World Fishing Network (WFN) - call comcast!

[Larson15]

World fishing network is a 24/7 fishing channel that is currently not in the comcast Minnesota channel lineup. This channel is offered by comcast in other parts of the country and all other providers are carrying it in Minnesota.

If possible call in and request this to be added to the channel lineup. Also, pass the word along to do the same. We need a fishing channel!

Channel 407!!! It has a lot of saltwater fishing but if you can fight through that [PoorWordUsage]-ah, there's enough to entertain for a while. WFN works great with DVR/Tivo, that way you're not fighting through "Fishing the Flats", "Fishing Western Australia", and "Fishing in Somebody's Saltwater Toilet" along with the rest of the junk. Lots of informercials on late night. Other than that, it's the first channel I turn to when the tube comes on.

lol.. little problem with the ocean, eh Raider?

I spend the darkest 4 months of the year dreaming about the beaches of Florida.

Literally. I'm not kidding, for the past week every night I've had dreams about fishing off the beach.

But yes, I wish I had more fishing TV. I make do with YOUre favorite video sharing site.

WFN is definitely one of my favorite channels. I watch the saltwater stuff here and there. There is something for pretty much everyone on WFN if you dig through the guide.

Not just the ocean MB. I, uh, pretty much avoid places where you can get killed and eaten. Oceans, Arctic, GB and ML areas (except more and more Mountain Lions are showing up in more and more places. Not good.). Yeah, I've done my share of stupid things but just something about me ending up something's lunch just does not float the old boat. If you love the ocean, rock on! The beach? Have you seen what techniques Killer Whales have now? They scoot right up onto the sand and snatch whatever. My name is not "Whatever". Just sayin'

Do you guys get a channel called CHXMN? It has a few shows that are filmed in MN/Midwest. I have mostly seen the one called Jig Heads. They do a lot of lake superior ice fishing for lakers. They also have Midwest Outdoors and the Joe Bucher show. It's on channel 87 in Duluth. Check it out if you guys get the channel.

[Raider4ever]

Yes CHXMN is a good one too. You need the cable box with the guide on it otherwise you catch infomercial after infomercial. I do like Joe Bucher.

[Sherpa]

Yeah it is 90% infomercials. The guide or a DVR make it much easier to sort through the B.S.

Anyone know if directtv has this channel?

[Superduty]

Direct tv does not have WFN. I looked into it when Dish network was boycotting FSN a couple months ago.

Man that sucks! There are barely ever any good fishing shows on anymore! I use to look forward to waking up early on saturday mornings now there isnt much on.

"From the lakes of northern Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico. Wherever fish are bitin', that's where he's gonna go. There's a lot of excitin' country, just waitin' to be explored. Join us now in the great outdoors, the world of Virgil Ward"

Loved that show. Bonus Question: Name the dog food advertiser on Harold Ensley's show? No fair Googling.

[RickyBobby]

Gotta disagree. Fishing shows are better than ever.... Reel in the outdoors, Ultimate Match Fishing, FLW Outdoors, Angling Edge, Classic Patterns, Bass Pros, BASS Elites, Zona's show, City Limits, PAA TV, Hank Parker...... I could go on. Its kind of the off-season for fishing shows. Alot of the new stuff comes out in Jan.

[BartmanMN]

I watch this quite a bit. Thank you Dish for something.
