Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!!

Thursday, 27th
Hello everybody, and hope your enjoying a great Thanksgiving holiday. We do love to cook up a storm on Jim Baugh Outdoors TV, and we certainly do not hold back at Thanksgiving. Sooooo- Here is a little bit about our cooking day yesterday. I am not much on deserts, so I will skip those, lets get straight to the meat of the matter. (Uncle Bill Pictured doing the Turkey Dunk)

Fried Turkey All total we fried two injected Turkeys and one marinated Chicken. We injected the birds with hot sauce, garlic, and herbs. One of the birds was 14 pounds, which was a little bigger than we like to fry, but it worked out ok. 50 minutes in the fryer and she was done!

Smoked Turkey, Smoked Brisket, and Pork stuffed Game Hens

All of the above we did on Uncle Bills smoker. The Turkey (almost 20 pounder) went on at 6am along with the Brisket. The smoker was chocked full of fresh water soaked Hickory wood and cooked at 225 untill 6pm Thanksgiving day. The Cornish Game Hens we stuffed with Captain Earls Hickory smoked BBQ and then smoked the Hens for about four hours. Everything turned out fantastic, and the different gravies included a red hot Carolina sauce, and a standard Turkey gravey.
We wanted to do Oyster stuffing, but could not find Oysters anywhere, was a bit bummed about that!

Over the hills and threw the woods-

L A N D I N G!! in the Blue Ridge Mountains to see family and friends. Quick stop off to Smith Mountain Lake to see how the Striper population is doing, then head on to see one of our regular JBO TV Guest, Captain Earl Williams. Captain Earl has just opened up "Captains Choice BBQ" on 460 in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Earl has promised this to be the best BBQ in the state of Virginia, and I have no doubt it will be.

Then off to Roanoke to see my daughter Casey and of course Uncle Bill and his variety of grills! I think he now has about four, one of them is a trailer that can be towed anywhere. We will of course have the Turkey fryer filled to the brim, and will cook up about five fresh birds. I plan on smoking one bird with Oyster stuffing.

Ben Baugh and Tina Turner will be spending Thanksgiving in Washington Sate, and look forward to seeing them both during Christmas. "Have a good one son and send us some more white water pics!"

Thanksgiving Recipe-Turkey and Stuffing, JB Style: Stuffing-A great way to do stuffing is to stuff the bird with Oysters and stuffing, and once done, pat out the stuffing into patties and put them back on the grill to smoke for another half hour. Served up with some gravy, this is really hard to beat. I will usually smoke the bird and the stuffing for about eight hours.Turkey- Use an injector and make up a good hot sauce, Durkeys\Franks hot sauce -10 ounces, and five ounce of apple cider vinegar. Inject one side of the bird with this, and the other with a Soy and Honey glaze. A 12 pound bird will take about 45 min. in the Turkey fryer.
Beer But Chicken- This is my daughter Casey's fav, she has already called me today to make sure we were making some. Simple to do while the Turkey is smoking on the Grill. Just get a Beer Butt stand, Lowe's has them, they are only a couple of bucks. I use half a can of beer, the rest vinegar, garlic, and hot sauce. Stuff the chicken with the beer can and let it stand on the grill with the chicken stand. Your favorite dark beer is best for this dish.

I would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving Holiday, and this does truly mark the beginning of our Rockfish season. Most of December Jim Baugh Outdoors TV will be filming everyday trying for those monster ocean Rocks.
Yall come join us!! Dont forget the Hampton downtown lighted boat parade is Dec. 6th, and the Jim Baugh Rockfish Holiday fishing tourney is Dec. 13th, same day as Bluewaters Rock event.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and drive safe.
If you see a Mag Red 04- C5 Vette flying overhead while on the road this week, wave!!

We Have A Winner!!

Yesterdays Get Hooked On Hampton Rockfish Tourney did not let us down, yes, it blew again this year. Gain warnings the previous night until 6am, and a small craft advisory all day. Five foot seas in the Bay, and the wind chill factor was 200 degrees below zero! Well, that is what it felt like.

