Information

A group devoted to the Angler and the Angler at Heart.

If the topic has anything to do with fishing, this is the place to post. Tell us your fishing stories, talk about tackle old and new! What you like and what you don’t like.

Bought some new equipment and want to tell us about? We want to hear about it.

Thinking about buying a new pole and want to know it if it is worth the money? Ask up!

Do you collect fishing tackle? Show it off with pride!

Any type of angler with any skill level is welcome!

And as this is I Knife Collector, this is also a place to talk about the knives made, used and collected by anglers! We especially want to see your fishing knives -- in the tackle box, on display, or in action!

Comment by John H Naffke Jr on June 9, 2015 at 18:08: Fishing is one of my favorite past times even though I don't get to do as much as I would like. Hopefully I can do more once I retire in a few years. Here's a picture of The Fishin Fools, we try to do at least one trip a year this is from our 2012 trip out of Destin FL on the Backdown II.

Comment by John G Cable on June 9, 2015 at 17:34: I fish quite often and have a boat and a cottage on 2000 acre lake here in MI. I collect old fishing reels going back to the 1880's. Think this is a good idea :-)

Comment by Syd Carr on June 9, 2015 at 16:13: Here is my first fishing pole. My dad's Eagle Claw split bamboo convertible fly casting/spinning rod, with South Bend Oren-O-Matic automatic fly reel. The cork handle has attachments at both ends & accepts either the fly rod, or when turned around it accepts the spinning rod. Both the rod(s) and the reel date from the late 40's early 50's, I still have the box for the reel. Caught my first fish on that rod, (a little six inch trout, pan size...yum!). This adorns the wall above my couch, right over my head, so it is always there to remind me that a bad day fishing is better than a good day doing most anything else, (except collecting knives of course).
