Hey, I'm all for this "Throwback" photo sharing and every week I post one I
say to myself, I can't believe I'm going to post this. I love seeing all my
friends' photos and I'm not scared to share mine. Here's a beauty from
1987/1988 when I was still in the Air Force. I was stationed over in Germany
and a few of my buddies and me went skiing in Austria. Skiing the Alps in
shorts will certainly go down on my list of top memories, we lived on the
edge back then. Don't think my knees could handle skiing these days, let
alone the runs we did in the Alps. Oh, where have the years gone?! Enjoy
this one folks!
Y'all have seen my new Skeeter boats on the show this year and I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how they've been working for me. I couldn't be happier with both the SX220 and the SX240. The Yamaha-owned boat company sure knows what they're doing and they make a fine product. From the dry ride, to the live well capacities, the reliability and all the extras, it's a sweet machine from bow to stern. Another new piece of equipment I'm running for the first time this season is the Atlas jack plate (by T-H Marine). It's quiet, smooth and gets my boats in and out of skinny water whenever and wherever I need to be to catch fish. I've always talked about the importance of having reliable equipment and a jackplate is an essential. The Atlas hydraulic jack plate raises my Yamaha engine with little effort and keeps me from ever leaving a prop scar on the fishery floor. Check 'em out . . . they make a lot of boat accessories that improve your boat's performance.
So, are y'all ready for the next new episode? This week we're down in
Chokoloskee with
Capt. Brian Sanders. Some of y'all probably remember Capt. Brian, he's been on a couple of
episodes in the past seasons. He's always a go-to and a phone call away. We
know he'll put us on the fish and have a good time. Check out this week's
episode, "Deadwood" where we're catching redfish and snook deep in the Everglades with the
"Chokoloskee Kid"
Capt. Brian Sanders. The area where he has us fishing was once devastated by hurricanes and
all of the swamp trees have died there. The local captains call the area
"Deadwood," and it's turned the area into an amazing fish habitat though so
that's where we were fishing. When I hear the word Deadwood though, I think
of those old spaghetti western movies with Clint Eastwood . . . not quite,
but you'll have to watch this week's episode to see what I'm talking
about.
Tune in tomorrow to see "Deadwood" (Friday, May 27th at 10:30 a.m. ET on Fox Sun Sports). Check the AF website for replay times on Sunday and Wednesday.
I'm over in Tampa Bay again with my crew, looking for Tarpon today. Hope to bring you a great tarpon fight on an upcoming episode. We'll see if the fish gods cooperate!
Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair
