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!

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.

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!

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.

How much line is on your reel?

line counter
Have you ever made what you thought was GREAT cast only to have the lure snap back at you because you didn't have enough line on your reel?

Granted, you can tie your line to a tree and walk off a distance that should cover any cast but, what do you do if it snows, rains or is dark?

Do you have a hook file?

hook sharpening stone
Here is a little gizmo that doesn't cost much but will give you lots of mileage.

Pictured to the right is a sharpening stone made especially for fish hooks. All you need to do to bring a dull hook back to life is run it along the groove at a 45 degree angle a few times and your hooks are as good as new.

A fishing log for you

March 16th 2008 00:34
In order to achieve success when fishing, it takes a lot of practice and more trial and error than I care to admit. One way to eliminate some of the time wasted with trial and error is to record your attempts and then repeat what worked for you and see where you're doing right or wrong

The log I've included can help you a great deal. This is fairly basic. There are logs for your computer but I like an old-fashioned paper log because, if you're like me, too many details are forgotten by the time you get around to putting info into the computer.

Keep your minnows alive

March 11th 2008 01:33
When you’re out fishing and the sun is shining and everything seems right with the world, it doesn’t take long for your minnows to die. The warmer it is, the less time it takes.

Maybe they even started dying before you got your line wet! The hoopla of going from a big tank at the bait shop to your minnow bucket may be too much for them to handle. Something else to think about is the trip to the water hole. Minnows don’t handle the stress of a car’s constant vibration very well so, it’s a good idea to get your minnows as close to your destination as possible.

Maybe a better question would be, "What's the deal with STATE TROOPERS and sunglasses?"
Making note to self--stay off of highway!
