It must be true
November 20th 2011 13:14
Sometimes you read about things and wonder if they're true.
This is an old joke around bait shops but they really do exist.

The end of the line??
August 25th 2011 20:18
Admittedly, the question marks were added by yours truly. Discounting this liberty, The End of the Line is a film which takes a sobering look at the effects of overfishing and offers solutions that may save our population.
The Rupert Murray film, based on British environmental journalist Charles Clover's book, shows the devastating effects that overfishing with modern technology is having on our oceans by using both under and above-water footage to show we are taking fish from the ocean faster than they can be replaced.

Fishing a different river
June 2nd 2011 00:54
It's one thing to fish a different body of water for the challenge. It's another to fish different water because you have to.
Over the past few months, I've fallen into the latter category. Why? That's a long story. Suffice to say, it's a combination of divorce, job dis-satisfaction and then losing said job due to a merger, and lack of anything better to do than move.

A little surf fishing
September 24th 2010 15:08
It's been a little over two years since I last surf fished so, it was no wonder this video stirred a restless feeling in my heart.

A look at the same place throughout the year
November 18th 2008 01:34
Knowing how deep the water is where you fish is important because you have to know how deep the water is to have an idea of where the fish are.
That can be done with an electronic depth finder or simply being familiar with the area you fish.

Matt Hayes--fishing and photography
August 20th 2008 01:13
Here's a website I discovered and really enjoy because it combines two of my passions--fishing and photography.
The owner of this site, Matt Hayes, is a U.k. angler and photographer who has a great screen presence. I've been exploring this site and surfing the web to find out all I can about him and I think he's become my favorite non-American angler.

Trying out a new camera at my favorite spot
February 10th 2008 01:59
I wanted to kill two birds with one stone on this post. Aside from getting some material for my blog, I wanted to try out a new camera at the same time and today was warm enough that I could get out and put it through its paces.
Although I have no intentions of turning this blog into some sort of fisherman's diary, I will say that things went pretty well although there are some points I still want to work on. Newer cameras do so many things! The main thing I have to work on is remembering how to change settings. I guess that's not a problem if you always shoot on AUTOMATIC but, to really get good shots or anything very creative, you have to learn to shoot on MANUAL. Yeah, yeah! I know--that defeats the purpose of AUTOMATIC. Here's my take on that--AUTO is fine if all you want is a record of an occurrence. That way of thinking began with the Kodak Brownie. (Photography buffs will know what I mean!)

Photograph your trophy
January 3rd 2008 04:52
I've mentioned catch and release in passing before. What happens if you get that once in a life time catch and want to show it off? In the past, when you got that "trophy catch," you had to choose between throwing it back and keeping it. You could get a trophy but it was pretty well the end of the line for the fish. Now days, you can get your trophy and the fish gets to live to be caught again.
All you need to do is take a series of photographs of your catch and a life like replica suitable for mounting can be made. Todays reproductions are far superior to what was available just a few years ago. In fact, the technology available today can create trophies that are so life like that they rival anything in nature and certainly look better than anything found in fishing lodges when you were a kid.
