Nice Brown

Our friend Joe Lupo doesn’t let cold weather stop his pursuit of brown trout. This gorgeous brown was caught December 17, 2011 on the Oswego River in New York on a snowy, 7 degree day. Joe, you are THE MAN! 

 

  

Hi Folks,

 

It’s bone chilling cold here. Gray skies, wind, snow. Winter for sure. So I was thinking about ice fishing. Not here in Southern Indiana, but in northern Wisconsin. Some time ago. And cold. Very, very cold.

 

All of you who read our newsletter with any regularity know I love to fish. I’m not that particular about species, location, or boat and motor. I do like good, reliable equipment, but otherwise I think of myself as pretty easy to please. I’ll fish out of a “leaker” of a boat as long as my shoes stay fairly dry. I’ll bank fish with a cane pole if asked. Want to fish in a farm pond for bluegill? Give me a call. I’ll be there. Want to go above the arctic circle? I’m in.

 

Our fishing season usually starts with a trip to Texas or Florida in February and then we just sorta work our way north from then until about September. Then we do a 180 degree turn and start heading back south again. By November we’re usually in Florida for the last of the season and then head home to Indiana for the holidays and wait for February again. That is, except for one year some time ago.

 

Before American Legacy Fishing I was in the industrial components business and had a great supplier in Wausau, Wisconsin. One year just after the first of January this supplier’s sales manager, Bud, called me at my office and asked if I would like to do some ice fishing with him and his buddies north of Wausau around Rhinelander. He told me they had a “Cadillac” ice house with all the amenities; gas powered ice auger, generator, “refreshments”, Coleman stove, and all the necessary equipment required for a successful fishing trip in the north country. All I needed to bring as desire and some warm clothes and boots.

 

I had never been ice fishing. Frankly the idea of spending time on a frozen lake holding a pole with a line that dropped through the ice hoping that an itinerant fish of whatever species would wander by and take my bait was, safe to say, not the most attractive proposition I had been offered as of late. But, Bud persisted assuring me that the ice house was “really cozy” and the camaraderie “the best”. Since Bud’s company was such a great supplier and Bud such a great guy I decided, against may better judgment I might add, to accept his offer.

 

By the weekend I had packed my gear and was on the road to Wausau to meet Bud. I arrived in the evening in time to have supper with Bud and his 3 friends who I would be spending many hours with in the ice house. We had a great meal and by the end of the evening I was excited about the prospect of spending the next day ice fishing, telling stories, and consuming some “beverages” that Bud and his pals promised to supply.

 

The next morning we met at a local diner for breakfast and a last minute check of gear. All seemed in order as we headed for the lake and Bud’s “home on the lake”. Now like I said, this was my first experience ice fishing. So I figured this ice house must be big, wallowing in creature comforts and cozy as a bug in a rug. Let me just say that assumption is not always a good thing. And in this case the adage “assume makes an ass out of U and me” seems appropriate.

 

As we drove out on the frozen lake (this is another story entirely) I soon spotted the abode that was Bud’s ice house. Simply put, it was not a Cadillac. Ramshackle would be a better description. A shack. Granted, it was out on the ice, but it was nothing near what I had imagined. It was pieced together out of what looked like scrap timber. There were gaps in the siding and the roof was sagging with a sad look. The door fit was, how can I put this nicely, liberal with adequate room for a better seal. Once inside there were two benches, a Coleman stove that had seen better days, an ice auger that reeked of gasoline, Two electric lights strung from the ceiling joist, and a cooler (why would you need a cooler in this cold?) with a lid that lacked one of two hinges. But there was enthusiasm, at least from Bud and his pals.

  

“Whatda’ think, Tom?”, Bud said with his usual enthusiasm. “Pretty good for being made out of salvaged wooden shipping pallets from my company, huh?”

  

The song that Johnny Cash did about building a Cadillac out of parts he had gotten from the auto plant he worked at immediately came to mind. “Not bad, not bad at all”, I said with as much enthusiasm I could muster given what stood in front of me.

 

Soon one of the guys had drilled a couple of holes in the thick ice and we rigged up for some action. I glanced at the wall clock sized thermometer on one wall and the dial was buried to one side. Can that be correct? Is it THAT cold? Must be broken.

 

“I don’t think your thermometer is working”, I said to Bud nonchalantly.

 

“Oh it’s fine”, Bud reassured. “Just goes down to zero. After that she just pegs and stays there.”

  

“Musta’ come from Florida”, I thought to myself. “I think zero is the daily low up here almost 6 months out of the year.”

 

My feet began to cringe. Even though I had dressed for cold weather, any temperature below zero was just beyond what I expected. At least when I’m sitting in a shack on a frozen lake in January. Call me a wuss, call me soft, call me a city boy, but I could feel my feet beginning to freeze up. As the day progressed I just got colder and colder, my hands barely able to move and my enthusiasm for ice fishing quickly retreating to “things I’ll never ever do again” status minute by minute.

