Title: Fish On - Hooked on Fishing
Post by: The_Gaffer on September 10, 2012, 15:01:12 CET
We have a mix of fishing related programmes on TV.  Just to name a few, we have cacca & pesce, Extreem fishing with Robson Green, Wicked Tuna, Monster fishing, and locally we have Mr. Fisherman, to a lesser extent 'x'qala l-bahar' and Geo Geo on RAI.

However, in your opinion...
1------What would you like to see in a fishing related programme?
2------Should the series concentrate on local fishing only, or include foreign fishing experiences?, or do we get enough of foreign fishing  experiences on the other channels?
3------Should the series aim to be
entertaining but informative
light humour
ad hoc fishing tips
colourful fishing exclamations


as against narrative, descriptive and follow a fixed, ridged and structured agenda?

More importantly, what do you think?

I am an avid viewer of Extreme Fishing with Robson Green. I think this programme has all the necessary ingredients for a relaxing TV programme – good catches, various types of fishing and entertaining humour. Definitely my No.1

Maybe I wasn't clear enough....if you had a chice in suggesting what content you would like to see in a locally aired programme, what would it be.  the Programme would be aired in Maltese.

Ha nghidha bil-Malti, u tistaw twigbu bil-Malti jekk tridu.  Kieku kellu jintwera program fuq is-sajd hawn malta, x'tixtiequ taraw fih.  Ovja, il-program ikun bil-malti

Personally I would like to learn more about local fishing. I am told that the program Mr Fisherman is great and many people are enthusiastic about it. Unfortunately it is not aired at a time when I can watch it. I would love to be able to watch the series one day. I want to learn about the type of fish, what bait and lures to use, what rods, lines and set ups, what impact does the weather have, what regulations are there. I'd like to hear about the protection of fish to enhance survival of species, which species need protecting, why and how best to go about it, what new species are being introduced and how are they ending up in the Med. I love to learn about the different habitats of fish species and their behaviour. To me learning about the fish is all part of the fun.

Being a Maltese programme, I would like it to concentrate on fishing in Malta ONLY. I'm not interested of catches overseas when I only fish locally. I would like to see ample catches as in the recent two episodes of Mr Fisherman, but less recipe spots as these we have loads on other programmes.

I would also like the programme to emphasis on various fishing techniques and fishing tackle used, always keeping in mind local shores and seas. But please, if the programme is to show fishing techniques, the cameraman should zoom heavily on what the angler is doing and the angler should proceed at slow pace, example when tying knots, hooks or other stuff.

I think Peprina's comments says it all to perfection.

Mela lura ghas-suggett. Nahseb li TV programm lokali dwar is-sajd irid jikkoncentra dwar sajd lokali tad-dilettanti. Teknici ta sajd differenti, armar etc kif diga gie ssuggerit. Sajd bil-qasba mil-art u sajd bid-dghajsa. Sajd tradizzjonali (rixa tal-idejn, forok etc) u teknici aktar moderni.

Tajjeb ukoll li jekk possibli (ma nafx hux feasible ghax ma nifiemx akka fil-marketing) programm ma jintrabatx ma sponsor partikolari u per ezempju nibqghu naraw u nitkellmu dwar l-istess outboards programm wara l-iehor. Per ezempju illum nistghu naraw xi dghajsa tal-petecraft, darb ohra xi haga tal-mecca jew tal kaptan jew hitec - insomma mhux dejjem l-istess suppliers.

Tajjeb ukoll li nuru kemm id-dilettant jonfoq flus fid-delizzju tieghu u kemm jaqbad ftit paragunat ma kemm jitfa fl-ekonomija tal-pajjiz, il-preokkupazjoni tad-dilettant dwar sajd mhux sostenibbli bhal pariti max-xatt etc. Programm tajjeb jista jkun mezz ta edukazzjoni ghal sajd aktar responsabbli - qisien tal-hut li jista jinzamm, catch and release jekk il-hut ikun undersize jew mhux ser jittiekel.

PS sorry imma l-post giet bil-Malti. La nbdiet bl-ingliz suppost bl-ingliz izda hemm posts bl-ingliz u bil malti u gietni ftit twila wisq biex noqghod nittraduci!

