Turn a Can Tab Into a Fish Hook

Clive Mathias — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 03:12:26 +0000

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!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day From Team Fury!

Five years ago today I kissed the woman who would become my wife, for the first time. Myself, Jordan and a lovely little redhead named Gillian had spent the evening at the only Irish bar in La Paz, Mexico (the only Irish bar in all of Mexico for all I know) I cant remember if we drank green beer, but the drinks were flowing throughout the night. After several hours I was well fueled up on liquid courage, but it took me until the very end of the night before I made my move. The luck of the Irish must have been with me that night though, because when I kissed her, she actually kissed my back!

So your Fishing Fury tip of the day: At the end of the night, find the most beautiful girl you can and kiss her. You never know what will happen next.

Lakemaid Winter Edition Is Here!

Those Lakemaid beauties are back, and ready to warm you up this winter. And by warm you up, I mean get you drunk.

Available only during ice fishing season – December through late February – Lakemaid Beer Winter Edition is a refreshing, smooth, classic American lager inspired by freshwater mermaids, known as lakemaids, who live in the lakes and rivers of North Country. Long ago, these beautiful creatures of the deep found their way inland from the oceans, down tributaries such as the St. Lawrence Seaway, into the Great Lakes and then, to cool, clear freshwater lakes and rivers throughout fishing country.

The introduction of Lakemaid Beer Winter Edition is in direct response to the success of the summer or open water edition of Lakemaid Beer, which was introduced two years ago by the August Schell Brewery, the second oldest family owned brewery in the United States, and Rapala, manufacturer of legendary Rapala fishing lures and knives. The response was so overwhelming to the summer edition of Lakemaid Beer that Schell’s and Rapala decided to offer a winter brew especially for ice fishermen. Same great beer, only colder!

And if these scantily clad Lakemaids on every bottle aren’t enough to make you want to buy a bottle, Lakemaid Beer will be donating a portion of the proceeds from Lakemaid Beer Winter Edition, to the International Game Fish Association, www.igfa.org, to help with gamefish research and freshwater conservation efforts.

In other news, August Schell Brewing Company, the brewery behind Lakemaid Beer is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2010! You don’t spend 150 years in the business if you don’t know how to make a great beer!

Even the most interesting man in the world likes fishing, and Dos Equis. If you haven’t seen these commercials, they are all pretty hilarious.

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada! Lucky for me, I married into a family with extraordinary cooks, including one who is actually a chef. No doubt today’s menu will be filled with deliciousness! I’m not exactly what we’re eating, but I know there will be scallops and turkey!

Happy Thanksgiving!
