Last Stop on the Mogan Tour for 2013

We're heading to Kendall, FL this weekend for the last stop on the Mogan Tour for 2013. Me, my wife Cari, Mr. Producerman and Trice will be at the Dick's Sporting Goods store in The Palms at Town & Country in Miami.  You've only got a few days left to pick out that perfect Christmas gift and we're heading down there on Saturday to help y'all pick it out! We'll be there Saturday (Dec. 21st) from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., so stop on in and shop with us! 

I had a great time last weekend in Jacksonville and Daytona helping Dick's Sporting Goods shoppers with fishing questions and presents. Seems like the hot seller this season is the Flats Pink rod. Fishermen who want to get their wives, girlfriends, Moms, sisters, or daughters into fishing know this might just do the trick. A fishing rod made just for her!  Not a bad idea for that last minute gift . . . I just don't think it'll make a great stocking stuffer, you'll have to get creative when wrapping it.  

After this last stop in 2013 on the Mogan Tour, all of us at AF are going to enjoy the down time, spend time with our families, travel a bit for fun, go hunting and get recharged and ready to head back out on the water. We'll get ready to start shooting 2014 episodes, spend some time in our new Skeeter boats and figure out what new Dick's Sporting Goods stores we're going to.  2014 will be another fun season of fishing and talking fish stories for sure. 

If you're not in Miami or can't make it out to see us on Saturday, then you can still get your dose of Addictive Fishing . . . don't miss this week's episodes:  Sails and Sam, Part 2 at 10 a.m. on Sunday where I'm fishing with Sam Heaton from Johnson Outdoors and we're catching bonito, cobia and sailfish.  Then on Monday at 9 a.m. and Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. you can catch me fishing in Southern California off of Catalina Island for calico bass, that trip was a first for me and a great time.  Make sure you tune in to the Sportsman Channel to watch Sails & Sam, Part 2 and Catalina Blue!  

Until next week . . . tight lines,

Last Minute AF Christmas Shopping Guide

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Merry Mogans and a Ho! Ho! Ho!

Are y'all in the Christmas spirit yet?  Got your lists checked twice?  Well, if you haven't even put a dent in the shopping yet, let me and the AF crew make it a bit easier for you. We'll be at the Dick's Sporting Goods store in Jacksonville (St. John's Town Center) this Saturday, December 14th from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. just to help you find that perfect Christmas gift for that lucky fisherman.  Then on Sunday (December 15th), we'll be at the Dick's store in Daytona from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. to help y'all shop there too!  

Me and the AF crew were out at 3 Dick's stores on Black Friday to help shoppers shop. Although it sounded like a crazy idea at first and it was a bit crazy at one point, to be honest with you I had a lot of fun helping everyone find that perfect gift for the fisherman in the family.  I also got to get some shopping in myself for my wife Cari and son Drayden. So, I'll be in Jacksonville and Daytona Dick's Sporting Goods stores this weekend . . . get that list of fishing gifts printed out and head on in.  We'll get you shopped, checked out and heading home to wrap it all up in no time!  

Don't worry, you have time to catch this week's episode of Addictive Fishing - "Crystal Drum."  I'm up in Crystal River with one of my favorite people to fish with, Capt. Billy Henderson.  He called me the week prior to tell me the Mogan black drum were up there and to get the camera crew up there quick.  We did, and we had a great time fishing. Tune in on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. on the Sportsman Channel.  Then on Monday morning watch the most talked about episode of the season - Sails & Sam 2" at 9 a.m. I'm using the Humminbird 360 to locate the wrecks off of Stuart, FL to catch bonito, cobia and sailfish with Sam Heaton.  

I know most of you are feeling the chill of the Winter season, but we're still sweating down here in Florida. For everyone that's complaining about the weather . . . come on down, let's go fishin'!!  

Until next week . . . tight lines,

Giving Thanks, Black Friday and Triple Play

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us on the Addictive Fishing Crew!  We have so many things to be thankful for, but most of all we are thankful for you Mogan Maniacs.  A special Thank You goes out to this Country's service men and women and their families on this holiday. Some of them don't get to spend Thanksgiving together, and we want you to know we appreciate you and your service.  

I'm going to be celebrating Thanksgiving with my family, but don't have too long to nap after that turkey dinner . . . me, my wife Cari, AF Producerman and Trice are all going to experience Black Friday for the very first time.  That's right, I said it . . . we're going to be at 3 Dick's Sporting Goods stores this Friday and Saturday as your very own "Personal Shoppers."  Keep your eyes peeled for the 2 AF elves in Flats Pink Santa hats.  Ha!

