I am currently in Southern California visiting family and friends, and getting fishing gear supplies in order to be ready for this upcoming high season. My wife Rebeca called Adolfo, of the panga Dos Hermanos fame, to get the current fish report, and has relayed the information on to me.
The main obvious situation is the lack of tourism and boats getting out. Adolfo has been lucky however. With his excellent reputation, he is at least fishing a few days a week. He reported the blue water about 6 t 8 miles off the beach with about 2 sailfish and 5 to 6 very nice 15 to 20 pound class dorado a day per boat. This is very decent fishing.
Inshore Adolfo reports very few jack crevalle, but there is lots of fun on light tackle for the abundant sierras, which the word ceviche should have been derived from. And, he is still enjoying the ongoing excellent roosterfish bite that just will not die, no matter what Mother Nature has tried to throw at us this year. I thought last week’s 10 inch deluge of rain from the passing of Hurricane Hilary would slow things down a bit, but the strong blue water current keeps the inshore areas clean, and the bite is still on.
Adolfo’s clients released 16 roosters on Tuesday and another 10 roosters on Wednesday.

How important is lure colour....
Found this very interesting article online a while ago. Its based towards fly fishing but this can also be applied to our lure fishing. see here
If you get the chance make sure to pick up the new sea angler, there is a great interview with Ger Carey, a super read where Ger talks all about his bass fishing.

Tuna Time in Cabo
This video was taken yesterday by our dockmaster Mario. Despite everything that is going on the economy etc. it is always important to make time for friends and family and invest in some lifetime moments that money can’t buy. Do something fun and cool like Cabo for fishing. These guys did very well to land some large tuna that will keep them in fillets of organic (seeing as that is the fashion) tuna for months to come. Well done!

kiddin' around
What an awesome time at the fishing expo last weekend! We have a recap of the show and a full load of other stuff that’s going on around the office. Mote Marine is gearing up for a shindig, so gather up the youngsters! New shows are coming to a new audience this week and we aren't jokin'.
Let's help make this happen! Mote Marine is looking to raise funds to sponsor 40 under-served children to attend its upcoming Snook Shindig Teach-A-Kid Fishing Clinic on Saturday, October 15th @ Mote Agriculture Park (MAP). The goal is to raise $2,200 by October 2nd in order to make this happen. At last tally, they've raised about $1,400. To make your donation or to learn more about the event, visit GulfCoastGives.org. More volunteers are also needed to man different stations for the event and help eat some of the food being provided. If you’re interested in volunteering, email redfishlab@mote.org or leave a message @ 941-388-4441 extn 303. Make an investment for the future.
The Florida Sportsman Show in Tampa was a huge success for Addictive Fishing. Located just inside the main entrance, the FINS/Addictive Fishing/Mogan Man booth stretched nearly the whole length of the front wall. Mr. Producer took Project Snook donations and handed out free Dick's Sporting Goods swag while Trice sold FINS like it was the only line on the market. Capt. Blair signed autographs, posed for pictures and swapped stories with kids of all ages. The Mogan Man clogged the aisles with attentive anglers as they gathered around the main stage to listen to Blair's seminar on inshore fishing. Judging by the size of the crowd, it was clear to see that most everyone at the show watches Addictive Fishing. We want to thank everyone for coming out to see us. You made our day!
Between seminars and autograph signings, Capt. Blair took a moment to draw the winner of Addictive Fishing's first YouTube contest and you can watch the drawing on the AF YouTube page. Congratulations ReelLengendFisherman! You won the Mogan Prize Pak worth over $300 which includes a Blair Wiggins signature series Flats Blue rod by Wright & McGill. We hope this prize pak helps you catch a Mogan!
Keep your eyes glued to the AF YouTube page. Season 12 just wrapped up on our local network, SunSports. Now it's time for the whole world to see! Starting this week, an episode from season 12 will be uploaded to YouTube each Monday for your viewing pleasure. The shows will also be aired on Sportsman Channel Mondays @ 3 am ET, Wednesdays @ 4 pm ET and Saturdays @ 8:30 pm ET & PT. Get your fix of Addictive Fishing on your tube and on YouTube!
Have you seen the Mogans being caught lately? Take a peek in the Mogan Lounge because there are too many to plaster in this edition of Mogan Mail. We want to thank everyone for keeping those of us who have not been fishing lately fully enticed with your photos. Honorable mentions are in order – when I call your name, please stand and be recognized. Colby Hough shows off his technique of free-lining pinfish for reds in the creeks. Steve Gross uses cut bait to pull the redfish in. Andrew Lee has no trouble doing what he does to find redfish. Way to go guys! This week’s photo is a drum of another color. Drum roll, please…. Bill Howard's beautiful picture of a "big ugly" is our Mogan of the Week!

