I am proud to announce that Mr. Twister/Exude will be the sponsors of Flatfish University (TM) for 2012.

My relationship with Mr. Twister goes back many years when my good friend and flounder mentor Capt. Skip James introduced me to their Twister Tail, a lure that literally changed everything about my flounder fishing. Since then I have caught literally thousands of flounder on variations of that lure, including its smaller cousin the Meeny and am more than excited to have them as our sole sponsor next year.

This will allow us to upgrade our classes with more multi-media applications and do some other things that will be announced early next year. We will also be doing some exclusive contests at my various seminars and clinics not only as part of Flatfish University (TM) but also F.L.E.X. Fishing (R).

In addition, I am also thrilled to announce this sponsorship will kick off in a big way in November with a new event called the Fall Flounder Run.

This will involve yours truly fishing five solid days for flounder during the peak of the run with a goal of catching and documenting 100 flounder caught on lures. All fish will be released or donated to Sea Center Texas to help provide broodstock for Texas' flounder stocking program.

There will be daily blog updates with video and photos, plus Mr. Twister/Exude product giveaways and opportunities for you you to join in on the fun in the field. Dates will be announced soon as will the key destinations.

All Flatfish University (TM) classes in 2011 sold out quickly and we expect the same next year. While that is good from a business perspective it means much more to me because that means you believe in the work I have done and continue to do on taking flounder fishing to entirely new levels. From the bottom of my heart thank you. 

Know that we are going to end 2011 on a high note with the Fall Flounder Run and with Mr. Twister/Exude's help we will do great things in 2012 with our classes.

Upgrade is in the air and so is autumn.

I don't know about you but I am ready to feel the thump of a big saddle blanket-sized flounder's strike!

God bless,

Chester Moore
