@RainingSushi Fort Desoto Park in St. Petersburg, Florida

Awesome catching there man!!!!

Awesome fishing in my own home waters

I live in the Tampa bay area and it's good fishing for black drum and sheephead in winter

awesome redfish im goin redfishing soon and ive caught a 12lb grass carp

CA lookin clean cut here

@MrRicktampa We haven't on the show, but my producer fishes there all the time.

@Vortes Right now, go to the Ft. Desoto pier, catch some pass crabs and float them out under a cork for monster tarpon.

I was just in Clearwater last week fishing on honeymoon island

@AddictiveFishing hey Captain Blair, I noticed the Skyway bridge in the background and I live in the area. I was wondering where these flat waters are specifically. I don't have a boat but I would like to go out to a place like this to wade at least!

was that the sky way bridge ? and where u guys are would a 24ft pontoon boat b able to go in the flats like in this episode ? or would it spook the fish ?

Can't wait to go to Clearwater, Florida and fish off of pier 60. Anyone know of any good hard baits to use there?

How do you guys get the underwater shots of the fish as your reeling them in?! Ive always wondered!

Hey Blair i live in Washington you should come to the Columbia river here and catch some sturgeon they will give you a big shocker

do u ever fish around the st.marks carabelle region?

ok i found it on google maps... thanks i appreciate it... are there any other places around the area where i might find a good cobia bite? and what are some lures you would suggest over at archie creek?

Fish under the bridge by the Emerald Grande resort and you will catch bull reds . . . make sure your bait is on the bottom.

@baseballa839 Try Archies Creek at high tide . . . it's very close to Davis Island. Redfish and snook live there.

Hey Blair, i am gettng the sabalos 3500, and would a 7,6 redbone work. And what size braid would you suggest. Thanks

What size hook did you use for the red fish and cobia? I was just at Chokoloskee (thousand islands area) and fished up TONS of catfish and a few bonnetheads, however there was this ONE monster cobia that got away from me but after 2 mins of fighting the hook just came out. :(

Ok good for you

@saltwaterfishingboy Sweet . . . we are talking about going to Texas this year. Maybe you can come out and meet us?

Hello Captian, I was wondering if you could give me any tips on kayak fishing on the tampa bay flats? I have your flats blue rod with a size 3000 Sabalos reel, Im a big fan.

Hey capt, ever fished in Naples fl? And if so, catch anything?

Hey Capt Blair whens the next time your gonna fish tarpon springs FL? I fish north anclote a lot where u were sight fishing snook and the gulf harbors area. I fish that deeper ledge a lot on north anclote and let my bait drift through, besides grunts and croakers whats a good bait to use at that depth thatll gurantee me fish?

there are a few 3 and 5 mile reefs, no wrecks though. i usually fish the 10 or 20 mile reefs though, although i caught my biggest red at sandkey park, 22 pounds and then a 15 pounder

Hey im headed down to tampa bay tomorrow and I will be there for 8 days and im looking to hook some reds, trouts, and snooks, I will mostly be fishing from shore so what do you recommend for lures or bait, I was thinking of trying a d.o.a deadly combo rig with the shrimp in white, and I have some spooks with green on the back and white on the bottom do you have any reccomendations for lures??

do you have any tips on bluefish fishing on the hudson? if you know any great lures please send me the link or what there called

hey what reel were u using

@Trashprotecters D.O.A. shrimp, D.O.A. CAL lures & jigheads, D.O.A. baitbusters, MirrOlure MirrOdines, D.O.A. swimming mullet & D.O.A. Deadly Combo

you do any fishing around destin, or fort walton beach do you have any suggestions of a good place for reds in fort walton? i just caught a 21 inch speckled trout in fort walton with a 6 inch finger mullet i wanna catch a red i saw a monster 3 foot one right at my dock but he would not bite what should i use for bait?

are there any flat spots like these in charlotte harbor im renting a boat for my birthday the 29th sep thanks!

what reel were u using

when I try to cast my line doesnt go very far should I use a heavier weight / bait? live shrimp is my current bait... I guess 3/16 weight is not enough. Using a Shakespeare Alpha rod from Wall-mart.

for other lures or rigs??

is this near clearwater beach ? i ussally go fishing in fort de soto and clearwater beach.. but i really never get anything just maybe tiny trout and mostly pinfish -__- lol but blair do you know any good places to fish in clearwater fl area ? for reds and trout ? thanks

I caught a cobia on a D.O.A shrimp last year

hi capt blair, i just bought my first boat and i was wondering if you have been fishing near clearwater, fl? I go under the gulf blvd bridge which is near sand key park. Do you know any good wrecks or reefs (fishing spots) up to 5 or 6 miles? much appreciated.

There are a lot of prop scars in many areas of Tampa Bay. One of the worst areas I have seen is outside of Robinson's Preserve. I would not be surprised if we end up like the east coast lagoon.

@baginskiyd We just got back from fishing the Columbia River . . . look for a NEW sturgeon clip in the coming weeks.

Is 12 15 pound line good

what reel werte u using

hey captain blair i am a tampa resident of davis island and have boat access to all the tampa hot spots.... unfortunately the only success i ever have fishing is wading at mac dill air force base out in the flats for reds and small trout in the inlets... i was wondering if you could fill me in on some tampa spots that you have had success at and what you used in those spots... i noticed you said fort desoto park and i will try that out... any suggestions? maybe something around davis island?

Yes it is I like 20 or 15

@AddictiveFishing ok thanks did you get a chance to fish for salmon

Capt Blair can you catch cobes on the wrecks in Tampa

@cadillac2003cts We have never done a show in Naples. If I'm that far south, I usually go to Marco Island or Chokolosky.

10lb to 15lb FINS Windtamer of XS is the best.

Silver Mullet

prop scars are all over in the very upper tampa bay Mobley creek and most are crabbers that i see.

whats the closest to shore u can catch cobia?

14:00 huge school of fish, not redfish, but mullet.

should have gotten the sting ray instead! also, 1st!

@baseballa839 Cobia is not a targetable fish in Tampa Bay. You can catch one if you see one. Throw DOA CAL paddletails at Archies creek.

@nlim001 why would you want a ray?

Blair Wiggins vs C.A. Richardson, their home waters, best 2 redfish wins, with a bonus trout?

search for "Stars & Stripers" on our page.

Thats like asking mark nichols what brand lure he prefers

you should make some how to videos

You guys take forever to get to your goddamned point.

Too many ads.

RU-vid has almost exclusively taken the place of my TV watching, largely because i can avoid the ad interruptions. Until the ad interruptions finally take over RU-vid, which they no doubt will, No more Addictive Fishing for me. It's too much like TV, and while your content is OK; for now, you have too much uninterrupted competition that is just as good, for me to have my fishing fun interrupted several times per video.
