    I’m struggling exactly the same way as Dave did. I love my fishing and it really does relax me so much! Paul and Bob are legends

    This therapist approves! Time outside, healthier coping habits, and doing enjoyable and relaxing activities, especially with others, can be more effective than any textbook therapy or medication. Good for you mate

    I find spending time in the great outdoors (even when not fishing), very therapeutic.
    I also live with anxiety (especially social anxiety (and depression)), but spending time outdoors in nature, especially with the doggo, helps massively and, dare I say, helps put things into perspective.
    Thank you Bob and Paul for this wonderful programme (I watch many episodes repeatedly), and thank you to Dave for sharing and fighting the good fight.
    Take care all,
    Wishing you all the very best
    Dave & Buddy* (*the doggo)👍

    I love Bob Mortimer, and I know he's suffered with depression in the past. I hope he knows how beloved he is by people. He's made me laugh since I was 13 and I'm always cheered up after watching him. I'd really recommend watching Catterick. It's so funny.
    And Paul is great. I loved him in The Fast Show as Ron Manager and the dodgy geezer etc. And he comes across as a really genuine guy. So funny but kind too. Gone Fishing is just a super show! Long may it continue...

    I really, REALLY hope that everyone involved in this show - particularly Bob and Paul for being kind enough to open themselves up publicly - knows just how special this is and what a service they’re doing.
    Unquestionably, this show will save lives.
    People, especially men, will go to the doctors with physical and mental symptoms because of how this programme and its gentle, and relatable warmth, humour and compassion drags these health issues into the light and smashes the stigma.
    I love everyone who has done their part to bring this little gem to our screens. ❤

    Fantastic! These discussions should be happening more and more - currently in Australia we loose 6 men per DAY to suicide and it’s just too many..
    The more shows like this that make it more normal for men to share their feelings and talk about what’s on their mind and their struggles; the better and easier it will become.
    Hats off to you for taking time off your normal routine to give this a push along
    And finally - now I can get a doctors script to be off work and go fishing!! :)

    Gone Fishing with Bob and Paul is very well presented, amusing and informative and has attracted a diverse audience and not just for the show's fishing content. 👍
    I met Dave a few years ago just after he'd set up Tackling Minds (covid situation didn't help) and his enthusiasm and belief in the benefits of fishing to help improve wellbeing was very evident . I was only too pleased to give what little help I could and very pleased with his inclusion in Bob and Paul's show and that Tackling Minds is up and running (should that be fishing!!! )
    🎣 Keep up the good work everyone.🙂

      Fishing is secondary my friend. It’s spending time in the great outdoors, connecting with people, and reaping the many proven benefits of the green blue spaces.
      It doesn’t have to be fishing, it can be any hobby 🙂
