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…

In case that last video of the fish parasites was just too much for you to bear this next video will have you on the edge of your seat, and not in preparation of running to the nearest bathroom!
I’ve heard a lot about The Cove over the past couple of months. The movie made its round in theaters last year, but I couldn’t find any local shows to go see. As of December, the film was released on DVD and I’ve been wanting to get my hands on it – today I finally did. There are a lot of things to be said about this film, but all I have to say is go and buy this movie, or rent it, or do whatever you need to do to watch it. Not only was this the best documentary of 2009, but in my opinion, the best movie of the year too.
I dug up a few old fishing photos recently, so I figured it would be a good idea to take a look back at the history of Fishing Fury. I’ve been very lucky my entire life to be surrounded by fishermen, both friends and family. When I was 10 or eleven we spent some time [...]
