Fish Itch – Group Buys for the Fisherman

Fish Itch is a group buy site for fisherman that raises money for conservation by offering discounted fishing tackle in short-term deals. How does it work? Simple, you register for an account and get notified when new deals are available if you like what you see, buy it!

Right now Fish Itch is doing a group buy for a 4-pack of Shark Tooth line keepers/cutters- another perfect example of “why didn’t I think of that?!” The Shark Tooth is kind of like the ZipCut Pro, except for your spools of line and leader material and not your rod and reel. The Shark Tooth wraps around your standard spool of line keeping it nice and tidy, as well as providing a tool for cleanly cutting just about any line.

Turn a Can Tab Into a Fish Hook

In case you are in need of more excuses to drink, I present to you, the tab hook. Now I know a lot of you like to drink beer from a bottle like a baby, but you are doing it wrong. A true fisherman drinks from a can, and this is why. Sure you cold fashion a fish hook from a beer bottle cap, but its way easier to do it with a tab from a can, just ask Instructables!

Check Out Ontario’s Interactive Guide To Eating Fish

Ontario recently released an online Guide to eating sport fish outlining the safe limits of fish from hundreds of different lakes and rivers, and have now taken it one step further by integrating their data with Google Maps.

Fish can be an important part of a healthy diet, because they are high in quality protein and low in saturated fat, but in some cases care must be taken because of contaminant levels in the fish.

Anglers can use the guide to identify species and angling destinations with lower contaminant levels. The 2011-2012 edition includes advice for sport fish from more than 1,950 lakes, rivers and streams around the province.

As it turns out the northern pike in the Toronto Harbour and Toronto Islands are actually quite safe to eat, with a suggested limit of 8 meals per month.
