Iced Up Pike and The Snap Shot Ruler!

Jonathon Marshall — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 23:55:36 +0000

A few of our lucky readers received free Snap Shot Rulers last year, but Evan is the first person to send us back a photo using it. Evan said this was his first pike of the day taken at Little Lake Barrie on January 5th about 400m out at the bottom of Duckworth.

This incredible pike weighed in at 52 pounds (24kg) – just a few pounds shy of the world record pike! This is the kind of pike I dream about at night! I’ll post more details on this amazing catch as soon as I get them!

The No Fail Five Fillet Boneless Pike

Jonathon Marshall — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:31:31 +0000

We catch a lot of pike here at Fishing Fury, and it shouldn’t surprise you that we’ve eaten out fair share of them too. Pike are a fantastic eating fish in my opinion, but one of the hardest things to do is get a nice clean boneless fillet because of their bone structure. I’ve tried several methods and none of them are as easy as the one you’re about to see. Check out this dead simple 5 fillet method I’ve never seen before.

Phantom Lures: First Impressions

Clive Mathias — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:41:41 +0000

In the past few years I have fished with a lot of great muskie anglers and they have all had one thing in common besides their love of muskie – they all had Phantom Lures in their tackle box.

Phantom Lures are high quality glide baits that are made in the good ole U.S.A. They feel like they are made of wood but are made of a solid, high impact polymer. The moment you lay eyes on these lures you can tell they are built to endure. Each lures is hand painted, covered with thick epoxy and assembled with heavy duty triple split rings.

The good folks at Phantom Lures have expended upon their great lineup of lures recently and offer several sizes ranging from a bite size 4 inches to a legendary 14 inches. As far as I know all size are available in each of the 15 patterns and with or without a soft tail.

*14 inch Phantom not pictured here.

Of all the glide baits I have used over the years, the Phantom Lure is one of the easiest and most fun to use. I’ve spent a lot of hours casting these beauties and they have earned a spot as one of my all time favorite lures!

Evolve Baits Original Species & Pulse Frog- First Impressions

Jonathon Marshall — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:13:15 +0000

When we first mentioned Evolve Baits we were quite impressed by the hand painted details. After having inspected the Original Pulse Frog and Original Species Frog close up I’m now very impressed with the entire build quality. These frogs definitely look the business and feel built to withstand huge bass, even the jaws of pike and musky!

I wasn’t able to get out this weekend because it was Thanksgiving here in Canada, but I’m working on a trip to Mystery Lake in late October and I cannot wait to give these frogs a go, even if it might be a bit too cold for topwater.

More photos of both the Original Species Frog and Original Pulse Frog after the break.

Baby Pike VS Baby Duck

Jonathon Marshall — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:31:24 +0000

I saw this video last night hot off Dave Mercer’s twitter and it’s easily the best versus video we’ve had to date. I’m sure everyone here has heard stories of pike and musky eating baby ducks, well here is your chance to see it happen right before your eyes. Spoiler: the pike wins!
