This guy’s packing some serious ordinance on his kayak! And by ordinance I mean his moustache.

FYI Returns!

Dave Mercer returns, from fishing and probably washing and waxing that boat I’m waiting to win. A perfect start to the day, at least for me!

How Not To Load Your Jet Ski

As a fisherman, there are few things more annoying to me then people riding jet skis. I almost feel sorry for this guy, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for stupid people!

Fishing Fury 2010 Redesign!

Jonathon Marshall — Sat, 01 May 2010 02:46:25 +0000

If you’re reading this then I’ve successfully installed our new 2010 redesigned theme! I’m still in the process of poking around looking for and fixing minor bugs. If you notice any problems with the theme or site please do not hesitate to contact us (staff@fishingfury.com).

There are a number of surprises in this theme, some of which you may not notice right away, and others we haven’t even turned on yet. One of my favorite additions, and also one of the last, is the new rating system for reviews. We’ve ditched that boring old star rating system and opted for our own purely custom system. The ranking system is from 0 to 5, with relative ranks in the order of: FAIL, Feeble, Flawed, Fair, Fantastic, and Furious. Hopefully we won’t be seeing any failed and feeble product reviews anytime soon, but it’s entirely possible. Below are two examples of what the ratings look like. You can read the Springwood Cottages review for a real-world example.

Please let us know what you think in the comments, your opinion is important to us!

Fantastic (4 of 5)
This is a custom rating message about something.

Launching A Boat, You’re Doing It Wrong

Not sure what happened here, but something went terribly terribly wrong. I mean, backing a boat in to the water can be a pain, but what was this guy thinking?

Swivel Fail

Jonathon Marshall — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:46:38 +0000

I posted this image in the forums but I don’t think anyone took a close look at it. This photo was taken by a fellow named Ed that I met while fishing on Sunday.

This 25″ or so pike hit really hard and some how was able to mangle the snap swivel on the end of my leader. I did my best to tire this guy out and keep my line tight so that he wouldn’t get away. Right up until I got him almost on shore and grabbed him he flipped back into the water and swam away with a fresh piece of Mepps bling still in his mouth.

It was a horrible start to a beautiful day. Later we saw a couple smaller pike following our baits all the way up to the shoreline, but no other pike were caught. I’ve also updated the Toronto Islands 2009 photo gallery to include some new photos!
