Maui Jim Sunglasses Review
For several months now I’ve had the pleasure of rocking a pair of Maui Jim World Cup fishing sunglasses. A few words could sum up that experience and this Maui Jim review like “love em” and “quality”. You can just feel the quality when you pick them up they have a nice weight to them. They open smooth with their quality anti corrosive hinges. Made in Italy these Maui Jim’s are looking pretty sweet..they look and feel amazing and that’s before even putting them on. I got mine in the matte black frames which just looks bad ass! I also chose the HCL® Bronze lens good for various light and weather conditions.
Putting them on the optics truly do allow you to “see the brilliance” they provide crisp beautiful colors like I have seen in no fishing glasses before.
You need to check out Maui Jim Polarized fishing glasses wether your salt water fishing marlin or your catching bass on your home lake. They had me sight fishing bass and carp all season and they are still at work into the ice fishing season of today.
Fire, and fishing, and living! Oh, my!
Haven’t posted in some time, rest assured your friendly neighborhood fishing gang is alive and well. We had a fire at our home base several months back and spent the summer on the lake without a internet connection. Some tough times and some fun times building docks and decks, Camp fires with the family and of coarse a healthy amount of fishing all while working and dealing with it all. Things are now settling back to normal so hopefully we can bring you more of that Angler Gang brand fishing and living on the regular.
Mystery Tackle Box Review
Well if you haven’t heard of Mystery Tackle Box yet maybe you live under a rock? Or maybe you don’t take part in the whole social media scene? Wait how did you even find your way to this web site? Or maybe you haven’t found your way to this web site and I’m just talking to myself?… I’m gonna go lay down.
Still here? OK well Mystery Tackle Box is a subscription service where every month you get a new Mystery Tackle Box chalked full of new baits. As of now its primarily bass tackle but Ive heard rumors that species specific boxes are in the works. I’ll let you watch a short video explaining how it works. For those of you in the know continue on to the review.
They said it would be “Like Christmas every month” and I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy about it already.
Inside the Mystery Tackle Box there were four pieces of tackle along with a letter, some business cards and stickers. Overall great first impression the presentation was super clean and professionally done. First piece of tackle was a Compact spinner bait by Stanley lookin good I love my spinner baits! Next a 4” Tandem Rig by Logic Lures which looks like a very interesting and potentially dangerous player for giant bass. A Strike King Red Eye Shad crank bait looks pretty sweet gotta love it. And last but not least a pack of swivels by InvisaSwivel these look awesome and I’m kind of pumped to try these clear swivels out.
All in all I loved the Mystery Tackle Box experience and some great tackle came in it. This will have you trying lures you may not normally try and who knows you may just catch a fish you wouldn’t normally catch. I’m looking forward to Christmas again next month well next month is actually Christmas but you get the point. Great job Mystery Tackle Box I’m hooked!

Angler Gang and Chasin Tail Outfitters at it again…We set out on what had to be the gloomiest rainiest mornings of the warm weather season so far. Dark skies and patches of pouring rain on the drive in weren’t going to deter me from the chance to catch some great fish. The weather cleared up by the time we reached our starting spot and with the roof covering half the boats deck things were comfortable as we awaited strikes. Our lines were down no longer than five minutes and there was a fish on which I ended up losing near the boat. I didn’t mind much with a fish on that fast, it wouldn’t be long before another and it wasn’t. Moments later I brought in this rainbow.
After this one it was a while before another take but the next one was a good one. This time I was hooked up with a huge chinook salmon that started pealing line like it was his job. Line counter read 508 by the time he finished his initial run. It was a great battle and the beautiful chinook salmon weighed in at 25.4lbs
We fished on catching some more rainbow trout and smaller salmon before the next great battle with a king. Had this one on a lighter outfit and he was down for a fight this morning. This fish stayed deep and fought hard the entire time. This one ended up weighing less but had twice the fight in him.
