How We Fish

[Dave Burr]

I like books written with passion and not just to cash in on a TV program. I'll pass on this one.

[RBTraditional]

What about this one Dave?…this was a TV series

[Dave Burr]

That was from a time when such programs were like rocking horse poo and it was interesting to see behind the scenes. But I only read it once.

Nowadays, the minute something grabs it's five minutes of fame a book appears, followed by biographies and more. If that's your thing then go with it but there can be little left to, report on these people and do they need the extra cash?

Surely we should embrace anything on TV or indeed book wise which brings our wonderful sport to a wider audience and sets the tone which shows that friendship and spending time in the countryside is a hell of a lot more important than actually catching fish…?
A far as I know both Paul and Bob are both wealthy men, they’ve worked hard for it over the years making us laugh and I for one don’t begrudge them a penny…

Does that include programmes with Ali Hamidi in?

I can't watch Mr Hamidi... too manic for my tastes

Dave I didn’t know who Mr Hamidi was, I had to look him up on google….he was “fishing” (I use the term loosely) with well known former West Ham legend Bobby Zamora…

Do try to catch their program Rob, I think you'll like him, he's so personable and understated.

John Bailey has written or co-written over 60 books on fishing…

Top marks for staying power

[Carl Hier]

In my younger years, I read many great books by John Bailey which enhanced my love of all things fishing. I also struggle with Mr. Hamidi but quite enjoy the Mortimer & Whitehouse programmes. I just see it as two blokes talking about ‘life’ with a sprinkling of fishing in the background. Consequently I’ve never really scrutinised it’s content or marked it out of ten. It’s just been 30 minutes of enjoyable telly every now and then .
