Panhandlin'


Okay Panhandlers . . . I’m coming to Pensacola next month!!  Me and the AF crew will be in Pensacola the weekend of June 22nd and we’re looking for something to do in town Saturday night.  Got any suggestions for good food, great music and a place we can all hang out for a drink or two?  Let me know on Facebook.  I’ll get you the details of where and what time later, but we’re going to be in town to see y’all on Saturday, June 22nd.

We’ve been busy making sure you’ve got all the info you need about the Flats Blue and now the Flats Pink rods.  This week the video tip we made on the 6’9” inshore rod is up on YouTube and on Facebook.  Check it out!     I’m always looking for discounts and coupons when I can.  

My wife Cari is the one who keeps me on track and taught me that, so don’t forget y’all can still get a great deal on a new Calusa castnet at Dick’s . . . 20% off until June 1st.  Dick’s Sporting Goods’ “Biggest Fishing Saleof the Year” ends this weekend, so get out there and pick up some deals!

This week we’re running episode #4 again for y’all . . . “Airheads.” This is that episode we shot early in the season when the wind was howling, the conditions were rough, and I’m throwing this new DOA lure called the Airhead.  It looks beautiful in the water, but I’ve never used it before so don’t know how it’s going to work.  On top of that, we were seeing tons of big snook, but they just wouldn’t eat.  All of these factors made Mr. Producerman a little nervous we weren’t going to get a show.  It was just about then, I hooked a trout, landed it and the thing chomps down on my thumb.  I know you’ve heard me say it before, but “if I’m bleeding first thing in the morning . . . it’s gonna be a good day!”  The very same day, I a Mirrodine wedged right into the top of my thumb, so by now I’m thinking - it better be a GREAT day.  And it was.  On the last cast of the day, I hook into 10lb trout.  That’s definitely a first on Addictive Fishing - a 10 lb seatrout.  Awesome!  Check out this week’s episode “Airheads” – Friday at 10:30 a.m. ET on Fox Sun Sports (replays Sunday 9:30 p.m. ET / Tuesday 6:00 a.m. ET).

The winner this time for the “Show Your Mogan” photo contest is . . . . Jack Williams with this fat Bass caught on a Mogan Spoon.  Nice job Jack!  Now the rest of y'all g
et out fishing, snap a picture and show your mogan!!  The next winner will be chosen in 2 weeks.  I love the stories, so please tell me where you caught your Mogan and what you were using.

I’m out in Kemah, TX this week with my tournament partner Capt. Jason Keating.  We’re prefishing for those two right redfish, so wish us luck!  I’ll be back next week, ready to start filming more episodes again.  I never get tired of fishin’ folks!

Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair Wiggins
