* (20 October 2025) Just added the latest scam tackle site ( egingrodsgear.com ) to the fraud list, and thought I'd remind you that this list is always updated, with an average of 25 new fake sites added every year. Share the list and spread awareness because the vast majority of fishermen don't even know that there is such a thing as a fake tackle site.

* (18 October 2025) Back from a 5-country fishing tour, and in my comfy bed for the first time in 63 days. Forget fishing; what on earth is the deal with that filo strings chocolate, sometimes labelled "Dubai" and other times without that label, which I kept stumbling upon every two steps? Airports, supermarkets, local grocery stores, and even newsstands, that thing is just everywhere I had to look under a hotel's bed in case some were hiding there waiting to crawl into my mouth after I fall asleep! This is hilariously inorganic, and someone is pushing this thing harder than I've seen anything being pushed since they told girls during the pandemic that spreading eagle on a demonic cam-site is "empowerment". Anyhow, will wind down and slowly ease into the Christmas spirit, as I sort through this summer's photos and notes and prepare a few articles. Stay tuned, my year is not over yet.

If you've never seen it, start reading from the beginning HERE, but if you've read the 2.5 pages published in April go to THIS PAGE and scroll down to where I approach the first tackle shop and begin reading. I hope you enjoy it.
