First it was Scotland, then Canada. Now a "Nessie" has turned up in the States! Reports of a Loch Ness type creature are turning up in the Florida area. The animal has been sighted in Florida's canals and was first thought to be a large snake before a fin was claimed to have been seen.
The Madeira Beach, Florida area creature, nicknamed "Normandy Nessie" after Normandy Road where one of the first spotters lives, is reported to be around 15-20 feet long which equates to around 4.5 to just over 6 meters.
As with any mystery of nature, there are several doubters. In the Gulf Coast area, there are several manatees and many believe this is the culprit. Others believe it is one of the huge snakes which exist in Florida. Still, before anything is disproved, let's remember mention of a fin.
Whatever the verdict, it gives us something to talk about!

As anglers, it's important to always consider any scents that may be on your hands. Even if you can't detect an odor on your hands, fish may and that can be the reason for a light bite or no bite at all!
Worse still, washing away offensive odors such as gasoline or cigarettes merely substitutes one odor for another. In these cases, the lingering scent of soap or hand sanitizer can last long after you think you've cleaned your hands.
It's a good idea to grab a handful of soil, rub it into your hands, and then cast your line. This is doubly important if you're like me and retrieve your line through your fingers. Rubbing dirt on your hands will eliminate, or at least mask, any unnatural odors that might exist.

There's no denying Berkley's Gulp! is one of the best artificial baits on the market. However, it does have its drawbacks. It's got a pretty bad odor and it dries out.
Good news! You don't have to worry about those problems any more thanks to the Berkley® TEC™ - Gulp! Alive!™ Bait Management System.
Berkley's Management System
What is essentially a divided tray has been long in coming and should be popular with anglers who use Gulp! because the Management System fits several tackle bags as well as storage compartments on boats. What you end up with is six individual compartments to store both large and small baits.
From my own observations, a feature I like is the ability to remove any of the six compartments and replace it with a like sized container of another bait. As of yet, I haven't seen
replacement compartments on the market but I'm sure they'll turn up--even if it's in the backrooms!
The entire system is constructed from rugged polypropylene which should stand up to moisture and hold together for a long time.

The other day, I was talking to my friend Teeg Stouffer over at Recycled Fish and we decided it's a good time to get the word out about all the good work that's being done.

If fishing isn't your way to pass the time, a movie may be just the thing. If that's the case, you can combine the two with Jaws.
Most people know the story of Jaws--a great white shark terrorizes a beach at Martha's Vineyard. Unfortunately, Jaws also spawned three sequels--none equaling the compelling qualities of the first film.

It looks like I'm going to be doing a little shopping and it's not because the Holidays are coming up!
I got an email the other day that said Storm Lures has come out with a new offering that should produce a few bites called the Live Kickin' Shad.

Humans may be at the top of the food chain but we often tend to use that status too literally and blame our problems on "lower" species.

If goldfish could talk, what a tale they could tell! At least that's the case for one lucky goldfish in Lanarkshire, Scotland. His owner thought Pooh, as the fish has come to be called, was going belly up and down the tubes he went--the fish that is. Until he was rescued by a sewer worker.
