I forecast a High of 80 degrees and a chance of Bonefish
It’s probably a good thing I’ve been busy from sun up to sun down lately and just noticed this morning that it’s March 16th. As in…Holy Bonefish…I leave for the Deneki FIBFest, �Andros South,�in exactly 9 days! This may or may not be a good time for random admissions. It might be more prudent of [...]

STORMR Jacket ? First Impressions
We posted a video about the STORMR jacket a few days ago, and I’m happy to tell you that we’ve gotten our hands on one for review! We’re going to find out if STORMR can defy the elements of a sloppy, slushy, unpredictable Toronto winter. Just to refresh your memory the STORMR jacket is made [...]

I meant to do that (and other fly fishing flubs)
Flub #1 ~ I caught this fish when technically I was trying for a different one that I missed. Flub #2 ~ My�pronunciation�of Tom Larimers last name. Flub #3 ~ Try to act all smart and cool-mo-dee when trying to hold a slippery (little suckers) bonefish. As you’ll see in the video, the fish taught [...]

$2.30 per liter and rising
A good friend of mine, Nick Hannan of Marine Graphics Ink, is visiting from Melbourne, Australia. I have introduced him before. He is the one who helped create my logo and was featured on this site with his speed drawing videos. 
We just had to go for a fish. After all, isn't that what life is about?
I have decided to do my part for the environment and conserve fuel. So when we head out we troll instead of running full speed to the reefs. Ok, actually I am just trying to ease the pain on my pocket book. Fuel here in Fiji is around $2.30 a liter and rising, so every little bit helps.
Now everyone is tuned into fishing. We resume trolling and within minutes we have another strike. This one is a much better fish. It is taking line and Nick is on the rod. The fish finally slows down and Nick starts to gain back a bit. Then another run and...........gone! Bit right through the steel leader. Damn! Maybe a Wahoo or Spanish Mackerel.
As the popping session continues it seems there is a bit of lock jaw going on. Not only that but we barely raise a fish.
All goes quiet again as Rosie and Nick get into a rhythm of casting and popping to cover ground. Still, it seems as if the fish have gone on vacation. This continues for the next couple of hours until our two casting machines are pretty much done.
Well it turned out to be a good day once again. After all it beats work hands down.
This day it would be Rosie, Nick, Brendan and myself. It was a beauty of a day, flat seas and no wind.

Anyways, we start trolling and everyones spirits are high. About 15 minutes out two of the rods go off. Now with our spirits high and all a bit of pandemonium breaks out. I don't think anyone was ready for a fish.
Luckily all on board are seasoned anglers and soon have the other lines cleared and two small Yellowfin Tuna are soon on deck.

That was it for the trolling. Time to popper fish.
To say we had a bit of gear on board would be an understatement. I think we each had three complete setups.
Nick and Rosie immediately get into casting big poppers trying to raise a GT. Brendan on the other hand decides to do a bit of jigging using a Lucanus jig by Shimano.
Now this kind of jigging is done by dropping the jig to the bottom and winding up a crank or two. That's it, just let the boat move up and down and the drift does the rest. It can be very deadly on grouper and cod.
At last, Brendan is hooked up and as he starts pumping his catch to the surface we all wait in anticipation.
Wow it's the fishes house!

We cover a huge amount of ground until finally Rosie hooks a Bluefin trevally.

| From Brendan and Nick Feb 2011 |
It is a big job casting 50lb gear all day.
Opportunity presented itself for yours truly to step up to the front of the boat and sling a few lures. Rosie and Nick were having a rest and Brendan was still jigging when I had Rosie take the wheel.
Now fishing is a fickle sport. Were as two people can throw the exact same bait to the same spot and one will catch and the other will get frustrated. Guess where this analogy is going.
I make a few casts and as it happens, I immediately get a nice strike and hook-up a GT. After a short fight I boat a nice GT and return to the wheel. Of course all of that happened with a lot of curses and prodding for catching a fish so quickly.

