This attitude is the result of hours of homework being completed, studying the diets of the fish you are going after. Studying seasonal fish migration and movement patterns. Roland Martin is someone I always think of when I get to talking about fishing patterns. He is really the father of the Pattern. Pay close attention to nature, she will tell you tons, when things are getting green and
Ever since I was a small kid, dad was teaching me to have values in life and as well the sport of fishing. The words I will never forget "Fishing is bigger than you boy" I will never forget. Fisherman share a bond, like a big giant band of brothers and sisters. Of course we will not always agree on various different topics or techniques. But I can assure you if as a group we need to stick
Sixteen years complete and 20,462 target fish caught and released, Team Jackfish Lures is headed for year 17 with gusto. Yeah 17 seasons, I can't believe how fast time has gone. There have been some great times had by all who have been associated with this Field Team. Not just great because of the fishing accomplishments but some just down right inspiring, stuff that can lift up members
We are getting into the lures now as the BT-1 has now been profiled, and now it's time to get the system out. Now some folks like to get into a boat and drive out to the middle of the lake sit there and jig! Hey that is ok, I have a few friends who do just that. They will average between 0 to 5 fish on an average outing. Hey that,s great it's what they like to do and they have fun so all
Well in the last post I mentioned the lures I had to throw out because of the rust. Well it was the lack of quality in the stuff at the store and the lack of the size of lure I wanted also. Big Northern Pike like a big meal. However they will settle for a snack if it's present and easy to take. I was considering all sorts of variables and what if's, and thinking about what I wanted most in
I have been fishing since I was 4 years old, and was taught great values in the sport by my father Gary Love Sr. I have been driven to enjoy the sport for many years, designing my first lures when I was 8 years old. The lures we produce at Jackfish Lures are lead free and hand crafted one at a time in Canada. I am the owner and founder of Jackfish Lures Tackle Mfg Co, in Athabasca. In 1998 we entered our first of many Sportsman's shows, at the 1998 50th Anniversary Canadian National Sportsman's Show in Edmonton Alberta. We did the show up until we moved Jackfish Lures to Athabasca in 2005. With all of the other smaller shows we have done I have vast experience speaking and sharing with customers at Trade shows, and enjoy it. I also Teach Fly Casting, and Fly Tying, at discounted rates, and for free for the children, at functions like the Junior Forrest Warden of Canada National Campout at Gregg Lake in 2011. We have instructed kids for the Junior Forrest Warden in Alberta since 1999 as Guest speakers with our Jackfish Lures F.I.S.H education program. The program teaches Fun, Interesting, Simple and Honest fishing practices for the youth and adult participants,and we continue our great relationship with them in educating the kids in our awesome sport. The Jackfish Lures Field Team has been going strong since 1996, and without the great feedback we have received Jackfish Lures would not be what it is today. 30 qualified anglers competing across Canada for Jackfish Lures & Angler of the Year Titles, the season runs from Mid May to October 31st it's a long season and not easy to win. Our team is close and everyone helps each other improve in the sport. Our team has successfully caught and released over 20,462 tournament target fish to date since 1996 with our products. I have many years worth of fishing experience and my late Mother in law Eva thought I should write a book and share that experience with others. In 2008 my first of 3 books in the Fishing with the Jackfish Series was published and is now available for anglers all over the globe. The next book will be a Tactical and informative, on the water multi species, field manual an angler can have in his or her tackle box. We are going to go all out and try and help as many anglers as we can enjoy our sport and nature.
