Okay, this item is not new as it appears to have been on the market for at least a year…but I just noticed it while perusing my recent Cabela’s catalog. At first I thought it must be some kind of misprint. I mean, could a spinning reel possibly cost $750 and not be 14 kt [...]

Earlier today I stopped by the 2nd Annual Holes For Heroes ice fishing event to watch some of the action. The event was held on Medicine Lake in Plymouth, MN and is held to honor those veterans who have served, as well those currently serving in the military overseas. The event was sponsored by Fishing for Life.

Okay, I’ve covered many aspects of W.L. Gore’s Gore-Tex® membrane technology over the past several blog posts.

First observed this little video over at Moldy Chum and thought I would share it. Some people have just way too much time on their hands to create a tip-up like this. Instead of a typical flag to alert the fisherman to a strike, this contraption uses a Rattle Reel that ultimately detonates and launches a [...]

Why doesn’t more state game and fish departments put their rule books for hunting and fishing laws into the form of a smart phone app? It makes just too much sense. Frankly, I carry my phone with me almost at all times. I would love to have ready access to the information it contains—if for no other reason than to verify what I already believe the rules to be.
An app could also enable a hunter to put in a key word and quickly find the section that pertains to the issue in question. Honestly, there are a multitude of reasons it just makes sense for a hunting and fishing rules app.
