Our first look at Cedar Key Florida.

JBO TV will be doing a lot of work over the summer in Florida, currently finishing editing our anniversary specials and beginning to film for our 2015 season. I also am here writing the second edition of HOOKED and working on the screenplay. Donna and I also have various columns we are writing to be published later in August. Other big news soon to come out of our summer adventures.

Cedar Key was totally Donna's idea. She had researched this place over two years ago and she had thought about even moving here. I have done a lot of filming in Florida over the years so a trip anywhere in the state always makes it a bit easier to film our southern Florida fishing and boating stories. I have never been to this location so I was all up for it and what a treat!! This place is REALLY authentic, probably a lot like the Florida Keys in the early days.

Today was the first day I could really get out and check out some sights. I jumped on my go green bike and toured the Island and what a hoot it was. Below are some pics of just biking around for a couple hours.

The first pic is something that is really cool. I ask the local ranger if that was a storm cloud approaching and he said now. They call it a “Sundog”. When the circumstances are just right the sun reflects against the clouds and turns them a brilliant orange color, and this was in the middle of the day. I used a polarizing lens on the camera which really helped to see the effect.

Below are some other pics of my first trip to Cedar Key peddling along the Gulf Coast.

 One of the coolest bike trail ever!!

Way cool! Biking along the Gulf.

Celebrating Jim Baugh Outdoors 25 years we are introducing a new segment to our program. “Lure of the Shore” hosted by Donna Bozza will be an outdoor travel and entertainment feature in each program. Donna is an award-winning writer with thousands of articles published throughout her career. Her long-standing experience in the field of outdoor marketing, writing and publishing will be a huge asset to our program that already has a strong history in outdoor features.


Her love affair with words turned professional with 6 years as a journalist with the Eastern Shore News. Followed by a successful career as a freelance writer for regional/national newspapers and magazines covering a broad range of subject matter, she later specialized in regional travel as a contributing writer with Chesapeake Life Magazine. Recognition’s include an International Regional Magazine Award and Virginia Press Association Award. With a detour to Destination Marketing, Donna Bozza   became the first Tourism Director for Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Under her leadership the region held the highest percentage increase in tourism revenue in Virginia and she was recognized with the Rising Star Leadership Award from the Virginia Association of Convention and Visitors Bureau. 
Donna’s first program features will be “Lure of the Shore Coastal Virginia”. Donna and I will also be collaborating on various articles promoting different outdoor travel and activities. We recently produced in collaboration a feature on the Outer Banks. A good read with quite a few laughs for sure.

Donna also has a new COASTIN' web site that will feature many articles, columns, and a really cool section called "Beach House" featuring everything Beachy Keen....yes, she can decorate!
