Pimp My Reel - Dream Reels

At Fishing Fury, we love shiny things as much as fish do - especially shiny reels. As odd as it may sound, it’s not only important that our reels function well, but that they look great too. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to reels though. Personally I prefer the appearance of a round baitcast reel, where as Jon prefers low profile. One thing with both agree on though, is that if we had the money, we would have a serious collection of pimped out reels. Here’s a list of the reels we wish we had, but probably never will.

Quantum Cabo PTs CBC31

My lovely fiancee was kind enough to get me exactly what I wanted for my birthday this year, a new reel! I have had my eye on the Quantum Cabo bait cast reel for a couple of years now. The blue and grey design immediately caught my attention when I first saw it. After researching the reel I learned that it is not only good looking, but remarkably strong. I have spooled the reel with 65lb PowerPro line and will be using it mainly for musky this year. I’ll have a review written about the reel once I find a rod to match it up with, stay tuned!

Lake Chemong, Ontario - July 19 2006

Rather than facing the weekend boat traffic, we decided to take a midweek fishing trip for my birthday to a lake we had never fished before. Jon, Gillian and I packed up the car shortly after midnight and started our drive to Lake Chemong, located in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario. Much like other Kawartha lakes, Chemong offers great bass, walleye and musky fishing.

The drive took less than two hours from Toronto, and we drove around the lake looking for a boat rental in the dark. We spotted several fishermen night-fishing along the causeway that splits the lake in two. We slept a few hours in the car and and rented a boat from a very friendly woman in the small town of Bridgenorth shortly after six.

We started the day using plastic baits to cover shallow water and structure near shore and around several islands to the south of the lake. After a couple hours of fishing, it was clear that we were not going to find any bass in the shallow water. The sun was beating down pretty hard and despite being in the tail end of major heatwave, the bass were still not feeding. We began making drifts through deeper water hoping to locate isolated fish. Jon used jigs, trying to pull fish off the bottom, Gillian used live worms drifting them behind the boat, and I decided to cast my own musky lures hoping for a big one.

Gillian began catching several pan fish including crappie, sunfish, perch and then she landed a good sized largemouth bass which proved to be the biggest fish of the day. We fished a total of six hours and we each got a few small bass before we called it a day.

Tear Up the Beach, Then Tear Up the Surf

Im sure most of you will remember the aquatic sports car, or perhaps even the lesser known (perhaps because even I don’t know the name) aquatic classic that Clive found at the Carlisle Kit Car Convention.

Well, the same company that brought you the aquatic sports car, now has a nice addition to their transforming aquatic lifestyle vehicles.

New Custom Spinnerbaits

When I’m not fishing, you can usually find me sitting in the basement making fishing lures. I recently made my first sale in the United states and will be shipping out some new lures later today. Here are a few of my recent creations made specifically for northern pike. Each lure features quality parts including a hefty #8 French blade which measures 2-1/2 inches in length and a 4X strong SureSet red treble hook.

Bay of Quinte Report, July 9 2006

Gillian and I decided to take a quick trip to the Belleville, Ontario to do some shore fishing in the Bay of Quinte with a couple friends. Very windy conditions and heavy boat traffic made locating walleye and bass very difficult. We ended up targeting small pan fish. We caught a variety of fish, including rock bass, sunfish, bluegill and for the first time I caught a goby. The goby is an invasive species that can be found throughout the great lakes. They take over prime spawning sites traditionally used by native species, competing with native fish for habitat and changing the balance of the ecosystem.

We fished well into the darkness and my friends landed a couple nice bass and a big crappie before we packed up and headed home for a few beers.

Shore Fishing the Niagara , July 7 2006

During a recent trip to St. Catherines Ontario to visit friends, we decided to do some fishing in the Niagara river. I have only fished the mighty river once before, without catching any fish, but the awesome scenery makes the trip worthwhile weather we catch fish or not. We were hoping to locate some smallmouth bass in the slower moving pockets of the river, but only managed to catch one tiny bass which was release without a photo. Here are a few shots of the scenery.

Re: Chasing Barracuda - Anegada, British Virgin Islands

Hey Peter, Spoons will catch you several varieties of fish including two of my favorite, barracuda and jacks. If you plan to fish for tarpon the best bet is using live bait and fishing at night. Tarpon can be found though out the Virgin Islands by day and night and you should be able to find them as long as you have good eyesight! (look for schools of baitfish and pelicans) Anegada probably holds some the best fishing in the BVI with a wide variety of species, including world class bone fishing. If you plan to fish from a boat you are [...]
