The biggest problem I see in folks not catching fish is that they suffer from an inability to know what they want to catch. For instance, a cruising sailor will often just pick a lure at random, attach it to their line, and drag it behind the boat where they ignore it till they bring …
Back when I was a kid you could hit the tackle shop on the pier and buy a hand line for a buck and they’d throw in a few dead anchovies for free and you were in business. These days it’s a whole different story. A while back I did a post on putting together …
Fish&Save (one of the few places I buy fishing gear from) has an excellent deal on rigged squid lures for $0.69. a pop in their clearance section. Quite a selection in colors as well and very much worth checking out.
One of the purveyors of fishing gear I generally buy stuff from is Fish & Save as they offer good gear, great prices, and ship stuff quickly. They also, if you’re on their mailing list send out their deals for the day and let you know when they have sales going on. I’d say it’s …
The other day I caught this video about the L.B. Huntington company and its drone spoons. So, it got me thinking… Way back when folks actually trolled lures under oar power as a normal method of catching fish. Nothing actually surprising in that bit of knowledge but it’s so far off the norm that it …
The other day a friend dropped me a line brimming with excitement over the fact that he’d taken my advice and trolled a spoon instead of his same old same rubber squid and caught a Mahi Mahi. In point of fact, the “spoon” he was using happened to be a Wobbler by Jake’s Lures. As …
So, I saw this the other day… It would appear that the folks at Chasebaits have significantly raised the bar with their Ultimate squid on what a plastic squid should be. Color me all kinds of impressed. Pretty as well. I’ve owned about a kazillion lures that looked like they’d be the chosen plat …
When putting together an optimum handlining rig for trolling the first thing you need to factor in is what exactly you want to catch. For instance, if you want to catch mackerel your rig would look something like this. In my experience, this rig seriously rocks and is a perfect example of a highly evolved …
A while back, a friend asked my opinion on the best rig for handlining from a sailboat which at first glance seemed like a simple request. Seriously, how can you improve on some line with a hook on the end? The funny thing is that the more I thought about it the more complicated the …
Sail Delmarva (a blog I regularly enjoy) has a fish story that should raise a smile. You’re still here?