To add to their excitement, the bite was off big time. The ocean fish just were not there yet. So the big win was a three pound fish caught by the third island by Andy Simmons on board the Clare Skys. I got to hand it to this team, they braved some mighty tuff conditions!

Their prize was one Suzuki four stroke 2.5 HP engine, brand new and in the box. Also they received the double DVD Jim Baugh Outdoors TV year end set, and the new Max King Reelin and Eelin DVD.

Congratulations guys, sorry for such bad weather. Next up, the Jim Baugh Rockfish Holiday Dec. 13. This is the same day as the Bluewater Tourney, fish them both! Ours has no entry fee. Just bring your fish to Sunset Boating Center by 4pm. We will have more prizes from Suzuki! We would like to thank Suzuki for continuing to support our tournaments and we sure will be hoping for better weather on the 13th.

Thanks April for showing up and keeping me and the Ducks company during weigh in. Hand feeding our Hampton Ducks is a lot of fun, but "not so much" when it's 20 degrees. LOL

Now after yesterdays chill off, I am going to make a pot of spaghetti.

Hatteras Surf Fishing Tournament
It is that time of year again! JBO TV will be heading down to Hatteras to film the latest in surf fishing rigs with Captain Earl Williams. We will be shooting Wed. and Thur. on the surf the day before the official tournament. JBO TV features surf fishing every season and it is a great and inexpensive way to catch a load of fish. We will also be fishing off of the bridge for night time monster Rockfish later in December.

Fishing report: The bite at the James River Bridge and West, has been off. The warm weather has kept a lot of the migratory fish from heading up the river. There is always resident fish and chunking at the MM tunnel is a great and easy way to catch them. If you want to catch Rockfish this time of year guaranteed- go night fishing at the HRBT and fish the light line. As long as there is a good moving tide, you can catch Rockfish, Trout, and Bluefish until your coolers are full. This fishing hole is only minutes from the Downtown Hampton waterfront and artificials is all you need.

River Rat

We have a hard time keeping the boy dry!! Was not long out in Washington State before Ben Baugh found some white water. Now, he called and said he is studying his behind off, and the classes in his masters program are a real bear. He sent me these pics, this must be during study break, ya think??

I have had a lot of people ask me how Tina Turner Baugh is doing out there, Ben says she is in heaven. They have a doggie door at the house so the dogs come and go as they please, and the yard has a large fence around it to keep the beast contained. Tina is an outdoor dog for sure, and has probably chased every squirrel out of the surrounding five mile area!

FISHING REPORT OFFSHORE MID ATLANTIC.

The word is GOOD! Jim Baugh Outdoors is on standby, we will get the call and meet out for some awesome Yellowfin Tuna fishing. The Blackfin bite was hot, and the Yellowfins are now starting to gather. We will give full reports of our trip and post pics here. We will also be heading out for some more King Mackerel fishing next week, reports will be posted here as well.

Stay tuned

Hauled for Rockfish

We have the Pursuit hauled out at Sunset Boating Center complete with a fresh new bottom paint job. We are doing some maintenance on her including new power trim and tilt on the Suzuki's, also we had the Radar rewired with new cabling. Also some other small projects, like new raw water wash down pump and house freshwater pump.

She is ready to go back in the water any day now, just in time for this years Rockfish season.

The reports on Rockfish were a little light this weekend. One angler I know chunked the MM tunnel and caught quite a few. The early season is always productive chunking around the pilings at the MM. The Spot bite is still hot, the larger fish seem to be around the HRBT in deeper water. Nothing else taste quite as good as fried Spot! We will be heading out again this week to produce a show on the fall Spot fishing.

Tight lines, happy Rockfish season!