 

Bud was all smiles and constantly reassured me that the “house will warm up” from our body heat. Body heat? What body heat I thought as I began to shiver. The wind was whistling through the sides of the ice house instantly removing any “body heat” from each of us, never mind any surplus that might in some small way contribute to our group’s comfort. And the fish, who I determined were far smarted than us, obviously had retreated to warmer depths of the lake. Boy, was this fun!

 

I won’t lie to you. I was miserable. I looked at my fellow “house inhabitants” and they were all smiles. I figured this was due to one of two things: Those smiles were either frozen on their faces or, God forbid, they were certifiably crazy.  

 

By 3 PM the sun’s descent was just about touching the tops of the trees on the shoreline. I wondered to myself if Bud and the guys were staying on the ice just for my benefit. Now I think of myself as a courteous person, but I also felt an obligation to speak up so me and my fellow fisherman would not be found later in the week frozen in place (with smiles on heir faces) because they were so determined to make sure a visitor from “the south” had a good time. “Guys, I’m ready to hang it up whenever you are”, I said with feigned remorse.

  

It was already noon now and it was clear the fishing action was consistent. There was none. No fish. No bites. And no warmth. Body heat was quickly becoming a distant memory and I imagined my feet, hands, face, and ears at severe risk of frostbite or worse.

 

“OK, if you’re ready I guess we can go”, Bud said regretfully. “We usually give the sun a chance to go down a bit more. Sometimes the fish come on the bite right before sunset.”

 

“Great”, I thought. “OK by me. I just didn’t want you staying out here for my benefit. I’m fine calling it a day whenever you guys want to.”

 

I suspect it was the shivering and the unsteadiness of my voice that ended the trip shortly after I had volunteered I was OK calling it a day. About 30 minutes later the smiles I thought were frozen on my companions faces disappeared and we packed up and headed across the frozen lake toward Rhinelander and then on to Wausau.

 

By the time we reached town I was actually feeling almost human again and suggested supper was on me if I had any takers. Bud accepted, but his three buddies declined citing family obligations. I think it may have had something to do with my “wussiness”, but we shall never know. Our supper was quick and by the time I hit the bed I was almost warm again. The next day I headed home early, leaving the vast, frozen northlands of Wisconsin in my rearview mirror.

 

Bud and I continued to do lots of business together over the years. He never again mentioned ice fishing nor suggested I give it another try at some future date. Obviously he knew that was not my cup of tea. 

 

I know ice fishing is a great sport and admire those who participate. But for me, a Southern Indiana boy who likes his warm bed and fishing without two or three sets of gloves and layers upon layers of clothing I think I’ll pass. At least for now and for the next 50 or so years!

EngelDeepBlue

 

Engel DEEP BLUE Coolers are IN STOCK with FREE SHIPPING to any USA Address……..

  

 

OK, we know this is the middle of winter, but we just received a huge order of Engel Super Coolers(which have been almost impossible to get) and we figured what better time to give you a “heads up” on these 10 Day Coolers. These super coolers and will hold ice (or heat) for as long as 10 days. We actually tested these in Florida last year, leaving an 80 quart cooler filled with ice, beer, bait, etc. out at the end of a dock in the sun on 90 degree days for 8 days. At the end of the 8th day everything was ice cold and we still had lots of ice in the cooler!

 

These are NOT your run-of-the-mill Igloo or Coleman coolers. They have 2″ to 3″ insulated sidewalls and tops, full length self stopping hinges, air tight refrigerator seals, flush mount (no catching your fishing line) marine grade latches, a non-skid lid you can stand on, non skid feet, one turn drain plugs, and lots more. Field and Stream Magazine said of Engel Coolers, “The Mother of All Coolers” and we completely concur! Practical Sailor did a comparison between Engel, Yeti, and the Coleman Xtreme and had this to say: “The Coleman and the Yeti were fairly evenly matched, while the Engel was Clearly the best.” And this was before Engel made even more improvements on their already world class cooler! And yes, Engel Coolers are certified “Bear Proof” by the IGBC (grizzly bear) Committee.

 

Engel Super Coolers are IN STOCK in 35, 65, 80, and 123 quart sizes and we can ship one (or more) of these bad boys immediately. That’s saying a lot as we usually run out of these by Spring and then struggle to get inventory for the next 6 months. We won’t say that will not happen again, so we’re offering you this wonderful product now while we have a great inventory. We’ll ship any of these Deep Blue Engel coolers FREE to ANY USA address, Alaska and Hawaii included.

 

We know these coolers aren’t cheap – the 65 quart, for example, is $339.99, but just ask yourself how many coolers you’ve thrown away over the years. If you’re like us it’s a bunch. All at about $50 – $70 a pop. Add in the expense of all the extra ice you had to buy after a day or so to keep your stuff cold or had food and drinks spoil because your cooler just didn’t hold the cold and these Engel’s are a bargain. Best of all, this will be the LAST Cooler you’ll ever buy!

