Has Anyone Messed With Your Tackle?
Could You Tell? We got a media release from Plano yesterday and this quote from KVD caught my eye: “I can always tell you where something is among my gear, always!” This I believe, even though Kevin has more fishing gear in his boat than most of us have in our boat, truck, house, shed, [...]
More WI Knuckleheadedness?
Just in case you weren’t already thinking Wisconsin had it’s head up…you know…about tournament fishing, this: As of this year, June through August (give or take) you can only keep (catch-hold-release) 3 fish per day in Wisconsin bass and walleye tourneys. Yeah. Three. Click the pic below to read from a DNR letter to a [...]
Ice-Fishing Follies: Crack, Goats, DWI, Tazers
Wow, this ice-fishing thing must be like going to the circus. Every day something comes across the transom that makes you wonder whether any fish are involved – or need to be involved. A few recent examples:
Beginning of End for Invasive Mussels?
Looks like scientists from the New York State Museum, of all places, have come up with a way to kill zebra and quagga mussels without harming anything else. From the Tahoe Daily Tribune: > Researchers Daniel Molloy and Denise Mayer discovered a bacteria strain — Pseudomonas fluorescens — that can kill zebra and quagga mussels [...]
More on the Goldfish, Awesome Bait
You may recall a few months back we had a post on a study that concluded, in part, that bass don’t just like but prefer goldfish over other prey fish: “The order of ingestion was suggestive of a preference for goldfish, then bluegill and finally channel catfish. Handling time was greater for channel catfish, less [...]
Be Jealous of KVD
There are lots of reasons to be jealous of Kevin VanDam. He can fish better than you [and everybody else, for that matter]. He’s got lures named after him. And he gets paid wads of cash to do something he loves. Depressed yet? As if all that wasn’t enough, the VanDaminator goes off and publishes this [...]
What’s the Most Boring Sport?
I type this as my wife watches what, for me, is the most boring sport in the world. I’ll tell you what it is in a sec. Posting this because I’ve heard and read so many times about how “boring” fishing or watching fishing is. I know you have too. After really trying to watch [...]
Is This Game Really About Fishing?
Just in case you can’t get your fill of fish that aren’t real, a couple of vid-game developers just announced an online game in the works called Grand Mer. From examiner.com: Grand Mer is a free-to-play online fishing game, set in 2018 after global warming has caused massive flooding and climate change on Earth. As [...]
Duckett’s Biz-Like Approach: Some Deets
Among fellow pro fishermen, Boyd Duckett is admired for his business sense – which you typically don’t get without a lot of hard work and self-discipline. That seems true in Boyd’s case, and comes through in an interview he recently did with newsobserver.com, highlights of which follow:
Now a Rod for Your Bathroom
The New iWhatever for Fishin’? Can’t get enough catchin’ and reelin’? Always wished you could do more than read on the terlet? Now you can, thanks to Japanese toy manufacturer Tomy. The company just announced that “a palm-sized rod with an antenna-like tip equipped with a reeling handle and small screen will go on sale [...]
PA Bass Tourney Guys Speak Up
A while back we posted about how the PA Fish and Boat Commission said that Susquehanna River smallies were suffering from pollution – so they decided to ban spring bass tourneys, and mandate measure-and-release the rest of the year. This is like…well, I can’t think of an analogy off the top of my head, but [...]
5 Crazee Ice Fishing Shots
Really that’s enuff said. These shots also make me ask: Is hardwater fishing really fishing?
Immunizing Your Boat: It’s Coming?
If you didn’t catch the buzz from a post by Lindner’s Angling Edge recently, Ron Lindner was fishing with fish biologist Dick Sternberg and…well, I’ll let Ron pick it up from here: In between hooking fish, Dick was on and off the cell phone all afternoon. I heard one side of the ongoing discussions…and they [...]
Spot Encroachment? Hit ‘Em With a Fish
Next time a boat gets to close to you, take a cue from this ice-fishergal – or maybe not, but either way, don’t be wusses like the guys were. From mlive.com: > The incident happened around 1 p.m. Saturday on Black Lake (MI), when a 29-year-old woman allegedly
World’s Biggest ‘Bass’ Endangered
Even though I’m in no hurry to travel to Africa, on my bucket list is fishing for Nile Perch there – and from the pic, you can see why: They look like huge largies! HUGE. The world hook-line record is 230, and bigger ones have been caught…. Unfortunately, the species is now
