OSS Custom Baits

I want to take just a real quick moment here to share something AWESOME with you guys! 

A good friend of mine, Matt Kar, has been working with a company in Tennessee that custom paints crank baits, jerk baits and top water lures with absolutely MIND BLOWING detail! Matt and Todd of OSS Custom Baits paired up to come up with a couple of color combinations that I know Matt is just dying to test out. I'll be honest with you, I'm not an easy guy to impress, but OSS has done just that. 

Matt has recently taken his relationship with OSS Custom Baits to the next level, as he has been invited (and accepted) to join the companies Pro-Staff as a representative to Canada! 

Please see below where I will include links to OSS Custom Baits so you can check out the hand painted work that Todd does on each and every lure he creates! You can get pretty well any lure model you fancy, custom painted! Personally, I love his Little Johns, PopMax and DD8's and can't wait to add a few to my tackle boxes! 

I will also include information on how to get in touch with Matt for greater details and how to place an order. He will be able to help you choose the correct models and patterns for your style of fishing. Like I mentioned before, I have known Matt for a number of years now and will testify that he is a great guy, and an even better angler... he knows his stuff! Give him a shout and check out these awesome baits!

CSFL Presents the Spring Fishing and Boat Show

Well. It's February now!

I'll be the first to tell you that I'm not much of a winter person, but February is a great month. We have Groundhog Day to hope for an early spring, Valentines Day to spend with that special someone, and Family Day to spend with your family at the Spring Fishing and Boat Show presented by Andy Pallotta and his family. I'll tell you straight up, they do a fantastic job! They put a lot of hard work and dedication into the show, be sure to enjoy and pass kind words and a "Thank You" to them! For those of you who are familiar with the Competitive Sport Fishing League, Andy's family also runs it!

I started going five or six years ago now and have become addicted to the show! This years show will run from February 15th through the 18th at the International Center in Mississauga, ON. You'll be quite happy to know that parking won't cost you a dime! No lie! Parking for FREE in the GTA!

Take my word for it, the Spring Fishing and Boat Show will blow your mind! They have hundreds, if not thousands of exhibitors and merchants on hand throughout the duration with TONS of new and exciting products! The best part is this... everyone there is a hardcore angler just like you and I! It really is like a family gathering on a GIANT scale! Make a point to walk around and speak with all the vendors and make friends with everyone! I've had many relationships begin just by speaking with people for 5 minutes! At this point I'm not too sure what day I'll make it up there, as I have a couple of firearms courses (VERY poorly scheduled on my behalf) that interfere with the show. Be sure to swing by the Frostbite Tackle and Guide Service booth though, there's a good chance you'll find me there!

This years show will run on Family Day weekend! The hours and entry fee are as follows:

February 15:     12:00pm - 9:00pm
February 16:     09:00am - 6:00pm
February 17:     10:00am - 5:00pm
February 18:     10:00am - 5:00pm

Adults:     $15.00
Seniors:    $12.00 ($8.00 on Feb. 15)
Juniors:    $10.00 (Aged 6 to 15)
Children:   FREE  (Aged 6 and under)

Be sure to stop by the show this Family Day weekend! Don't take my word for it, go and experience this incredible gathering of everybody and everything fishing for yourself! What better way to spend quality time with your family than at, what is in my opinion Canada's greatest outdoor show, the Spring Fishing and Boat Show!  I will attach a link to the shows website below for you to explore a bit more!



OH! Here is a link to a blog that is run by a fellow angler of mine, Sam Rankin. See his article about the show for some new products from Anglers Choice as well as a $2 OFF COUPON to save you two-bucks on your admission! Think about it... $2 more to spend on some hot new fishing gear!!!



Take Care fishing friends, hopefully see you in Mississauga soon!
