Guys
Just a heads up to tune into Addictive Fishing TV the end of August. Check your listings as the show airs on Fox and SUN and see his site for other stations. I had the pleasure to invite Capt. Blair Wiggins up to fish the Western LI Sound, NY with me. We fished Mid-June for Striped Bass and had fish to 31 pounds.

We fished a few ways and this being his first trip to the Big Apple was exciting as we stalked the bunker schools at dawn and then we set up and chunked once the Bunkers went down. He brought his wife and son and got to see NY by boat and by land.

Here is a photo of a typical fish we caught on chunks whereas the bigger fish ate the live bunker. This is in front of Execution Lighthouse...I hope you enjoy the show

I can't see the pic, but it sounds very cool! Is that the show that is usually in Florida? cool show.

Yes, that is the show out of Florida. Sorry about the photo, I'll figure that out someday LOL....We had a good time, caught a lot of fish until boat traffic was literally right on top of us. We had guys trying to anchor opposite the way all the other boats were drifting...you just shake your head LOL....I hope you enjoy the show as there were plenty of "Bruthas" being dropped.

Matt -

Blair Wiggins is out of the Space Coast Area -- Cape Canaveral on the East Coast ... fishes the Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River and inlets around Canaveral ... it's great fishing there ... but his show also goes around the state of Florida mostly ... and it does run on Fox and Sun (which is a Florida based station), I recently saw it somewhere on television, not sure which channel, but he was fishing outside of Canaveral with Captain Rodney Smith also of the region, they were fishing bait on spinning outfits for giant tarpon during the run ... he's a good fisherman ... I guess it's only a matter of time before the television shows that fish Florida and the Bahamas and the Caribbean, etc. start to come up here ... glad he was able to get some good fishing.
