RIVERBUM - "...began with an eclectic group of fly fishing buddies who were each, in their own way, tired of their choice in flies: Either pay $2.00, spend hours of time at the vise, or buy something cheaper only to have it fall apart after a couple casts. The shop was born after carefully sampling over 50 of the world’s best tiers. From this world wide sampling we’ve selected the absolute best tying facilities. We have confidence in all our products because we fish them ourselves. We’ve found the flies and the fly fishing gear and put them out there at great prices. Now that you have found us we’re looking forward to building a lifelong relationship with you and other fly fishers from around the world. RiverBum will always be expanding to include even more fly patterns and fly fishing products. Please contact us if you have any questions, comments or if you just want to tell us about how great the fishing was. We’d love to hear from you!"

BigFish Tackle - 3 Tips to Help Anyone Catch More Fish
by: Trevor Kugler

"In this article I'm going to outline 3 tips to help anyone catch more fish. These tips come from more than 50 years of combined fishing experience and can be employed by any angler. No matter what type of fishing you prefer, these tips will help you enjoy more fishing success. None of us should ever forget what Steven Wright said about fishing, "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot." I'm not sure any truer words have ever been spoken and with any luck this article will help you avoid that latter part of that quote.
If you want to catch more fish there is nothing that helps like practice. There is simply no substitute for spending time on the water practicing your craft. The next closest thing to practice for becoming a better angler is to study your craft (which is what you're doing by reading this article). The more tips and techniques you can get the better. Some will work for you, some won't, but the point is that educating yourself is never a bad thing.

So, let's get down to business, shall we? Here are the 3 tips that will help you become a better angler, and thus catch more fish. 1. Pay Attention To Your Hands – Your hands are very important to fishing, or more specifically the scents that are on your hands. Any scents that are on your hands will transfer to whatever bait or lure you're using. If this scent is unnatural to the fish they will tend not to bite. This might not be true for smaller, more inexperienced fish, but for larger experienced fish this rule is most certainly true. We want to make be sure that our hands are free of any unnatural odors. The easiest way to accomplish this is by grabbing a handful of grass or dirt and rubbing it into your hands before handling your bait or lure.
2. Pay Attention To Mother Nature – Mother Nature has an amazing impact on the feeding behavior of fish. When I use the term 'Mother Nature', I'm referring specifically to the weather and moon. By knowing when the weather and moon, or one of the two is in your favor as an angler is of the utmost importance. If you've ever had one of those epic days fishing where it seemed like you could do no wrong, it was more than likely due to these two forces of Mother Nature, rather than your prowess as an angler. Learn about the weather & moon and the ways they affect fishing, and you'll start catching more fish.
3. Pay Attention To Your Eyes – Having a quality pair of polarized glasses is a tip that can help any angler catch more fish. In the flowing waters of a river or stream polarized glasses are a must, not only for seeing the fish, but also seeing your line. Any bass fisherman who has fished for spawning bass knows exactly what I'm referring to as well. Pay attention to your eyes by getting yourself a pair of quality polarized sun glasses. With polarized glasses, like most things remember: you get what you pay for.
These three simple tips will help anyone catch more fish, no matter what you fish for. How am I so sure of this? Simply because I've personally been using every one of these tips for a long time and know how effective they are."

FishHead Gear - "Like many great stories, FishHead Gears roots date back to the early days of working out of our garage. With a passion for fishing and a desire to work more closely with the fishing industry rather than merely participating as weekend warriors, we jumped into the fishing apparel business with both feet. Our concept was simple; create great fishing apparel that features original artwork, fun tag lines, and top notch screen printing on high quality garments. Match that with some first class headwear and see where it goes.

After a couple of years of selling at tournaments, outdoor shows and on the internet, we were ready to get FishHead Gear out into stores when Hurricane Katrina struck and wiped out our entire coastline. Needless to say, we were forced to spend a great deal of time in clean up and recovery mode, but the creative juices continued to flow during this period and we kept plugging away with the development of new designs to expand the line. FishHead Gear launched its new website and an expanded line of saltwater and freshwater designs in the Spring of 2007, and will be available in stores across the United States as well as internationally before the end of the year.

The FishHead Gear staff is committed to developing the best products on the market and providing you with a worthwhile shopping experience that will not only provide you with great gear, but will be informative and fun in the process. We invite you to subscribe to our newsletter to catch up on the latest fishing news, techniques, and product releases, browse our website for informative articles from our pro staff and other outdoor writers, send in your comments, pictures and stories, and share your passion for fishing with other FishHeads.

Welcome to FishHead Gear! We hope you enjoy our products!"

HURRICANE STORE - "The mission of HurricaneStore is to grow a successful business by providing quality products that will genuinely help people be prepared for emergencies, like hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, winter storms, tornados, and pandemic flu.

In 2004, one of the co-founders of HurricaneStore was driving on the highway when a terrible automobile accident occurred in front of him. As it turns out, he was trained as an Emergency Medical Technician so he jumped out of his car and began to administer aid to the accident victims. A doctor was in another car and joined in to help. Unfortunately, nobody had the emergency medical supplies with them that the victims needed. Most first aid kits simply don’t have the tools for medical emergencies.

Out of this tragic event came the desire to help everyone – not just emergency personnel – be prepared for a medical emergency. People needed to have an emergency medical kit, not just a first aid kit."

Bart's Water Sports
"It was 1972. I had just graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Biology and a love for competition water skiing. I rented an old farm house for $85 a month, borrowed $2000 and began selling Maherajah and Cypress Garden skis. I enjoyed every day I went to work.

In 1976 we moved into a new facility and hired our first full-time employee. We were determined to keep our promise of shipping within 24 hours, a novel idea at the time.

In 1994 we were fortunate to have a state-of-the-art distribution facility and 45 of the best water sports professionals prepared to answer all your questions.

After 35 years some things haven't changed. We are still in North Webster, Indiana (population 885). We still ship within 24 hours. And I still enjoy every day I go to work."

WEST MARINE - "Boats have always had the power to inspire people. They have been the impetus behind countless songs, paintings, works of literature and early retirements. West Marine's founder and chairman, Randy Repass took his own passion for boating, channeled it into a prosperous business and revolutionized the way people shop for boating supplies.
What has become the world's largest boating supply retailer started modestly enough in a garage in Sunnyvale, CA. Repass, who was disappointed with his job at a Silicon Valley technology firm, turned to his love of boating for relief from the cold, impersonal nature of the high-tech industry. In 1968 he began selling nylon rope by mail order under the name West Coast Ropes. Occasionally, adventuresome customers would even drop by to pick up their orders in person.

"I decided from the beginning that I wanted to take care of people," says Repass. "The high-tech industry didn't provide me with an effective way to do that. But the boating industry gave me the opportunity to really enjoy my work and interact with customers who shared my interests."
West Marine - the largest boating supply company in the world!