First Blood
I have been a bit preoccupied lately trying to finish up some projects for the year. But here is the latest dominant predator video from bow hunting in Missouri this past weekend.
With limited stand options because of a North wind, Zach and Cole Sutter attempt to hang and hunt a new location. After it's all said and done, they end up sitting on the ground where Zach harvest a doe. At the end of the show, Zach sets up a trail camera on a new property that the guys will be hunting in Illinois.
BUBBA GUMP TUNA
Hurricane Hilary rolled on by in the Pacific without coming close to southern Baja. She did manage to create strong winds off shore for a couple days which has shut off the bite. Now boats are traveling as far as 50 miles in search of porpoise which have been hard to locate. Meanwhile the marlin and dorado bite closer to shore has been a very slow pick. In shore rooster fish have provided good action for anglers tired of traveling great distances in search of the larger game fish.
I can't predict what the future will hold but to date this has been a spectacular year for Yellowfin tuna. On my way out the door this morning my wife Jeni said if I bring another tuna home she is changing the locks. Jeni is a great cook and has figured out more ways to fix and serve tuna then Bubba Gump can serve shrimp.
Here are a few photos of some of the tuna we have landed this season.

September was good month; October prospects look better
Day one in Sarasota Bay yielded quite a few spotted seatrout, ladyfish, redfish and flounder. Trout ran from 13 to 19 inches. Redfish went from 17 to 22 inches. Most of the fish were taken on D.O.A. CAL Jigs with gold or copper crush paddle tails.
The trout were caught in the deep grass off Stephens Point. Redfish came from the channel leading into the Crosley-Horton Estate just north of the Ringling Mansion.
That area has been providing steady redfish action on topwater plugs and CAL Jigs.
The next day, we fished Bishop Harbor and Mose’s Hole off Tampa Bay. Mose’s Hole is a seldom-fished remote area only accessible via mangrove tunnel. Mallia caught a bunch of spotted seatrout to 18 inches and a redfish. We also managed snook and ladyfish.
Most of the action took place on Bomber topwater plugs, CAL Jigs and Rapala Skitter Walks.
Randy Honaker of Centerville, Ohio, his son, Randy of Tampa, and Justin Pfaff caught spotted seatrout, ladyfish and sugar trout on what turned out to be a very slow day off Stephens Point. The fish were taken on Gibby’s Big Eye Baitfish flies, Clouser Deep Minnows, CAL Jigs and D.O.A. Deadly Combinations.
Gary Herbert and Dean Panse of Michigan had an outstanding day in Sarasota Bay near Buttonwood Harbor. They combined to catch 35 spotted seatrout to 19 inches, 13 flounder to 17, five redfish to 24, ladyfish, croaker and sugar trout.
CAL Jigs and D.O.A. Deadly Combinations produced all of the fish.
The highlight of the day came at mid-morning when a mama manatee and her calf swam up to Herbert’s kayak and allowed him to pet them.
We have been encountering manatees on most every trip to the Buttonwood Harbor area.
On solo outings, I have been catching and releasing redfish to 32 inches, spotted seatrout to 7 pounds, flounder to 19 inches, bluefish to 5 pounds, croaker, ladyfish, sugar trout and snook to 30 inches.
The weather is beginning to cool. The water temperature is dropping and fish are starting to feed.
I look for very good action through October and into November.
Pompano, Spanish mackerel and bluefish are here, but their numbers will increase daily as the water cools.
I have openings in October, a great month to fish. The best thing about October is there aren’t many people around and there’s little competition.
The Mangrove Coast Fly Fishers and the Sarasota Chapter of Coastal Conservation Association will hold their 7th annual Fall Fly Fishing Challenge Oct. 29.
The catch, photo and release event will feature an Open Division, for guides and anglers fishing with guides (all anglers are eligible to compete in the Open Division), and a Fly Angler Division (no guides).
In the Open Division, eligible species include snook, redfish and spotted sea trout. Those in the Fly Angler Division will fish for a variety of species, including snook, redfish, spotted sea trout, bluefish, ladyfish, flounder, snapper, jack crevalle, pompano and permit based on a point-per-inch system.
Entry fee is $50 and includes an awards BBQ at the Ken Clark Auditorium, 3000 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota. Applications are available at area tackle shops or on line at http://ccaflorida.org and http://mangrovecoastflyfishers.com.
Call Rick Grassett at 923-7799 or Steve Gibson at 284-3406 for information.