Nasty Noreaster

Yesterday was quite the day. I had jumped in the truck and went to check the Trojan at Customs House Marina, and also our Suzuki\Hampton Show Boat to prepare for strong winds and one mean tide. The rain was something, pounding!! After securing everything, I headed to Buckroe Beach to try and get some shots of the storm. It did not take long before the streets were flooded, and felt it was high time to return to JBO Central. So, that is what I did, parked the truck, and started checking things out around our docks making sure everything was secure.

Then I decided to jump on my trusty JBO three speed beach cruiser with my waterproof Pelican case, and see just how flooded the waterfront area was. To my surprise, the old beach cruiser did rather well in the water, at one point, I may have been in three feet or so. I never stopped peddling, and got threw most of the water alright.

The storm and wind hit at high tide, so things did get a bit flooded. This morning all was returned to normal, just in time for the Neptune Festival at Virginia Beach!!

See ya there!

Farewell to a friend, Dennis Nate

We lost a good man this past week. Dennis Nate passed away at 55 years of age on Thursday Sept 18th. He is survived by his daughter, Margaret "Maggie" Grace Nate of Yorktown; a sister, Catherine Driscoll and her husband, Daniel, of Newport News; two brothers, Daniel G. Nate and his wife, Barbara, of Woodberry Heights, N.J., and David F. Nate and his wife, Teresa, of Wenonah, N.J. Also survived by several nieces and nephews and friends.

I knew Dennis before he was the Dockmaster at the Riverwalk in Yorktown Virginia. Dennis did a lot of work in downtown Hampton working with events and help me put on the Get Hooked On Hampton Rockfish Tourney. Dennis also had a great voice, and I recorded his voice overs for several TV ads on our Trojan production vessel. Dennis was also a welcome sight for a long time as he worked the popular Sunday night crowed behind the bar at Maker 20 while David Carter entertained. Dennis could serve up a mean cocktail, but Dennis never touched a drop at any time during the years that I knew him.

Dennis was just a great guy who was liked by everyone, and he was doing a great job in Yorktown at the riverwalk. All those new docks under the bridge in Yorktown with all the shops, restaurants, and festivities- Dennis helped make it all happen. He was more than just a Dockmaster. He was great at putting on events, and had been doing it for a long while. Dennis was largely responsible for bringing to Yorktown such popular historical ships as the Kalmar Nyckel

So long Dennis, Hampton and Yorktown Virginia won't be the same without ya! You will be truly missed.

God Bless

Memorials may be made in memory of Dennis to Riverwalk Go Green C/O Treasure of York, P.O. Box 532, Yorktown, VA 23690.

Washington State- Ben Baughs Trek Across the USA

Hello everyone!
My son Ben Baugh and Tina Turner Baugh gathered up their belongings and jam packed the Bambler (Ben's Jeep) to make their way across the USA.

Washington State is where Ben will be studying for his Masters Degree in Geology. Ben also took along his good friend Eric to help with the drive, leaving from Hampton, then Richmond, then West Virginia, the Bambler crew first headed to Chicago. When Ben called me from Chicago, the first thing I ask him was if he had yet to try the deep dish pizza. He said it was the first thing he tried when he arrived. FANTASTIC! Bens sister Casey, who is starting her sophmore year in college, and I are BIG Pizza fans!

The boys and Tina loved Chicago and stayed there several days. Continuing on their cross country journey took them to Denver Colorado, Utah, Portland, and of course, Washington State. (top two pictures) I was pretty floored when Ben sent me the pictures. The mountain ranges are just unreal.

I am very much looking forward to heading out there and fishing with Ben on the Puget Sound! We certainly will take the cameras and film our catch for sure.

Ben, Eric and Tina made it to the University safely, and they have been busy getting set up. Ben did all the planning for the cross country trip, and stayed with friends he knows pretty much the entire time. I don't think they stayed in a hotel even once.

These are just a few pics of their journey,

hope you enjoy.

Congratulations Son on starting your masters degree, and don't forget to give Tina a bath at least twice a week.
