Having met both ET and Rex you couldn't be further from the truth. Yes ET doesn't (or didn't when I met him) have the vast local knowledge of everywhere, hence his 'mates' he takes out for the show but the guy has more than enough knowledge and was still a bloody good angler in his rugby playing days.

Winga is informative and knowledgable, and fishes the same region as i do so i watch a lot of his videos, but **** hes a tosser.
Must be hard for fishing commentators these days, Rex Hunt set the bar pretty high back in the 80's
Not that their is anything wrong with that but they do seem a lot less educated on the subject than other actual professional fishos.
I find PW a pisser though, in a dweeby nerdy kind of way. Cops a lot of criticism on social media for some of the things he does, but if anyone else were fortunate enough to be in his position they would do exactly the same. I know i would.

Re: Fav Fishing Youtube Channels
I watch Jon B, Trout hunting NZ, Newmarchs fishing mission, Fish and whipz and Troutboynz semi regularly and then there's a few others that I watch a bit more sporadically.
Started my own channel to put vids up on instead of doing written reports over winter and I'm starting to get a bit of content up there, predominately light lure and fly fishing in freshwater and estuaries but I'm starting to a little bit of everything.
Links for all channels;

Jon B (super crisp edits): https://www.youtube.com/user/j0j0barz33
Newmarchs (Crazy energy and cool fishing): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL4TAi ... e5WqCZjXtg
Fish and whipz (Nice edits and good fishing) https://www.youtube.com/user/Whipzey
Trout hunting NZ (Great shots and some awesome fishing): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpXIkq ... fWcZowUnBQ
Troutboynz (Infrequent super dope fly fishing vids): https://www.youtube.com/user/troutboynz

Re: Fav Fishing Youtube Channels
We're talking boat fulls, not bag limits. Even the last time I seen him and whoever he was with not all that long ago they had 37 all over 40cm on a day when not much came in and radio chatter was of little. The bloke can fish, his son can fish and his son in law can fish.Kimtown wrote:i don't know, i watch episodes of ET and sometimes think, wtf is he talking about. he was a good presenter though, that's for sure.cobby wrote:Having met both ET and Rex you couldn't be further from the truth.

Lee is probably the best at explaining detailed rigs and fishing techniques IMO.
What happened to steve and bushy?
Havent heard of them in years
Not sure. We ran into Bushy at bermi one year. Heading offshore in his F15 hoping for a marlin.

Re: Fav Fishing Youtube Channels
Rex was/is very competent as an Angler his presentation style was popular with some not so with others. Bushy is keeping it real check the topic.
Currently I find Lee Rayner very good and like Al McGlashan’s photography.
