The Korum Ruckbag

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

The korum Tackle management system solves the ongoing poblem of all those assorted tackle boxes and trays that I have accumulated over time.

Now the Korum Ruckbag brings it all together in one simple manageable way.

At first sight the Korum RuckBag looks just like most other rucksacks. It is only when you start to use it that you realise the differences. The first obvious difference is the protective plate across what would normally be the back. This plate is designed to protect the Ruckbag,and your Fishing Tackle, from any damaging or wet fishing banks that you may drop it on. So why is the protection on what would normally be the back of the bag rather than on the base. Well, the RuckBag is designed to lay on its back rather than trying to stand upright as a conventional rucksack.

South Dakota Lake Maps and GPS Coordinates

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Whether you are looking for a South Dakota vacation house rental, fishing lakes or information on South Dakota tourism you can find what you need here. If the information you want isn’t here there will be a link to it in the navigation menu on the left. Pay some attention to the South Dakota lake maps with the GPS locations of the lakes.

Lake Preston South Dakota is right in the center of some of the best fishing in the country. Close by are Lake Thompson which is great fishing for walleyes and perch, Lake Henry, which is connect to Thompson when the water is high, for walleyes. Then there is also Whitewood lake which is really great for perch in the winter.

Lake Thompson in South Dakota is one of the premier fishing lakes around and has a very nice state recreation area where you can rent RV and camping spaces. They also have some small cabins for rent.

Bow hunting and bear hunting

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

The south dakota hunting season will be open in a few months so you should start making your plans now. Bow hunting for deer, that is.

I doubt that whitetail hunting has been this good in SD for a long time. Bring your hunting bows and give some of the whitetail, mule deer, antelope and elk hunting in South Dakota a try. You’ll be glad you did when you go home with a trophy. If you need some local deer hunting tips just ask in the hunting forum and the guys will be more than happy to help.

Bow hunting for deer has been good during this falls south dakota archery hunt. There are some nice pics of deer caught by camera in the hunting forum at Eastern South Dakota Hunting Forum. Whether your hunting horn or just hunting deer for the meat south dakota deer hunting is great. Deer and deer hunting is what it’s all about.

A little about bow hunting in general as this sport is getting more popular every year.

Bear hunting is becoming a controversial sport and this article is what I consider to be a kind of biased view of bear hunting. OTOH going to the local bakery and getting some of yesterdays donuts and pastries to bait bears with isn’t exactly a good image either. Personally I’d like to see that kind of bear baiting banned.

IMO if you’re going to hunt bears for the thrill of it then get all the thrills you can. Don’t sit 50-100 yards away and shoot some bear eating yesterdays donuts. Be a man, go into the bears domain and hunt for him there. Yeah, I know why a lot of people don’t do that but choose to shoot donut bears instead. Fear, plain and simple. They want to brag they killed a bear but they don’t want to be in danger doing it. Sheesh, man up, go hunt Mr. Bear where he lives and take your chances. Some days you eat the bear but one day the bear will eat you. That’s enough to make donut bear shooters out of most guys.

African safaris and canned hunting

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

African safaris were made famous by Hemingway and the tradition continues to this day with African safari tours and even a lion safari can be had.

In one way or another, we have all had contact with the work or read about the life of the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. We certainly don’t associate Hemingway with Africa hunting expeditions or wilderness.

Those who know a bit about the man have read of swashbuckling tales of drinking, bull fighting and hard living. We knew him as an avid sportsman who even penned one of his great books, The Sun Also Rises, around the annual running of the bulls in Spain.

In my opinion canned hunting isn’t ethical at all. Canned hunting is effectively trophy hunting a trapped animal. A canned hunt is a type of hunt that involves the hunter being promised a kill by a hunting agency or governing body.

The hunt usually takes place on the land that the host of the hunt, whether a hunting agency or private party, captures an animal and releases it in a generally enclosed area to be killed by the hunter. The enclosed area tends to be a small secure area so that the kill comes rather easily to the hunter.

This is one of the reasons I never went on a buffalo hunt out in Western South Dakota. It just doesn’t seem right, or sporting, to me to kill an animal that has no chance of escape. A hunt that relies on no skills at all isn’t a hunt, it’s just a kill and under those conditions a 5 year old could do it. Canned hunting is not a good thing.

Fishing lures and beginning bass fishing lures

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Fishing lures are used to catch fish and the lure you use will depend on what kind of fish you want to catch. Freshwater lures are available in an endless variety of styles, colors, sizes, and types.

The purpose of a lure is to catch fish, however some say odd colored or weird lures are designed to catch fishermen. The type of lure or jig someone chooses is usually based on previous experience, preference, or what the local bait shop says.

Fishing lures are generally stored in Fishing tackle boxes having a bunch of small open compartments on top, over a large compartment that is the bottom of the box.

