I like this Throwback Thursday thing on
Facebook. It gives me a chance to go through some old fishing photos and relive the
great catches I've had in the past. Sometimes it's not just about what I'm
catching, but what I've helped others catch. Here are a few from 2003 when I
went snook fishing in Jensen Beach with my production crew and cousin. We
were just out for fun one day and each one of us hooked up to a snook of a
lifetime. The photo above is Mr. Producerman Kevin with his Mogan Snook. The
next photo is Trice our Operations Manager with her impressive
linesider.
. . . and then my cousin Shane rockin' one for the photo album. The ride
home that day was filled with lots of grins!
Earlier this week we had a really small window of good weather over in the
Tampa Bay area and
Skeeter Pro
Capt. Ryan Farner called to let us know he had a show idea for us -
Hogfishin'. Now, I had never caught Hoggies on a hook before, I had only ever caught
them spearfishing, so this was going to be a challenge but I was up for it.
The only hesitation I had was we had to make sure we could catch 'em for the
camera, and the pressure was on. You'll have to tune in to the episode when
it airs this Spring, but let me tell you . . . I had a blast catching these
crazy and beautiful looking fish. They sure are pretty (and pretty
tasty).
Hey Florida Panhandlers - we're coming back up and will be in
Panama City Beach
next weekend on Friday and Saturday (the 7th & 8th)!! I'll give you all
the details on where to find us in next week's blog. My new
Skeeter SX220 will be there for you to check out and
Legendary Marine
will be bringing out a new
SX2250. We'll be leaving right from Panama City on Saturday to head to Slidell, LA
for some fun with y'all on Sunday, March 9th. After we spend the day with y'all on Sunday, me and the crew are heading to do some Louisiana fishing and
shoot an episode for the new AF season. Going to be a long, but very fun
trip. Hope to see y'all next weekend . . . I'll fill you in on the
where/when soon!
Tune in this week to AF and catch the last airing of "Tortuga Bank" on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. ET (Sportsman Channel). We've got some killer grouper and snapper action to show you from the Dry Tortugas. Then on Monday at 9:00 a.m. and again on Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. check out the "Bits & Bites" episode for footage you didn't get to see before, like blackfin tuna, grouper, redfish and tripletail. Don't forget, if you can't watch it on TV, you can always subscribe to the AF YouTube channel for full episodes anywhere / any time.
I've got to get the oil changed in my truck and get ready to hit the road
again. Next stop, Panama City Beach!
Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair
