Many thanks to everyone who have reviewed and enjoyed both Hooked and Aftermath. The kind reviews have been overwhelming and yes, the screenplay is in development now. Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, hopefully by late fall or after the new year the project will be completed. The screenplay is based on both books and is busting with humor, and all the blessings that come from the Magnolia Tree.
Thanks again everyone. Tight Lines, Good reads and good eats!
I just finished this book and it is fantastic. It's written the best way a story can be told, so that it captures the reader and won't let them put it down. Jim's life and adventures are compelling and uplifting; as the stories are told in these pages, the reader is drawn in and can easily visualize what's happening and even picture themselves in similar situations. Totally believable, funny (at times hilarious and borderline nuts!), Jim's adventures in his everyday life make us want to know him personally and hang with him. For sure, there would never be boredom! It's funny, while one of the take-aways is that while Jim Baugh has had a great time in his life, the other is that he has worked hard for his fun. As a long-time boating magazine writer and publisher, I only wish I could write this way. Loved it and will definitely look forward to reading more from Mr. Baugh!
WOW! What an arrival! It has been around 20 years since our
last visit to this beautiful waterfront area. On arrival the sun was shining,
the fish were biting, and the fryer was hot!
I checked into the new Island Inn and Suites on St Georges Island and immediately
fell in love with the accommodations. What a GREAT view of the Potomac! This place is on an island so you are waterfront
on BOTH sides of the facility. Right next door, actually in the same parking
lot is an awesome seafood restaurant called the Ruddy Duck. If you like fresh
seafood, this is the place. What can I say, just arriving I was happy as a duck in water.
Our first filming for Rockfish started early the next
morning. We are currently fishing the trophy season and yes we have already
caught a trophy. A Fat 41 inch Rockfish
only to be followed up by a slot fish. The second Rock landed was a robust 38
inch fish. Hard to throw that big of a Rockfish back, but we did. For our first
day of fishing that morning we hooked into one more monster but could not get
him to the boat. The weather turned, and then it was time for the ride back to
port.
Captain Phil and his son provided a great charter and we so appreciated
the captain for putting s on such big fish. We are hoping for a return trip
later in the week to film more Striped Bass.
41 inch hog!!!
JBO TV has been filming many attractions in the St. Mary’s
County area, one of which is the Potomac River Maritime Exhibit. This is a must
see while here as well as the lighthouse and welcome center. Did you know that
there is a German U boat sunk right within sight of the Piney Point Lighthouse?
The exhibit at the center is fascinating and we filmed some great footage of
the exhibit for JBOTV.
Well only half way filming on this trip and I think I found
“Nirvana” for my beautiful wife Donna. Yes, a Bed & Breakfast Winery. How
Cool!! We visited Woodlawn and it really took our breath away. A gorgeous
historic B & B featuring their own wine called Slack. We tasted some and bringing a couple of bottles back home.
Excellent stuff!! This place sets right on the Potomac
and it is just gorgeous.

This week we are packing our gear and headed on a return
trip to one of our favorite destinations, St. Mary’s County Maryland. This
historic area has over 500 miles of shoreline and is cradled between the
Potomac, & Patuxent Rivers as well as the Chesapeake Bay. With five water based state parks and St. Mary’s
rich history there is simply a ton of things to see and do. This center point
on the Bay offers everything a boater and fishing enthusiast could ask for.
This will be our third filming out of St Mary’s however our
first in over 20 years. There has been a lot going on at St. Mary’s since our
last visit and we are looking forward to filming lots of new attractions and
see what’s “Cookin” as well.
We will have JBOTV on location reports next week here on the
JBOTV Blog site and post on social media as well. Our fishing and boating segment
will be on Sunday and will have all the info posted by Monday morning, so stay
tuned.
Tight Lines! Jim Baugh
