Hi All! After taking some time off and changing j

Yeah, I think that is what has gone to the backseat on the current format of the show. Not enough time is spent teaching about the sport and so growing the interest in it. I love the tacklebox section, but it helps nothing if I dont know how, why and where to fish it.
If I have to be honest, its all just a little bit to "flashy" for me at the moment. I say flashy cause most of the time only "celebs" seem to be invited to join the anglers.
The show needs more up and coming anglers to be invited. Provincial Jnr's maybe. The younger guys who are doing well could stand to benifit on a huge skale if only given the chance on this broad format. Im talking sponsorships. I know there are some jnr's on the show now, but to be fair, they are the children of the current Chairman of ESA. Does that really count? Im sure they are great kids though.
Anyway, enough ranting from me. I hope things get to change in the near future. I certainly enjoyed it while it was good.

Right guys who is going to be watching ESA tomorrow night, with Glen the King Pin??
Still trying to figure out what he would know about fishing and water pollution?
Kind of gives me the impression they taking the Howard Stern approach to the show.
( that being when Howard Stern was at his peek on radio in America they found that the average person that liked him listened to the show for 30min but the average person that hated him listened for 2 hours.)
My point being maybe they think if the get a high profiled person like that on the show everybody will watch even the people that disapprove just so they can moan.
what you think?

You will be missed bra Rob! I hope to spot you on a patch of water some time soon!
Dumb move on their part. They even went as far as to defend what they have done saying that they only used him since he is a resident. Ok, so is he the only guy that lives at Harties, no but he is the only one "flashy" enough. Exactly what I said in my previous post. Its all about sensation, and not the kind you get when you hook a Big Dawg!
Im by no means a ninny that cries and rants about stuff. Im accually a really chill guy, but when a show like ESA knowingly associate themselves with CONVICTED criminals like this guy, well then I kinda lose my chilled nature. Hugely dissappointed!

South African politics is very simple when you have all the facts …
Zuma and Shaik exchanged encypted faxes and cheques. Ngcuka investigated Shaik and Zuma. Shaik went to jail. Ngcuka resigned. Mbeki replaced Ngcuka with Pikoli. Ngcuka went into business. Mbeki appointed Mrs Ngcuka as his vice-president. Mrs Ngcuka was placed in charge of infrastructure spending. Ngcuka became chairman of a construction company. Pikoli investigated Zuma. Zuma ran for President. Selebi did not investigate Zuma. Agliotti bought Selebi a very expensive shirt. Selebi did not investigate Agliotti. Kebble funded the ANC. Masethla got a fax from someone. Mbeki fired Masethla. Zuma and Masethla become friends. Kebble was killed and Pikoli arrested Agliotti. Agliotti phoned Selebi because they were friends. Pikoli investigated Selebi. Mbeki stood by Selebi. Masethla went to court. Mbeki ran for president. Selebi continued to wear Aigner shirts. Pikoli obtained a warrant for the arrest of Selebi*. Mbeki suspended Pikoli. The Scorpions case against Selebi was placed under review...

I did watch it and your statement on the ESA website a couple of weeks back was totally wrong according to the show. You said it was a conservation show but how can this be if only a total of 7 minutes were dedicated to conservation and the rest showing one of the most hated people in SA swinging a bass rod.
Firstly you guys try and defend somebody that has destroyed thousands of lives in South Africa. Then he has the nerve to make a statement about a poor little child that lives next to the dam. Maybe he should have thought about the life’s he destroyed with the drugs or the people he has murdered.
