A Sneak Peek At MFCC “T.V.”

Do you remember the 60 Minutes episode that featured drones? My Mom called me the night it was on, insisting that I immediately switch the television to channel 4.

I caught the episode just in time to watch a small drone fly over the ocean, and I was instantly intrigued.

With Christmas around the corner my disposable income was almost nonexistent. Nevertheless, one minute after the end of the episode, I was ordering a drone from Amazon.

One week later the flying piece of plastic arrived in the mail, and my girlfriend Lauren has not looked at me the same way since.

A "Planet Earth" Style Fishing Show

If you've been following the MFCC blog since the start, you may have noticed how much I appreciate just being outside, in the natural world. It doesn't take much to make me happy, as long as I am outside in a scenic place.

I think that is why I am drawn to the Planet Earth documentaries because its focus is on the environment around us. I respect that.

It then struck me that by using my drone, together with my GoPro camera, I could capture and share with you beautiful scenes of Cape Cod's beaches, bays, harbors and estuaries. I could even toss in a little fishing footage from the 2013 season.

Could there be a better way to spend the winter? I was pumped!

Tap The Brakes Buddy...

At this point I was starting to get odd looks from Lauren and anyone else I shared my idea with. They were all for it and very supportive, but probably thought I had some screws loose.

Usually the ladies in my life are correct, and I will be the first to admit that I may have lost my marbles. Believe me, there have been a few bumps in the road, like when I almost decapitated my Dad.

But overall I am really happy and excited about how the footage is coming together, and I can't wait to share it with you on February 26th.

It's Actually Not A Show At All

As I have been working on filming and editing video I have realized that this "show" is not a show at all. My goal is not to be a funny or entertaining host, but instead to bring you with me into the Cape's natural environment.

I want you to feel as if you are there with me, and if you happen to find me entertaining, well that's just a bonus!

I am calling the show My Fishing Cape Cod TV because people are naturally attracted to any phrase that has "TV" stuck to the end of it. Could this show eventually be on TV? I think so, and obviously that'd be great...but it's definitely not my goal.

Episode One:  3 Places To Surfcast On Cape Cod

In the first episode I am going to share with you 3 types of places where you can catch a big striped bass from shore on Cape Cod during the 2014 season. I will share with you helpful fishing tips, show you some exciting surfcasting action from 2013 and give you a bird's eye view of the environment.

The bird's eye view is by far my favorite part. Here's a short example of what you can expect on the 26th:

1 Month To Go Until Premiere

I chose February 26th as the date to debut the first episode with you, because I really want to make this special. The last thing I want to do is waste your time.

Luckily, based on how things are progressing, I believe you will thoroughly enjoy what I have in store for you. I am excited and I hope you are too.