 

Like we said, we have them in stock and can ship now. No shipping fees, no packaging fees, just the price of the cooler. What a deal!

   

 

WaxwingFresh 

New Shimano FRESHWATER and Expanded Saltwater Waxwing’s Have Arrived and They’re HOT!…………………

 

Ever since Shimano Introduced the Waxwing Jigs we’re been telling you just what a fantastic lure this is, not just for saltwater fish, but for freshwater species such as largemouth, smallmouth, pike, musky, etc. as well. The only problem, if you could call it that, was that these wonderful jigs came with a single double barb super sharp hook. And we have to admit that when the bite is soft you do stand the chance of missing given that single hook on the tail of the jig.

 

Well miss no more! Shimano just introduced the brand new Freshwater Waxwing Jigs with (are you ready?) TWO Owner Stinger treble hooks! One treble is mid body, one is on the tail. These new Freshwater Waxwing Jigs have a lighter weight body but the same hypnotic action that really catches some big fish. There are two sizes – the 1.7 oz (50g), 5 1/2″ (138 mm) “Senior” and the 3.6 oz (104g), 6 3/4″ (168 mm) Daddy. Each size comes in 8 colors: Fire Tiger, Walleye, Cisco, Perch, Peacock, Pearl Chartreuse, Blue Back, and Pearl Pink. If you are fishing for bigger largemouth bass, peacock bass, musky, pike, or any other reaction bite freshwater species you need these. Any fisherman who is serious about catching fish should have these in their tackle bag. Period. They produce. The Seniors are $19.99 each, the Daddy’s $25.99 each. 

 

On the SALTWATER side Shimano has also introduced another size to the Waxwing Jigs. Think B-I-G. The new “Daddy” Waxwings are 4.4 oz (126g) and 6 3/4″ (168 mm) long with a single super sharp hook on the tail. These are heavier than the Daddy Freshwater jigs and designed for bigger fish in saltwater. There are 8 colors; Sardine, Mackerel, Live Squid, Bunker, Bone, Sandeel, Golden Yellow, and Purple Black. If you’ve tried Waxwing jigs and wished they came in a bigger size consider your wish granted. Whether casting or trolling or vertical dropping these jigs will put meat on the table. And at $22.99 each they’re really a no brainer! 

 

 

   

Custom STEALTH Made-In-The-USA Baits are Now In Stock and W-A-Y Underpriced…………………..

 

Let me make this perfectly clear from the get-go. These baits are priced Way Too Low. The Crankbaits are only $15.99 each and the Spinnerbaits are $8.99 each. Hey, these are handmade here in the USA custom baits. Hand assembled with premium TroKar and Mustad hooks, hand painted, and assembled. Like we said, Way to Cheap for the quality and performance!

 

Everyone is looking for an extra edge out on the water. The fact is fish have seen the same factory baits over and over. It is time to show them something a little different…..something custom. The new Stealth Custom Spinnerbaits and Crankbaits are some of the finest lures on the market.The custom hand-tied spinnerbait skirts and ultra-realistic custom painted crankbaits give you the edge you’ve been looking for.

 

The Stealth Custom Shop spinnerbaits are currently available in 3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz. Double Willow Leaf models. There are seven proven and tested fish catching colors that are sure to make even the pickiest bass commit. The spinnerbaits utilize an ultra-thin wire that throws off a ton of underwater vibration. Stealth’s hand-tied skirts pulse and undulate in the water like nothing the fish have ever seen.

 

If the spinnerbait bite isn’t happening, tie on one of the SCS1.5 or SCS1.5 DD crankbaits. These baits were designed to be some of the best shallow cranking baits in your tackle box. Currently available in six handpicked custom colors, there is an option for every water color you encounter. These baits run true out of the package, no tuning needed.The SCS1.5 square bill will run 2 – 5 ft. and the SCS1.5 DD will run 6 – 9 ft.These are high performance crankbaits that will deflect through wood and rock without getting hung up.

 

Say again: these baits should probably sell for between $25 – $30 at the least. And we’re pretty sure that sooner or later the manufacturer (one guy) will up and realize what he’s created and the price will zoom. Until then we’re pricing them at his suggested retail and no more at his request. Get them while you can at this incredible price. They won’t last long. We just hope the manufacturer will!

CORE100MG7 

Shimano CORE 100Mg7′s are HERE!…………………….

 

Fishing Frogs, Alabama Rigs, Ripping, Flipping or Big Swimbaits? Looking for a reel that will last and preform without the typical problems you’ve had when using these baits or techniques? Think we might have a suggestion? You bettcha’! The NEW CORE100Mg7. These bad boys just showed up this week and they are B-A-D. In a G-O-O-D way, of course. Many of you have asked for a 7.0:1 retrieve ratio in this “oh so light” premium low profile made-in-Japan reel. Well, Shimano listened and actually made some improvements in this model over the “standard” CORE 50′s and 100′s to accommodate the toughest fishing techniques and baits.

