Posted on by — 383 comments

I hope you enjoyed watching the video we featured yesterday on the blog. John truly is one of a kind when it comes to explaining how and why things work. Too bad his background as a Brookhaven National Lab scientists prevents me from putting a GPS under his truck and finding out where he fishes. The last thing I need is the boys from Homeland Security at my doors…lol

And no, I am not hiding that delicious looking Commando Cube Surf Bag…ok, I am . But I will give you a chance to win it in a day or two. What a way to get into a New Year Continue reading →

Special gift

Posted on by — 25 comments

Yes, the Christmas is over. But we keep delivering gifts in one form or another.

We announced the winners of our STRIPERTHON 2011 Catch and Release contest. We announced the winners of AOK, SS, Rod Vault and Commando Surfcasting giveaways…and we got more coming

But first, a special gift. A 20 minute interview that is worth its weight in gold, if there was such a thing. Some of you will learn more listening to John speaks then you ever did watching a fishing video. And if you haven’t bought John’s new book yet, Fishing the Bucktail, you will after you watch this.

But this is not about a book, or egos. Continue reading →

You asked for it…

Posted on by — 41 comments

I am sure many of you are just like us at SJ, running around like chickens without heads during the holiday season. And no end in sight… btw, thanks for the 450 emails I got yesterday when you entered in Commando giveaway…lol

We are working on issue # 11 so all other things are being put on the backburner, including one thing that you have asked us about repeatedly over the last few years. Yes, it seems strange that we don’t have Surfcaster’s Journal gear, shirts, sweatshirts and such in our online store. There are two reasons for that. First, we don’t have a budget for those things and we are paranoid of getting stuck with stuff. When you talk the talk, everyone says “I want one” but when you actually make it it’s a different story. Which is understandable, I do the same thing. The second thing, equally and probably more important is the art work. You guys know Tommy does not operate on premise “ let’s get it out there s quick as possible”.  Until he is happy with the design, nothing will get done. Which on the end of the day makes sense, after all, we want to have something we can be proud off. Continue reading →

Win a Commando Surfcasting Custom Surf Bag

Posted on by — 527 comments

This truly is a special giveaway, courtesy of Tom White from Commando Surfcasting. When Tom spoke to us last year and mentioned giving us two bags to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary I will admit that I was touched by his generosity.

These bags are made by hand, from the first stitch to the last one. Yes, machine is used to stitch but it’s not like you stick a piece of material into a machine and out comes finished bag on the other side. We watched Tom work on his bags recently and I have to tell you his skills and his attention to details are not something I could ever match. It reminded me of Tommy’s quest for perfect font when he is designing artwork.

So here it is, another giveaway you will only find at Surfcaster’s Journal Blog. But check out these features first ..plugs not included 🙂

This and that

Winner of Lemire’s Plugworks  metal lip lure is anglerace@hotmail.com

The winner of the 8 1/2inch, 3 ounce mammoth Wave Jammer who guessed Lou’s favorite picture is …well, no one. Not one of you guessed that Lou favorite picture is on page 75…looks like a fine picture to me 🙂

So the plug goes back into the rotation, to be given away at another time.

Wait, its holiday season…so why not just pick another guy randomly?….Ok ,the winner of Wave Jammer is ….Zeno Hro….wait, that would be a bit weird…and unethical.

Ok ,the real winner is Ryan Chenette, the guy who says “I never win anything”

Both of you must furnish your mailing address to info@surfcastersjournal.com within 5 days or you forfeit the prize. Remember that big loot of AOK Tackle tins? The winner never stepped forward so I will give you a chance to win it again soon.

We might be fishlanthropists but we got rules…capish ? 😉

 

Few thoughts on last minute gift ideas. What do I want? More St Croix Legends and CTS rods would be nice…not sure if can get that passed by Da Wife

 

From Camp Site Sports in Huntington NY, comes the news that they are now a GoPro dealer. Now you can check out these little gems in person  and see what the hype is all about

 

This is from email I received from them,

Everyone should have one of these little marvels in their tackle box, on their boat, their car, their skis, their fishing rod, wherever you want to put it. The list of potential mounting spots is endless. Capture true 1080p HD video and 11Mp stills in a pocket sized, waterproof, shock proof, virtually indestructible package. We have a host of GoPro accessories in stock including many mounting options, LCD backs and spare batteries. While stocks last we are offering a free 8Mp class 10 SDHC card with each Go Pro camera purchased.

In other news, Burford Books, publisher of many surf fishing titles  have a new redesigned website. Check it out at www.burfordbooks.com

Reel Women of Fishing is a calendar that some of you might like to find under the Christmas tree…you can check it out here http://www.amazon.com/REEL-Women-Fishing-Calendar-2012/dp/B0069OOLGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323984640&sr=8-1

 

Last and definitely not least, tune in this weekend for a Commando Surfcasting Custom Bag giveaway. As soon as I come up for air I will hook you guys up. And yes, that comment about Johnny Walker was a joke…I can’t hold liquor of any kind so I don’t bother. Hell, if I drink a dozen beers in  year that is a lot..although I must say, on a warm summer night, a big juicy steak on the grill…it calls for a nice, cold Sam Adams. Its funny thing, no one i fish with drinks. We all show up at the beach, each guy with a thermos of 7/11 coffee. Then we make another pot after we drain what we brought….old men 😉
