Captain Blair Wiggins — known to many as the Mogan Man from Addictive Fishing — has spent decades shaping saltwater fishing on Florida’s Space Coast. Today, he’s leading the charge on one of the most ambitious conservation projects in the state: planting over 96 million clams to restore the Indian River Lagoon.
In this conversation, Blair and I go deep on fishing history, the birth of Addictive Fishing, the boom and bust of the clam fishery, his new show Blair Wiggins Outdoors, and why restoring water quality is the fight of our generation.
Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were:
The wild story of how “Mogan” became his nickname and brand.
The rise of Addictive Fishing and what it was like to film all over the world.
His first trip to Alaska — and how it changed him.
The shocking scale of clam overharvesting and the black water years in the Indian River.
How the Clam Project is filtering Florida’s waters and changing the future for fish, anglers, and families.
