Are Sharks Afraid Of Cages?

No, no they are not. A cage diver on Mexico’s Baja coast had a close encounter with a 15 foot great white recently. The massive shark made a run at the diving cage and broke the bars, entering it and thrashing about. Luckily for this diver, he lived to tell the tale.

DIY Ear Piercing

It’s probably not the most sterile piercing you could get, but it wont coast you anything! I almost did this the first time I went fly fishing.

The Worlds Most Poluted River

The Citarum River in Indonesia may very well be the most polluted river in the world. It was once home to many fishermen, who now spend their days sorting through the garbage for items that can be re-sold. An industrial boom that began in the 1980s is blamed the the current state of the river.

Here in North America, I often hear people complain about the pollution in our lakes and rivers, but I’ve never witnessed anything like this.


Their occupants no longer try to fish. It is more profitable to forage for rubbish they can salvage and trade - plastic bottles, broken chair legs, rubber gloves - risking disease for one or two pounds a week if they are lucky.

    “And the doomsday effect will spread. It is one of two major rivers that feed Lake Saguling, where the French have built the largest power generator in West Java.
    Experts predict that as the river chokes, its volume will decrease and the generator will not function properly.
    The area will be plunged into darkness.
    But at least the factories will be stilled and their waste will stop flowing.
    And perhaps the river will begin to breathe again.”

Fishing With Werewolves

I’m inclined to say this is a bear, but it sure looks like a werewolf! What do you think it is?

Re: Japanese Tackle Shops

That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!

I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
