Mark, Honey Hole is a great show. The show is so much more educational than 90 percent of the shows out there. You have to pay attention. You know he is trying to catch fish, and you get to see exactly what he does in certain conditions to try to make something happen. Wilcox has done so well in tournaments across the state, I feel like its a great learning opportunity to watch him break down the lakes I fish. I trust that the changes will only make the show better.

The show is great...Keep up the good work. Suggestion come on down to central Texas and shoot a show, Fishing for Freedom would be a nice time and would make a great show.

I love the show, but for me to make the necessary package updates to my programming would cost me an additional $12.00 per month. So $144.00 year. I hate it real bad, but this last show was a good one, but it was goodbye for me. I do not have the data package to watch online either.
Been nice watching and keep up the good work.
Set the hook first, ask questions later!!!

Some of you younger guys are clueless as to history and theme of the show over the last 30 yrs dating back to Jerry Dean. They wanted to show local folks on local lakes with near real time info as possible, for the most part I believe that has been a success IMO. BIll Wilcox loves the sport, loves the competition, the show is a passion of the heart for him. He's not getting rich from it.. I applaud the move to expand the viewing audience, nice job Mark.. I will continue to be a loyal veiwer, and fan.. Thanks for the effert, and content you bring each week Billy Dyson...

To upgrade more data puts me in the same boat of over $100 per year to be able to view the show. Thanks though.

Well said Billy. Bill is a stand up guy and anyone that knows him knows he is doing his best possible at the time. He is not a slacker and puts countless hours in. If any of you know Mark Jones he is a stand up guy as any you will ever meet. Good luck to you all. I am sure it will be a great success.

FNS won't be a sponsor in 2014. Huge thank you though is in order for Jeff and Monte's support of the show over the years. We are fans of those guys and wish them well moving forward.

With all of that being said Bill and Dirk are solid gold and there's no one that could do a better job given the time, budget and resource constraints they deliver under. Not even a grandpa with a GoPro...
I'm a grandpa and just got a GoPro. Headed out to make my mark with a fishing show. So look out for the Oldcomer.

Your point is moot and sour Not everyone has a laptop, tablet, smartphone etc. to do as you suggest. People just assume that EVERYONE has one available.

I think the basic assumption is that if you're here on the TFF and posting about NOT being able to view the show anymore that the point is moot because you accessed the TFF and that you can watch a YouTube video of the show posted here or on our website. Unless of course you're accessing the TFF via mobile and you don't have a smartphone or an iPhone. I can only speculate that the number of people accessing the TFF on a flip phone is a very very small percentage.
FYI, watching a 30 min video on YouTube uses around 75-100mbs which means if you have 1 gig of data in your plan, then you can watch a months worth of shows for less than a 1/2 a gig. It's not going to tax your mobile data plan unless of course you don't have one.
Bottom line here is that we will do all we can to present the show across as many platforms as possible to deliver it to our viewers. Its just that local TV will no longer be one of those platforms.
Thanks everyone
