Go Virginia Green with some excellent Hampton Clam Chowder!

Hi folks, we would like to invite everyone to check out our new "Go Green" Eco-Friendly lifestyle web site at jimbaughoutdoors.com. The first phase is up and running. We are also glad to announce that in our home base port of Hampton Va both the Hampton Roads Convention Center and the Hampton Convention and Visitors Bureau are certified Virginia Green. http://www.hamptoncvb.com/go/visitors

Today, we were very excited to feature the first Virginia Green Certified restaurant in Hampton, the Coffee House in Phoebus!

We did a story there today that featured Hampton Clam Chowder, and it was about the best I ever had. The restaurant is one of the prettiest you will ever see and is centrally located in Phoebus, just down from the Virginia Theater.

Look for upcoming recipes from today's shoot in Travel Virginia Magazine in the May-June issue, "Vacations". The Coffee House is not only Virginia Green certified, but the food is awesome, made to order, fresh baked breads, and even a nice wine list. It is also on the Jim Baugh Outdoors Eco-Bike tour!!

We will be having more info about the Jim Baugh Outdoors "Go Green Fishing Machine" soon, so check back here soon!. Jim B

The Coffee House is also on FACEBOOK, look for daily specials

Here are just some of the ways The Coffee House has become Green and Eco-Friendly

*They reduced use of plastic cleaner bottles by installing a bulk concentrate system using green cleaning products.
*They compost coffee grounds, and offer customers grounds for their home compost pile.
*They do not use any Styrofoam products. All paper products are at least 50% post consumer recycled materials.
*Their recycle container is twice the size of our garbage. Recycling mostly cardboard and glass, but will recycle anything that they can.
*They use compact fluorescent bulbs everywhere we can. (CFL's)
*Most sinks are motion activated faucets and have motion activated paper towel dispensers. *Toilets are low flow.
*Most of our vendors are also green.

Art of the Decoy-Hampton History Museum

Yesterday I had the pleasure of filming the new exhibit \ gallery at the Hampton History Museum called "Art of the Decoy". This is presented from February 27-August 31, 2009, in cooperation with the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum. The gallery is on the second floor of the Museum and is a must see for any Decoy enthusiast. I have included just a few pics here today. You may contact the Hampton History Museum at 757 727 1610 or log on to the web at http://www.hampton1610.com/contactus_hhm.cfm

The Hampton History Museum is in close proximity to many, many excellent downtown attractions. Starting May 9th, don't forget to come by this years Downtown Farmers Market. The Farmers Market is scheduled every Saturday beginning May 9th through October 31st in Carousel Park, 8 a.m. - 12 noon. Come out and enjoy fresh local produce, seafood, fresh cut flowers and herbs, homemade pies, jams and preserves, crafts and more. Look for the Downtown Hampton booth and purchase an environmentally friendly "Market Bag" to carry your goodies home.

I like this Farmers market because it is located right on the water, downtown by the Carousel Virginia Air and Space Center, the New Crowne Plaza Hotel, and there is also a great new coffee shop that has just opened up. All along the waterfront in Downtown Hampton by the Farmers Market!

The "Art of the Decoy" exhibit will last threw August 31st, so be sure to check it out while your in Hampton!

See ya on the water. Tog bite is on!!

Miami International Boat Show-Suzuki

Hi Folks. The Miami International Boat Show was once again something to be seen. One of the largest boat shows in the world. We had the pleasure of filming the Suzuki in water booth and have a great shot her of the new 90 hp four strokes. This one was rigged with twins. We Will be running a single 90hp on the "Go Green Fishing Machine". We are in the process of getting this new show bat rigged and ready for shooting. An awesome boat that will not even cost 20 bucks a day to fish out of!! We will have much more on this rig later, including performance test etc.

We headed down to the keys to film some Kings, but the bite was a bit soft. Ended up trying to get some nice sunset footage by water in front of Key West, just in time for the biggest fog front I have ever seen. This was some thick stuff to! So, we are staying another day in Key Largo getting some footage, and then back to West Palm and Hampton.

Whats been biting while we are gone??

Jim Baugh Outdoors reported and featured an offshore deep bottom trip with Captain Jim Before we left for Miami. The trip was fantastic.The Bite now though, has just gotten unreal!!! MONSTER GROUPER!!! Check out these pics.

If you have not booked a trip yet with Captain Jim, do it today while the bite it is on! Check below for all his info.

We'll see guys---

It is that time again! The Vette just got back from the shop for her complete check out before making the journey southbound. This year I will be attending the Miami International Boat show and film the Suzuki Booth, the Carolina Skiff in water display and also the Viking booth and the folks from Bluewater in Hampton VA.
This year we are most excited about our new "Go Green Fishing Machine"!!!! Thats right, we are building a boat with Carolina Skiff and powering it with the latest 90hp four stroke engines from Suzuki. We are putting together a fishing machine that you can fish all day in and not even spend 20 bucks. I will be interviewing the folks from Carolina Skiff at the show and will take lots of footage of the boats running. One Carolina Skiff will have twin 90hp's rigged, that one I really want to see. Once we are back from Miami and have the boat all put together, we will have reports on each day we go out. Exactly how much we spend on fuel, bait, everything. If it's more than twenty bucks, then we will of overspent. Jim Baugh Outdoors will be showing first hand to our audience just how affordable recreational boating and fishing can be. But you do need the right boat, and the right engine, all without sacrificing your kids college funds!!! LOL

We will shoot the C. Center-Suzuki Booth, C. Skiff in-water display, and Bluewater\Viking, then leave for Key Largo. Once we first arrive in West Palm, we will hook up with my Cameraman Wayne Baker and stay in West Palm for several Days before heading down to Miami and Marathon to see Hampton Native Barry Buchanon. If we have time, we may shoot some Suzuki Guides down in Key West. This will be a fast trip though, because we need to get back and work on getting the new show boat built, rigged, and ready.

The Suzuki booth is really something to see, and hope that a lot of folks will come down and check out the new product! We will be posting pics and updates here on the BLOG while we are down there.

(Suzuki Fishing Team, Captain Ron Mitchell)

*******Would like to remind everyone just how good the Sea Bass bite is offshore right now. Captain Jim has been tearing them up, and Max King sent me some awesome pics of there trip as well.

Got to go for now, Crockett is calling me on the phone, has some new speed trap updates for us. If you see a Mag Red 2 C5 Vette headin south with the top off-WAVE!

Hampton VA-Our Hometown Waterfront Community

Hi Everyone! JB Reporting Dockside
We have had the pleasure of turning on a lot of anglers and tourist on to one of the most accessible, and beautiful waterfront communities on the Chesapeake Bay-Hampton VA. It is true, we have the best location in the world. Take a right out of our Hampton River, and go catch large mouth bass, take a left out of the river and go catch Yellow Fin Tuna, Dolphin, just about anything salt water.
What some people who may not of had a chance to visit this urban waterfront community, we have included some pictures takin by JBO TV Photographer, artist and animator, Wayne Baker. Wayne also lives here on the Hampton River as well as West Palm Beach Florida. These pics are just a sample of how great this area is. If you like boating, fishing, just about anything on the water, Hampton VA has it. No other place on the Bay has these type of amenities all in such close proximity. This is the main reason we have made Hampton the home for Jim Baugh Outdoors Central. We have everything here now, and can be filming only within minutes from leaving the door. If your like me, once you come to this waterfront town, you will want to stay!
Come Join US, as you can see from these post below-The Bite Is ON!! Enjoy these pics, and hope to see you on the water soon!