September was a very good month for Southern Drawl Kayak Fishing.
Redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, bluefish and snook were consistent and provided thrilling action.
Regular client John Mallia of Lancaster, N.Y., had a couple of good trips early in the month. We fished Sarasota Bay off Stephens Point the first day and Bishop Harbor and Mose’s Hole off southern Tampa Bay the next.

New Record in Cabo? Blue Marlin 1213 lbs!
A 1213 lb Blue Marlin was caught in Cabo San Lucas yesterday, or should we say Saturday, as the fish took 28 hours to boat!
They took off from the dock at 7.00 am on Saturday morning with two anglers on board and headed to the 95 spot, where Luis thought he could find some marlin. Lines were in the water by 7.30 am and they started to troll. At 8.20 am a huge marlin crashed on the right outrigger which was set up with a small Zuker guacamaya lure (orange/green/yellow) intended more for striped marlin. They saw the fish jump completely out of the water about 400 feet from the boat and looked at each and other and told the angler, “That’s a big fish, around 700 lbs”, the fight then began, with the captain being super careful, knowing he only had 60 lb line, on a Shimano 50. Luis would wait for the fish to take out half the spool then quickly follow him, recover the whole spool of line and then follow again; his objective was to not let the fish go down but to follow him around , as he said “kind of like taking a strong dog for a walk on a leash”.
Poor Richard slaved away at the reel, barely seeming to make a dent in the brute strength of this fish. By 5.00 pm they were out of food and water and had to resort to drinking the melted ice water in the cooler. Luis called his brother Frankie another captain, who showed up with supplies and to keep them company. The fish jumped one more time before sunset, this time closer and they reconsidered their size estimate, to 800 to 1000 lbs. By this time Richard could not go on and, Frankie’s deckhand went aboard to work on the fish, reeling and waiting. They continued to be patient and settled in for the night, with the guys struggling to stay awake at times. Frankie’s boat provided light so they could see the line. As the sun rose the fish continued to fight on and the deckhand was relieved by the angler. By 9.00 am the crew decided they had to do something; they rigged up a special snag set, consisting of four hooks, tossed it at the fish and hooked it in the cheek. Now with two anglers pumping away at the fish it finally tired and they were able to get it alongside the boat.
Richard the angler, said, “It’s a once in a lifetime fish. I want to take him”. That said, they gaffed him and tried to get him on board, but the huge body would not fit through the transom door, so they had to leave half of the fish in the water and motor back to port. The fish had taken them a long way, with them ending up 30 miles off of the Old Lighthouse. The leader was 300 lb but had stretched so much, it looked like 100 lb, and one of the hooks in the lure had also sheared off.
Back at the dock, they had to borrow an electronic scale from another boat which showed 972 lbs, however they could not get it completely clear of the floor, so measured the fish which was 137 inches long, without the bill and had a girth of 75 inches. According to the formula used the fish was 1213 lbs. Richard must be a real aficionado though, he went out again today and released a striped marlin and caught a tuna, but then believe it or not got sea-sick! Anyways just shows Cabo and Mexico are still the best spot in the world for fishing
*please note the fish was not caught aboard a Pisces boat. Fish was caught aboard a local charter boat "Go Deep"
“That was the hardest thing I ever did in my life by far. I’ve shot bull moose and trekked out with 200 lbs on my back and it doesn’t even compare. It was the greatest experience of my life. I travel all around the world, Africa, Asia and nothing comes close to this”. Angler Richard Biehl, Traverse City, MI
The monster, which could be a new Cabo record was caught by Richard Biehl from Traverse City, MI, aboard a 31 ft Blackfin “Go Deep”. We had a chance to speak with the crew and get the whole story. Captain Luis Abaroa comes from a long line of fisherman, all great in their own right; his grandfather, father, uncle and brother have all landed fish over 1000 lbs.They took off from the dock at 7.00 am on Saturday morning with two anglers on board and headed to the 95 spot, where Luis thought he could find some marlin.

