I watch the JIM SAMMONS show, I've seen about 10 of the shows and it's mostly lakes & streams I was hoping for more of his ocean explorations. I think out of those 10 only one had ocean fishing. But way to many commercials.

I like Jim though so I will continue to watch it. Lot's of good info.

I don't think it works well with mackerel, but I have rigged ballyhoo a bunch. The key elements are a swivel 3-5' from the hook, a ringed hook and the techniques used to rig the ballyhoo itself.

Run your finger and thumb down the belly several times to squeeze all the feces/excrement out, thoroughly break the back by bending it it rather firmly at many points from behind the gills to the tail, bend it in a wave like motion until it is very flimsy, stuff a one ounce sinker and tie in place by crisscrossing under the gills (I always used dental floss but there is fancy stuff specifically for it) and away you go.

I am sure there are youtube videos for it. I don't think mackerel will work as well. Lots of people still just bimini-twist their leader to main line and straight hook, rather than ring hook and swivel though.

Maybe I will dust off my GoPro and make a video next time I go Marlin fishing and actually rig some.

Loved it! What's not too...catching big fish, new technics, beautiful scenery. I take the show with a grain of salt on the action/cut in shots but besides that - it gives me motivation to get out there a catch something big and if I do how these guys get them into there kayaks is informative, also.

I liked it, 4 y/o daughter liked it..I understand some of the editing was booty but I'll take this show over any other show on T.V. right now...who we kidding, I'm sure all of us would rather be on the water...but this will tide me over in the meantime.:cheers1:

:cheers1: Agreed Geno!

Ro1 and son Ro2 liked it
So Ro12 will keep watching for now

Is Kimi in a Scrambler or a Trident......com on editors! The narrator is starting to come off like what a good Southpark satire would sound like.........still watching. Last night's show was just OK. Jon Jon should have pulled out a grenade!

Way better than Naked and afraid that show grosses me out...don't see what people see in naked people suffering in a swamp or ect...ect..especially when I sit down eat dinner in front of the TV

SoCal needs to be represented!

Hey bro....I'm not gonna tell you again...you can't fish here...

You got 10 minutes to pack up your shit and leave....or else!

The "brotherhood" is way over played and turns my stomach - I would of dropped him...Try that at LJ..

And a 35 pound Ono that she easily threw aboard.. Hmmm

Oh yeah...how about, 15 pound dorado.....cha ching! $100 bucks...


Yeah right....!

You sure they weren't in Malibu?

I heard the Malibu crew is working on a show deal........with the 1 condition, just can't air the catches for 3 years:D

Hahahahahahaha.......good one iceman! !!!

Those braddahs must be cracking up right now hurricane popcorn in hand. :D

I needed a good laugh today !! And after 3 years don't forget you still can't mention the word Malibu..

That's some straight out BS.. I'm sure if the guy wasn't 6'2 300 pounds he would not have the balls to tell a little guy to leave..

Still fun to watch but...What's with the editing on the rods & reels??? Show him cranking on a conventional and then a coffee grinder...figure it out.

And then he rolls his kayak in bumpy water, apparently sharks all around, and then climbs aboard and it's glassy and no sharks anywhere.

It's a low budget reality show with all these clip chop and put together. I saw the same thing, just like you guys, at one moment you see the coffee grinder scream and then you see the conventional reel on the fish. :confused:

Yeah.... But
 

I just want a show that focuses more on the fishing, bait options bait choice, where and how to find themWhat tackle do you use when you have one type versus another.explain hook sizes, line sizes and brands. Rod reels. Kayak accessories, the list goes on.they just go straight into character development; this guy is the cool old timer, this guy is the new hothead, how will they fish these waters together and educate poeople on their techniques and gear.

I'm sure the producers are filling it with drama to attract the viewers, they could care less about hook sizes and bait options.

Shows like this (reality) are the reason that I stopped watching TV years ago.
I'm not bagging on this particular show because I've never seen it but I believe that "reality" shows contribute to the dummying down of society .
Just my opinion but reality shows are basically all the same from The Real Housewives of wherever to Honey Boo Boo. I've never seen an episode of the Kardashians and feel more intelligent because of that and I sure as hell won't pay a cable company so they can continue to produce more trash and sudo "celebrities".

P.T. Barnum said it best,
"If you want to shoot for the masses, aim low"

When I need my fix of REAL fishing video I just watch the posted stuff here on BWE.

:cheers1: I could not agree more!

You want reality...come to BWE :luxhello:

That whole scene with Rob and Jon Jon...., what the hell was all that about? So these guys, (Rob and Andy) 'own' the waters and specific spots? Get real. That really gives the sport and us kayak fisherman a black eye. I know that's it just a TV show and that they need to have 'conflict' in it so that people will want to watch, but that was a bit over the top. Jon Jon should have just gone out anyway and told them to get lost.

Oh, by the way...., I now claim the fishing rights to all of Newport Harbor. Anyone who wants to fish there has to check with me and get my permission first! Rob need not apply....

UPDATE to last post...

I just watched the show online up to the part where the guy jumps in the water to untangle his rudder and that was more than enough for me.

Gotta ask... Who does that guy who was training the new guy think he is by having him carry rocks? Mister freakin Miyagi? LOL
I'm sure that I wasn't the only one who noticed that while this guy was taking the new guy to what they say is a such a dangerous area, the new guy was paddling with his paddle upside down. LOL.
What a joke!!!

Editing gets a C- at best.
Side note... From what I hear the Vanilla Ice Home improvement reality show editing gets a B-.

I think I heard "Bro" enough, thank you.

Had to laugh when the guy lost the Tuna right after he thanked God for allowing him to catch it. LMFAO!!!
Makes it look as if God doesn't like the show either.

I was also wondering that if the only reason the two guys fished was to sell their catch why they wouldn't just buy a boat. I'm sure they could make a better living with a skiff.

ANYWAY.....
I really did try to watch with an open mind but like I said before, reality TV is not for me.

It's not a fishing show, it's about the men - the Pacific Warriors. It will never be a fishing show.

Mike, why would you lump this in with Honey Boo Boo without ever watching it? Read the backstories. These guys aren't even what we think of as kayak fishermen here. Some are paying respect to the gods and their ancestors way of life and protecting their ancient fishing community waters. Once you get that part then the show becomes better, even with the editing flaws.

There's no drama here




















Que popcorn

Exactly,lol new show BWE " men in little plastic boats"

If I had a nickel for every time a coworker asked me,

Hey, have you seen that show......



I'd have $1.00 +/- 2 nickels





The best one was,

Hey, have you seen that show where they fish on those canoes like the one you got

It would be like Gold Rush going after the gold panning demographic :D

I gave it a second chance to be a fishing show and it failed miserably.

Expecting this to be a fishing show is like expecting the real housewife shows to be about housewife stuff 😊...

It would be to boring.. Side bet on who gets Kimmi prego first and when Rob turns out to be really Rachel in season 3...

I wish some of your fishing reports were as long winded as your opinions of a cable tv show..... Just impressive

Me?

No

And how many fish reports have you posted?

I post a report when it's beneficial to everyone, but they'll sound a lot like.... "There I was watching everyone else slaying them...."

Sounds like my last 15 trips
