Vancouver Attractions – Capilano Suspension Bridge

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

I know folks that take off at the holidays and go skiing. I know folks that head to the islands at New Years, but how many of us get to ‘take off’ and go fishing out of state?

What about fishing at the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver? Aw, I bet they don’t allow people to fish from the bridge, you hardly see that anymore Saw just that on a recent trip to Honobia OK! but I bet there’d be good fishin’ down at the bottom!

You could stay in a nearby property in the Canadian Rockies (more good fishin!) or nearby on Mackenzie Beach in Tofino, B.C.

Talk about a truly unmatched natural setting, the views from Moraine Lake Lodge are breathtaking. Turquoise waters, towering evergreens and majestic views of Mount Stephen, Cathedral Mmountain, Kicking Horse River as well as other nearby Vancouver attractions and the lake.

A fishing trip to Canada just takes your breath away. The scenery as well as the fishing is just so different than it is back here in Oklahoma. Now to get the ‘other half’ to agree to spending Christmas week enjoying the beauty of Canada. That means fishin!!!

Sharing Fish on FB

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ever been really short on phone minutes, and too far away from a land-line or an internet connection to do anything about it?

The Boost Mobile system that lets you reload your phone minutes, straight from your mobile! And even if you’re right up to the wire. The scoop? Just key in a special code and you’re connected. You can then add minutes (or Re-Boost) the account, enough to hold you over til you get home, or a whole month, your call.

Once you’re home you have the option of paying online or in person too. You can even use your credit card to make a payment (like when you’re away from your local store) or sign-up for automatic payments.

Plus there’s nothing like being out on the lake, catching a whopper and then sharing it with your Facebook and Twitter friends, right then and there, while you’re still super excited! AND, these new phone offer UNLIMITED connections to Facebook for one low price per month.

I like the fact that I can use my current phone, a Blackberry because, well, I’ve grown accustomed to it, and it’s grown accustomed to the back pocket of my jeans.

Legal Fishing in Nashville

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

If you’re fishing and get caught fishing without a fishing license you typically get a ticket (fine) and have to give up your catch.

People in Nashville that get caught fishing without a license, and don’t have proper identification, can get put in jail. Illegal immigrants can also be deported.

Since 07, 820 people have been cited for fishing without a license (Nashville) and out of that 820 people, 27 were illegal immigrants.

I guess the point is, don’t go fishing without your wallet!

Lake Poway Fishing Pass

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Lake Poway in California has come up with a new angle on fishing. The city will be offering ‘monthly’ fishing passes beginning July 1st.

The fee will be $90 for and $42 for bass. The savings results from not having to stop and procure a permit every time they visit.

While some of us might think the monthly fees are a little pricey, they actually save the NC fisherman a little bit of moula.

Daily fishing permits are $6, so regular fisherman will save a considerable amount each month.

Stats show that sport fishermen make up the biggest percentage of fisherman with family fisherman make up the biggest market.

Summer hours are 7 a.m. to sunset on other days.

A state fishing license is not required at Lake Poway. There is a nonresident parking charge of $5 per auto, recreational vehicle or bus and $2 per motorcycles on weekends and holidays only.

Oregon Opens Black River

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

It still seems a little strange to me that people in other places might have to wait for the opening of a particular stream or region before they can fish in it.

I’m sure it has something to do with extreme weather. So all you Oregonians get ready! June 5th is the opening of the Black River for fishing.

Anglers can fish the Black River from the mouth of Black Lake and all the tributaries west of Interstate 5, including Waddell Creek, Mima Creek, Dempsey Creek, Beaver Creek, Salmon Creek and Blooms Ditch.

For trout, the daily limit is two fish, with a minimum size of 14 inches. Selective gear rules are in effect. Using internal combustion motors is prohibited.

For other game fish, the statewide minimum size and daily limits apply. Selective gear rules are in effect. Internal combustion motors prohibited

Oregonians, let’s get fishin’!

Fish Tried to Land a Big One

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Location: Pensacola Beach: Bob Sikes Fishing Pier
Time:Friday afternoon
Who: Nice married woman

Circumstances: While trying to net her husbands redfish catch, the fish decided for one more getaway try and ended up pulling Patricia Tenuto into the water. She fell a good 20 feet into the water.

Her spouse, tossed down his pole and called 911 but stayed on the pier with their toddler son. Down under the pier, Patricia hung onto a piling and awaited help.

Lifeguards quickly retrieved her.

As for Paul and Patricia? They say they’ll be back. They’ll be after the one that got away.

Utah’s HB 141

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Utah’s governor, Herbert signed into law House Bill 141, the stream access bill.

The bill limits access to waterways…

The way I understand it, the current rivers are open to fisherman provided they ‘enter’ on public lands. The new law prohibits access to private streambeds. This would require getting permission from the landowners on the river or stream.

Talk about a headache!

GaGa

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Who goes fishing in high heels, skimpy underwear and a mans shirt?

Not your wife!

It’s Lady Gaga.

She recently made a trip to Waiheke Island for a little fishing and ventured down to the waterfront in eight-inch heels, undies and a man’s button front shirt.

Oh my. Bet that was a sight!

Non-Essentials to Pack

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Wondering how to keep those kids corralled during your next fishing trip? Kids just won’t ‘fish’ all the time – they need some distractions.

Hardy Boys books and board games just do not cut it when you’re out fishing. You need something to keep those kids busy that can be used outside.

Consider buying and taking along one of those new radio controlled helicopters. Hide that Radio Control Helicopter amongst the non-essentials in the back of the truck or rv and bring it out when the kids give you that eventual “I’m bored” speech.

They sure won’t be bored anymore!

And chances are you’ll let the poles fish themselves while you play some too!

Fishing in Hawaii? Big Changes Ahead

Fishing in Hawaii? Big Changes Ahead

Hawaii is planning on putting restrictions on overnight camping on Kapapa Island as well as other wildlife sanctuary areas. The overnight ban will hurt night fisherman.

Other changes in the planning session included pier and mooring fee increases, as well as entry and parking fees at state parks. The plan was to raise $8 million ‘per year’ in these new and increased fees. The money would be used for repair, maintenance, and operational improvements in state parks, harbors, trails, boat ramps, moorings and piers.
