Lowcountryoutdoors.com received an invitation to join D.O.A. lures in Jensen Beach Florida for a weekend of product review and saltwater fishing. This endeavor resulted in a 'first' when Captain Mark Nichols guided me to catch a few snook - making this a very special 200th blog entry. (but who's counting...) Joining the group of Florida fishing guides and outdoor writers from California, Colorado, Texas, Georgia (and S.C.) - D.O.A. lures provided product demos from Power Pro fishing line, Johnson motors, Shimano rods and reels, Seaguar leaders, Shearwater boats, Eagle Claw hooks, Frogg Toggs outerwear, Flambeau tackle boxes and Oakley HD sunglasses. The event was held at River Palm fish camp (Martin County) on the Indian River Lagoon - where owner Rufus Wakeman even serves as one of the fishing guides. The guides were outfitted with D.O.A. products (all D.O.A. products are proudly made in the U.S.A.) such as the 3-inch shrimp, softshell crab, C.A.L. lure and the brand new B.F.L. lure. The aptly named Big Fishing Lure seemed to be just the trick when guide Captain Greg Snyder reeled in a 30-pound snook! Other species caught on D.O.A. lures during the fishing were bluefish, blue runner, mangrove snapper, pompano, jack crevalle, flounder, ladyfish, trout, redfish and a hybrid known as a tarpon snook.
