Fish Taxidermy
The Lure of the Lure

Do you remember when one aisle of lures would be enough and we were still able to catch our fish? However, we were wrong and the manufactures are now out to prove it to us. We now have choices, so many choices. I now call them my Lure de Jour. I have a different lure for each day of the year and more. Sometimes even in three or four colors.
Lures have become hot! They not only have hooks to catch our fish, but they have the hooks to drag us down each aisle. We are all in search of finding that one special, you all know what I mean… this is the one, I can feel it, I know its going to catch fish, Lure!
Since I have spent many hours in a tackle stores investigating, comparing and purchasing what Looks Hot for the season I can guarantee to you that somewhere in my tackle box now sits that secret lure. At least I hope it is and sure hope I got the right color.
If it attracts us, well it must attract the fish, Yes? Well actually No. Just because we found the colors interesting or thought the bait was just to pretty to leave behind, doesn’t mean that it’s actually going to catch anything more then the one fish that is buying it. Yes that’s you, or me.
The end result is and always will be how many fish it’s going to catch and how big. I know that I want to be coming off the lake showing the boys my shopping trips were well worth it.
We all know that we are searching to find that secret bait. We want that special lure that will guarantee that we catch the biggest fish. We want the one that will prove to everyone that we deserve the title of angler of the weekend. Aren’t we all weekend warriors in search of the ultimate prize, the bragging rights, and the right of passage?
The bait company’s have made sure that they challenge us. They have created and recreated baits for each species, water color, depth, season and any condition that they believe we may encounter. They tempt us with more each year, bigger, better, more colorful. We also know how difficult it has become to sort through the rows and rows of plastic and rubber thing a ma jigs to find that special lure that says,
“I am going to catch you a big fish”.
They have made in every color under the rainbow some form of eye catching fish design ready to be tied to the end of your fishing line. The lures are painted, metal and plastic some with holograms shimming and calling our name. “Look, I will fool that fish, I promise” or “If you just try me I know I can catch huge fish.”
I wonder many times if I may have left the Best lure still in the store.
After the weekend of using some of my new baits, I am mostly disappointed. If I had only picked up that other special hologram version in the passion purple, I just might have caught myself that trophy fish. Darn, next time.
“I’m going to catch You a Big Fish!” Ha, do you sometimes wonder if that Lure is actually saying … “I just caught myself a big fish! As you head to the cashier.
Maybe those Lure manufacturers are sitting back laughing at how many fish they caught.
All I know is I can’t wait to go back shopping again. I am sure now that I would have done so much better with the purple passion. Darn. Maybe next week.
Ocean Sport Fishing – A Great Quality Time Family Hobby
The beauty of our world’s oceans is indescribable for the most part. Words like splendor and majesty can only touch the surface, experiencing ways to engage it are the only times when we truly appreciate its wonders. It is a complex realm of discovery that offers many opportunities to learn, and with that learning, an opportunity to share it with others. Nowhere on this earth can be seen as more beautiful, yet rouged, incredibly spacious and awe inspiring as the oceans. As a young child I was drawn to it like a magnet draws to iron. I can still remember going to the beach for the first time. It became an adventure for me that day, and I have sought ways to enjoy it throughout my lifetime.
My father had a gift for engaging the interest of his children into his hobbies. He loved sport fishing of all kinds; both ocean and freshwater fishing were passions of his. Because he shared this with all of his children, we developed a strong bond, both to him and with the leisure hobby activity of sport fishing itself. From the age of six or seven until I became a young teenager, we enjoyed going fishing together many times.
We made special trips simply to fish for species that feed best at night; when the water temperature was right, or the moon was in the proper phase, whatever he was teaching us. Finally we got to go sport fishing in ocean waters: when I was thirteen years old I went on my first ocean fishing trip with my father. This became one of my passions in life, many of which were gifts of experience and learning through him.

My first sport fishing trip on the ocean came in mid-summer 1967; my father told me and my brother Steven that he was taking us the following Saturday night. This being a Tuesday, we couldn’t sleep at night for the rest of the week. Our heads were full of wonder about the possibilities, and ideas about what it would be like. We had been on small boats many times, but never a boat as large as the sport fishing boats dad had been going out on with his friends. He always brought back large fish: Albacore, Yellowtail, Rock Cod, Calico Bass, Barracuda, Ling Cod, you name it. We were very excited, and could hardly wait for Saturday to come, we just knew that big hookups were coming our way too.
