Australian Fishing Shows on the World Fishing Network

I see from my web site stats that I have a few visitors from Australia. Drop me a line and say G’day and maybe give me the low-down on those Barramundi. Now that’s a fish!

Australian Fishing Shows

Thanks to the World Fishing Network, I’ve been watching a lot of Australian fishing shows lately. Some are really great. All are certainly interesting. There is a guy called Rex Hunt who was a sports star in his younger days I think. He is all about personality, right down to kissing the fish before he releases it. One of the good ones is Escape with ET. Another Australian sports star but likeable and he fishes in interesting spots for fish that would scare us back here in Canada. The Australian Fishing Championship is a hoot as these guys go after Bream and Australian Bass. Each team is made up of one Bass specialist and one Bream specialist. The four teams go head to head each week. Fish’n 4 Wheels is interesting in that you see a lot of the amazing country as well as the fishing but my hands down favourite is Hooked on Adventure with Steve and Bushy. Bushy’s web site. These guys are the kind of people you would enjoy fishing with any time, any where. The shows sure make me want to visit Australia.

From the United Kingdom

The only show from England I get to see is Fish’O Mania. It’s billed as the United Kingdom’s largest fishing tournament. Sixteen competitors spaced around this smallish lake fishing for Carp and the like, under a time limit. The catches are weighed in regularly through out the day. Very different from any fishing I’ve ever done or seen. Slow paced but captivating.
