Behold The Boat Wheelie

Now if you did this while trolling for musky you would really blow my mind!

Schwag Showcase

Ken Reece wrote in to let us know that he got his beer cozy from one of our Manitou Boats contests! Did anyone else get some cool schwag from us last year? We’d love to see photos of you and your prizes!

Evinrude Etec Commercials

I’ve never used an Evinrude Etec engine, so I cant comment on their quality. I can however comment on their commercials, and if you ask me, they are hilarious!

Crazy Capizzi And His Crazy Homemade Jetboat!

Here at Fishing Fury, we fully endorse this sort of behavior – as long as its far away from where we are fishing.

“Hey, my friends call me Crazy Capizzi. This is what you get when you cross a john boat with a jet ski! Too Fast! This is a $300 97 tighr shark jet ski motor and a $25 12′ aluminum boat. it probably did about 40mph in about 2 seconds. I built it in one weekend. Unfortunately once it got op to top speed it would make a hard turn. I think it needed more of a V bottom.”

I wonder why they call him crazy?

Triumph Boats – The Toughest Boats In The World

I was able to get out to the Halifax International Boat Show this weekend and really had a good time. I would have liked to see a fishing and boat show combination like most other cities have, but I guess the demand isn’t here yet. There were way more boats then I expected and my two year old son Ash absolutely loved every minute. He immediately hopped in the captains seat on every boat and started pressing buttons. I was surprised to see that most of the boats still had power (at all of the car shows I’ve been to, the batteries are disconnected) and Ash scarred more then a few people when he managed to find the horn of a big Striper 3301.

Overall there were only a handful of boats that really stood out to me, but my favorite boat was from the Triumph lineup (specifically the 1700 SKiff). Not only did their boats catch my attention, but they were moderately priced, tough as hell and my son loved them too! He laughed hysterically while watching their promo videos…

When Lightning Strikes

When I was younger we spent a lot of time in and near lakes, rivers and ponds. Were were allowed to swim and play as long as there were no lightning storms. It made sense, lightning is dangerous, but I had never actually seen anyone get hit by lightning on a lake until now. I came across these gruesome photos a little while back and was blown away. It’s a grim reminder of how important it is to get your boat off the water when the weather gets bad.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) – A lightning strike on a fishing boat killed one man
and injured another. State wildlife agents say Saturday’s strike on Old
Black Bayou near Lake Charles killed 44-year-old Joe Landry. He was
pronounced dead at the scene. His fishing partner – Richard Bergeron of Lake
Charles- was treated and released later Saturday from a hospital.
Investigators say the two were attempting to pick up anchor and retreat from
a small storm when lightning hit.
