Well, I was happy to see Episode 1 of the Outdoor Channel’s series Buccaneers and Bones on the DVR for my (I’m trying to make it) daily stint on the new treadmill (the show also has a Facebook Page).
It was like a return home as the location for the premier episode was El Pescador Lodge on Ambergris Cay in Belize. It is a joy to see this show back on the air after ESPN dumped all their fishing and outdoor shows this year.
On the show we get to see Zach Gilford catching bonefish with Lori-Ann Murphy out in the lagoon behind the lodge where my buddy Shane and I fished. There are tarpon and snook caught as well by other members of the Buccaneers.
This show is aimed to support the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, an organization I support and I urge you all to support too. Really… if you aren’t a member and you like to fish for bonefish, tarpon or permit… well… you should be. You can be a better person in 2011 by signing up now.
I really liked the show. The only criticism I’d have was some outbound clicks put onto the soundtrack in a place where Michael Keaton had about 20 feet of line on the deck while landing a tarpon. Still… beautiful scenery, some interesting anglers, some magnificent fish and all with a conservation message.
I’m a fan.
A nice place to be.
