These next series of posts will take us around the globe to see what ultralight fishing options there are in other countries, maybe a fishing holiday is on the cards? Australia Fishing isn’t just a past time in Australia, its a way of life. Being an island nation with endless stretches of beaches and majority …
I’ve always wondered about what I would do if I had to choose just 1 setup to go fishing with for the rest of my life. I know, for sure, that it would be an ultralight setup, but it did take me a while to come to a final decision about what I’d be taking with me. What did I figure out? A 6’0” rod, with a nicely built high quality reel, some sturdy 4lb test line, and 1 specific set of soft plastics. I feel like this setup will let me catch fish almost anywhere, and under any conditions. Let’s get into the specifics of what I think the perfect ultralight setup is, and why I think I could use only it for the rest of my life if I had to.
It’s funny how in the excitement of the moment, when you catch a large fish, there is a higher chance of accidents happening. For example, loosing your footing and tumbling down a steep bank. I have seem multiple examples of this, like the woman you threw her pliers into the water twice in one fishing …
Check out this awesome video clip made at Lake Saarijärvi in Vaala, Finland. I guarantee you will like it. It made my day! Ready to give (conventional) ice fishing a try yourself. Be sure to check out our safety guidelines for ice thickness when ice fishing.
Hi Guys, I found a pretty cool music video about a girl that loves to fish. It’s the official music video of Craig Cambell’s hit single “Fish”. I’m not really into country music, but I can relate to this song. So I decided to share. Check it out. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Am8bSYIms] It’s nice to have a companion …
I’ve recently had the chance to to try out some polarized sunglasses from BTB Sport Optics. I’ve tested them for about a month in some of the most rugged conditions, interior Alaska in the beginning of “winter”. This is what I think about them. At first glance, the sunglasses I got from BTB seemed very …
I have never heard of back reeling until I came across this video on myoutdoortv.com. It’s an interesting concept, where instead of relying on your drag, you reel backwards to give the fish line, when it makes a strong run. I can’t believe I never thought of this myself. I’ll have to try this next …
Check out the size of this brown trout, caught on Lake Michigan. This would be the perfect sized fish to test out your ultralight fishing skills. If you can get a fish like this in, on 4 pound line, that would make you the king of all UL anglers. Anyway, enjoy the vid.
Based on personal experience and a few fishing forums I visited, the “release vs. keep” subject seems to be a touchy one. There are anglers on both sides of the spectrum that have extreme views on this matter. The catch-and-release extremists believe that all fish caught should be released immediately. And if you want to …
Check out this funny/cute video of a 3 year old boy catching his first fish. It definitely brought a smile to my face. I though you guys would like the video as much as I did. Enjoy.
