Angling Fish - by James Rickard

Just because you have some kind of physical handicap, doesn't mean you can't appreciate the beauty of nature.

It's not just a handicap that makes it harder to use limbs than it used to be. Auto accidents, bad falls, or strokes happen every day.

Luckily, there's a company that realizes this and furnishes products to allow those with physical impediments to enjoy the outdoors.

Adaptiveoutdoorsman.com is a company devoted to bringing an active lifestyle to those with disabilities.


Someone is probably going to holler, "They don't have that much stuff!" Maybe they don't but, overseeing a company such as this is a tremendous undertaking and there is no shame in humble beginnings because they are not only selling goods and service, they are also giving people back their life!

Further, this statement is on their website:

Since we are always looking for quality products, please let us know of any hunting, fishing, or camping equipment that would help anyone with a handicap. We will gladly research the product and possibly add to our site.

How many companies say something like that? They sound open minded to me!



Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!

Using Spike-It

October 7th 2008 00:44
A lot of, if not most, products at the tackle shop are made to catch anglers instead of fish. I'm pleased to say that is not the case with Spike-It worm dye!

Bullet Weights came though!

We've all been there. A big company has a website with a "Contact Us" link you click on, ask a question, and then you never hear from them.

Wormproof tackle boxes

September 21st 2008 00:27
Fishing ought to be fairly simple--throw your bait into the water and pull out a fish. Fool proof. Right??? How 'bout wormproof? I'm not talking gastrointestinal distress! When it comes to fishing, "wormproof" refers to tackle boxes that are made so your soft plastic baits don't adhere themselves to the trays.

A Plano tackle box
Several differently designed tackle boxes are available. This is ONE design from Plano.
Maybe you're old enough to remember how it used to be. You'd be out on a sunny day, decide to try a plastic worm, and , invariably, that worm would be sticking to the tray in your tackle box! And, if it did come loose, it was so deformed you were ashamed to use it.

A little reverse engineering

May 25th 2008 00:21
I think having a fishing cart like the one in the picture would be great IF I needed it.

fishing cart
I first saw fishing carts when I was pier fishing on the Outer Banks and figured that everybody made their own until I did a little research and found out that you can buy these things PRE-made!

A reel for you!

May 8th 2008 23:10
I'm not sure about the validity of this thing but, I just found it as I was trying out some new speakers for my computer.

This proves you can get tangles with a spinning reel. I KNOW I'm supposed to say a spinning reel is easier to use than a baitcaster but I have a REAL nice baitcaster I got as a gift and I'll put it up against a LOT of spining reels I see.

No matter what kind of bait you use, you can't catch fish if they're not there. How do you know if fish are around? You can always go with tried and true methods and fish weed beds and structure but, what if you don't have the time to make what may be futile attempts and you need to know NOW?

It makes no difference if you're fishing from the shore or a boat, a fish finder is just the thing to eliminate non-productive areas.

Mend It soft bait glue

April 20th 2008 00:19
Mend It
Here's a product that can really bail you out of a jam. It's called Mend It. It's a glue for soft plastic baits.

Anyone who reads this blog very much knows I try to resist the urge to run out and buy everything I see but this is another of those things I wish I had tried sooner. It's a lot better than using any of the Super Glues you find, dries softer and doesn't leave a hard spot on your soft plastics.

Removing line from your reel

April 16th 2008 00:18
Since yesterday's post was about line that goes ON your reel, I suppose it's appropriate to have a bit about how to take line off the reel.

I have my doubts about the product in this video. It wouldn't take a genius to make one of these things!

How often have you been spooling your reel and when you decided there was enough line on the reel you didn't have a knife or scissors handy?

That problem is solved with EZ Spool fishing line!

Think you don't need a tacklebox?

April 13th 2008 00:58
When people say, "I don't fish that much. Do I really need a tacklebox?" I say, "Yes!"

As you fish more and more, lures and other tackle accumulate. You're going to need somewhere to store all the gear and it's not a good idea to put hooks in your pocket.
