That's a hawg!!

Have you ever been out on the water in fog so thick you can't see the bow of the boat from where you stand at the console? Well, that's how foggy it was the day we went out in Tampa Bay to shoot this episode. Our guest guide, Skeeter Pro Capt. Ryan Farner had his buddy "escort" us out to the spot because his big offshore boat had radar. It was a scene from "The Fog" really, eerily quiet and a little strange. I was excited though because I was about to do something new in a fishery I really don't know much about . . . hogfish on hook and line. I've only ever spearfished for hogfish in the Keys and off of reefs, this was Capt. Ryan's specialty and so here we go! I've got to say it was a great day, super cool looking fish and probably one of the tastiest I've had too. 

Tune in Sunday (October 12th) at 10:00 a.m., Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. and Friday at 2:00 a.m. on The Sportsman Channel to see "Hogs in the Fog." Set your DVR's if you can't tune in on time, or check back 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? 

I just got back from opening a new Dick's Sporting Goods store in Savannah, GA and it was awesome to meet the folks up there. I was happy to see (for the 1st time on the shelves) the Mogan Maiden pink Sabalos reels . . . Yup, they're here!! They will make that Flats Pink rod look extra good. Check 'em out at Dick's y'all. 

Gotta make this week's blog quick . . . I'm getting ready to hunt and leaving early in the a.m. Have a great weekend!

Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair

Going to Miami!

It's February. It's boat show season. And the only way to kick it off is in Miami at the International Boat Show!! Talk about a kid in a candy store, great people watching and boats, boats, boats!!

They have it all at this show and I'll be there hoping to see y'all! Stop by the Skeeter Booth (M12) and register to win some incredible stuff from my awesome sponsors - Dick's Sporting Goods gift cards, Engel Coolers, Minn Kota Talon, Minn Kota trolling motor, Humminbird electronics, Wright & McGill Flats Pink and Flats Blue rods, Sabalos reels, and Star Brite Bucket of the best cleaning supplies on the market.

I'm loading up the boat with the prizes and heading South to the Skeeter House today. Make sure you stop by the booth this week not only to register for some killer prizes, but to check out the SX Series Skeeter Saltwater Boats. Cool features, top of the line boats and one of the best warranties on the market. I look forward to meeting y'all and hopefully seeing some familiar faces.

Gotta run and get down to Miami!
