gonna get a paddlin’

The host of Addictive Fishing, Capt. Blair Wiggins, has not been caught in a kayak on video (yet) but the conversation keeps surfacing. This weekend, our longtime sponsor, DOA Lures, is holding its annual kayak tournament. Next weekend, the Mogan Man will be making an appearance at the Jacksonville Kayak Fishing Classic. With the price of gas steadily climbing, we may see another spurt of growth in a sport that has erupted in recent years.

Kayakers, fishermen & -women and anyone else who loves DOA Lures are heading to River Palm Cottages this weekend for the DOA Annual Paddlers Event. Mark Nichols, creator of the popular baits, put together this fun-for-everyone tournament, that showcases his lures, to give the participants an equal opportunity to win some awesome prizes. Nichols’ “keep it simple” philosophy is translated into making this a kayak tournament, again, giving everyone an even playing field. Last year, Nikki Stewart showed 100 guys that it sometimes takes the finesse of a woman to bring home the gold. Nikki says she plans to defend her title this weekend. Look out guys!

Candice Berger! Calling Candice Berger! Humminbird will be making a call to Candice soon because she’s our latest winner in the Minn Kota/Humminbird Giveaway. Candice will be receiving a new Humminbird 385ci Kayak Combo. Don’t let the name fool you, this unit packs a lot of power in a small unit that’s perfect for kayaks and small skiffs with limited mounting options. If you haven’t put your name in the AF tackle bag for the next drawing, visit our Minn Kota/Humminbird Giveaway page.

We’re coo-coo for Cocoa Beach! Capt. Scott Lum makes another appearance on the show this week as he and Blair take on the Space Coast cobia run. Mr. Producer had to turn this marathon into a 10K to make it fit within our 30-minute time slot. Sit back and get ready for this week’s fast paced, non-stop action. The bite turns on Friday @ 10:30 am, Sunday @ 9:30 pm and Tuesday @ 6:30 am.

The “big ugly” surge! Some weeks we get a lot of redfish pictures, other weeks we see a lot of snook pictures. This is the week of the black drum. Jeremy Mcauliffe sent us his best Wiggins impersonation with the memorable quote “a black drum, baby!” Send us your best Mogan pose and you could be our next Mogan of the Week.

I’ve been a bad bird,
BillBird
