Most of us have stopped our belly aching from overeating during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We now move into the final stretch as we put the wraps on 2011 and pop the cork on 2012. The final stop of the DSG Mogan Tour is coming up, announcements about new items are in the works and we need to crown the King of Best Fishing Show.

Cast your vote! It's that time of year again when The Sportsman Channel awards the best in TV programming for the year. Competition for The Sportsman Awards are well underway and AF needs your vote to be named Best Fishing Show of 2011. Vote today! You could win a trip to Vegas to be at the Sportsman Awards in January when they announce the winners.

The AF Crew is rolling down to Ft. Myers later this month. We want to see all of our S.W. Florida Maniacs at Dick’s Sporting Goods on December 11th. The whole gang will be there on the last stop of the 2011 Mogan Tour. We'll be taking donations for Project Snook and handing out FREE stuff. The Mogan Man will be doing his thing – signing autographs, posing for pictures and just hanging out telling fish stories. Ask him how he catches fish from his tree stand!

Traveling this holiday season? Are you taking your fishing rod with you? Most holiday travelers suffer the dilemma of choosing between packing their favorite fishing rod or that present for Grandma. It never fails, Grandma wins every time. Now, you can pack the gifts and still have room for your Blair Wiggins Signature Series rod with the Flats Blue Travel Rod. This 3-piece rod was designed to have the action and strength of a 1-piece rod. Don't miss out on slipping in a fishing trip during your Christmas vacation! Stay tuned for important promotional news from Wright & McGill coming this holiday season.

Trout fishing in Tampa Bay is on fire! The trout season is closed until the first of the year but anglers like James Parker are enjoying some catch & release action as bigger fish move into the shallows. James adds that he has been catching a lot of big redfish too. Thanks for the report, James. You're our Mogan of the Week!
