I’m not a fan of the cold. In fact, the less clothes I can wear while fishing the better. My ideal fishing locations are in tropical climates, where I can feel the sand between my toes, and the sun on my back while making a cast.
For some weird reason, I feel very drawn to Alaska. Every time I see a photo or video of someone fishing in Alaska, I just want to pack up my bags and go. I bet a summer spent fishing in the great wilderness of Alaska would rival any other fishing trip on the planet.
I’ve been back from Cuba for a couple weeks now and I have had time to think back on the trip and reflect. I’d like to say it was a fishing trip, but it was actually a late honeymoon. My fishing time was limited to my sons nap times, which are never more then two hours long. The weather was great, the drinks were strong, and the fishing…well, you’ll have to keep reading for that.
In case you didn’t figure it out already, I’m back from Cuba! The trip went great, and of course ended way too soon. I didn’t do as much fishing as I would have liked, but I managed to sneak a few hours in during nap times. I’m working on getting a proper report together for anyone else who will be visiting the area.
Actually, nothing is really packed. I’m at work for another hour tonight, but once I get home I’ll start packing. I travel pretty light generally, fishing equipment and cameras are the only real bulk I’ll be taking with me. We’ll be on a flight to Toronto tomorrow morning to spend the night with my family before we head south to Cuba. It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’ll be sitting on a beach very soon. I really love to travel, especially traveling to a tropical island. It’ll be nice to take off this winter jacket tomorrow!
The best part about traveling south, the weather!
I haven’t decided if I’m going to take my laptop with me yet, but there will be at least a few updates while I’m gone, so visit again soon!
I’m counting down the days until I head south to Cuba. Only four days left! We’ll be spending most of our time at a resort in Veradero, but we plan to make a trip into Havana at somepoint to do some exploring. I’m extremely excited to do some saltwater fishing again, hopefully I can get into some decent fish.
I made sure to reduce my hours at my second job this month so I could enjoy the last bit of good weather with the family before the winter hits. I spent way too much time working in the last month and missed out on some great fishing as a result.
We drove across the province last weekend to go to Nova Scotia’s largest zoo. I had planned to get some striped bass fishing in, but forgot my fshing rod at home. Oaklawn Farm Zoo is home and birthplace of the largest lion in captivity, Rutledge, who weighs over 800 pounds! While this zoo is quite small, compared to my favorite zoo, Toronto Zoo, it’s prefect for young children and has plenty to see in a small area. It only costs $6.50 per adult, and children under 3 are free to enter!

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 [...]

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 [...]
Hi all,
I am Dick van Hattem. The men who caught this wonderfull pike in the Netherlands.
The pike was actualy 120 cm long, weight exactly 16.5 kilo's and was caught on a death perch on 10 meter deep water on 27 december 2000.
But now.... the photo was shopped for fun. I had a reading for a fishingclub and this was the last picture of the reading I had for 100 quest. Name of the picture.... I have a dream..... Everybode was laughing. Really funny, never claimed the world record. Because it is not by far.
