Some fishing DVD’s and videoes might be entertaining, but for entertainment and sharing fishing knowledge, the Dean Haye’s Sportfishing Action 1 and 2 are simply excellent.

Dean’s action takes you into the wonderful world of fishing with a variety of techniques and species for everyone. For freshwater anglers, estuary perch, bass and trout are covered, with the saltwater anglers enjoying a taste of bream, dolphin fish, bonito, kingfish, bonito, trevally, salmon, tailor and flathead action. There’s even a specific section on each DVD solely devoted to choosing the right tackle. Regardless of your species preference, these DVD’s certainly get you craving for some personal aquatic action.

The DVD’s deliberately look at the how, where, when and why questions for each of the species covered, with no regard for hiding locations from viewers. Covering fly, soft plastics, lure and bait fishing, the techniques shown will definitely help you improve your catch rates.

There’s plenty of screaming drags and bent rods on both DVD’s with some highly regarded anglers and three of Sydney’s best guides freely giving knowledge they have acquired over many years targeting their pet species. Anglers such as Kim and Steve Bain, Shannon Kitchener, Scott McGowern, Marty Bardetta, Peter Jacovides, Greg Catt and guides Scott Lyons, Dean Haye’s and Jeff Brown don’t hold back with their knowledge, clearly explaining and showing viewers the techniques that really work.

The captures of fish are largely in and around Sydney Harbour, which is undoubtly the most beautiful harbour in the world, while the trout, estuary perch and bass are caught no more than two hours from Sydney.

There’s some amazing action caught on tape, with cormarents attacking baitfish alongside kingfish on the surface, massive salmond schools attacking baitfish on the surface, a visit from an inquisitive seal, and some beautiful scenery that aside from the wonderful fishing action, make viewers long to be on the water. For pure action, entertainment and sharing of years of acquired knowledge, these DVD’s are hard to beat.

If you’re looking to expand your fishing skills, improve your techniques, simply love fishing or ever wondered how to catch fish like the top anglers do, these DVD’s definitely deserve a place in your DVD collection. If they don’t excite you to chase some fish, you need to check your pulse. You’ll probably want to chase species other than your usual favourites after watching these DVD’s which might lead to some new tackle aqusitions. There are excellent value at around $29.95, and offer plenty of action and top advice to make your future fishing trips even more enjoyable.
