Veni, Vidi, Jugi - I Came, I Saw, I Jugged
Jug Fishing is in the realm of 'serious' catfishing. By serious, I mean it is for people who want to catch many catfish consistently and fill up the freezer. Most 'serious' catfish people will choose jug fishing over all other forms of fishing. It is fun, cheap, productive and easy to do. One of the advantages to jug fishing is that you can spread your jugs over a much larger area than is possible any other type of setline. It is also much easier to re-locate juglines from an unproductive area than it is for other setlines. Juglines can catch catfish, from eating size all the way to behemoths in the 50+ lb. range. They are a great way to catch many catfish in a short period. It is also one of the...
Marvellous Blackpool & Its Attractions

No Luck Fishing? Try Crabbing Instead!
If the fish aren't biting or you want a change from fishing then why not try crabbing? Crabs are delicious, easy to cook and great fun to catch. Below are 9 crabbing tips to help you catch some delicious crabs. 1) Target areas where crabs are located. Estuaries, rIvers, inlets and bays are all prime places to hunt for crabs. 2) Choose which method you are going to employ to catch the crabs. Using drop nets works well but is best from a boat. It can work from a jetty or pier but is less reliable this way. Using scoop nets on the water edge is fun but the crabs you get will often be undersized. Diving for crabs is both fun and exhilarating but requires a bit of skill and patience. 3) As with fishing...
A Thousand Fishing Flies... Or, So
A fly is a lure made to resemble an insect or other fish food. The idea behind the design is simple and true: make a lure that looks like the natural prey of some fish and they'll come racing onto the hook. Since at least the mid-17th century and probably for hundreds of years before, that idea has been tested over and over again. It works pretty well. The creativity of fishermen and their friends who make flies for fun and profit is astounding, not least to the anglers themselves. Flies are often as much works of art as practical devices. But practical they are. Whether made to look like a mayfly, a tiny prawn or even a small rodent, a great fly is a wonder. There is the humble Dry Fly. Designed to...
Tourist Attractions in Whitehorse
Whitehorse is the likeable capital of the Yukon, home to two thirds of its population, around 24,000 people. The centre of its mining and forestry industries, and a bustling, welcoming stop off for thousands of summer visitors. Whilst roads bring in todays business, the town owes its existence to the Yukon River, a 3000 kilometre artery that rises in the Coast Mountains and flows through the heart of the Yukon and Alaska to the Bering Sea. The rivers flood plain and strange escarpment above the present town were long a resting point for Dene peoples, but the spot burgeoned into a full blown city with the arrival of thousands of stampedes in the spring of 1898. Having braved the Chilkoot Pass to meet...
My Sacrifice -- a Prayer by Creed
The beginning of Creed's music video for "My Sacrifice" focuses on an elderly man sitting by himself. He is blind, judging by total whiteness of his eyes. This man is an older Scott Stapp. The man sits there, thoughtful, until he begins to sink into a reverie. The camera follows him into his reverie, zooming in on his ghostly eyes, deep enough to see his memories. The ensuing music video is the old man's daydream. It's a general flashback of his younger years. Everyone is carrying on in his old neighborhood as they used to all those years ago, except everything is covered with about 5 feet of water. There are kids playing baseball, the old movie house and even the mailman. No one is bothered by...