Saturday came none too soon for us. We were to leave that night at 11:00 PM, for an all-day trip to the Coronado Islands off the coast of Southern California. We were headed for the outer bank fishing area; there was an El Nino’ current, and big schools of Tuna were coming in relatively close to the islands. Dad was all smiles; you could see he was proud to bring us on this particular trip. Two friends of his were coming too, and they teased me and my brother to no end about these fish whipping our butts and so forth. That just made us more eager to get on with it. The idea of a fish fighting so hard excited us even more. Visions were plentiful on this day.
We drove to Pacific Landing in Long Beach, California, after stopping to buy some special lures dad needed for us kids. Walking inside the landing office was exciting in itself, the sights and smells were of fishing and fun. The walls were covered with taxidermy trophies, one a very hugh ‘Black Sea Bass’, had a Cuban cigar in it’s mouth and excited us even more. The boats outside were 85′ to 110′ in length, painted blue and white and looked like some sort of floating heaven. We rented the appropriate fishing rods and reels for me and my brother. Dad helped us pick out the right fishing tackle and leaders needed for big game fish. Finally, we got new gunny sacks to keep our catch in, and boarded the boat.
The boat set out at 11:00 as scheduled. Me and my brother were in seventh heaven. There was not a place onboard we didn’t find our way into. The skipper let us in the pilot house, and we were awed by the controls, radar, sonar fish finders, and the compass and radio system. Skip talked to us about everything, and I remember it all like it was yesterday. We finally went to the bunkroom and fell asleep restlessly. The sound of thumping on deck woke us up the next morning. People were shouting loudly and from the sound of it, big fish were slapping the deck with their strong tails. It was like nothing we had ever heard before, but me and Steven knew it was jackpot time. We excitedly headed for the upper deck and our fishing poles.
When we got on deck it was 8:30 AM and a hugh fish was thrashing the deck right in front of our eyes. The deckhand, ‘Whitey’ had just removed the gaff after pulling the fish from the water for the angler who had caught it. It was a 12-16 Lb Yellowtail, and along the decks it seemed like everyone was hooked up. Poles were bent everywhere and smiles were on everyone faces, including ours. We moved as quickly as we could to retrieve our poles, which had been rigged with 8″ Blue and White Apollo Jigs the night before. Jocko, a friend of my dads saw us and called us over to see him. He was laughing at us and teasing that we were not good fishermen if we didn’t get our line wet in one minute.
I had pretty good experience casting a conventional rig, and was real good at it. My brother Steve was no slouch either, we cast out for quite a distance. Fish were literally boiling in the water. You could see them breaking the surface, and just under it feeding on the chum they had been thrown by the deckhands. I started retrieving my Jig right after it had hit water. I wanted to keep it on the surface, or just under it, because the fish were right there. About my third cast, I got a hookup that doubled my rod over. Line was pealing off my reel, so I adjusted my drag a little tighter. Still the line kept going and I didn’t know what to do. My father showed up right about that time and told me to tighten the drag a little more and let the fish have his head. Meaning let him run for a minute. I did as instructed, awed at the power I felt pulling on my rod. I had caught big fish before, but nothing like this.
As the fish ran, it changed direction several times. Once toward the boat, causing my line to go slack, and once towards the bow. I had been at this for about ten minutes, pulling in slack line as fast as I could, and alternately walking along the side of the gunnel rail as the fish took me for a walk. Dad was right there encouraging me, Jocko and his friend Claude were egging me on and predicting the fish would wipe my butt, all in fun. I was pretty tired, my arms were locked-up from holding weight and tension for about 20 minutes already, but I could tell the fish was getting weaker all the time. I’d get him where I could see him struggle, and he’d run full steam again, twice right under the boat. Finally, I got him to the side of the boat where Whitey could gaff him.
This was a ‘Bigeye Tuna” he said, and it’s going to go about eighty pounds. I could not believe how big he was when pulled onto the deck. It took Jocko and Whitey both to get him aboard using two gaffs. As the fish hit the deck, he slapped it hard with his tail for about one minute. Whitey smacked him on the top of the head with a ‘Louisville Slugger’, just to quite him down. I was grinning from ear-to-ear, and dad was congratulating me to no end. Steven, my brother had caught two Yellowtail, averaging about 14-20 Lbs each, and had his Jig back in the water. We caught allot of fish that day, but none as large as my Bigeye was. I didn’t get the Jackpot money, because I never got in the Jackpot the night before. My Bigeye weighted in at 86 pounds 14 ounces, the biggest fish boarded that day. It filled the bathtub from end-to-end, when we got home. His tail stuck out of the end of the bathtub about eight inches, he sure was big.
