Nirvana on the flats July 9, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you are looking for good information that might help you prepare for a bone-fishing trip, look elsewhere, if you want to reinforce why you are going... buy this DVD. The photography and scenery is of the highest quality. Watching two fishing legends, working together to get a fly down to the "big bonefish" simultaneously raises my heart rate and lowers my blood pressure. My family gave me grief over the per-minute cost of the video compared with commercial film at half the price and six time the length. I will still be enjoying this DVD when Transformers XV is grossing a billion dollars.
Wonderful Bahama Fishing Film April 27, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I loved this film. Why? It is a little piece of art that I take out a few times a year to share with friends. My angling buddies always salivate when the first scene opens and the water laps on the bow. From there we follow the comically infectious obsession of the anglers on the boat chasing bonefish (using only a fly rod) and all the while - the old Bahamians add color commentary and generations of stories from the dock. This is just pure fun and something that I've watched more times than I can remember.
The Real Thing - You Are There April 25, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I first saw this short film (22 minutes) at the Great Falls Montana Fly Fishing Film Festival. And, I heartily recommend it. Rising Tide took home the audience prize and warmed a lot of hearts during that winter exhibition. The film was the first film by The HowardFilms guys (they made the tarpon series Chasing Silver - which is now in the IGFA Hall of Fame) and the time spent with generations of guides on Andros (Bahamas) and the amazing cinematography make it unusual in a world of quickly shot "fish videos"...No, it is not a How-to either. But simply a one-time escape withtwo lifelong Bahmamain Bonefish Guides, showing skills few mortals can match, and a trip that I doubt will be seen on film again.

Probably the worse DVD I have ever viewed. I don't suggest anyone buy this selection!

This is agreat DVD. So many of the bonefishig DVDs are terrible photography and too much talking about nothing. This is DVD that will help you escape the winter blues and see some great fishermen tell their stories and chase some big fish. I have watched this DVD every year before the season and it always gets me excited to go fish.
