Anglers and boaters looking for a complete, do-it-all boat, thank goodness there’s the Lund Crossover. This ultimate watercraft is the marine industry’s gift to anglers and their families everywhere—dynamic styling, efficient performance and versatility galore—all wrapped up in an optimally designed sport-utility boat that everyone in the family is proud to own. 

The ingeniously designed, 1875 Crossover XS (see video)captivated the boating world last season. And now, it’s available in a slightly smaller configuration: the Lund 1775 Crossover XS. This refreshing ‘sport utility boat’ represents a whole new level of freshwater fun—100-percent Lund fishing machine combined with speed, agility and amazing family functionality. 

Packed with useful features from bow to stern, the economical yet spacious 1775 Crossover XS is full of surprises. It’s all the famed ‘fishability’ of a Lund and then some: lockable upper rod storage, 18-gallon aerated livewell and bait tamer, and a 12/24-volt bow trolling motor plug. It’s built on Lund’s tournament-winning IPS hull, assuring a smooth, safe, and dry ride. And for mounting rod holders, cup holders and other accessories without drilling holes, Lund’s exclusive SportTrack System helps protect your investment. 

Transform from the ultimate fishing machine to a versatile ski boat in an instant. Discover a perfectly positioned integrated boarding ladder, a center ski/wakeboard or additional rod storage area and a removable ski pylon. When you add in the hidden rear storage area that neatly holds the ski pylon and sun top, you have one of the most cutting edge designs the fishing boat industry has not seen before. 

Invite the whole gang—1775 Crossover XS comfortably carries up to seven. Besides three plush swivel seats—including an adjustable sliding driver’s seat—the 1775 Crossover XS’ rear casting deck converts into bonus seating, thanks to twin aft jump seats. Even the bow goes from casting platform to comfortable cruising when you add the optional bow cushions. 

For just plain cruising the lake in style and comfort, the Crossover’s massive storage compartments secure a mountain of gear safely—out of sight, out of mind. Fishing rods and tackle slide into 7-foot center and 8-foot port rod boxes. wakeboards, skis, more rods— you name it— tuck nice and snug into the generous in-floor center storage area. And while you’re exploring the bays, islands and peninsulas, enjoy the Crossover’s premium Clarion AM/FM sound system, complete with iPod jack and Sirius XM radio. 

Lund’s new 1775 Crossover XS—it’s the ultimate boat for all seasons, and for every reason you love to be on the water. Built on the rock-solid foundation of Lund’s patented IPS Hull and powered by a standard 115- to 150-hp Mercury engine, the Crossover entertains everyone. Matched with a ShoreLand’R Trailer, this athletic 17-foot, 10-inch model has carved out a category all of its own. Spacious, comfortable and versatile, Crossover XS not only delivers on the Ultimate Fishing Experience, it also encourages the social side of watersport.

Bound by Blood and a… – A River Never Sleeps

 

The McMillans embraced that approach as anglers, naturalists, photographers and scientists – and now, lucky for us, they have compressed their deep knowledge into a beautiful coffee table book.

Bound by Blood and a… – A River Never Sleeps

"May the Rivers Never Sleep – Living with North Pacific Rivers as Calendars in the Footsteps of Roderick Haig-Brown. By Bill & John McMillan. Frank Amato …ariverneversleeps.com/2013/01/"
http://ariverneversleeps.com/2013/01/

 John, a salmon ecologist, learned about fish and fishing at the elbow of his father, Bill, one of the founders of the Wild Fish Conservancy. And one senses from reading this book that the son has brought his own perspective to the waterfront, allowing both of them to expand their understanding of nature in a way that they would not have done, working alone. They make a fabulous team.

It is a good read and would make a very good present to a trout angler.

Who makes the best Rod

Who makes the best fly rod? Who are the top fly fishing rod manufacturers?

The answer depends on the fly fishing guide you talk to, and, unfortunately, the brands they endorse or are authorized dealers of. 

In an attempt to provide an objective list of the best fly fishing rods, we’ve researched the best fly rods used in the World Record Game Fishes book, published by the International Game Fish Association.

Here are the top fly rods, in terms of world records, along with links to price comparisons and in-depth reviews on those particular brands.

1. Sage Fly Rods (75 world records)

Best fly rods - Sage fly fishing

It’s obvious Sage fly rods are the best fly fishing rods in the eyes of world record fly fishermen.

With 75 world records, Sage has more than three times as many records as the next closest competitor.

Sage, founded in 1980 by legendary rod designer Don Green, is currently located in Bainbridge Island, Wash.

“Sage was created with one idea in mind – to build the world’s finest performance fly rods,” the company’s website notes. “Using world-class materials and years of experience gained while working with Fenwick and Grizzly rod companies, Don revolutionized the fly fishing world.”

Christmas Fishing: Trout Being Released Into East Bay Lakes …

 

Do you remember of what you asked your mates at Christmas time. What are they going to do for the next New Year, are they going to go fishing, take up golf,or spend less time at work. Now that the year has gone past have you sat for a moment and thought of what they have actually done that was different from last year or are they still in the same old rut.

While reading this article does it not remind you of somebody very close to home, or are you guilty to. Nothing new happens unless you put a bit of time and effort into it yourself, you need to put your best effort into it  as life is too short, and you only get one chance at it so you should make the most and enjoy.

 
 

About Rod Fly Fishing

WARNING

My original website was developed by:

Small Business Success Inc.
Clearwater, Fl.

The website developed for me by SBS Inc. never functioned satisfactorily and so I have decided to abandon their attempt and look for an alternative solution that WORKS!

Clearly SBS Inc. never understood my needs and developed an e-commerce website using WordPress and the Shopp plugin.

This has turned out to be a totally unusable for my needs and I would not recommend SBS Inc. or the Shopp plugin for WordPress.

I am therefore requesting a full refund of what I have paid SBS Inc. because they have not delivered.

I will also use the full power of Social Media to warn other unsuspecting people about SBS Inc. 

This page will remain live until such time as this refund is given.
