And the other way of looking at it, venue exclusive, act as you like, who gives 2 hoots as to what others think as long as fish welfare is paramount...or is it me?

Carp fishing isn't the same as it used to be, put your value on that, no doubt in the interests of commercial fisheries some relevance will be imbibed to some new 'target' and it's values.
Meanwhile those who love angling will 'just carry on'.

Because its not a hobby to them, its a job. Wouldn't want the circus that surrounds them anywhere near my water, neither would the members.

Fully agree. What's wrong with carp fishing is that everybody has some opinion that what others are doing isn't carp fishing. People go for various reasons so let's all just continue to do it for why we personally enjoy it and not worry about what everyone else says.

Exactly! There's always someone moaning about something or being negative

Is it my ideal type of fishing? No! Do I find it entertaining? Yes!

Thankfully, there is something to watch on TV that is carp fishing related. To those who disagree with Ali's personality, the fishing approach or anything else, what would you want to see? How do you want it presenting?

Oh wait! They won't answer with proposed solutions, they'll just come up with problems and moan about it

Just be thankful that Korda are making TV programmes related to carp fishing and enjoy it.

I will start off by saying that I don't know any of the Korda boys. But I do fish the same waters as many of them, and a good deal of other tackle industry related people and so called names. So I don't think it's fair if I don't give the other side of the argument. I've fished on the same waters as these guys for a long time, some of them nearly twenty years. You know what, I've never had an issue with a single one of them, and I don't know anyone else who has either. But I do know they have been extremely generous in organising prizes for the various charity raffles we hold etc etc.

I think it's important that you don't confuse their TV persona with their actual real life personalities whilst they are fishing. Far from not wanting them on my waters, in fact I'd have no issues at all, simply because they all just want to be left alone to quietly enjoy a bit of fishing without getting hassled or having a camera shoved in their face.

what the hell gives you that idea ?

and WTF exactly is wrong if you think the guy is a gigantic cock in saying so ?
I think Tom Dove or Spooner are a 100 times more watchable and are far better

ESPECIALLY when the dwarf thinks he is a tv presenter with his silly dramatic voice and as someone says whats with all the kissing ? whats up with a high 5 or a fist bump he just makes me press the mute button when he opens his gob

Yes it's great that korda put up the investment to put a fishing program on mainstream tv.
If you want an improvement. Get rid of Mr hamidi and replace him with mr fairbrass. That's not going to happen unfortunately. I've nothing against Mr hamidi other than his on screen presence which grates my gears. There are no doubt others who find him very appealing. Sadly I'm not one of them.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