 

First improvement is a larger HEG forged brass drive gear. This is more durable gearing and necessary when moving from a 6.3:1 to the 7.0:1 retrieve using the above techniques. More “guts” for those tough applications. Add to this the new, lighter Magnumlite (who thinks up these names?) spool, superfree bearings, and longer handle/power grip and you have a reel that will handle even the heaviest, toughest applications.

 

Specs are: 30 in. line retrieve per revolution, 10/110, 12/90 line capacity, 11 lb drag (max), 5 bearings, 6.7 oz weight. Only 100 of these New CORE100Mg7 reels were available from Shimano and we took a bunch of those, so for now supplies are limited. Price is $399.99 and the reel is only available in right hand retrieve. Like we said, if you fish flipping, ripping, swimbait, Alabama (umbrella) rigs, or Frogs this reel is for you. It doesn’t get any better than this!

 

SUNLINE REACTION FC  

Introducing Sunline Reaction FC Fluorocarbon Line that STRETCHES!……………

 

We have been trying to get our hands on this stuff for OVER 6 MONTHS! It’s so hot in Japan that it has been backordered to us USA folks forever. Well, we pulled some strings, did some intense begging, and cajouled our way into a small supply of Fishing’s HOTTEST Line.

 

We are absolutely convinced this Line will revolutionize fishing. It’s truly a product where we said, “What took them so long?” The big problem with fluoro lines, in our mind , has always been that you trade line durability for no stretch. And stretch is actually GOOD. Especially when fishing reaction baits such as cranks, spinners, buzzers, etc. Without stretch you have a much greater risk of the fish coming off either at hook-set or when fighting. With some stretch the line actually compensates for some of these risks. Why do you think mono is still so popular?

 

This new Sunline Reaction FC line has the same softness, durability, and abrasion resistance as regular FC Sniper fluorocarbon line, but with 10% more stretch. Invisibility is increased with Sunline Reaction FC’s grey/blue tint and it’s high specific gravity (1.78 vs. water’s 1.00) allows your bait to reach maximum depth sooner and deeper. Overall this is a product we have all be waiting for. Like we said, “What took them so long?”

 

Sunline Reaction FC Fluorocarbon line is available in 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20 lb test in spools of 200 years each. Price is $22.99 We have every size IN STOCK and suggest you consider this remarkable line now while preparing your tackle for the spring fishing season. We can assure you this line will rock. Just be sure to troll it out (nothing on the end) after you put it on your reel for maximum performance! (Do this with ALL lines)

 

Please don’t delay. When this shipment is done we have no idea when we will see another shipment from Japan.

 

LIVE TARGET FROG 

Live Target “Baby Frogs” FINALLY In Stock……………..

 

Does that headline sound a bit desperate? Well, it is with good reason. We’ve been trying to get these fantastic hollow frog “babies” from Live Target since they were introduced at ICAST Last July(!) and they have just now come in. And let me tell you, they are absolutely FANTASTIC!

 

Simply put, there is no better hollow frog lure on the market. They look real. Really real! At 1 3/4 inch long and weighing 1/4 oz. these little guys catch fish. If you’re like some of us who believe small lures = big fish then these new smaller Live Target Frogs deserve a prominent place in your tackle box. There are 8 color choices and at $9.49 each we can guarantee you this will be one of the best investments you’ll make this year in lures.

 

There’s a reason why these won Best New Soft Bait at ICAST. Daiichi super sharp hooks, a super durable body, and perfect balance along with color so real you could scare little Sally all make this lure a “No Brainer” for any top water fisherman. Get em’ while they’re hot and we still have them in stock!

 

TRANX 

Pre-Order The Shimano TranX EXTREME BAD ASS Low Profile Reel NOW to Avoid Disappointment Later………

 

You can’t hardly go to any credible fishing blog or tackle test web site that isn’t all abuzz about this truly “Bad Ass” Low Profile “Big Fish” Reel called the Shimano TranX. If you’re a musky fisherman or fish for other big, bad fish such as stripers, wahoo, steelhead, salmon, or any variety of other bad fish and have always wished you could find a more comfortable low profile casting reel then this, my friends, is your reel!

 

These reels are made tough as nails and will out perform many of the “round reels” so common (and at times cumbersome and uncomfortable) today. They are available in 6.6:1 and a 4.6:1 retrieve ratio and weigh in at about 20 oz., so don’t think of them as dainty or something you’ll use in Uncle Norm’s farm pond. These guys are for fish with attitudes. Big fish that don’t want to be caught!

 

Shimano TranX reels have a revolutionary design and shape that provides the comfort of low profile with the capacity of a conventional reel. Shimano TranX is offered in high gear (HG) and power gear (PG) models to cover a wide range of applications. Here are the details per Shimano:

 

X-Ship provides an extra smooth retrieve with superior durability; HEG – a larger drive gear and pinion gear increase cranking efficiency; SF – Superfree Bearing supported Pinion Gear eliminates friction with spool shaft for better freespool; E.I. Surface treatment on the spool protects against corrosion from saltwater soaked braided line; S A-RB coating protects bearings from rust in saltwater use; Super Stopper eliminates handle back play; VBS Brake System effectively reacts to spool rotation speed to provide ideal brake force at all times during cast; Dartainium II Drag Washer provides incredibly smooth drag performance with durability; and an Ergonomic Power Handle for better leverage.

