Seaguar Flouro Giveaway

Posted on by — 229 comments
Hope you guys are having a good Holiday Season.
Saturday morning I went to Costco to get some giant scallops for dinner on Sunday when sister-in-law comes over with her clan  and these two red snappers from Nicaragua were just staring at me through the glass, begging me…”take me home”
darn, i could not resist
never go shopping hungry 🙂
 
For some reason , I must have thought yesterday was Christmas eve. Instead of planed lamb leg I ended up buying some tuna steaks and throwing them on the grill to go along with fried shrimp and stuffed whole calamari. But that wasn’t the main attraction…that was a giant bowl of penne past wossed with  scallop and shrimps swimming in a wine cream sauce
 
Somebody please tell me this insanity is almost over.
 
In other news, we have some announcements to make in next few days about some fine people joining SJ staff. We are pretty excited…stay tunned

We also have a very intresting giveaway coming up here in a day or two, just in time for Christmas 🙂

but first

Good folks from Seaguar (http://www.seaguar.com/index.htm)  have sent few spools of Seaguar Premium 50lb Flouro and you can win one today by saying “I am” in to this giveaway. Well pick a lucky winner in few days.

Its a leader material I been using this fall and i am very impressed

Best $19.95 you ever spent on fishing

Posted on by — 8 comments
From a brilliant mind of John Skinner, author of A Season on the Edge
 
a PC (or MAC) log software so easy even a caveman can do it, yet so powerful with analytics, its scary.
Kind of like John who speaks softly and carries a big stick
Its probably , imho, the best $20 you will ever spend on your “habit” and that is for a lifetime license. Not only that but you also get a 7 day free trial to see if you like it.
 
You owe yourself to check it out

Speaking of bags…

Posted on by — 13 comments
Sometimes you forget an item because its not in front of your face. Like an old plastic Atom 40, a great plug to just hold in your hand and admire.
Lets be honest, far from eyes is far from heart, at least that what the translation of old Croatian saying would sound like.
Many of you know that Commando Surfcasting and Ebb point Surf Fishing both make a hell of a surf bag…but many of you don’t know that there is another maker that is held in equaly high regard. Continue reading →

Issue # 5 of the Surfcaster's Journal awaits you

Posted on by — 13 comments
Soooooo, you guys are reading the Issue # 5 of the most awesome magazine in the universe? 🙂
 
 
Our Art Director, the guru of all creative things, Mr. Corrigan has done a stupendous job once again. By the way, for those who might not know, Tommy also designed the cover of Secrets of Surf Fishing at Night for which I will be eternally grateful (amongst other things).
 
So we got it all going at once, one year anniversary, incredible Commando bag giveaway and now issue #5……we are cranking on all cylinders.
Actually, I think all of us could use a break.
 
Some of you might cringe when you receive daily SJ blog emails but here is the thought that should ease your pain. Every time you guys make a post I get an email. Ten posts, ten emails. Fifty posts, fifty emails.
Well, since we announced the giveaway last night I received 266 emails saying “I am in” plus probably a hundred other emails regarding magazine and life and junk since last night! All in all about four hundred emails in  twenty or so hours….
Wanna trade? 🙂
 
 
I hope you guys are enjoying the read and make sure you take a look at some of the videos that accompany some stories. There is some very good writing in there. For your pleasure, you might enjoy Twain or  Hemingway but for my money, give me few pages with Rich Trox thoughts and a cold Sam Adams and I am in heaven
 
BTW
 
As you can see, we are doing a little winter cleaning to the blog with repositioning ads and adding new picture to the rotating headboard. I hope you guys like them.
 
Unfortunately in process I must have removed the “donate” button…thanks for those of you who emailed me today looking for it to drop some spare change I the SJ bucket…its back up on the right hand side

As many of you know we are celebrating the first Anniversary of the most awesome surf publication in the universe

Surfcaster’s Journal Magazine

www.surfcastersjournal.com

 

To help us celebrate in style, as usual, we got you, the readers of our blog, “hooked-up” with possibly the finest giveaway we ever had. We gave away in contests and giveaways some really nice stuff but this handmade, custom bag from Commando Surfcasting ( http://www.commandosurfcasting.com/) might be a cherry on the top of the cake.

It is our sincerest pleasure to introduce to you, one of the finest handmade surf bags we ever laid our grubby little fingers on…and now one of you will win it 🙂

  • Over sized top flap so there are no gaps on the sides
  • 4 – 3″ D x 8″ H heavy wall tubes

How do you become a Surfcaster’s Journal Blog Subscriber?

Easy, just enter your email address into the subscriber box, that it

We were so impressed by Tom’s from Commando work, we figured it deserves a corny video clip featuring yours truly. Hey , you don’t get to celebrate your FIRST Anniversary often? Kind of weird when you consider that Surfcaster’s Journal has more facebook fans than any other saltwater publication on USA including OTW, Noreast and yes, even Saltwater Sportsman.

The bag we are giving away is the one in the video, with four large tubes, two large side pockets, belt loops, D-rings, bucktail holder and inside pouch, flaps and front pouch.

Our thanks go to Tom from Commando Surfcasting for making this possible. Please stop by their website at http://www.commandosurfcasting.com and check out their whole line of bags and accessories. And no, we don’t mind if you drop Tom a line and thank him for his support of Surfcaster’s Journal and for making a dream come true for one very lucky surfcaster 🙂
Good Luck to all
