The Coin of the Realm is Action FEBRUARY 16, 2014  BY  TOM SADLER   3 COMMENTS “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke Readers of the conservation topics in this blog know that I take the conservation of our public lands very seriously. At its core is the firmly held belief that  access to healthy habitat creates recreational opportunity that leads to economic activity . When those values are threatened by our elected officials or thinly veiled campaigns to discredit the good guys then we must do more than hope things will change. To that end, below are some recent articles that shine a light on the importance of our public lands and the perils of doing nothing. Each is worth a read, but  more importantly each must be seen as a call to action . Todd Tanner’s post,  Insidious: Let’s Stop Our Losing Streak from The Flyfish Journal and reprinted in Hatch Magazine is the strong medicine and dead on target. When you th

Folks come to Alaska from all over the world for a chance to catch a king on sport tackle, and every year the Southeast commercial troll fleet gears up for the short but intense opener to harvest these valuable fish. The largest of the Pacific salmon, the king attained historical weights approaching triple figures and is considered the sport angler’s prize fish, renowned for its fighting ability and unsurpassed as table fare. For the commercial fisherman, they represent the most value-per-pound of all the Pacific salmon and the fish most folks identify as the symbol of Alaska’s commercial fisheries. The least populous of all the salmon spec

Hey Yak Fishermen! Looking for fellow paddle anglers? Come hang out with us this Sunday at our West Ashley location for the first  Lowcountry Kayak Fishing Club  meeting. Starts @ 3pm. See you there! For the past few years a group of kayak anglers have been getting together once a month. Once a month the anglers would pick a location, post the date and time in the kayak fishing forum on charlestonfishing.com. They would meet at the designated boat ramp for their monthly ‘Meet & Fish’ event. With the start of 2014 the group has decided to take this informal group to the next level. So on February 2nd, 2014 at 2PM. This event will be hosted by the West Ashley Charleston Angler. The meeting will last between an hour to hour and half. The current scope definition for the Lowcountry Kayak Fishing Club will be kayak fishing in both saltwater and freshwater. The education in furthering the angler’s skill of handling a kayak while fishing and educating the general public on kayak fis

What type of fishing rod, reel, and line should you be using to cast one of these new-fangled contraptions called an “Alabama” Rig (also known as The Deadly 5, Bait Chaser Rig, The Swarm, Umbrella Rig?)  For starters, you’re going to need heavier types of outfits, as your fishing rods and reels must be able to handle heavy weighted lures.    It’s not just the weight of the rig, which alone can weigh up to five-eights ounce without any baits attached to it.  Add five three and a half inch Paddle Tail Shad in white and five quality jig heads and you will be pushing a total weight in excess of four ounces.  Some of us bass fishing guys are just not used to casting a lure that weighs as much as a wet tennis shoe.  So, you guys fishing with your lightweight rods – BEWARE.  Fishing with a lighter rod will cause you to make a return trip to your local tackle store to purchase another fishing rod.      In general terms of rod selection for this Rig, what you’re going to need is a min
