the twitch

Judging by the weather this week, I think Spring has sprung. The tackle shops are crowded with shoppers, "Flats Blue" rods are flying off the shelf and everyone we talk to is getting the itch to go fishing. Here are a couple of items you want to know about to fill the gaps between your next trips.

Need a pick-me-up Monday morning? Mr. Producer uploads a full length episode from last season every Monday for that little adrenaline boost. From wade fishing the flats of Stuart for trout and snook to striper fishing out of New York City, another Addictive Fishing adventure is available at the click of a mouse. Subscribe to our YouTube page and be notified as soon as new episodes become available. If we get enough subscribers we'll be able to post the brand new 2011 season episodes straight to the internet this season! Be sure to sign up and tell your friends to do the same.

Next weekend, the Mogan Man will be in Tampa with FINS for the Tampa Tribune Outdoor Expo. The expo will run March 4-6 at the State Fairgrounds Expo Hall. Capt. Blair will have plenty of FINS line for sale so be sure to pick up enough to respool for the season. He'll also be showing off his new "Flats Blue" rods and maybe a few other goodies. Don’t forget to drop off your donation for Project Snook. Every dollar counts and goes directly to funding Mote Marine’s snook research. Hope to see you there!

It's been a while since we've had a Mogan Maiden as our Mogan of the Week. Sharon Magwood recently got a new kayak and she couldn’t wait to put it in the water. She picked up the kayak at the shop and took it straight to the water for a quick trip before sunset. Using a CAL shadtail, Sharon christened her new boat with a healthy Tampa Bay snook. Way to break it in, Sharon!
