Remind me to add some form of prosthetic device to my spinners, as these eyes ain’t what they once were. Perhaps a move to Alaska is in the cards, as my buddies mentioned the mosquitoes are as big as Honda Civics, and carry off farm animals and small children. That I may be able to see. I [...]

Our foray into the creek this weekend yielded a stunning find of great archeological significance. Proof that a prior, potentially advanced civilization may have had its roots in the area. Anthropologists speculate that the “Little Stinkers” have existed in the area for the last century (or more) and that many locals may even have interbred with the remnants of [...]

Drought in Georgia may pit humans against endangered species. Atlanta has 90 days of water supply left from Lake Lanier, and the Army Corp of Engineers is pumping that to Florida to save sturgeon and freshwater mussels. It’s likely to be a humdinger of a political issue for both state and federal governments.

The only debate that has raged longer than, “..is tying your own cheaper than buying them..” – is the issue of human scent as relates to fishing. I’m reluctant to even mention the issue as it usually sparks a storm of partisans, ending in somebody mentioning someone’s mother in a non flattering tone. Widely considered [...]

Striped Bass and Red Drum will achieve “game fish” status due to an executive order from George Bush to “make it so.” The game fish status will preclude commercial harvest of these species for restaurants and Fillet O’ Fish sandwiches. …and that’s a good thing for us sportsmen. While the west coast population of striped [...]

Brownliner gear is not for the dainty. It’s largely genetic and we’re proud to be social Visigoth’s, uncaring which fork goes with what dish, which sleeve to wipe our nose with – and how many minutes a food item can roll across the floor before it’s officially undesirable. Our gear reflects that mantra, it’s neither showy [...]

The War on Drugs has a silver lining for the Miskito Indians, as a unique combination of wind, tides, and interdiction has caused one of Nicaragua’s desolate coastal areas to be the recipient of tons of adrift cocaine. Villages that once eked an existence on shrimp and red-tinged lobster have been transformed. In place of [...]

So, what color is pissed anyway’s? Phillips Electronics is interested in feedback for their “emotion sensing jewelry” – that’s right, jewelry that changes color based on the emotion of the wearer. I’m thinking strictly of fishermen here, as the only emotions fly fishermen exhibit are; pissed, optimistic, and skunked. Who wants to walk in the [...]

The Upper and Lower Kercock of the River Tay are for sale for 3.1 million. Two and a half miles of river supporting 12 rods, fishing through 14 pools for salmon and sea trout.

Singlebarbed lures newbie to the Brownline, stunts his growth as a fisherman in the process. Angler earns nickname then loses it with golfing stunt.