We'll be at the Clearwater, Florida store on Friday morning from 9:00 a.m. - Noon and then heading to the Brandon, Florida store from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. On Saturday, we're heading closer to my neck of the woods and will be at the Melbourne, FL store from 9:00 a.m. - Noon.  I know there are some of you that just live for the excitement on Black Friday.  Me? I have never experienced it, but looking forward to helping you shop for that perfect fishing Christmas gift.  So, come out early and get in on the huge tackle savings at DICK'S.   

That's it for now.  I've got to go help Cari put the leaf in the table and get ready for that turkey.  Don't forget to watch Triple Play this Sunday on the Sportsman Channel at 10 a.m. (ET) and watch Airheads on Monday at 9:00 a.m. (ET). Two episodes in the same Thanksgiving weekend - gotta love it!  

Until next week . . . tight lines,

Shhhhh, be vewy, vewy quiet . . .

I've been hunting! Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since y'all have heard from me. I've been up in Georgia for a couple of weeks getting things done up here hunting and frankly, freezin' my butt off! At least the bugs aren't out. I love this time of year where I switch for a little bit from the water to the tree stands. I need a little time to shut off, recharge and get ready for another season of AF - shooting shows, on the road, appearances and oh yeah, fishing! 

The last time you may have seen me was in Naples at the grand opening of the new Dick's Sporting Goods store. Thank you to everyone who came out. 

We had one of the best openings of the year so far at that event. Mr. Producerman even tells me that we set a new AF record on Instagram that day with y'all posting your photos from the event. Pretty cool! Here's a "selfie" from that day . . . 

I love Thanksgiving. We all go over to my sister's house and celebrate the holiday with about 50 relatives and tons of food. We do a little bit of everything - turkey, stuffing, seafood and oh my, the pies!! Better get to the gym before next week. Ha! I'm thankful for a lot and just like most people, I bet I don't say it enough. I'm thankful for my wife Cari, my son Drayden and the rest of my family. I'm thankful for what I get to do each day and the sponsors that help us get it done. I am especially thankful for all the Mogan Maniacs out there that watch the show and come out to see us. What are you thankful for?  #thanksmoganmaniacs

It's that Holiday season again and I've got to get back home to start my Christmas shopping. I'm usually the type that waits until the last minute to get it done, so maybe I'll just stay up here in my deer stand for a little longer and worry about all the presents later.

Tune in this weekend to The Sportsman Channel for two episodes of Addictive Fishing. Tomorrow's episode is "Canaveral Slam" where I fish with Capt. Jim Ross and we hook into triple tail, cobia and big flounder. Then on Sunday, watch "Hogs in the Fog" with Capt. Ryan Farner. This was a first for me fishing for hog snapper with line and hook in Tampa Bay. Cool show and great lookin' fish! Check the website for times. Set your DVR's if you can't tune in on time, or check online, Mr. Producerman has the full length episode up on YouTube for y'all to watch! Click here for a preview. Isn't that just a cool lookin' fish? 

Until next week . . . tight lines,

Happy Fishing New Year!!

I spent Christmas fishing off of Catalina Island in Southern California with my son Drayden, spent ringing in the New Year back home in Florida with my wife Cari out on the air boat just blowing off the last of 2014. Made it through a Coast to Coast holiday season, back hitting the gym and getting saltwater on everything again. Now, it's time to go fishing y'all! 

Got a lot in store this 2015 season . . . shooting new shows, some new locales, new guides fishing with us, opening new Dick's Sporting Goods stores, got some new sponsors and new product to show off. Can't wait to show ya. To kick things off, we'll be in Miami next month for the Miami International Boat Show. I'll be in the Skeeter booth next to all of those good lookin' SX Series Saltwater boats. We'll be giving away some big prizes too, so make sure you stop on by to get registered to win:  Minn Kota Talon, Minn Kota Trolling Motor, Humminbird (999HD SI Unit), Capt. Blair Wiggins Flats Blue rod and Flats Pink rod with Sabalos reels, Dick's Sporting Goods gift cards, Costa Del Mar glasses, Engel Coolers, Star Brite Bucket of everything you need to clean your boat, RV, car, motorcycle, you name it . . . oh, it's going to be good. I'll have more details later, but thought I'd get your attention now! 

Mr. Producerman's been busy too! He took some time off the water to spend a few days on designing a new AF website. Here's a sneak peak:

This week's blog is going to be quick. My fingers are out of shape, haven't been typing in a while. Ha! Looking forward to seeing y'all this season on the water, at Dick's, at boat shows, events and on the road. Happy New Year Y'all!!

Until next week . . . tight lines,