Black Rocks Rockling romp
With better tides and also a rising tide into darkness I had high hopes of a few Bass tonight but I'm afraid they were a no show. I think the last ten days weather has dispersed these fish locally and whatever pattern they've been following has been broken. I will make a few phone calls over the next day or so to see if its worth spending some time on the beaches nearby or more than likely I will be heading south again.
Anyway the beach was strewn with weed and this was a real problem so all I managed were four Shore Rockling. After taking some abuse from the lads chasing these for my species count it was nice to get a few but as it happens not any that mattered as I need a 5 beard and a 3 beard but now I've found the Rockling rythm there only a cast away Mr Kennedy! So these pictures are especially for you Willie ..... :0 )
I found myself surrounded by foxes again tonight so much so I think I need to check my waders for rabbits. At one point I had three within 5 yards and they just kept coming closer and closer. When I get back to the car I loaded up drove home narrowly missing another two.

White Water....
Bass fishing in fizzed up oxygenated water is a hell of a lot of fun and mostly involves just holding on while the line screams off your reel....
You cant help but feel that every cast you make in these conditions is going to result in a rod wrenching hit from a bass fizzed up in the white water..... excitement levels slightly high to say the least.
Lures that bite down into the water in these conditions make a difference, if your lure can not get down to where the bass are feeding it will make it difficult to get that hook up.
We have found that Gatarides, X-140s and Sasuke 140s all do this job well.

.. Success now is just getting there and doing it. We did it yesterday. We succeed. And we walked just 15 feet from the car door to the water and caught some fish. There were no other fishers. There were a couple of teenaged kids on horses. We chatted.
.. They galloped across our favorite bridge and sent the fish scurrying to new hides and holes. We watched and stalked and caught - blessed be the exuberance of youth.
.. The midday sun drove us from the water and we sought solace in a cool dim pub. We gathered information about the best places and the best flies. All has been appropriately filed. It's impertinent. We seldom tread in others footfalls.
.. Big fish are in the Madison River System. Hmmm, happens every year about this time. Terrestrials are working wonders on the Gallatin River. Hmmm, ditto. The cooling Firehole River is belching forth prodigious quantities of caddis and other aquatic flies. Hmmm, ditto. Nez Perce Creek is now open along the riverside trail for 5 miles. Fish are following the cooling water both up and down it's length. Hmmm, ditto.
.. There are no less than two dozen tributaries to the Madison River System above Hebgen Dam that have "Ghost Runs" of spawning fish. They seldom see a fisher. Hmmm, ditto.
.. By the way, took a 22" buck brown trout on an isolated stretch of an unnamed tributary. The water was, at best, 14" deep. Our afflictions demanded we fish here. Hmmm!
..Didn't bother to squeeze it's guts for the camera.

steve strikes again!
Last spring Steve came to fish with me and wanted to learn how to improve his wade fishing game. When he got here they turned on 2 gens and didnt turn them off until he was gone! This time the water was low and perfect! We waded all day long and fished several differnt styles of rigs and steve crushed them! His
cast improved by 20 feet and he was just flat out deadly! It was the first day of the season Ive had my waders on and a jacket! Steve busted the chops on this brown to be the fish of the day for him!

EXPLORING FISH FOOD
There's A Lot Of It
mostly it's very small
.. Just up the road there's a bit of water that's infested with small fish, weed beds, cool temperatures, and bears & berries.
.. We're armed and ready for a bit of non-congenial, anti-social, cell-phone-less, fishing. Perhaps the catching will be good too.
.. The neighborhood kids tied a bunch of minuscule scraps of fluff on some tippet material for me and suggested that it would work if I could see well enough to get the knots right. We'll see! Report to follow.

Another gem in the news today
The NHS in Scotland recently sent a survey to 900 people who had died while in their care asking them how they rated the treatment they received .....WTF!
No doubt if it hadn't come to light the wigs on the board of directors would have taken the lack of response as a positive one and broke out the cigars, port and had a team building event on Necker Island.
The head of client relations/admin pictured above refused to comment on the situation but they did rattle out a cracking tune on the drums.
Rant over for this week although this might now become a weekly feature on my blog dependent on how the sunlamp treatment for SAD goes LOL
Missing the sunshine? Feeling grumpy? Over eating? book yourself a holiday in the sunshine or contact this mob if your skint.
