I have always loved getting out on opening day of fishing season but the fact I got married on April 17 means that every so often our anniversary is on the weekend and that kind of messes up my fishing plans.

I had the opportunity to go on a fishing trip and even asked permission. I guess I hadn’t been married long enough to know when YES means NO.

I went away on the fishing trip and I am sure I am still not forgiven for that bone-headed move.

Living in Moncton, New Brunswick we only have one east Indian restaurant that I is within walking distance so we like to go there on our anniversary.

The restaurant is just off Mountain Road on Killiam Drive and has the best Indian cuisine. Mmmm, so good and spicy.

Getting My Fishing License

I knew I wouldn’t be going fishing on the weekend, if I want to stay married, but Chubbies is just up the street and they sell fishing licenses. I suggested we go up there first and pick up my fishing license. I had to make a promise that I would not go fishing on the weekend. She even paid for my salmon license.

As of Sunday we were married 29 years and I remember that day so well. Fear will do that to you, kinda burns things into your mind.

We were blessed with the most gorgeous day.

Finally the wedding stuff was over and we were on our way out of town for our honeymoon. We were heading to Ontario to visit Niagara Falls and then to visit some of our family throughout Ontario. However our first night would be spent in Fredericton.

As we were getting closer to Fredericton we could see the water levels were so high they were right at the road. The radio was saying they might have to close that part of the road if it didn’t stop rising.

There were dozens of moose stranded on the road because the water was too high off road so there were police and rangers everywhere along the road telling people not to stop and take pictures as the moose were stressed enough already.

It took us a long time getting through that section of road and I kinda pushed the pedal to the metal trying to make up time. After all we were on our honeymoon. Then the lights came on, behind us. It was the police.

He saw the writing on the car saying “Just Married“, gave us a warning, wished us a happy marriage and sent us on our way with a message of safety.

Next year, 2012 is our 30th anniversary so I was thinking that maybe we could take a fishing trip somewhere nice. I haven’t got up the nerve to mention that one yet.

I love fishing but definitely have a passion for the Atlantic salmon here in New Brunswick Canada. The Miramichi River is one of the best fly fishing rivers for Atlantic salmon, hands down.

Hope you enjoyed this video and are now thinking about your next fly fishing adventure to New Brunswick.

Whenever people visit Alaska for the purpose of fishing they should know time is of the essense as there are seasons that are great and seasons that aren’t as great. Don’t be the one that didn’t take the time to plan your fishing trip.

This is because some kinds of fish are available and plentiful during certain seasons. Therefore, one has to get their timing rights if they would like to visit the state and get a certain type of fish. And it is because of this that people came up with Alaska fishing lodges which provide shelter for visitors in the form of comfort homes, provide necessary information and services for visitors who intend to enjoy their fishing trips at the lodgings.

One good about the Alaska fishing lodge is that it brings a new lifestyle that I may refer to as an ‘Alaskan way of life’ which is different from the hustles and bustles of major cities. But one of the top reasons for these lodges is the fishing experience. The main activity here is fishing, so people usually want a place to go back to and relax after the fishing experience. This is why the Alaska fishing lodge is good. The lodges also offer packages that are affordable for those people who are on a budget, they cater for everyone’s needs. The wonderful thing about these lodges is that they cater for everyone; even for those may be a little bit low on finances because the lodges have packages that meet everyone’s needs.

One of the thing to put into consideration when searching for the Alaska fishing lodge to stay in is its proximity to the water as well as facilities and services being offered by the hosts. There are good package that offers great food, lodging, fish process and also guides who are familiar with the place and could help visitors to choose the best spots for fishing around the area. The guides can also provide good advice on fishing.

If you find an affordable Alaska fishing lodge that offers a few of these services, then you should take it. This will save you the time and stress of searching for a package that is suitable for you by going from one agent to another. One important point to remember is that certain kinds of fish are found at certain areas, and these lodges are placed according to this. This could help in making your decision if you are only interested in certain kind of fish.

Last but not least, Alaska fishing lodges are a great way for one to get into the spirit of fishing and connecting with nature. For those people who like natural surroundings, visiting some of these lodges will give you the experience and relaxation one so deserves.

Fishing Florida Keys usually satisfy the the expectations of hobbyists who want to devote some time to their favorite pastime while in the company of their family.

Some Florida fishing websites will indicate the best fishing areas in the entire state, while other sites will mainly focus on describing the aquatic life variety specific to this peninsula. The fresh or salt water fishing varieties greatly influence Florida fishing choices, although the ocean proves the one to make the big attraction. Backwater fishing works great in the southwest of the state, but plenty of fresh water areas are inviting enough to attract great numbers of tourists interested in Florida salt fishing all year round. Florida’s geography actually allows for fishing outdoor activities, which would explain the popularity of the sport.

Extensive estuaries cover large parts of Florida, but these are natural reserves protected by government policy. These waters make a better life support environment for lots of species due to the very strict regulations that protect fauna and their habitat. Therefore, there are different regions where you cannot fish or hunt in Florida, but lots of other areas remains where Florida fishing gets at its peak. Here are a few places where Florida fishing is not restricted by law: the Gulf of Mexico, the coast of the Atlantic, Lake George, Lake Okeechobee or Lake Kissimmee.

Lodging, itineraries and transportation means to the destination are widely advertised on the Internet, so basically, there should be no problem about where you are going to stay or how you are getting there. Florida fishing trips are labeled as great opportunities for holiday makers, and even when boat rental proves necessary, it doesn’t get that expensive if you have a few friends to share costs with. Before selecting one service or another, make some research and find out the quotes for the various Florida fishing trips according to the season, and only then start carrying for the details.
