Who Appears On The Fishing Line?
For
"Fishing Line" listeners, the
list comes as no surprise as the wide array of guests and topics each week is as eclectic as any in the
history of radio.    Since we debuted on the airwaves over
a decade ago, I only hope your
fishing success has improved and I thank each and every one of you for tuning in each
week. For those who just found us on the airwaves of WGBB
1240 AM or who listen to the shows streamed each
week on the internet, all the
information on the shows is contained within this web site. Following is the list
of all the guests, subjects and topics we have covered in our
2005/2006 seasons.
As you can see guests include Flip Palot, Bob Popovics, WABC's Meteorologist
Bill Evans, comedian Joey Kola Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston,
"One More Cast" host Shaw Grigsby and the
"Bass Professor" himself Doug Hannon on a regular basis...as well as that of the
expert captains and anglers from around our Northeast region and the world.

subject or topic that interests you, audio tapes of "The Fishing Line" radio
