Here's a real old one for ya's for this Thursday's Throwback. How many of
you remember when this episode hit television. How many of you remember that
old AF logo and the old Sunshine Network logo? This one's from 2001. Seems
like just yesterday we were shooting our first season of Addictive Fishing
and I was sayin', "Now that's a black drum, baby!" Ahhh, that was fun. I
love to catch those big ugly drum!
I'm a little tired of this weather. I'm starting to get a little cranky and
so is my Producer and crew. I get it, at least the sun is shining and we're
not digging out of snow banks like some of y'all in the country, but c'mon!
The weatherman said after our latest rain and cold front that Wednesday was
going to be beautiful with winds at 5-10 mph. Um . . . WRONG! We went out in
Tampa Bay again to try to finish off a show we started a couple of weeks back
with Capt. Chad Manning. That episode shoot got cut short because of the
weather and so this trip we were thrilled to hear the forecast. We get out to
where Capt. Chad's got us fishing in Tampa Bay, we catch bait, we get to our
spot, lines in, cameras rolling, we're catching some nice slot redfish, and
then at about 10:30 a.m. someone turned on the wind machine and it started
blowing. We fished hard, stuck it out and got an episode, but let me tell ya,
it was tough. Thanks for stickin' it out with us Capt. Chad!
I headed over to
Dick's Sporting Goods
in Wesley Chapel today to shoot our "Rig it Right" segment and to get some shots for the new updated Dick's commercial spot.
The folks at that store are always great to us . . . it's kind of our
"homebase" when it comes to shooting what we need for the show. Thanks to
everyone there and the the couple of shoppers who will have their
first cameos on television.
Don't forget to visit your nearest
Dick's Sporting Goods
store this week. They've got some sweet Saltwater deals going on until
Saturday, March 22nd. Here's a few for ya:
I've gotta run to do some research and make some phone calls to see where
the fish are biting and where our next shoot is going to be. Hope this wind
stops blowing and the fish get ready to play!
Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair
