New Fishing Fury Brand Gear!

We’re hard at work to bring you what you’ve been asking for, and the number one request I keep hearing about are t-shirts! It’s crazy to think that the last “official” t-shirt was so many years ago (pre 2005?)! That limited edition print, no more than 20 shirts total, were sold and given away to friends and family in a matter of hours.

Many of you have already seen the Fishing Fury script designed by our good friend and tattoo artist Alie K. We’ll here is your chance to get it on a t-shirt*! We’re still getting all the sizes (mens, womens, and childrens) and logo colours (blue, red, pink) setup in the store, but if you see something you want that we’re missing just let us know! I’m also working on the dark coloured shirts, just have to figure out how to get the graphics right with their system.

* Oops did I only say t-shirt?! Cause you’ll also find them on stickers, mugs, and hoodies!

Rest In Peace Jack Gartside

Whenever I thinking of fly fishing, one man comes to mind. Jack Gartside. Although I only met and fished with the man once, he left a ever lasting impression. He lived and breathed fishing like no one else I’ve ever met. It’s with great sadness that I share his passing here today. After a lengthy battle with lung cancer, he passed away December 5th.


John Clarence “Jack” Gartside
1942 – 2009

From JackGartside.com

Sad news. Last evening, after a hospitalization of several weeks, Jack finally lost his protracted battle with lung cancer. He was in bed resting comfortably, attended by friends, with the first snow of the season falling silently outside.

Visiting hours will be held the evening of Wednesday December 9 in East Boston. A Funeral Mass will be held Thursday December 10 at Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Winthrop MA. Read full details on the Ruggiero-Mazzarella funeral home web site.

You will be missed my friend.

GULP Alive Killed My Rug

You may recall a recent post where I talked about a rug that was ruined while I was at Mystery Lake because one of the Berkley GULP! Alive buckets had leaked, well here’s the rug! Since that original post more and more people have contacted me telling me of similar experiences they’ve had with this product. So, I have created an official petition to have Berkley fix their packaging, once we’ve gotten more than 100 signatures I will send the petition to Berkley.

It’s a shame really, this product is amazing it’s the packaging that sucks. In this economy the $25+ (CDN) price tag, coupled with the possibility of having to replace ($220 rug from Ikea) or professionally clean any surface that happens to absorb this liquid. I can’t recommend this product without sticking a huge warning on it.

We put flour and baking soda over the stain before we left, hoping it would soak up some of the moisture and oil. As you can see it did absorb some however a large stain can still be clearly seen and a second ring of oil can also be seen. The stain is about 18 inches long to put it in to perspective. When we attempted to clean the stain with some soap and water the awful smell immediately returned. Mike said he’s going to keep the rug in the boat house where the smell or the stain wont matter.
