“Jake’s Way” was a pilot for a new series which would have seen Robert in what was effectively a modern
day western.
It was a great show with an exciting story and excellent cast including Slim Pickens and guest stars
Andrew Duggan and Ken Farmer.
Robert played Jake Rudd who was a Fox County Sheriff, just outside San Antonio, Texas.
Jake is on the hunt for the people who killed his friend, a lawyer who was about to disclose some
important and incriminating information.
It was a great Robert Fuller vehicle - fast paced and full of action.
Despite that “Jake’s Way” was not picked up - but we still have this fabulous pilot to enjoy.

Fishing Fever
Air date: 1982 to 1983
Role: Self
“Fishing Fever” was really a dream show for Robert who has been a very keen fisherman and hunter all his
life. Now he was being paid, as host of the show, to fish!!
The show was filmed in the Caribbean, mostly in the Bahamas - already what’s not to love about that. In
addition to the location Robert had many close friends as guests on his boat. He had, Patrick Wayne, Doug
McClure, Dan Haggerty, James Caan, Lee Merriweather, Lynda Day George, Christopher George, Steve Forrest
and Richard Anderson to name but a few.
The fishing was not for the faint hearted. They were after big stuff with guests catching some impressive fish.
Lynda Day George got a 145 pound tarpon and Lee Merriweather a 90 pound wahoo. Robert himself caught a
450 pound hammerhead shark and a 250 pound blue marlin.
To top it all it was all done on a beautiful 53ft Hatteras.
“Fishing Fever” wanted to break the mould of previous fishing shows, so their format was that in each show
they would fish for a specific type of fish. They would include wonderful scenery and underwater filming plus
there were the relaxing moments when they would talk about the movie industry and other topical subjects.
This was a fun show which was educational at the same time and well worth a watch.