 

There are two models:

 

TRX500HG has a 6.6:1 retrieve ratio, 43 in. line retrieve per crank, 25 lb Max Drag, 7 S-ARB Bearings and 1 Roller Bearing, 30/160 – 40/120 – 50/100 mono line capacity, 50/420 – 65/270 – 80/210 Power Pro braid line capacity. Price is $499.99

 

TRX500PG has a 4.6:1 retrieve ratio, 30 in. line retrieve per crank, 25 lb Max Drag, 7 S-ARB Bearings and 1 Roller Bearing, 30/160 – 40/120 – 50/100 mono line capacity, 50/420 – 65/270 – 80/210 Power Pro braid line capacity. We’re guessing you could probably winch you car out of a ditch with this baby! Price is $499.99

 

Now we do not have these new reels in stock yet, but we have them listed on our web site where you can order them to make sure you get some of the very first reels that arrive which should be early March 2012. Pre-release buzz is that the Shimano TranX will be THE HOT REEL for 2012, so if you really want one of these bad boys order now to make sure you don’t have to wait until Fall to get one. Do-It-Now…..please!

 

NRX GREEN 

Just Introduced G. Loomis GREEN NRX Rods Rock and We Have Them All IN STOCK…………..

 

We got a call the end of November from G. Loomis letting us know there is a NEW G. Loomis NRX rod. No, no new models, but a New Color. We would describe it as a deep Forest Green. Frankly, this is one good lookin’ rod with matching green wraps and all of the same components as the Blue NRX rods. Now we really like the Blue NRX rods, but we have to tell you that these green NRX rods are just beautiful. Never thought we would say that, but simply put, they are.

 

Why a different color NRX? Hmmmm, good question. Rumor has it that the European market wasn’t that receptive to the blue NRX’s. Not sure why. Frankly, we thought the blue rods were distinctive and quite honestly, made them stand out and precipitated some serious “rod envy” from other fishermen. But, having said that these new Green NRX rods are damn good looking and sexy.

 

If you couple the new G. Loomis NRX Green Rods up with a 2011 or 2012 Shimano Curado they look like they were made for each other. Or, throw a Shimano Core (like a CORE100mg7) or Chronarch on one and you really have one awesome outfit. Now you have a choice when it comes to the World’s Best Fishing Rod. Whatever color you decide on you can be sure that by choosing a G. Loomis NRX rod you are fishing with the very best. Lake blue or Sea Green it’s your choice. Both colors are in stock and can ship the same day your order is received.

Posted in Newsletter Archives by admin on the February 6th, 2012
PLEASE Send us some recent pictures!  Kids, Wives, Girlfriends, Mom, or Dad, we love them all! Just attach them to an e-mail with a short explanation to tashby@americanlegacyfishing.com and we’ll make sure they are posted on the “Braggin’ Board”. We will also try to get them in our newsletter.

 

Beautiful Dolphin fish

Dan Ross sends us this picture of a dolphin fish (mahi mahi) caught in Costa Rica recently. Be sure to take a look at Dan’s web site at www.drsportfishingcostarica.com/drsport for many more pictures and information on some of his marvelous fishing packages.  

    

Alabama Rig in action

Here’s more proof that winter fishing can produce some nice fish. Seth Brown shows off just one of over 20 bass caught the middle of this month using an Alabama rig on Kentucky Lake. Looks like fun, but very cold! 

 

Great Sturgeon caught on the Columbia River

Our good friend and Airflo Fly Line “girl Friday, Anna Kittoe, shows all of us how it’s done. This 40″ keeper sturgeon was caught on the  COLD Columbia River using a Shimano Clarus rod with a Shimano Calcutta TE reel. Way to go, Anna!   

 

Nice Lake of Egypt bass

Our very own Jake Wininger shows off a really nice Lake of Egypt, Illinois bass caught the first week of January. Who says winter fishing is slow? Good job, Jake!   

 

Awesome 19lb Snook

Roberto Cabral caught this wonderful 19 lb snook in Ceará state, Brazil last month. A snook this size had to have been a blast to catch and Roberto says there are many at this lodge: www.mirantedasgamboas.com  

 

Look at all the fish!

Here’s a picture for all you guys who use color fish finders. What we have here is largemouth bass stacked up like cord wood at about 36 feet in 46 degree water on Kentucky Lake. This may explain why Seth Brown and Jake Wininger were so successful in mid January!  

 

Awesome Zander

Whatever they do in Belgium to produce giant zander (walleye) we need to find out about. Now! Gunther Van Ginneken shows off another monster zander he seems so adept at catching with uncanny frequency. Well done, G-man!   

