The Ultimate RC Fishing Boat!

January 3, 2015 By JD 1 Comment

Saw this baby at a local hobby shop…looks pretty fun! The “Happy Hook’r” even complete with a real rod and reel that you can crank remotely.

I’m glad I didn’t have this thing as a youth because I may have used it for no good!

Catching Atlantic Salmon in the Salt

June 11, 2014 By JD 2 Comments

Atlantic Salmon
You read plenty about catching Atlantic Salmon in freshwater, but I’ve always wondered if there’s an ocean troll fishery for them somewhere. Yes, these are the random things I think about when I can’t sleep. But anyway, apparently there are some offshore fisheries, including at least one in Denmark. A quick Google search led me to these these pix of absolutely gorgeous salmon on the Shark Cannonballs FB site, but there wasn’t a ton of info about the fishery. In fact, there was very little about catching Atlantics in the sea anywhere that I found on the internet.

Sure, I’d rather catch ’em in some beautiful river flowing through an enchanted forest, but these fish are so stinkin’ pretty, it makes me wanna catch one offshore too! And by the way, this is what an Atlantic Salmon is supposed to look like…not the round finned mutants from the net pens!

The late great Jose Wejebe shows you how to troll the dredge rig (think Alabama Rig here) for sails and dorado. There is some really cool underwater footage here…

Sweet Baits for Spring!

March 16, 2014 By JD 3 Comments

Paul's Custom Lures
I must admit I’d never heard of Paul’s Custom Lures out of Southern California before I received a little care package the other day. But I’m pretty sure they’re going to be in my arsenal going forward!

Check to the beautiful detail on these baits…very nice custom paint jobs and they feel extremely durable as well. My immediate thought after seeing these two samples: The 110 Redside (top) and the 130 Lavender Shad was: High Country browns and macks beware! The Redside looks very close to the Lahontan Redsides of the Tahoe Basin and the Lavender Shad is a spiting image of a young kokanee.

I look forward to dragging these things around soon and will report back. To see all the color combos, check out Paul’s Custom Lures.
