Deluge

We are getting pounded here at JBO Central. With rain like this I am gonna line um up two by two! A lot of the area is flooded and none of it is tidal, all rain. Hard to believe. It has been raining since Sunday and it does not look like it will stop until tonight. Many business are closed today as well as schools, even the local affiliate tv station lost power this morning.

This does NOT help the fishing. The water is gonna be very stained and it will be a week before the James River clears up. (Well, as clear as the James can get)

Best bet would be to use high contrast colored lures for the upcoming opening of Rockfish season. Live bait as well. The Hampton River is full up with baitfish. One cast is all you need for hundreds of Shad.

There is a flood warning posted for most of our region and tornado watches as well.

I am putting extra lines on the Go Green Fishing Machine, then jump on my Go Green Storm Chaser Bike and go take storm pictures at the beach. Wave!! I will be the one wearing swimming trunks and a Columbia shirt with a Chocolate Lab swimming behind me that answers to Tina Turner.

Boy, I miss summer.

Be careful out there and stay off the water. Gail warning for today. Good day to check out our new recipe blog.

Wish a Fish Foundation is Awesome! Not only for children with special needs, but for their families as well.

We had a ball filming a show with the Wish a Fish foundation over the weekend. Just a great group of kids that were so excited about catching fish! The kids may have special needs, one of them is more bait because these kids can catch fish!!!!! The pictures say it all. So does the Wish a Fish mission statement.

"Mission Statement: The Wish-A-Fish Foundation's mission is to provide a little relief for a family from the daily stress of having a child with “special needs” such as a life-threatening illness, or a mental or physical disability, by taking the entire family out for a day of fun and fishing on the water.

For more info. just log on to the Wish a Fish site at
http://www.wish-a-fish.org/
We hope you will support Wish a Fish, one worthy cause for sure!!
The show we filmed will air during our 2011 series.

A BIG thanks to All Bunnel for everything he has done for hundreds of families. Also we would like to thank and support a great fishing charter, the Sally T!!!! call them and tell them Jim sent ya! 757-515-3051 Captain PETE as you can see is ON THE FLOUNDER, SPOT, and TROUT BIG TIME. Book a trip NOW while the bite is on!!!!

We will be filming again with Captain Pete during Rockfish season and even do a cooking segment on the head boat. A new fall Rockfish recipe. Captain Pete is on the fish, a great captain and crew. Book today! And take a kid fishing!

Back in the water!! WITH Fresh stabil fuel

The Go Green Fishing Machine just finished some service work and got a complete oil change. Everything got a good once over fresh fuel and stabilizer. She is running great!!

One thing to keep in mind that the less fuel your boat burns, the longer it stays in the tank. So do use fuel stabilizers especially ones that are designed to help combat the issues with ethanol. We will be talking a LOT about this on our show throughout the year.

The spot and Flounder bite is on big time, and the offshore bite off of Hatteras has been unreal. We will be heading there next week to film monster Dolphin and Whites.

Tomorrow, we are filming a show promoting Wish a Fish Foundation, we will report on the trip afterwards.

Tight Lines!!!!

Spot Bite is on!

We will have the Go Green Fishing Machine back in the water later this week. Already the big Spot are back in our post summer fishing holes. We will be after them and some nice Flounder on Thursday filming for our 2011 series on the Sportsman Channel.

Hurrican Earl left us with little damage and a mixed up ocean offshore, however the inshore bite is darn good right now.

Happy Labor Day!!

GGFM Fishing Report, August 2010

We are still catching nice Croakers in the pound and a half to two pound range however they are a bit shallow. Usually we will find them in deeper water around 40 feet this time of year. Now, 13 feet of water is producing some nice fish, and lots of them.

Flounder bite is still good however keepers are tuff to come by. You can catch all you want for release around the Bar channel ledge all the way down to the MM Tunnel.

Afternoons on top: The Spanish have shown up along the beaches of little creek. Fish a moving tide and our fav. rig is small top water birdies with a trailer. This bait has a lot of action on top and the Spanish just love it.

For a trip a little further up river, the Catfish bite is on and we will be filming a Blue Catfish show later this week.