 

Awesome Sailfish

Dan Ross says fishing in Costa Rica is great. We couldn’t argue with that once we saw this picture of this beautiful sailfish caught by “ms” Sorenson, on a fly rod much less!  

Sunshine and Sea, ahhh

Ah, life in Western Australia in December! The only thing missing is a couple of fishermen!  

 

Please, folks, send us some of your pictures. We’re not after trophies, just pictures of fish you’re proud of. It’s easy. Just attached them to an email and send them to us at tashby@americanlegacyfishing.com and we’ll do our best to get them in the newsletter. Send them in to us!

Merry Christmas

Yea, we know Christmas is over, but we just couldn’t resist this picture of our manager Adam Daywalt’s chocolate Lab “Fancy” shortly after opening all of her Christmas Day presents. Remind you of someone?

 

 

 

Hi Folks,

 

Well, here we are beginning another New Year. Considering the alternative this is good. Really good.

 

You know, there’s something about starting a new year that drives us to try harder to accomplish what we may have given up on the year before. Call it a fresh beginning or just a simple reset for the best intentions of 2011 that didn’t quite get done.

 

I’m not going to bore you with a list of what I need to work on in 2012. I do have my list. I’ll bet you have one as well. My problem is I’m not sure this is such a great idea, for you or for me. Seems that a “to do” list for 2012 sort of dampens all the good stuff that we should be celebrating that happened in 2011. Rather than kick back and smugly acknowledge the things that went well this last year, we, as typical human beings, feel the need to resolve those disappointments of 2011 during the year ahead. And we simply cast aside and forget about all the good stuff from the year before.

 

All this last week every newspaper, TV show, and many web sites made an effort to summarize 2011 and the events that were noteworthy over the last 12 months. Most were bad things that happened. I guess we learn a lot through experience, perhaps more bad than good. The end of the year is a great time to take stock of just what we learned over the last 12 months and perhaps make adjustments when necessary. But in doing this don’t we risk casting aside all the good stuff from 2011?

 

How many of us made it through 2011 with good health and the love of our family and friends? How many still have an interesting and challenging job? How many of us are proud parents of wonderful children (or grandchildren)? How many had one or more “special moments” in 2011? As much as the beginning of the new year is a logical time for recommitting to some goals or improvements, don’t let this keep you from appreciating all the good stuff that happened in 2011.

 

Now I know there are some of you who have had a rough or even terrible 2011. But I also suspect that most of you had a wonderful year. I know Dixie and I did. We spent time with our 7 grandkids and our 3 daughters and son-in-laws over the recent holidays, we went to the Cayman Islands for our youngest daughter and her husband’s 5th anniversary along with our entire family and grandkids last May. We had a fairly mild summer in a part of the country known for oppressive, sweltering summers, and we both lost some weight (amazingly). We also enjoyed some wonderful times with many of our friends and were able to see a lot of good things happen to many friends and customers. And American Legacy Fishing’s touring pro, Jacob Wheeler, won the FLW American Classic Tournament (and $100,000) in 2011. Yep, it was a great year!

 

But one of the best things to happen to us in 2011 was we were able to add many, many new fellow anglers to our list of friends met through American Legacy Fishing. Whether meeting new friends while traveling, testing the latest tackle, or simply trying to assist someone in our store, 2011 was a spectacular year. Many, many more fellow fishing enthusiasts became friends in 2011 than in any previous year. That alone would make 2011 a simply wonderful year for both of us.

 

So, what does this have to do with fishing? Well, fishing makes both Dixie and I happy. We enjoy getting outside and being on the water and experiencing nature. We enjoy the challenge of trying to outsmart various species of fish. We like using different gear and techniques in different locations. Fishing supplies us with an abundance of good memories we can carry with us well into 2012 and beyond. There are always new (or renewed) goals as well as very fond memories. Best of all, we can pass on our experiences (and hopefully some degree of expertise) to our grandkids as well as other youngsters who we support through our ALFC outreach locally. As I have said many times, fishing is a great character builder and something every kid should be exposed to. We take this mission very seriously and expect 2012 to see even more effort on our part in making sure this happens for many local kids.

 

Do we have any “New Year Resolutions? Yes we do. We want to be better Christians and find time to help others more. We want to meet more of you personally and hopefully even spend some time on the water with some of you. We want to try and make our community, our state, and our country a better place. Fishing-wise we’re still after our “trophy” fish: A 10 lb largemouth bass. A 20 lb northern pike. A 6 lb smallmouth. A 20 lb lake trout. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) these are the same goals we had for 2011! But even if we didn’t achieve any of these goals (or “thresholds” as Dixie likes to say) we sure had a great time trying! Maybe 2012 will see some of these goals come to fruition!

 

You know, it’s as much the journey as the destination. It’s enjoying the ride as much as it is getting from point “A” to point “B”. And that’s our most important resolution for 2012. We resolve to stop and smell the roses more. To tell more people we love them. To not just be sympathetic to other’s adversity, but to try and help in some small way.

