive, and at can times actually achieve things.
James, constructive criticism is not whingeing, it's the catalyst of how improvements are made. A quick question for you: If the quality of the angling programmes on television improved, would you be pleased or complain?
Seems like a good Pania competition over the weekend, well done to all concerned.