Lures too large for the smaller compartments are placed in the bottom compartment. Leave your big lures in their boxes or the bottom of your tackle box will be a tangled up mess.

You don’t have to know about every type of freshwater fishing lures. There are just to many to deal with at once, particularly if you are a newbie to fishing or just beginning.

Just bass lures alone come in may different types. Poppers, chuggers, spinner baits, twister tails, plain jigs, skirts and more. That’s just bass lures, not walleye lures, lake trout lures, muskie lures, brown trout lures, brook trout lures, tube lures or other freshwater lures that are available for you.

Had enough yet as that doesn’t include minnow shaped lures or diving plugs, let alone the choices of wooden, steel, plastic or rubber and natural, like feathers or hide. Now you know why this is called beginning bass fishing lures.

Everybody can learn to sing

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Reading the lines above you might be thinking that often singing is rather “the act of producing awful sounds” and that the person exalting this noise would never be able to sing a clear tone. However, I assure you that with the correct practice, over time, anyone and everyone can learn how to sing.

First things first, you have to want to sing and you should probably like to sing. If you don’t like to sing because you sound terrible, that is ok as long as you are willing to learn. Second, remember that while I recommend that you use every chance you have to sing, like in the shower, in the car, while you clean the house, this should not substitute your daily practice.

Learning a new skill like singing requires practice, like all other skills you want to learn. No one is born with a voice like Pavarotti, so if you want to sound like him you need to practice like him.

Paint Balling for Beginners

Monday, December 14th, 2009

You probably have heard of one of the world’s fastest growing sports known as paint balling or more commonly referred to as “paintball”. This sport is a combination of many skills, and as such there is much more to it than simply running around the bush or field dressed up as “Rambo”.

Unfortunately there is a great deal of misinformation out there, generally put forth by people who have little, if any, real experience playing this exciting game. Tales of “so-called” injuries from playing paintball abound, yet if you wear the proper gear and follow the rules, the most you may have at the end of the day are some insignificant welts and perhaps a scrape or two from falling down or tripping while running through the bush or on the course. A very small price to pay for your participation in such as exciting, adrenaline pounding sport!

To this date, there are no verified deaths or life threatening injuries from paint balling or paintball being played in the correct manner. So what are you waiting for? If you are still unconvinced, read my article “Introduction to Paintball” for more information.

See you “on the field of battle”!

Walleye fishing techniques and fishing tackle boxes

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Fishing tackle boxes are the next most important thing after your rod and reel. I’ve had boat tackle boxes and even some of the biggest tackle boxes. Surprisingly enough, your tackle boxes and accessories will become very personal items and you won’t want anyone rummaging thru your box of Fishing Lures and equipment.

You can’t be successful at most things unless you have the right equipment. When people think of fishing, they automatically think of rods, reels, and bait. However, you cannot underestimate the power of the fishing tackle box because it plays an huge part in the success of your fishing trips.

Many people covet their tackle boxes because they represent a lifetime of trial and error regarding what methods work for which fish. Each lure has a memory or even many memories attached to it.

This walleye fishing article is a guest article. It’s pretty good walleye info and it’s also obvious the person is from Minnesota. Lol, the walleye fishing lake that’s the walleye capital of Minnesota is Mille Lacs. I’ve fished it hundreds of times for walleyes. For many years it was known as the dead sea but after some radical new fishing rules walleye fishing is now really hot. Anyway, here’s the walleye article.

Fishing is a sport that most people have tried at least once in their lives. It seems that no matter where you live there is some type of fishing available; whether it is freshwater, deep sea, stream or pond. The walleye fishing techniques that are used vary greatly, as well as the equipment that is needed. The equipment and techniques depend upon the species that is being fished. My husband and I do a great deal of freshwater fishing. I love the action of fishing for pan fish and bass, but you cannot beat walleye fishing for the great tasting fillets.

SD fishing report and lake view real estate

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

If you’re looking for a SD fishing report you are at the right place. This SD fishing report has a forum, a blog and tons of articles on fishing.

There is a ton of great fishing in South Dakota but most people don’t realize it. They think SD just has great pheasant hunting but the fishing is as good as the hunting, if not better.

One of the things that hard to find in SD is lake view real estate. When I was looking for a house or cabin in Eastern SD I was shocked to find that with all the lakes they have their was very little real estate available. Naturally I wanted it on a good fishing lake too.

I never did find a house on a lake lot that I was interested in but I did find that there were lake lots for sale on Lake Thompson. Lake Thompson is close to both Lake Preston and DeSmet SD and it’s one of the premier lakes for fishing walleyes and perch.

In the end I got my lake view real estate but I had to build a new house on the lake lot, I was very happy when my lake home was completed and I could do a lot of fishing in SD.

If you’re looking for SD Real Estate with a view of the lake or you just want a good SD fishing report check out the two links. You will be glad you did as real estate is cheap and the freshwater lake fishing is magnificent.