 

So when you’re thinking about those New Year resolutions don’t forget the best of 2011 along with the optimism of 2012. The beginning of the New Year is naturally a way to start with a clean slate. We have an entire year in front of us and so much potential. Who doesn’t get excited at such a fantastic prospect?

 

This is our first newsletter of 2012, so we figured we would start the year off with a Great Deal Saving YOU some money as well as some great new products that are just now showing up. Plus, we have a super duper fishing line we’re introducing and lots more “good stuff” in this first newsletter of 2012. Be sure to take a look below at all the “good stuff”.

 

We hope everyone had a great holiday season. We know we did and really appreciate your friendship and patronage throughout 2011. We promise that 2012 will be the best year ever for all of our friends and customers. We have a lot of new products coming on line and are sure you’ll be as excited about these as we are. Stay tuned for information in upcoming newsletters.

 

We wish all of you a most prosperous and healthy 2012!

 

Tight lines,

CORE100MG7

Shimano CORE 100Mg7′s are HERE!…………………….

 

Fishing Frogs, Alabama Rigs, Ripping, Flipping or Big Swimbaits? Looking for a reel that will last and preform without the typical problems you’ve had when using these baits or techniques? Think we might have a suggestion? You bettcha’! The NEW CORE100Mg7. These bad boys just showed up this week and they are B-A-D. In a G-O-O-D way, of course. Many of you have asked for a 7.0:1 retrieve ratio in this “oh so light” premium low profile made-in-Japan reel. Well, Shimano listened and actually made some improvements in this model over the “standard” CORE 50′s and 100′s to accommodate the toughest fishing techniques and baits.

 

First improvement is a larger HEG forged brass drive gear. This is more durable gearing and necessary when moving from a 6.3:1 to the 7.0:1 retrieve using the above techniques. More “guts” for those tough applications. Add to this the new, lighter Magnumlite (who thinks up these names?) spool, superfree bearings, and longer handle/power grip and you have a reel that will handle even the heaviest, toughest applications.

 

Specs are: 30 in. line retrieve per revolution, 10/110, 12/90 line capacity, 11 lb drag (max), 5 bearings, 6.7 oz weight. Only 100 of these New CORE100Mg7 reels were available from Shimano and we took a bunch of those, so for now supplies are limited. Price is $399.99 and the reel is only available in right hand retrieve. Like we said, if you fish flipping, ripping, swimbait, Alabama (umbrella) rigs, or Frogs this reel is for you. It doesn’t get any better than this!

 

SUNLINE REACTION FC

Introducing Sunline Reaction FC Fluorocarbon Line that STRETCHES!……………

 

We have been trying to get our hands on this stuff for OVER 6 MONTHS! It’s so hot in Japan that it has been backordered to us USA folks forever. Well, we pulled some strings, did some intense begging, and cajouled our way into a small supply of Fishing’s HOTTEST Line.

 

We are absolutely convinced this Line will revolutionize fishing. It’s truly a product where we said, “What took them so long?” The big problem with fluoro lines, in our mind , has always been that you trade line durability for no stretch. And stretch is actually GOOD. Especially when fishing reaction baits such as cranks, spinners, buzzers, etc. Without stretch you have a much greater risk of the fish coming off either at hook-set or when fighting. With some stretch the line actually compensates for some of these risks. Why do you think mono is still so popular?

 

This new Sunline Reaction FC line has the same softness, durability, and abrasion resistance as regular FC Sniper fluorocarbon line, but with 10% more stretch. Invisibility is increased with Sunline Reaction FC’s grey/blue tint and it’s high specific gravity (1.78 vs. water’s 1.00) allows your bait to reach maximum depth sooner and deeper. Overall this is a product we have all be waiting for. Like we said, “What took them so long?”

 

Sunline Reaction FC Fluorocarbon line is available in 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20 lb test in spools of 200 years each. Price is $22.99 We have every size IN STOCK and suggest you consider this remarkable line now while preparing your tackle for the spring fishing season. We can assure you this line will rock. Just be sure to troll it out (nothing on the end) after you put it on your reel for maximum performance! (Do this with ALL lines)

 

Please don’t delay. When this shipment is done we have no idea when we will see another shipment from Japan.

LIVE TARGET FROG

Live Target “Baby Frogs” FINALLY In Stock……………..

Does that headline sound a bit desperate? Well, it is with good reason. We’ve been trying to get these fantastic hollow frog “babies” from Live Target since they were introduced at ICAST Last July(!) and they have just now come in. And let me tell you, they are absolutely FANTASTIC!

Simply put, there is no better hollow frog lure on the market. They look real. Really real! At 1 3/4 inch long and weighing 1/4 oz. these little guys catch fish. If you’re like some of us who believe small lures = big fish then these new smaller Live Target Frogs deserve a prominent place in your tackle box. There are 8 color choices and at $9.49 each we can guarantee you this will be one of the best investments you’ll make this year in lures.

