Beer Cocktails, No Thanks

Posted on May 28, 2011 by admin


I don’t really agree with the idea of beer cocktails but if you ever need to make some, here are a few ways. It just seems wrong. If we were talking a beer float, that would be something.

River Brew Review: Magic Hat Demo

Magic Hat Demo

Beer: Magic Hat Demo

The wettest spring on record continues in Vermont. Instead of being like the nutters I have seen trying to spin cast into the muddy brown mess of the main rivers, it is time to find some smaller water fishing options. Exploring the back roads of the Green Mountains for some small streams sounded like the best idea for the day. Continue reading →

I haven’t been fly fishing for carp for long, but I am pretty sure this little girl could teach me a thing or two. That fish is bigger than she is!

Now Here is a Different Way to Catch a Tuna, Bamboo Pole

Posted on May 26, 2011 by admin


So this video is sweet for two reasons. First, dude hooks a tuna on a fly rod and the drag screams for about a minute. Second, the captain uses a bamboo pole (not a fishing rod) with 4ft of rope and catches a 275lbs Tuna. Pretty amazing.

PS – You might not want to watch if you get sea sick or have vertigo!

Stripahs!

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Mike

Dale With a Nice Striper

Spending time on the East Coast has a lot of perks – home cooking, a bass boat at my disposal, and striped bass! This year I was able to come home a bit later and managed to catch the front end of the striper season.

Chris already posted some photos from my first foray into the salt down on Cape Cod, but this past Sunday I had a chance to go out with Captain Eliot Jenkins. Eliot’s boat, the “Yeah Buoy”, is perfect for fly fishing; it has a huge front casting deck, a super clean rear casting area, virtually nothing for your fly line to get caught on, and a huge 200 horse outboard motor to make sure that you are first to the fish.

The day looked promising from the start with acres and acres of bait and lots and lots of birds feeding. But the fish just didn’t cooperate, we saw two swirls on the day and that was it. For us the name of the game turned out to be blind casting our arms off to areas likely to hold fish. It paid off. Both Dale and I got into fish, we both managed to land out biggest striper of the season. Eliot is based out of Ipswich, Mass, but trailers his boat to wherever the fishing is best. Check out his website, www.greasybeaksflyfishing.com and give him a call if you are interested in chasing stripers. Now is the time, the big boys will be hitting the coast any day now and there is nothing Eliot likes more than chasing monster striped bass.

Wow, PBR is Branching Out

Posted on May 25, 2011 by admin

Blue Ribbon 1844

PBR is apparently involved in making more drinks than just PBR.  Pabst Blue Ribbon 1844 (named after the date the brewery was founded) is only available in China for a whopping $44 per bottle.  I am not really sure what the difference is besides the neat looking bottle but according to multiple sources it is a different brew.  PBR is also branching out into the bottled water market.  The way they are going, pretty soon they will take over the world.

Fishing Win: A Double the hard way!

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Mike


For the last two weeks I have been imposing on my parents’ hospitality and borrowing their boat. Their house is located on Pawtuckaway lake in NH, one of the best bass fisheries in the state. The weather has been mostly bad with a touch of good and the fishing has been a bit weird with water temps spiking up to almost 60 degrees two weeks ago and then dropping back down to the mid 50s this week.

Tonight it didn’t matter much, the smallies were eating and boy was it fun! On a drizzly, grey, foggy cool evening I landed my first ever double on the same lure. Continue reading →