Spades are still at the Fourth!! Try a lesser moving tide and fresh clams.

Tight Lines, and happy summer!

New 2011 JBO TV feature filmed today at the CBBT, High Rise.

Today we had the pleasure of filming with Captain Dale Carlson on board the Jeanie Lee. A great boat, and a great crew. Our guest was JBO TV regulars for the past 22 years, all on one show. Joe Dudley, Captain Mike Wilburn, and Captain Earl Williams.

We started off quick catching some keeper Flounder and Bluefish. We then moved off to catch Spadefish off of the fourth island.
Was a great day of summer time fishing. I highly recommend booking a trip today and get on the bite.

At the end of the trip, on the way in, we spoted and fished for three Cobia, one was in the 40 pound class. Great fish, we will get um next time.

Thanks GUYS!!!!!!

Heat Wave Recipe for a 109 degree day TUNA GYRO'S!!

Recipe: Blackened Yellowfin Tuna and Grilled Shrimp Gyro’s with Beefsteak Tomato relish and Greek Tzatziki Sauce.

Chesapeake Angler Magazine Aug-Sept Issue. JBO TV Feature

The summer of 2010 has been a hot one for sure. When we experienced those stretches of 100 to 110 degree days, most of what I craved was our swimming pool. That pool has certainly seen my arse just about every day during July, it has been a blessing. Probably my favorite summer time dish that I love to make and everyone just goes crazy for it, is homemade seafood Gyro’s. This is a very healthy, light, and super tasty treat that can be served with a variety of fillings. So, lets get started!! Time for a “Pita Party”!!

Home Made Pita Bread Recipe:

First up, take two cups of AP Flour and one cup of whole-wheat flour and place in a mixing bowl. Add two teaspoons of salt, 1\4 cup of olive oil and a 1\4 cup of honey. One package of fast rise yeast, and one cup of warm water. Mix in mixer for several minutes then place dough on a floured granite surface and knead for about five minutes. Let dough rise in an olive oil coated bowl for two hours, or double in size.

Then, knead the dough again and cut the dough into about 13-15 two inch round balls. Place them on a floured pan, and let rest for another 15 minutes. Then roll the balls out on a floured surface, and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into oval shapes about 8 to 10 inches in width.

I like to use a grill, it is easy and can crank heat up to 500 degrees plus. Get the grill to 500, and be sure to have a Pizza stone on the grill. This is the surface of which you will cook the bread.

Using a pizza peel, place the rolled out dough on the pizza stone for only about three minutes, or until it gets puffy and brown. Flip the bread over for another couple of minutes, or until brown, take off the grill and place in large covered bowl to keep moist while cooking the rest of the pita bread.

You will be AMAZED at how good this Pita bread is, you will want to have it on hand all the ime!

Beefsteak Tomato Pepper Relish:
I use locally grown large beefsteak tomatoes and my own grown peppers. Just cut vegetables and place in a bowl and add half cup of red wine vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, a little sea salt, cracked pepper and fresh oregano. Mix, and chill in fridge. Simple recipe, and good on anything!!

Greek Tzatziki Sauce:
Two cucumbers sliced and seeded place in food processor with two large cloves of Elephant Garlic. Blend for one minute. Then add two tubs of plain yogurt, salt, white pepper, one fresh squeezed lemon and three tbls of dill. I also add a little fresh spicy oregano. Once blended, chill for several hours or overnight.

Seafood: I used our fresh Yellowfin Tuna and Shrimp seasoned woith a little blackened seasoning, fresh lemon and lime and grill at 350 degrees. I put the Shrimp on skewers because it is very easy to cook and handle them on the grill this way. Cook until done, then set aside and keep warm.

SERVE IT UP!!
This part is very easy. First, place some of the seafood into a fresh folded pita bread, next top it off with the Greek Sauce, lastly, put on some of the beefsteak tomato relish and serve.

One FANTASTIC light cools and very tasty summer dish.
Have yourself a “Pita Party”, it will be one you wont soon forget!

Chow! And do yourself a favor, get a Suzuki today!
