BIG RED FISH!

The next best thing to catching a big fish is watching someone catch one for the first time. After a 30-minute fight on light tackle, Larry Meador, a close friend of mine, hauled in a massive redfish this summer. We bounced hand-sized blue crabs on the bottom as we drifted the outgoing tide. Summer months are great times to catch BIG fish in Florida’s many inlets and deep waterways. A few tips: Fish the outgoing tide and use big bait. Don’t get frustrated if you have to re-rig multiple times from snagging the bottom- that’s part of it.

Enjoy florida!

Hello Florida!

Monday, April 13th, 2009

When my producer told me I would need to create a blog, I told him to watch his mouth. I said there will be no blogging from this young man and then he looked at me and I knew he was going to get mad like he does so I decided to just go with it. So here I am Florida, let’s blog. 

This blog, I imagine, will be a mix of how to Do florida production experiences and random personal excursions. Here are a few personal nuggets to get us going:

-Born in Winter Park Hospital on Feb 8, 1973. Pink Floyd released ”Dark Side of the Moon” that year.

-Graduated from Seminole High School in 1991 and left for the U.S. Navy shortly after. Spent three years stationed in the Caribbean on the island of Antigua and, yes, I worked hard protecting our country. 

-Received a film and video degree from Full Sail in 1995.

-Married Kristy, the love of my life, in 2001.

-Started The Crawford Group in 2005.

-Currently, we have 3 children and live in Lake Mary, Florida.

I’m a third-generation Floridian and I have lived my life in pursuit of all Florida has to offer: lobstering in the Keys, surfing the coasts, wakeboarding the lakes and fishing the flats, to name a few. Unless you’re my Mom, you’re not following this blog because of me- the real star here is Florida. It’s the most traveled-to destination in the world- over 50 million people come here every year. Most of them go home, but, for the ones who loathe the snow shovel and decide to stay, this show’s for you…soak it up.
