So, the last time I left y'all we were heading to Panama City Beach and then
on to Slidell, Louisiana for the grand opening of two Dick's Sporting Goods
stores. We did that and had a great time meeting the folks of the Florida
panhandle and Louisiana. There was a great turnout at both new stores and I
have to admit, it was fun to see all the Flats Blue and Flats Pink rods walking around the store. Our plan was to then drive on to Buras, LA
with the AF film crew to shoot some episodes, but a cold front and rain was
blowin' straight toward us from Texas. So, we changed directions and headed
back East to Jensen Beach to see if we could squeeze out at least one episode.
NOPE!
We dunked both Skeeter boats (the SX240 and SX220), got the film crew ready, had Capt. Mark Nichols and Capt. Ed Zyak of DOA
Lures on board and nothing. I mean absolutely nothing. Mark hooked into a big
jack, but other than that . . . zilch! Now, the wind's blowing and our next
chance to get out and film is next week. Cross your fingers, pray to the
fishing gods, and wish us luck!
In the meantime, you can come see me and the AF crew in North Ft. Myers on
Saturday (March 15th) at the new Dick's store that just opened. We'll be
there from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. kicking off their Spring Season with an in-store
only promotion: buy a Flats Blue or Flats Pink rod, get a Sabalos reel FREE.
We'll also be at the Bradenton store on Sunday (March 16th) from 11 a.m. -
4 p.m. The buy a Flats Blue or Flats Pink rod / get a Sabalos reel FREE
promotion starts on Sunday for the rest of the Florida Dick's stores and
runs until Saturday, March 22nd, so don't miss your chance to pick up this
Flats Blue/Pink combo for $99 ($89 if you come see me and get a $10 off
coupon). Remember, every season starts at Dick's! (It's true.)
Right now I'm just focused on getting episodes shot and traveling to Dick's
grand openings, other than that it's pretty quiet. We've had a tough start
to the television shoot season, but we'll pull it out. I'm gonna make this
week's blog short and get my fish mojo working again. Y'all have any
superstitious routines or preparations you always do before fishing? I'd
love to hear what works for you.
Tune in this week to AF on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. ET (Sportsman Channel), Monday at 9:00 a.m. and again on Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. But remember,
if you can't watch it on TV, you can always subscribe to the AF YouTube channel for full episodes anywhere / any time.
Hope this wind stops blowing and we get a break in the weather!!
Until next week . . . tight lines,
Blair