Post by: dgal0021 on September 16, 2012, 14:47:35 CET
Having read all the valid comments, if all was incorporated it would be a great maltese fishing tv series. However as rightly said, costs are high and its almost impossible not to combine sponsors to such a venture. And obviously sponsors want their products visible all the time, as well as logos and spots shown every 2 minutes. Which is really annoying and detracts from the whole idea! So what if instead of being a TV series it would be produced as a dvd series. The purchase of the dvd would make the whole idea feasible, as well as avoiding the need to over-sponsor it. If the dvd was at a reasonable price im sure a lot of people would buy it. Obviously it is easier said then done, and I am sure most people would buy one, and copy the dvd for a 100 times to distribute it to friends. However, again this can be tackled in various ways. Just a basic idea which can be worked upon.

Impartiality is possible. A one hr TV programme is entitled to 12 minutes advertising time. So a 1hr programme works out at 48minutes programming and 12 min advertising. However, good idea on the DVD suggestion, fruit for thought!

I have another suggestion, which should provide a quantative benefit to this exercise.  How many people, directly or indirectly, benefit (financially) from the recreational fishing industry in Malta.  Just to mention a few areas, Fishing tackle outlets,tackle and bait importers, boat builders and boat importers, inborad/outboard importers, marine outlets, charter companies.  One could quantify the amout of people working and supported by the recreational fishing industry, and the contribution to the economy.

What I find missing in most fishing programs is explanations on sounder images. Every boat has a sounder these days but there is very little information about how different fish show on the screen.
Wicked Tuna shows this very well but that is for Tuna only. We need same information for other type of fish too.
Goodluck btw.

Title: Re: Fish On - Hooked on Fishing
Post by: The_Gaffer on September 20, 2012, 18:25:25 CET
The evidence is overwhelming.  Fishing is fast becoming the national pastime.  Whether one is dangling a line from a fishing pole along the shore, or speeding in a sports fishing boat to his or her favorite fishing grounds, people from all walks of life in Malta are hooked to this fascinating recreational activity.  Fishing. 
Recent research suggests that there is a very healthy appetite from local enthusiasts for a locally produced, unbiased fishing related TV series.  A TV series which would focus on delivering 12 TV programs dedicated to recreational fishing in Malta.  This series is projected to be aired during the summer programming timetable.  The main elements of the series would highlight various fishing techniques from land and sea, bundled as fishing adventures.  An unbiased technical review of sport fishing boats and tackle used by the local enthusiast, information on conservation and sustainability, safety at sea and legislation.  The series aims to demonstrate real life drama while out on a fishing adventure, with an emphasis on the trials and tribulations of a successful hook-up or the agony of defeat.  Light hearted humour, mixed-in with the unexpected situations, embarrassing moments and often the crude language that follows when a fish breaks the line will contribute to making this series as close as possible to the real thing.   
The expectation is to create a TV series which is unique.  Unique in the sense that each episode will break away from the usual pattern of Maltese TV programming sequences.  It will project an unbiased but positive opinion without shooting down items, equipment or boats under review.  Does not promote single sided agendas, but most importantly portrays the real story, being that  if the fish broke the line or managed to release itself, then that's what the viewers see.  If only one fish was caught during the particular shooting, then that's what viewers will witness.  Above all the producers aim is to portray the unique sense of comradeship, competitiveness and pride of every fisherman in Malta, while displaying the collective respect for the fish we seek.

I have written about this on the forum a couple of years back.  Politics is mostly about the economy, and if we can actually determine how much money we spend per kg of fish we take home, and convince politicians and lobby groups that our figures make sense, our hobby will automatically be safeguarded.  A TV series highlighting this aspect would definitely help our cause.
Also, on point that is rarely given attention is a better use of the marine resources.  A large percentage of fish caught by industrial fishing is thrown back into the sea, in most cases dead or dying.  This is a complete waste of a valuable resource.
Another issue I read about over and over again is tuna ranching destroying tuna stocks.  I can say that since ACCAT have established and enforced the quotas (about four years ago), I've seen large tuna pods breaching the surface on more than one occasion, something I previously never saw (I started fishing about 10 years ago).  I will not comment on the division of the actuals quotas between groups of fishermen, because they are clearly skewed in one direction.

Let's start with the first 12 and than if the programme is a great success I am more than sure that there will be more.

Title: Re: Fish On - Hooked on Fishing
Post by: Moonwalker on September 30, 2012, 22:48:37 CET
The fact that there are few birds in Malta has nothing to do with overshooting (or let say its minimal).

For fishing it is true though that overfishing (with nets) has depleted most of the stocks. So the program has to show how to release small fish back to the sea with minimal harm possible.

