Feb. 4 - Idaho Trout Fishing
The flowing river, the log cabin bank, the tumbleweeds rolling through the potato fields; all are representative of Island Park, ID. There is a peaceful tranquility to the area...that is until the Mad Fisherman and his crew descends upon the town.
Feb. 11 - Lancaster, PA with Todd Rucci
Charlie travels to Pennsylvania to film an episode with former New England Patriot Todd Rucci. Charlie and Todd head to Todd's private golf club and the plan is not to play 9 holes, but to fish for bass.
Feb. 18 - Hawaii Bone Fishing
Charlie fishes for bonefish and joins his local guest for an authentic Hawaiian-style home cooked meal. However, even Hawaii is not far enough from the mainland to keep the Mad Fisherman from bringing his unique Boston attitude and style to the island.

The cast and crew travels all over the world to exotic locations to bring the viewers the best in fishing, fine dining, and fun. But there's all that and more right in Charlie's home region of New England as they embark on an adventure filled with steak, cigars, and fishing.
