Bream - 2012

Like magic, as the temperature drops and we don jackets and beanies, the bream appear.They have been raised on a pedestal in recent years by the lure casting tournament angler but are still the bread and butter mainstay of the...

Compelling reason to use synthetic rope on your winch: IT FLOATS ON WATER. USER FRIENDLY, EASY TO HANDLE, NO MORE PIECES OF WIRE IN YOUR HANDS. QUALITY ROPE IS UV STABILIZED, GIVING GOOD SUN RESISTANCE. IT RESISTS BENDING FATIGUE, A BIG WEAKNESS WITH WIRE. VERY...

Archery came along in pretty much the same epoch as the wheel. Cavemen traded in their clubs and spears somewhere around the millennia they could woo beloved in a souped up chariot rather than dragging them by the hair. Archery and...

THE bellows echoed down the Boyne Valley. I'd heard rutting red deer stags before but never that far north. In any case, it was academic. I was fishing and boats and guns aren't a good mix. The Boyne River runs through a...

VHF Marine Radio Summary

For comparison purposes, I have compiled a list of the more popular brand BASE MODEL marine radios showing their features and aprox online/street pricing. (No particular order) All specifications have been taken off the manufacturer's website. I have included my own comments and...

After we’ve missed, it’s easier to go blaming the gun. Sometimes we’re right, especially if there’s a telescopic sight involved and it takes a knock. In a lot of cases however, we’d be better off looking elsewhere. Perhaps at ones self. Many shots...

Dawn, Lake Cowal, sometime in the late 1960s. Hunters from as far afield as Melbourne and Sydney had been arriving during the previous afternoon and through the night. The lake lays roughly half way between. Duck opening day had become a supervised event that...

Drawing a bead. The phrase has been in the long arms lexicon since the days of Davey Crockett. To line up the ducks, is another that lives on in today’s language. Original meanings had more to do with the rudimentary gun...

India 14 – Australia 3. So went the shooting events gold medal tally at the recent Commonwealth Games. A pretty good outcome for the host nation, a country more noted for curry that’ll clear the sinus and conscience than crack shots. A bit...

Just about everyone watched Smiley. The 1950s movie classic was about the getting of responsibility by an exuberant country kid. His reward, when finally declared mischief-free, was a rifle. The theme tapped some national sentiment. A pea rifle was something to be looked forward to...

Getting Used to It

I’m always being told about a new lure or plastic that is braining the fish. When nuclear chicken colored plastics first hit the water it was hard to keep them on the tackle shop shelves, before that it was pearl olive and before that watermelon. This is...

As temperatures drop for winter, we see a change in the dominant fish species caught. Generally speaking, in the summer months you catch summer fish and in the winter months you catch winter fish. It is not quite that cut and dry though; some species are just...

I had the pleasure of fishing with one of the local offshore gurus in my area recently. I’ve read his writings in magazines for quite a few years and was impressed with his knowledge and skills. What surprised me was that he gets violently seasick the minute...

For many families, boating and fishing is a holiday activity participated in a few times a year. The problem with that is the boat can sit for long periods of time with little or no maintenance and when it’s time to get it wet, the wheels...

Boats sink when they fill with water and there are only two ways a boat can fill with water: It either comes over the gunwale or it comes in through the hull.Let’s look at preventing it coming through the hull; There’s not a lot you...

‘Pump and wind’ is a catch dry often heard when hooked up to a decent fish.The idea is you lift the rod which gains you a little line and brings the fish a little closer.Then you lower the rod winding in the line you’ve gained.Repeated...

Getting the kids into fishing can be a very rewarding pastime.You get the satisfaction of watching them enjoy themselves and they get the benefits of a healthy outdoor activity away from televisions and computers.But kids get board quickly so you need to make fishing more...

Most State regulations stipulate that boats venturing into open water must carry an EPIRB.For those new to boating, an EPRIB is an electronic position indicating radio beacon.That means if you set it off, it will indicate your position by radio to monitoring authorities.A great safety...

A mate of mine nearly drowned last week while fishing the surf. Very experienced he made one small error, he didn’t wear a belt. Hard to understand how not wearing a belt could nearly drown you but it did; this is how it happened. He was wearing chest...

Recently I was asked whether to use a wire trace or not when tailor fishing. It is not as simple as a yes or no answer. My golden rule for fooling fish is, the less obvious your tackle, the more and bigger fish you are going to...