Post by: shanook on October 01, 2012, 08:15:26 CET
This is not a preservation program although it would, I presume dedicate or include it in. The idea is to make aware fishing methods, safety on the seas, running costs, the amount of fish caught, equipment used, types of boats (pros and cons as a fishing boat) etc etc
The only problem I see is that there is a mammoth amount of work involved in such a short time.
Title: Re: Fish On - Hooked on Fishing
Post by: The_Gaffer on October 01, 2012, 10:21:42 CET
@Shanook - Agreed.  These are 12 episodes scheduled for Series 1.  Ideally this is a series aired during the summer schedule.  We are going for quality and not quantity.  Real life drama as opposed to script dictat.  Inclusion rather than selectivity!
We stated up front that fishing is fast becoming the national pastime.  We aim to prove that through the 1st series.  Fishing is everone's recreactional activity.

No, the lack of birds can't be blamed on overshooting, well it has an effect but not that big...

And for what do you fish in Britain? for carp? lol or some other ugly fish in murky waters that I wouldn't even dream of swimming in...

And if you thing that you don't like my approach...well this is the approach you used, and you went out of subject...we were discussin Fish On and you tried to play the cool and insult us Maltese?

Guys, thanks for the support.  
Let me set the level of expectation here. The Production of Fish On aims to portray fishing in Malta as a national recreational activity.  Since this is recreational, we also aim at keeping the episodes light, refreshing, entertaining and easy to follow.  I can't say much here, because that would defeat the purpose of promos, marketing ect.  However, I would like to provide emphasis to the fact that we have taken on board a lot of feedback provided by the guys here, in locals where fishing enthusiasts normally gather, and we also listened to what the industry had to say.  A number of you can vouch that they have already been contacted here to provide some form of input to the series...others will follow.   Remember, Fish On is a series from the fishermen, to the fishermen, and its all about fishing :P

P.S. Il-program bil-Malti

We still need to choose a venue. Ideally it's somewhere near the sea with a Big Screen and with good parking in the vicinity. Very open to ideas.....

A quick update on where we are on Fish On:

Fish On fishing adventures will be the main attraction of the series, but we have also managed to line up a considerable amount of some of the best anglers Malta has to offer for shore, light trolling, and big game fishing.  They are prepared to share some of their secret tips and tricks, and this will be aired EXCLUSIVELY on Fish On.  There is a whole team of people working behind the scenes to make Fish On a great success. The results are already showing.  We are welcomed with open arms wherever we go to capture some action.  People feel willing to share and 'expose' the pros secrets with us.  We are currently working on the promo, which will promote the series on TV.  We have some great footage of this years best catches from land, sea and yes, wait for it......under water!!.  Some exclusive footage, never aired before, will be screened on Fish ON.  For the 1st time ever on TV, we we have captured some amazing footage of one of the oldest forms of fishing in the Maltese Islands, this will be brought to you exclusively on Fish ON.  We have spot prizes, SMS questions and prizes, more prizes, prizes combined with our FaceBook page, specials guests, lovely ladies, and last but not least, a program dedicated to fishermen, shot by fishermen, and produced and hosted by recreational fishermen. 
In the next days, we will be launching our faceBook page, featuring some highlight footage of Fish On.  You will also be able to see all the advertisers on Fish On. 
One special word of thanks.  I must thank Nick (Skip) for allowing me to host all this on the MFF.  I feel Fish On owes a lot to the MFF and especially the admins here, and this will be acknowledged on Fish On. 
More to come soon.

Hi All,

This is a great idea, and I would love to come for my first get together with all you guys. Especially after all the help you provided when I needed it.
Only problem is that I am from Gozo so it's a bit difficult for me to say a definite yes before I know the date time and venue, but please note that I will do whatever it takes to make it. Also I have about 8 of my work colleagues who are all crazy on fishing and would definitely love to come, always if that is ok with the forum members. Maybe we can gain new members to the forum.

One other nice idea would be a feature on our Maltese boat manufacturers, it would be nice to have their products and hard work shown and appreciated by the Maltese and Gozo islands. ( Just A suggestion of course !! )

Please keep me updated

Cheers

Simon

In gozo somewhere in tac-cawla area in victoria there is a boat builder that still builds the traditional kajjik, luzzu and frejgatina out of wood.  And he still has orders!  I believe he is the only one that still practices this tradition.   Would be interesting to film his work...

Guys, thank you for the support.  We have had to move the start date of Fish On to the 9 July, i.e. today week.  Hope you can all make it.  BTW - have you decided on a venue yet?
We have had to move the date as we are preparing a grand Finale for the last program of Fish On, scheduled for the 24 September.  Can't say much now, but i can assure you that Fish On will sign off with a bang!!