There’s a reason why these won Best New Soft Bait at ICAST. Daiichi super sharp hooks, a super durable body, and perfect balance along with color so real you could scare little Sally all make this lure a “No Brainer” for any top water fisherman. Get em’ while they’re hot and we still have them in stock!

 

TRANX

Now Taking Orders On The Shimano TranX EXTREME BAD ASS Low Profile Reel………

 

You can’t hardly go to any credible fishing blog or tackle test web site that isn’t all abuzz about this truly “Bad Ass” Low Profile “Big Fish” Reel called the Shimano TranX. If you’re a musky fisherman or fish for other big, bad fish such as stripers, wahoo, steelhead, salmon, or any variety of other bad fish and have always wished you could find a more comfortable low profile casting reel then this, my friends, is your reel!

 

These reels are made tough as nails and will out perform many of the “round reels” so common (and at times cumbersome and uncomfortable) today. They are available in 6.6:1 and a 4.6:1 retrieve ratio and weigh in at about 20 oz., so don’t think of them as dainty or something you’ll use in Uncle Norm’s farm pond. These guys are for fish with attitudes. Big fish that don’t want to be caught!

 

Shimano TranX reels have a revolutionary design and shape that provides the comfort of low profile with the capacity of a conventional reel. Shimano TranX is offered in high gear (HG) and power gear (PG) models to cover a wide range of applications. Here are the details per Shimano:

 

X-Ship provides an extra smooth retrieve with superior durability; HEG – a larger drive gear and pinion gear increase cranking efficiency; SF – Superfree Bearing supported Pinion Gear eliminates friction with spool shaft for better freespool; E.I. Surface treatment on the spool protects against corrosion from saltwater soaked braided line; S A-RB coating protects bearings from rust in saltwater use; Super Stopper eliminates handle back play; VBS Brake System effectively reacts to spool rotation speed to provide ideal brake force at all times during cast; Dartainium II Drag Washer provides incredibly smooth drag performance with durability; and an Ergonomic Power Handle for better leverage.

 

There are two models:

 

TRX500HG has a 6.6:1 retrieve ratio, 43 in. line retrieve per crank, 25 lb Max Drag, 7 S-ARB Bearings and 1 Roller Bearing, 30/160 – 40/120 – 50/100 mono line capacity, 50/420 – 65/270 – 80/210 Power Pro braid line capacity. Price is $499.99

 

TRX500PG has a 4.6:1 retrieve ratio, 30 in. line retrieve per crank, 25 lb Max Drag, 7 S-ARB Bearings and 1 Roller Bearing, 30/160 – 40/120 – 50/100 mono line capacity, 50/420 – 65/270 – 80/210 Power Pro braid line capacity. We’re guessing you could probably winch you car out of a ditch with this baby! Price is $499.99

 

Now we do not have these new reels in stock yet, but we have them listed on our web site where you can order them to make sure you get some of the very first reels that arrive which should be early March 2012. Pre-release buzz is that the Shimano TranX will be THE HOT REEL for 2012, so if you really want one of these bad boys order now to make sure you don’t have to wait until Fall to get one. Do-It-Now…..please!

 

NRX GREEN

Just Introduced G. Loomis GREEN NRX Rods Rock and We Have Them All IN STOCK…………..

 

We got a call the end of November from G. Loomis letting us know there is a NEW G. Loomis NRX rod. No, no new models, but a New Color. We would describe it as a deep Forest Green. Frankly, this is one good lookin’ rod with matching green wraps and all of the same components as the Blue NRX rods. Now we really like the Blue NRX rods, but we have to tell you that these green NRX rods are just beautiful. Never thought we would say that, but simply put, they are.

 

Why a different color NRX? Hmmmm, good question. Rumor has it that the European market wasn’t that receptive to the blue NRX’s. Not sure why. Frankly, we thought the blue rods were distinctive and quite honestly, made them stand out and precipitated some serious “rod envy” from other fishermen. But, having said that these new Green NRX rods are damn good looking and sexy.

 

If you couple the new G. Loomis NRX Green Rods up with a 2011 or 2012 Shimano Curado they look like they were made for each other. Or, throw a Shimano Core (like a CORE100mg7) or Chronarch on one and you really have one awesome outfit. Now you have a choice when it comes to the World’s Best Fishing Rod. Whatever color you decide on you can be sure that by choosing a G. Loomis NRX rod you are fishing with the very best. Lake blue or Sea Green it’s your choice. Both colors are in stock and can ship the same day your order is received.

Just a reminder than any used rod we sell is thoroughly inspected, cleaned, tested, and carries a 30 Day “No Questions Asked” return privilege.

Our used reels are cleaned, inspected, and tested as well and also come with a 30 Day “No Questions Asked” return privilege. Many of the reels we get in are almost new and we have a tough time figuring out if they were ever on the water. They’re in that good of shape.