Bass Fishing Heats Up on Lake Baccarac
Date: December 4th, 2011
Name: Lake Baccarac, Mexico
Hottest Baits: senkos, spinnerbaits
Hottest Colors: watermelon, shad
Date Fished: December, 2011
Comments: Just got back in from the lodge. Cooler weather has set in and we had a couple of days of nice rainfall. The water temperature has dropped about ten degrees. It has affected the fishing, but only for a couple of days. Since December 1st, we have had Gale Vaught at the lodge and he absolutely had a fantastic trip, catching countless four to seven lb. bass and a nine lb. bass reported, along with three over 10 lbs.
Gale stated, you have to work hard for the catches, but for what I caught, it was worth the hard work! Larry Beard and his son, Matt, also have been at the lodge for the last few days and they reported catching nine fish over 9 lbs., fifteen over 8 lbs., twenty over 7 lbs. Larry has been to our lodge many times, and he says this was his third-best trip. He predicts that the spring season is going to be fantastic.
Also reported that you had to work had for what you caught, but the average size was incredible. The Steve Charbonneau group had a couple of slow days until today, and it was just reported that Steve and his partner caught three over 10 lbs. at today?s morning session while fishing islands with steep drop-offs. One oz. spinner baits are working very well, along with senkos and we have caught fish from 45 feet deep to five feet deep.

Lake Baccarac - January, 2012 Bass Fishing Report
Date: January 16th, 2012
Name: Lake Baccarac, Mexico
Hottest Baits: senkos, 1 oz spinnerbaits, topwater yellow magic
Hottest Colors: watermelon red senko and swimbaits, ratl traps, power worms
Date Fished: January, 2012
Name: Lake Baccarac, Mexico
Hottest Baits: senkos, 1 oz spinnerbaits, topwater yellow magic
Hottest Colors: watermelon red senko and swimbaits, ratl traps, power worms
Date Fished: January, 2012
Comments: January 2nd through 6th, we had quite a few bigger bass caught on top water with our Japanese clients. They fish predominantly top water and managed to get four fish over 10 lbs. January 7th through the 12th, fishing was average. The numbers were very good for largemouth bass between 2 and 5 lbs., mostly using watermelon lizards.
Over the last four days, one oz. spinnerbaits once again produced big fish, with several bass in the 9 lb. class being caught and two largemouth over 10 lbs. landed. Black and blue one oz. jigs are working great for the fish that are still on the main points. Weightless senkos rigged wacky style also are working on those main lake point bass. The water temperature has risen from a low of around 66 degrees and it?s now 71 degrees.
The lake is a little bit stained and very low. Actually, it?s the lowest I have ever seen it but others have seen it slightly lower. In regards to the water level, the lake has very little useful water left in the lake, meaning that they will not be able to irrigate from the lake very much longer. We should have stable water conditions, something I?ve never seen, very soon. I understand that in the past, the low water did not really affect the overall fishing. Something we do have to look forward to when we get the summer rains, it will produce very exciting fall bass fishing on Lake Baccarac.

Fishing Lines, Deadly When Discarded, Pose Threat to Birds in City Parks
Park Birds Snagged by Fishing Line and Hooks
Carelessly discarded fishing line and hooks in Prospect Park is posing a threat to birds.
It is sad and disheartening to hear that people still leave fishing line around.
"The problem is not new ? or limited to Prospect Park. Birders in other city and state parks report similar cases. The Ocean Conservancy in Washington points out that monofilament fishing line, which is made from an individual fiber of plastic, has been in use since World War II, and as the decades pass, it has accumulated in the water and on land. For a quarter-century, the conservancy has organized coastal cleanups throughout the world on a single day in September. Over that time, 1,340,114 pieces of discarded fishing line have been collected, according to the group.
?Plastics in general are the most persistent forms of marine debris,? said Nicholas Mallos, a conservation biologist with the conservancy. ?Once monofilament line becomes loose in the marine environment, it poses a serious threat.?"
Please remember, do not leave fishing line in the water or on the land, dispose of it properly or recycle it. Talk to your tackle store about line recycling.
Line Recycling
Re spool and Recycle
Public response to Berkley's innovative line and spool recycling program has been remarkable. Since 1990, the Berkley Conservation Institute, with the help of anglers everywhere, has recycled more than 9 million miles worth of fishing line. That's enough line to fill two reels for every angler in America.
And it continues to grow! Retailers and marinas have provided their support by displaying over 17,000 recycling collection bins. Magazines and radio stations have provided public service announcements.
Please continue your support. Pick up discarded fishing line and recycle it by dropping it off in a recycling collection bin, or mail it directly to our collection center at:
Berkley Recycling

Spirit Lake, Iowa 51360
Recycling Resources:
Florida Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program
The Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program (MRRP) is a statewide effort in Florida to educate the public on the problems caused by monofilament line left in the environment, to encourage recycling through a network of line recycling bins and drop-off locations in Florida , and to conduct volunteer monofilament line cleanup events.
