the mother load


The clock is ticking! Next Sunday, May 13th, is Mother’s Day! There, now you have no excuses. For some of you, this might mean a day off the water. Last year, the Mogan Man took his mom cobia fishing. Either way it goes, make sure you plan something special for your mother for putting up with you. For this weekend, we have the Mogan Tour rolling into Jacksonville and lots of stuff happening in the video room.

DSG Mogan Tour
The Mogan Man is heading to Jacksonville this Saturday, May 5th, for another stop on the Dick’s Sporting Goods Mogan Tour. Come out and meet Capt. Blair Wiggins from 11 am – 4 pm at St. Johns Town Center. Make sure to pick up a $10 off coupon and purchase the NEW Blair Wiggins Signature Series Flats Blue rods. Also, take advantage of special pricing on Sabalos reels, D.O.A. Lures and MirrOlures while they’re on sale through Saturday. See you on Cinco de Mayo!

Chillin’
It’s going to be a hot one this summer! When you’re miles from shore and you need to stay cool and hydrated, the last thing you want to find in your cooler is a bunch of melted ice. Welcome our newest sponsor to the Addictive Fishing family, Engel Coolers. Whether you plan on bringing home the catch of the day or spending a week exploring the depths of the Everglades, having ice is critical. Engel Coolers designs performance coolers that hold ice for 8-10 days. Engel also keeps things fresh with a full line of fridges, freezers, dry boxes and accessories. Check out our cool new sponsor today!

Coming Up on Addictive Fishing
We’re in the fog one more time this week as we prepare to unleash a bombardment of NEW Addictive Fishing episodes in full AF fashion. Until then, join the Mogan Man off the coast of Venice, Louisiana for tuna fishing in 1100 feet of water using the D.O.A. Swimming Mullet. Capt. Blair gives the Flats Blue Offshore series rods a real workout under the guidance of Capt. Mike Ellis in “Relentless Fog.” Catch the excitement Friday @ 10:30 am, Sunday @ 9:30 pm and again on Tuesday @ 6:00 am on SunSports. Can’t get enough Addictive Fishing on the tube?

Our NEW web exclusive series continues with Capt. Blair Wiggins and Kevin McCabe giving a behind the scenes look at what it took to get “the money shot” as they recap “Sweetwater Snook.” Register and log in at the Mogan Lounge to be one of the first to get an exclusive preview of “After the Fight” and more each week.

Mogan of the Week
Sink your teeth into this! Miguel Vinciguerra checked in at Addictive Fishing’s FaceBook page this week all the way from Argentina. We had other entries from far away places like Costa Rico and Texas, too. Miguel’s catch was long in the tooth and we just had to share. When you catch something that outweighs the boat you’re fishing from, there’s no doubt … it’s a Mogan!  Catching a 150-pound shark from a kayak es muy loco. If he’s not careful, Miguel might be high-fouring his buddies (kinda like a high-five but missing one) that congratulate him for being our Mogan of the Week.
