610 Sports Fishing Show

[BOI]

Been listening since Stevenson Sr started the show. Sometimes have good usefull info. Somtimes get off fishin and huntin topics and can be boring. An regular hourly recap of whats biting, where on what would be nice. A twice hourly weather update even better. Bob Jr. or Captain Wayne or maybe another host use to do regularly. I think somtimes hosts lose sight that they should be reporters as well as commentators. Still best outdoor show in country.

Is he a radio personality that happens to fish, or is he a fisherman on the radio? It appears the latter. If we keep that in mind, I would put more responsibility on the producer and/or program director to give Capt. Mickey some direction. The man has obviously forgotten more about fishing in the last couple days than I will ever know in a lifetime. It doesn't mean that he knows what should or should not be disussed on the air. I too find myself just zoning out to his show at times. Some guides are better guests than others.

Some guide: "Well Mickey, last weekend I took Bob and his two sons out to West Bay. Everyone got a limit. I really put them on the fish. Great times had by all. Say, did you see that funny thing at that local business? Ya, I saw it too."

Capt. Mickey: "Alright Captain Whoever, why don't you give us your info so that folks can get in touch with you if they want to catch fish."

Yup, that was informative. May I have that 10 minutes back? Certainly not all guides are like this. I have heard several that discussed information that helped me catch fish that day, such as technique or how to find a good location. That's good radio.

This thread seems similar to the whole "fishing report" debate. Should we give spots away? Technique? Lures? Anything other than a picture? If I were Capt. Mickey's Producer/PD, I would literally hop on 2cool and this site and just find the most popular threads. Then have Mickey give his take and take callers. "braid vs mono", "favorite color plastics", "essentials of the wading tackle box", etc. When the guides call in to do their thing, make sure they hit on the topic.

Like I said previoulsy " just my opinion didnt want to start a war". Computers have a way of making people 10 foot tall and made of steel.......

I'm 5 foot 10 inches steel I'm not... And I do not listen to a radio show to learn to fish... over & out X2

... And I do not listen to a radio show to learn to fish...

I'll take fishing knowledge wherever I can get it. Internet? Sure. Radio? You bet. Hobo with a stick and used twine from Home Depot and a stringer of fish over his shoulder? I'd be a fool not to ask a question or two.

If you don't like it, don't listen. I agree with buoy about the old slow talking bass guides but everyone can call and every time I have called, I was on the show. It's not just the guides who get put on the air. Hey IMO, he's a badass.

[aqua pimp]

I use to listen to it back in the 90's and every once in a while now. I like music to get me going in the morning over talk radio. But to me it has gotten kinda of boring for me. Its mostly the same guides day in and day out. I think they ought to bring in some new meat. I do like Mike Williams though, that dude cracks me up LOL.

Mike Williams and his stories are hillarious!!!

[Gulfcoast13]

I hate everyone.

[H.Maier]

I generally wake up to take my 4 a.m. bathroom visit. Turn the program on, pizz off Cuddles, and the old man from lake Livingston comes on to talk 15 minutes about what could be said in 5, puts me right back to zzzzzzzz.

[Curmudgeon]

I hate everyone.

Right there with ya bud.

I have a Mike story that isn't hilalarious and I'll just leave it at that! The show is so so for me. I listen from time to time, and Mickey is good enough, but it needs a format change or something(although I have no clue what). And... I agree with Greg...give me some AC/DC blasting and that'll get me jacked and more fish than the info I take from the show!

[SCHU]

I listen to pass the time and see what "they" say the fish are biting on, besides bait. But remember that 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish. You can listen all ya want, but if ya don't leave the couch, don't expect to learn how to catch 'em! Been listening since Pappy and Bob Jr and I think Mickey is a fisherman with a radio show, pure and simple. Kinda hard to change format of a fishing show without getting a bunch of gibberish on the air...