Hi all,

It's a pity such short notice was given, remember I am from Gozo. I work in Malta and am working evening shift from 11.30am till 8.00pm. I will try to come right after work but I am afraid the family wont be able to make it on such short notice. I always thought the get together would be during the weekend.
However I will do my best to try and get some of my friend to come to make up for the wife and kids. Were exactly is the sirens Bistro please??
Title: Re: Fish On - Hooked on Fishing
Post by: malvizzu on July 09, 2013, 08:54:41 CET
@Simon – I assume you know where Xemxija Bay is in St Paul's Bay! Once you are there, keep going on the main road until you reach Mecca Marine Centre. Go past Mecca until you reach St Paul's Parish Church. Make a left turn just before church and than right and you will near the Wignacourt Tower. Go down the road by the tower and you come to Sirens Bistro, which is part of the Sirens Waterpolo Club. If it's complicated I can meet you at Xemxija, or further out near Azzopardi Fisheries or petrol station, depending from where you're coming.

Yes it was a relaxed evening. But I have to watch it again next Sunday as there was too much distraction with various talks on fishing between us. But footage looked very interesting especially the filming of the albacore catch with underwater cameras. Simply amazing. Well done Joe for a great job and also to your team. Looking forward for future footage.

Was a pleasure meeting you guys again, and a big well done to Joe and his team! :) As others said I will have to see the programme again on sunday as the audio was too low

Same here Kris. I think it was the first time we met. Cheers mate.

is there a repetition because I lost it yesterday.

If you have Interactive TV you can use The Catch Up Feature and watch it whenever you want. I have GO Interactive and watched it again last night.

Iva il programm kien tajjeb hafna - hadt pjacir hafna nisma u nara dwar is-sajda "moderna" ghal mulett - kont immur hafna ghalih (xi 25 sena ilu) imma dak iz-zmien kien hemm hafna aktar hut u konna nistadu b'harira 0.25 sa 0.30 u snanar kbar - ma tantx ser taqbad hut jekk tistad hekk illum!

Thank you for your kind comments.  Its not easy producing a programme of this sort.  One thing everyone has to keep in mind, that this is a reality show, being that if we went fishing and caught nothing, then that is what the cameras will show!
Having said that, we do try our best, and I engage some of the best local anglers to maximise our efforts and chances of catches. 
Do keep following us on our FB page, as there are a lot of prizes to be won.  A recent addition is the Predapro rigs.  We are giving away Predfapro rigs every week till the end of the program to lucky winners on our FB page.

Only pity is it's a short program :) Could do easily with an extra 30 minutes.

Agree with that.  Maybe its because we're putting in 2 Fishing adventures instead of one. its a pity too...5hrs of filming usually edited down to 10 minutes...mhux fair hux  :P

For the benefit of those who missed last week's Tuna Fishing program, where we were lucky enough to catch and land a BFT using rod and reel, here is the link to the entire footage as shown on TV.  All fishing adventures shown on Fish On are now up and are linked to youtube.  Just visit www.facebook.com/Fish On - hooked on Fishing

Minn nofs dahra habieb.  Sempliciment dahal is-sunnara minn naha, ohroga minn naha ohra, dawwar is-sunnara u erga dahhala ha tahbi l-ponta.  L-importanti mhux kif tillixka, imma li jkollok naqa lacci kapaci, u tonn irrid imiss.  Jien il-lacci tieghi kienu minn dawk li gibna fis-sajda tal-lampara.  Kienu fil-friza, imma baqaw sbieh.

It is my great pleasure to announce that the TV series Fish On will be back on air next summer 2017 on ONE TV.  Programming time has now been extended to 60 minutes.  We are including new initiatives in the program, most of these were suggested by the views.  However, we shall be introducing new fishing techniques which were not covered during the last series, and as usual the Learning Zone will be packed with information I have picked up from here, FB and other sources.  BTW, Facebook likes for the series have exceeded 2100 likes!!!!
It really is great to be back. I will let you know more soon.

Programme line up for next summer will include squid fishing, as well as spear fishing, and all other fishing techniques which were not covered in the 1st series.  I will let you all know About next year's series once i finalise all deals with prospective sponsors and advertisers.  However, i can say that Fish On, series II, will be longer, much more informative, and many more exciting fishing adventuresthan ever before.  Ohh, and it will be all local  8)
