outandabout 373 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 All of the above. A series called "Giant Blacks and Great Whites" with Malcolm Florence was pretty good for its time too. Just google Malcolm Florence fishing Heaps of clips on YouTube with him in Dad 25 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 The best I got was the Leyland Brothers, and those blokes couldn't fish for shit. Having said that, Harry Butler and Malcolm Douglas knew a thing or two, not forgetting Bush Tucker Man, Les Hiddins a few years later. Alby Mangels knew bugger all about the Australian bush or wildlife, his show was only good for perving on the babes he used to take on his adventures, which were mostly overseas. These days we are spoilt rotten for fishing and wildlife shows. Cal and Dad 25 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad 25 123 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thank's outandabout , Just watched some Malcolm Florence . I forgot about the Leyland brothers Tinker ,Used to watch them religiously like most aussie's , Alby Mangels wasn't a fishing show as such more of an Ocean Vagabond type deal . Most of the current crop of fishing shows seem to all be in Pt Philip bay or some exotic fishing destination that most couldn't afford to do , so I watch a lot of youtube home fishing video's that people put up or older stuff . outandabout and Tinker 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mickyj 3,204 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think I watched most of them River cottage in England showed things of growing your own eating wild food . But they had shows on catching imported things like yabbies crawfish from the states . And hanging road kill in pots for eels and road kill over bridges with maggots falling in then using them for bait to land trout . He did a show on wild food and food from bins also an SAS and Hugh also did a show each on catching squirrels eating them on sticks yuk . River cottage Australia the guy has caught fish once or twice last week Trout and one had eggs so they ate trout cavier . Not quite fishing shows Oh I forgot the name I watched a fishing show that was like a quiz travelled to different countries and one a week was voted off . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
