Muskies on the Shield DVD

[cliffy]

Has anyone else seen Dick Pearson’s new video, “Muskies on the Shield”? I bought mine a couple of weeks ago. It has some very good information in it along with some great topwater action. Just thought I would pass along this info in case anyone was looking for good muskie porn to get themselves through the winter.

I received this latest "porno" for x-mas. Love it. Dick P. is the king, and a nicer guy you'll never meet. I also like the Badfish video. They say they have another one coming....going to be available for the Extreme Muskie show late this month. If it weren't for the muskie porn, I'd never survive these long winters!

We have ours, direct from the man himself.

Enjoyed it a bunch, very, very good stuff.

We must have an the odd one as no porn in ours?

That is a good one Tom. Keep looking you might find it somewhere in there .

These types of videos and books are about all that keep me sane during the winter months....I just love that piggie that hits the bobbie bait at boatside..could watch that all day.

I have most of the in-fishermen videos and the badfish video...does anyone else know of any other videos on the market that I should be watching?

Haven't seen Dick P's new one yet, but I did get Jim Saric's new one for X-mas, killer gift, good action and pretty informative. Check it out.

Hiya,

Yeah, Dick's video is a hoot. Nice to see guys showing it like it is - i.e., fish never bite on cue, get off on their own, or get helped out when the angler - even a great one - goofs.

For those of you that have it, be sure to let the DVD run when you get to the end. There are some outtakes at the end that are priceless.

Cheers,

Hiya (RK, hehe)

Mr.Kimm when are you going to put out a video? I know you have dome some cameos w/Pete, but with all your knowledge I've gotta believe we can learn much from you too... Or maybe just a day on the water, haha...

Hiya,

RU - I'm flattered, but, really, it's not something I've ever even considered. In 20 years when I know something about muskies, I'll maybe think about it. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone watching it anyhow. God knows I wouldn't. I think I have a better face for radio.

Besides, don't think there's a better way to ruin a nice day of fishing than bringing a TV camera along. It really is a pain. Pearson basically dedicated two-plus seasons to his DVD, and that's a big investment. It shows - it's outstanding - but man, what a lot of work (and expense). I'll maybe do some shows on The Next Bite with Pete (although I skipped out on one this year to go to the St. Lawrence River instead - heh) but I don't have any aspirations for TV or video any time soon. Writing keeps me busy enough - moreso now since I'm going to be doing the muskie column for Outdoor News - and I enjoy that a whole lot more.

Cheers,

RK

RK,

I totally understand, I can't even imagine the expenses and time involved. I'm guessing the cameras and extra boats aren't volunteer workers.

I fish solo quite a bit and sure as heck wouldn't want a camera with to complicate the day.

Your articles are great, I didn't know you were writing for Outdoor News now too, that's pretty sweet.

Take care RK

Well, I got the new Jim Saric DVD in the mail on Saturday. Wow!!...very nice video..well done. Lots of good info regarding trolling, baits, open water fishing and more. I would recommend it to anyone that is into muskies.

I watched it again off and on through out the Vikes game. I am not a huge football fan..but I am glad they won.…...say what you want about Randy Moss...very talented man...but his behavior is something else.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with the sound levels on Pearson's DVD. I love the DVD and would recomend it to anyone but found the audio on my copy to be very erratic.

[cliffy]

yeh, I noticed the problem with the sound...I spoke with a couple of other people on a different web-site and they also had the same problem.

[Scoot]

Couple questions about the DVD- I've never read the book... is the DVD a reasonable substitute? How much for the DVD? Where can I order it the cheapest? Sounds like people generally think its worth the money.

[Bushwacker]

The ERC looks to be one of the only places to order it on the net. $19.95 plus $3.95 s/h. I am going to order a copy from there today. I have only heard good things about the video.

[cliffy]

In my opinion, the DVD is not a substitute for the book. I have both. Mr. Pearson states in the beginning of the DVD that the video is just to give you a taste of the Shield. He does offer a lot of information on combining different elements to improve your odds..etc. I ordered my copy of the ERC web site and I thought it was worth the cost. The only complaint I had was the sound quality. I thought it was difficult to keep the volume level consistent…no biggie.

[esoxguy]

Can someone list the full name of the location where the DVD can be purchased? I am not aware of who or what ERC is. I really enjoyed reading his book and would be interested in seeing the video.

Thanks for sharing the information.

One other thing about the ERC HSOforum, it's a great information resource, the guys that run are some of the best. Fish around (no pun intended) on the site, some great reading.

Another very informative HSOforum that I found this week is THE NEXT BITE HSOforum. It is a great show on The Outdoor Channel that features mainly muskie, pike, and walleye fishing. There is a Q&A section that is one of the best I have seen. Pete Mania gives some great advise on muskie fishing. A yahoo search for The Next Bite will bring you right there.

[RuKiddingMe]

You got it Bushwacker, I also a member there, along with Multiple other Musky sites.

I'm like an information sponge, I just keep soaking it all in.

I added one more video to my collection this past weekend..and I would recommend it to anyone. Its In-fishermen's "Muskie Masters". Its about one hour....its Doug Stange (sp?) spending a lot of time with Dick Pearson and Doug Johnson on LOTW. Lots of good info on tackle choices and presentations..trolling..etc.

[guideman]

I'm sure Dick P will have a booth at the Blaine Expo this year and most likely will have copies to sell at a special Expo price. Dick also has his own HSOforum where all his stuff is available.
