Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, there is nothing like the
explosiveness and excitement of a BIG striper chasing and
pouncing on live bunker. The drag screams under intense pressure of the
powerful surge from the linesider’s “broom” tail and the rod bends with
gears straining to hold the beast. It’s here
at “The Fishing Line” television show for nearly a decade...we’ve
given viewers and anglers this kind of excitement! Learn the why’s and how’s of
the tackle, techniques, Rigs and tactics used
to subdue trophy fish of all species that call the northeast home.
”The Fishing Line” let’s
you experience northeast regional action like Diamond
Jigging or Chumming
Giant Bluefish as no one else can or has ever done…with exciting two
camera production and stunning underwater video that captures the behavior of each
species. These special and “niche” techniques as we like
to call them, are detailed and explained through state of the art computer graphics and on
film with close ups and explanations of the tackle and equipment used on every show. How
about Trolling Large Plugs for stripers andbass? Look back over the
last half decade at the shows, topics and guests we've had.
Whether we use Live
Herring for Winter Stripers, or Drifting
Live Snappers for Doormat Fluke, Plugging
Bass and Blues in the skinny water of the back bays in the early morning of a
summer heat wave or hitting the Surf for Striped Bass
or Kingfish
from time to time...“The Fishing Line” has covered it and will
continue covering it all…giving northeast regional anglers exciting fishing action
and information.
Would you like to see
weakfish wormed or bucktailed on light tackle? How about seeing a Leaping
Thresher Shark or Catching
the Tresher …huge Offshore
gamefish or perhaps the intricate details of finicky Summer
Largemouth or Early Winter Smallmouth Bass? If you’re a bottom
fishermen, “The Fishing Line” gives you insight into the underwater world
of Blackfish of NJ or NY, Porgies
and Sea Bass as Rich Johnson and his guests
guide viewers through the steps and techniques to boost your fishing prowess and
experience.
Choosing the correct presentation, rod, reel,
bait, hooks and lures… you too will be fishing like we know you can…with much
better success and hook up ratios. As we do on “The Fishing Line”…you
too will know how to keep live bait fresh, kicking and wanted by every game fish..
For nearly a decade Rich
Johnson’s “The Fishing Line” has teamed up with the regions
best…and most well known captains to help us all become better anglers!
As many of you have done,
viewers’ head back to the Internet site for a Recap of the shows with streaming video of action clips from the show, Boating Tips and detailed
graphics of the Rigs and descriptions of the
products we used for success and you can link to the manufacturers’ sites to see
product lines.

to be..and will always be “must see TV” for anyone who fishes
or wants to fish in the Northeast. You don’t want to miss our 26-week season filled
with enough excitement to last a lifetime and...
