ghost tails

It was around this time, many years ago, the story of Prop Scar started circling through a small fishing town on the coast. The body of a redfish mangled by the propeller of a boat carelessly running too shallow was found floating near the launch. Since then, fishermen have mysteriously been disappearing on All Hallow's Eve. Their boats are eventually found anchored in place by their Minn Kota Talon and the propellers wrapped in a cocoon of FINS super braid. The only surviving eyewitness reported seeing a glowing, fiery orange apparition rise from the water around the same time one of the victims went missing. Some try to explain away the disappearances as freak accidents but the locals believe it is the curse of Prop Scar, the shamelessly murdered redfish, coming back from his shallow, watery grave to take revenge on anyone who dares to fish the flats during Halloween. Each year, anglers wash their boats with biodegradable Blair's Boat Wash by Star brite and hang up their DOA Lures and MirrOlures as a shrine to Prop Scar in hopes they will not become the next missing fisherman.

If that story wasn't spooky enough, check out some of the attractions going on this weekend on Florida's Space Coast. The Slater Brothers Invitational surfing competition brings a large crowd and plenty of things to do for spectators. There will be a block-party, music concerts, skate exhibition, volleyball tournament and more. The event runs all weekend and proceeds go to the World Skin Cancer Foundation. For the family, Brevard Zoo's Boo at the Zoo has trick or treating, the haunted trail, a witch’s lair and more. There's also Halloween in the Village and a Monster Mash Halloween Party. Florida's Space Coast has all of the spooktacular events on their web site. Be scared!

Another DSG is born! Last weekend, the Mogan Man christened the brand new Dick's Sporting Goods in Brunswick, GA. Many fans came out to meet Capt. Blair and check out the new store. Since he was in the area, Addictive Fishing shot their first show in Georgia with Capt. Scott Owens. It didn't take long for Scott to put the Mogan Man onto tailing redfish during the flood tide. There were so many fish that it made shooting this episode the fastest shoot in the history of Addictive Fishing. Capt. Owens' tricks were a real treat!

Aaron Eubanks sent us a picture of his jack-o-lantern this week and it caught our attention. It took us a while because we really couldn't put our finger on it, but there was something about this pumpkin that looked familiar. While working on some web stuff, we found the connection; Capt. Blair makes that same face when he gets tied into an "hour jack." Aaron, thanks for the picture of your "hour jack"-o-lantern, brother! That's our Mogan Squash of the Week.
