GoFish Camera Kickstarter

I’ve always been a fan of underwater fishing footage. I even started making my own housing to put my GoPro in, but this little camera looks like a much better idea at a fraction of the cost of a GoPro.

With 275 backers and only 24 days ago, this project is very close to being fully funded. I have personally pledged money to this project and I am pumped to see the final product. If you want to fund this project and get your own GoFish Camera, visit Kickstarter!

Hello Lily

There is no shortage of cool drones out there these days, but the Lily camera has taken many of the best features and combines them into one cute little package. This happy little drone will follow its user around but can also be controlled via a your cell phone. I can already see huge potential for filming our fishing adventures!

Typically a good quality drone will cost well over $1000, but Lily is now available for pre-order at $599 until July 15th.

Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is just around the corner, but there is still plenty of time to get your dad a great gift. Here are a few of our last-minute picks that will make any fishing dad happy!

Every fisherman needs a good camera to capture special moments on the water. There are several great options for relatively inexpensive underwater cameras this year. The Canon PowerShot D30 and the Panasonic Lumix TS5 are our top picks. Both are capable of taking great photos and 1080p HD video. While the Lumix TS5 cannot be taken as deep, it does offer some great features such as WIFI connectivity to your smart phone. This means you can easily share your photos on all of your favourite social networking sites without capturing the photos to your computer.

I never go fishing without a knife. I don’t use one too often, except for cutting line and occasionally filleting fish, but you never know when a good blade will come in handy. Rapala offers some great small fillet knifes and recently added blades from Marttiini. The new Marttiini Curly Birch Folding knife with a three-inch blade will be a perfect fit for dad’s tackle box.

We have talked about sunglasses being fishing’s most important tool in the past and every fisherman should have a pair. Dizm sunglasses offer both functionality and style and to top it off they are eco-friendly. What more could a dad ask for?

No matter how many fishing lures your dad has, he could always use more! Among our favourites are the new Rapala Scatter Rap and the Live Target Baitball. The Scatter Rap offers an incredible evasive action and the Baitball gives the appearance of multiple baitfish in a single lure. Both are available in several styles and patterns.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

The Latest GoPro Is Here And It’s Smaller Than Ever

You are no doubt familiar with the GoPro brand by now, if you’re not, they are simply the best small action cameras on the planet. With the release of the GoPro Hero3 last year, we were left wondering what tricks they would come up with next. Last week, the new GoPro Hero3+ has been unleashed, and the little camera that could, just got even smaller (20% smaller) and more powerful.

Three new mounts were also revealed, including a new junior chest harness and flex clamp.
