I just posted a short report and photos in the forums about the salmon fishing trip I went on yesterday. Dave landed three solid fish, and there were several other guys that landed some absolutely massive ones. I still haven’t managed to land anything on my float setup yet, but I’m getting better and closer. I also dropped my reel in the water and had to fish it out by stripping all the line and backing which was a huge headache. I may head out again in the morning to the Credit River, hopefully I’ll have better luck.

We all know anglers that seek the largest fish they can catch, but have you ever met those who try to catch the smallest fish they can, on a hook and line? Here in Japan, I have done so, and been lucky enough to indulge this particular variety of fishing.
Not unreasonably, most sport anglers want to catch trophy fish; the bigger the better (indeed, we all know anglers whose catches continue to grow in size long after the event, growing bigger with each recounting of the story of the fishing trip). However, this is Japan, where miniaturization pervades all aspects of life, in gardening, art, computers, electronics; we all have seen the clichéd ‘capsule’ hotels and bonsai pine trees you can pick up with two fingers. This also applies to sport fishing, in one of the oldest angling traditions in this country: tanago fishing.
Humphrey Simmons caught more than a shark on his fishing trip with friends when suddenly a huge tiger shark took the bait. Once Simmons was able to bring the shark close enough to the boat one of his friends dispatched the shark with several gun shots. The rest, is pretty disgusting..
This year we’re really trying to expand the reviews section of our website, and we’ve got some great ones coming this summer. The newest addition to the ranks is my review of the Roam Products Fishermen’s Tack Pack. There’s a teaser below this image, but you should probably just jump right into the full review!
Construction & Appearance
The exterior of the Tack Pack is made from a light, durable nylon that’s stain and water resistant. The Tack Pack comes in several colours, I think the textured camouflage looks the best, but there is also a red and black vinyl, as well as a smooth black nylon. The edges are only single stitched but show no signs of wear after an intense three day shore fishing trip shuffling around my back pack as well as being pulled and picked for various items. The ring clip is riveted securely into position through a piece of solid material sewn into the tack pack’s center, and the exterior clip is your standard plastic release buckle.
The grand prize is a 3-night, 4-day, all inclusive fishing trip to Waterfall Resort in Alaska! So if a legendary trip to Alaska to fish for huge salmon and halibut has got you excited get out your camera or favorite editing suite and upload your video!
As of January 1, 2012, fresh waters in Massachusetts have gone lead free for sinkers and jigs under 1 oz. It's always good so see another steel option because tungsten is so much more [...]
Considering the "winter" we've been having here in New England, I couldn't give an honest review even if they just gave me one. I hope things are messier/colder up there.
John, well firstly this is a fishing blog and therefore we cover everything related to fishing that should be obvious. Both retailers you mentioned do not give any of their profits (that I know of) [...]
