Japanese Tackle Shops
The first tackle shop I hit was Sansui. This is a small chain of stores in Tokyo. They deal in nice high-end tackle for all fishing disciplines. I went to the Shibuya location which was a little strange. They’re essentially 2 locations not far from one another, each with 2 stores. They have a saltwater store, fly fishing store, shore saltwater/main store, and a largemouth bass store. I went to them all and of course made a few purchases including an EverGreen Opus-1 spinning reel. This reel is very hard to get here in the US since there is no EverGreen presence in the States. In Japan they are one of the top, if not the top, bass fishing rod manufacturer. You can check out the unboxing photos in the galleries.

A Day At The Beach
Here’s a crazy time lapse video made during the creation of a giant whale sand sculpture made by Greenpeace Australia, presumably as part of an anti-whaling campaign.

Name That Fish!
This will probably be the last Name That Fish entry for the year 2008 so let’s make this a good one! This fish has appeared on Fishing Fury at least once before and is quite rare.
Let the guessing begin!

It Ain’t Easy Being a Fisherman
Who knew recession would hit us fishermen so hard?
This past summer gas prices were over $1.60 a litre here in Eastern Canada. Even though I drive a pretty economical car, those prices kept me fishing close to home. I’m sure many boat owners fished less then usual this year due to the gas prices as well. Now gas prices are under $0.70 a litre, and I should be happy about that I guess, but I’m really just annoyed! Am I the only one that fished less as a result of the high gas prices?

Woody (2 days, 15 hours ago)That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!
Jason Wilson (2 months, 2 weeks ago)I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
