Guys,

I have been priveledged to have fished with Mark, Wes and Ray... They were all very good anglers, and I rate Craig and Dean up there with them also... They have been invited to come down and catch some tuna with me this season, and hopefully we can make a plan...

What we all need to remember is that we all have different tastes in what we want to see in the show... Having fished for nearly 30 yrs myself, I also was not so keen to see the tackleside... Then i sat back and thought of all the novices who probablygained so much out of those tackle tips... We need to all remember that we were all novices at some point and all needed those tackle tips to get us going...

I will openly admit that I was a big critic of Craig at first, having got used to Mark and Wesleys styles of fishing and shows... Buy with time I have grown a great appreciation for his OSSA clips in the show... Craig and the guys are listening to what the viewers want and are giving us the variety... Keep up the good work, and lets hope that the show will grow from strength to strength...

Just on a weekend away with some mates....Took my boat to Makakatane but its in a sad state....Charters is just a massive sand flat and once you get to the water its ankle deep for as far as one can walk....really sad to see such a beautiful and productive system dissappearing before our eyes

Hi Rory! Cause some people think they are too "clever" Where people are in charge of nature there is always problems.How many dead kob and fish  was found in the upper river? a Few years from now all the saltwater fish will die due to the fresh water.Our friends in green like to change stuff that worked for years.

When I started fishing offshore.My info was from google search,books,mag and paying charters to see how it is done.Why must we still see how it is done were the new guy can sit down and watch it on TV.You guys that is  fishing for years,how did you master the sport - TV,books,charters,mag,tackle shop or your great great grandfather was offshore legend? Why must the show repeat it self for new guys when it was showed before? I realy think the tackle box must change to rig's used.Most of us fish with shimano,daiwa,okumo ect.I know ESA tackle is Daiwa but only some people buy what they like or can afford.

Show - Fishing & Locations

Mag - Traces & gear (will sell more mag)

Graig - I realy have nothing against you! The newbie must start enjoying his sport & start looking for info! I cant wait for 8'oclock on Thursday's for some real action.

Anyone can be an ESA presenter from there living room, however when the camera is on and the fish are not around i presume its quite a different story....awesome work mate...look forward to the next show!!!

The last couple of shows showing the traces that ESA uses has been a huge help to me. Greatly appreciated. I have even locked those specific episodes on the PVR so that the kids dont delete it.

FFS leave the guy's alone.

I for one am dissappointed in myself for missing the show. I have been fishing since I was knee high to a grashopper my son, a young gentleman now, is an avid angler as well. His first fish before he could talk.

I do not considder myself as a boffin and realise that the day I say that I can no longer learn from others is the day I pack up and leave.

So for one I would be extremely greatfull if I was awarded the opportunity to see the show and even its repeat twice over. Please let me know when they will be screening again.

The one thing wrong with some disciplines is the reluctance of the Uber blokes to share information and technique. I can assure you that the angler that states that he is so sure of his style that he no longer needs to listen to other sportsmen is bluffing himself.

Some of my best experiences have been the times that I have learnt something new and can recall most of the people who imparted their wisdom to me.

Rant and Rave mode off

I enjoyed tonights show and am glad the weights estimated the last couple shows are more realistic. Yes, i had mentioned it in a previous post. :)

Well done Craig, on your first 'doggy'. And to the rest of the team... Thumbs up
