I’m Ready For My Close-up

I’ve been fishing as much as possible this year, generally 4-5 times a week. I’ve been rotating between different lakes, rods, reels, lures and fish. I mostly target bass on my baitcaster but switch it up to spinning and fly-fishing on occasion for trout. I’ve done quite well so far this season, catching and photographing some beautiful little fish. I miss catching big fish, but there is really something special about these colourful little brook tout.

I’m amazed how different they look despite being the same species.

I also have been getting into some chain pickerel recently on small spinner biats. They are very similar to pike, but rarely get over 30 inches around here.

What’s this Pickerel word all about, don’t you call your Walleye Pickerel sometimes as well or am i just getting confused with something else?!

Rapala Husky Jerk

"The very next day I stuck gold and hooked into a nice little muskie. He couldn't believe it, but I knew there had to be bigger ones. The next time we visited the lake we came better prepared with bigger reels, heavier line, and bigger lures. It wasn't long before I had another beautiful muskie, this time caught on a Rapala Suspending Husky Jerk, a lure that despite its small size, has caught me several big fish. Jon also landed his first muskie on that trip, an incredible 47 inch giant that was fooled into attacking an Original Floating Rapala."

Fishing Fury Flashback, Clive Age 10

I dug up a few old fishing photos recently, so I figured it would be a good idea to take a look back at the history of Fishing Fury. I’ve been very lucky my entire life to be surrounded by fishermen, both friends and family. When I was 10 or eleven we spent some time [...]