We fished all that morning and early afternoon. I caught a bag full of Yellowtail and Albacore, and a few Barracuda to boot. Seems they run in packs together. That was a great first trip. My dad knew we were going to catch fish, that’s why he took us. He explained later that he hadn’t taken us before because he didn’t think we could land big fish yet. Well, of course I said I was ready before this trip. He just laughed at me and rubbed my swollen head.
It’s times like this that children remember forever. Its times like this that create a bond with nature, and parents. I have never forgotten a minute of this trip. It happened many years ago, and was followed by many solo trips, trips with my friend John Hogan, and my sister Charlene. After this trip, my father would later give me twenty bucks so I could hit the fishing boats by myself, or with a friend. That is why I share this now. You can never have a better time to share with your children than outdoor activities. It’s real important to spend physical time together in a quality way, sharing and learning together.
Here’s to sport fishing as a hobby. Try this at home, it works!
Pier Fishing on the Outer Banks
Do you love to fish and love the beach? No matter what your pleasure, the Outer Banks along the North Carolina coast are the perfect place to enjoy both! Anytime is a great time for fishing, and the Outer Banks has been famous for excellent fishing for more than sixty years. You can enjoy fishing in the ocean without the cost of a boat at one on the Outer Banks Fishing Piers. Pier fishing is fun and relaxing for the entire family, and finding a pier close by is not a problem. You will find a good choice of piers from Cape Hatteras to Kitty Hawk.
Need a rig and tackle? That is not a problem either! Most piers have a bait shop where you can buy a rod and reel, or they will rent you one, and hook you up with bait and tackle. They also have great snack shops, and some even have restaurants that will cook your catch for you! Now, that is what I call “fresh seafood”!
Fishing is always great, but the best time to visit an Outer Banks fishing pier is in the fall when the water temperature cools. The fishing is more active this time of year, because bigger game fish will swim closer to the shore as the water temperatures begin to drop. This will give you the opportunity to catch a “big one” right from the pier! Fishing activity will vary depending on the time of day, weather, and the water tides. The locals at the pier will be able to tell you the fishing conditions, or you can check the local fishing reports. You can hook some very nice fish from the Outer Banks fishing piers, such as flounder, drum, pompano, bluefish, shark, striped bass, and King Mackerel.
After a fun day on the beach, and maybe some Outer Banks sightseeing, why not head to the pier for some night fishing! The piers have plenty of lighting and the fishing is often very good at night. Usually, the sharks are livelier, and seem to hit harder after dark. The bright lights from the pier attract the small bait fish, which means the bigger fish are close by and hungry! This puts you in a perfect spot to hook a big one!
Many people refer to the Outer Banks as a fishermen’s paradise and if you are new to the sport, pier fishing is a great place to start! There is a big fish out there with your name on it just waiting for you to cast out your line. Where do you hook a “big one” if you do not have a boat? You guessed it! Right on the pier! Some of the largest fish on record were caught on the pier!

Still Life: Adventures In Taxidermy $14.49 It’s easy to dismiss taxidermy as a kitschy or morbid sideline the realm of trophy fish and jackalopes or an anachronistic throwback to the dusty diorama. Yet theirs is a world of intrepid hunter-explorers eccentric naturalists and gifted museum artisans all devoted to the paradoxical pursuit of creating the illusion of life. Into this subculture of insanely passionate animal lovers ventures journalist Melissa Milgrom whose journey stretches from the anachronistic family workshop of the last chief taxidermist for the American Museum of Natural History to the studio where an English sculptor granddaughter of a surrealist artist preserves the animals for Damien Hirst’s most disturbing artworks. She wanders through Mr. Potter’s Museum of Curiosities in the final days of its existence to watch dealers vie for preserved Victorian oddities and visits the Smithsonian’s offsite lab where taxidermists transform zoo skins into vivacious beasts. She tags along with a Canadian bear trapper and former Roy Orbison impersonator–the three-time World Taxidermy Champion–as he resurrects an extinct Irish elk using DNA studies and Paleolithic cave art for reference; she even ultimately picks up a scalpel and stuffs her own squirrel. Transformed from a curious onlooker to an empathetic participant Milgrom takes us deep into the world of taxidermy and reveals its uncanny appeal. |
