Flats Class Rig 2.0
Flats Class 2009

Struggling to put fish in the boat with searchbaits, Ray and CA deploy the ultra-reliable Flats Class Rig once again.

Big-Bend Searchbaits
Flats Class 2009

Finally finding time to fish the Big-Bend area of Florida, Ray and C.A. put the searchbaits to work. Great info, lots of reds.

Charlotte Harbor Pot-Luck
Flats Class 2009

Ray and C.A. spend 24 hours on Charlotte Harbor. Reds, Trout, Cobia and Tarpon abound!

LA Rage Baits
Flats Class 2009

Testing out some soon-to-be-released prototype baits from Strike King, the guys put a score or more of nice reds in the boat. C.A. looses a monster after a long fight. Keep an eye on StrikeKing.com for when these baits become available!

Texas Jetty
Flats Class 2009

Ray and C.A. hit Galveston Bay the day following a recent Redfish Cup tournament. Fishing the rocks can be tough, even dangerous. But with a box full of Strike King Series 5 Crankbaits and some good fortune, they boat a pile of nice reds, as well as some other nice examples of jetty fish.

Topwater Magic
Flats Class 2009

You might not think of wintertime as the best time for catching redfish and trout on topwaters. Fact is, radical tides and hungry, temperature sensitive fish can add up to real magic on the flats if you play your cards right and have patience.

Creek Fishin'
Flats Class 2009

The everglades never let us down. This spring Ray and C.A. put the new Daiwa Pluton reel to the test, besting (among other things) a 110 pound tarpon in four feet of water.

Pop and Top
Flats Class 2009

Comparing favorite techniques, Ray and C.A. boat lots of big reds and specs using topwaters and the tried-and-true Popping Cork Strike King combination.

Everglades
Flats Class 2009

There's no better place on the planet to fish artificials for snook. Early spring finds Ray and C.A. fishing out of Chokoloskee as usual. The big snook don't disappoint.

Big Fish Little Kid
Flats Class 2008 Father's Day Episode

C.A. takes his son Camron out to put the hurt on some big reds and trout. This is not your typical "Take a Kid Fishing" show. This is about putting young anglers on the trophy fish you're after, and helping them enjoy success.

Winner of the Sportsman Channel "Best Saltwater Fishing Episode" award 2008.

Mosquito Trout
Flats Class 2008

The biggest, meanest most beautiful trout you might ever catch could very well come from Mosquito Lagoon on the east coast of Florida. Ray and C.A. tackle the bruiser yellow-mouths with Strike King soft plastics baits and boat a pair of giants - as well as a good collection of nice reds.

King of the Pass
Flats Class 2008

Joined by tarpon fishing legend Artie Price Jr. , Ray and C.A. set out to boat the elusive Silver king, during the heart of the tarpon migration through Boca Grande Pass. Fishing the pass during the peak of the season is not for the faint of heart. "Jumped ten. Three to the boat!"

Flats Class Rig
Flats Class 2008

No, we didn't invent the Drop Shot Rig - we made it better. A lot better if you're an inshore fan. When fish are spooky and you need to reach out and touch the school with a subtle presentation, there's nothing better than this re-engineered technique for casting little bates a big distance.

Mirr-O-Trout
Flats Class 2008

C.A. is joined by MirrOlure's Eric Bachnik in pursuit of trophy trout in the springtime. Big fish. Fast action. A treble hook in the finger. Dang!

WARNING: Contains scenes which my not be suitable for Googans.

Dissecting Docks
Flats Class 2008

Fish relate to all sorts of cover. Docks are everywhere, and hold every kind of inshore sport-fish. Gear up and keep working. Patience pays in this guts-for-glory game of re-ties, lost lures and big fish.

Keys Permit
Flats Class 2008

When you have a new Ranger 2410 in your possession for a couple of weeks, whatcha gonna do? Head "almost" offshore and tackle some wreck permit off of the Florida Keys. Ray and C.A. get owned by a number of big permit.

Top Water Sam
Flats Class 2008

Sam Bertha Jr. is a Florida East Coast native and topwater angling expert. He and C.A. set out to dispel a few myths about topwater fishing, and put a few late fall reds in the boat.

East Coast Snook
Flats Class 2008

Summertime on the East coast means the snook bite is on! One of the few times you'll see us put live bait in the well is when the potential for a lifetime best snook comes around. Get out your cast net and hit the rocks!

Downtown
Flats Class 2008

Urban fisheries go largely overlooked by most of us. We dream of having the bay to ourselves and miles of unspoiled flats to fish undisturbed. The reality is, you have to catch fish where and when you can. Downtown Tampa turns up some great fishing, with virtually no traffic.
