Structure Fishing!

There are many fishing shows on TV, but NONE of them focus on teaching and educating anglers on how to fish. I follow the teachings of Buck Perry who is known as the Father of modern day fishing. Mr. Perry was the one that coined the words structure, breaks and breaklines.  Structure Fishing TV show will consist of:
  • On the water fishing segment
  • A 4 to 5 minute education segment (The Classroom)
  • A network quality News segment called HLS News
 First season to air on ComCast Sports, Chicago starting in January 2014. 
The first season will consist of (8) episodes. All of the on the water segments have been filmed, and most of the classroom sessions have been filmed.
 A full episode is available to watch above. 
The on the water filming will be:
  • Detroit River (Mi) / White Bass
  • Lake Mendota (Wi)  Northern Pike
  • Lake Petenwell (Wi) Walleye (part of above video) 
  • Lake Mendota (Wi) Smallmouth Bass
  • Lake of Egypt (IL) Largemouth Bass
  • Lake Wisconsin (Wi) Crappies
  • Lake Kinkaid (IL) Muskies
  • Lake Waubesa (Wi) Muskies
The Classroom segments will be:
  • The basic movements of the fish
  • Controls (Depth and Speed)
  • Tools (boats, motors, etc)
  • Weather
  • Structure 1 (part of above video)
  • Structure 2
  • Lure Types
  • Questions you might ask
Show sponsorship is very difficult to obtain, as most sponsors are not willing to sponsor a show on the first season. This show will set a new standard for a fishing shows! I  feel very confident that after the first season airs, word will get out and the show will then be able to air over many additional markets. You can not buy fishing success through a "hot" lure, or the latest equipment. Fishing success is achieved through knowledge and education. As Buck Perry would often say, "Knowledge is the key to fishing success". 
 I have absorbed all of the costs associated for production and filming. All of the funds raised will be used to obtain the airtime only. The show will air on ComCast Sports, Chicago and will air mid mornings on  the 1st Saturday in January, for (8) consecutive weeks. 
If any additional funding is received, it will be used to obtain airtime in additional markets. 
I have no doubt that Structure Fishing show will "raise the bar" and set a new standard among fishing shows. Knowledge is the key to fishing success. Thank you for helping me educate and teach anglers successful fishing.
