Grizzly Bear Attack!: Do the Bear Dance

In the summer of 2009, my wife and I migrated out West to the state of Wyoming to spend three months working at slave labor wages in Yellowstone at one of the concessions. We moved into a dormitory with an unusual assortment of characters who had no idea what they were getting into. Most were students from various countries who had come to the US and Yellowstone for the first time. But there was one man I met there who had been coming to this place for over 30 years. He brought his children for many years, but by the time I met him, it was only he. I wondered often why he would work there for such little pay and what seemed like boring work in this remote place. But every day either before work or after or in between shifts, he donned his fishing shirt and dragged his waders off to some remote meadow or wooded area where he waltzed into the water to do one thing and one thing only. Fly fish for trout.

I started talking to him one day about this obsession he had with fishing every waking moment of his life. And at the same time, I began to wonder about the obsession everybody else in Yellowstone had when they walked anywhere during the day or ventured out at night to their tents, cabins, dorms, or bathrooms. I am talking about bears. No one can live or work or leisure in Yellowstone without thinking about bears.

So I asked him if he had ever run into a Grizzly. He said that he had fished in Yellowstone almost every day he had been there for well over 30 years and never once had a run in with a bear. Until one day. He was out in the middle of a river angling away when he happened to turn around. There, before his terror-stricken face was a 1500 pound Grizzly splashing through the water and bounding for him in an all out sprint with its mouth wide open. He said he nearly passed out.

Now if you just casually stroll through any concession in Yellowstone, you will shortly happen upon a variety of means that the Park provides to enable you to save yourself from being ripped to shreds by one of these carnivores. The defense falls into two categories. One is a SOUND, and the other is a WEAPON, albeit only a spray. The sound is a BELL. A BELL, I said. The Park urges people to carry something that sounds like a sleigh bell or a little leather ring of bells that jangle as you walk along the paths in the wild woods of Yellowstone. Apparently the bears have a high sense of hearing and will detect encroachment by humans at the sound of bells and will lead their young and themselves off and deeper into the rugged terrain. Now I got to thinking about this. Why wouldn't the bell also be the sound of dinner being served as if a cook took an iron bar and began to vigorously round it inside a huge triangle like he did in the Western movies and belted out a sing-song, "Coooommmme annnnnd geeeeeeeet iiittttttt?" As far as I am concerned, carrying a bell in Grizzly country would be about the same thing as arming yourself with a pencil. So I won't be one who sets off on a hike outfitted with a bell in the midst of Grizzly bears.

The other means of saving yourself is akin to the human equivalent of mace. You can buy yourself a can of what is called "Bear Spray," which is supposed to be 10x more powerful than pepper spray. You can even buy a nice little holster for it and wear it on your belt like a gun. One of these cans costs about $50. I have seen people load up with these things and head off into the woods with a couple cans, just in case. I think it says on the can that you have about 15 seconds of material in the can if you hold down the spray nozzle and make the really big and unfortunate mistake of unloading it all in one shot.

Okay, so the way this works is that you are stalking around Yellowstone and suddenly look up. You behold barreling down the path at about 35 miles per hour 1500 pounds of fur and teeth and claws like the kind found on Freddie Krueger in Nightmare On Elm Street, except that with one swipe a bear can disembowel you and tear your head off. Hopefully you have already read the directions on the can several times and are not given to panic and total memory loss in a stressful situation because at this moment you are supposed to be able to think straight, remain calm, take the can out of the holster attached your soaking wet pants, aim it with a steady hand, and - now get this part - WAIT! Yes, WAIT till the bear is about 15 feet away. A 1500 pound Grizzly going at 35 miles per hour with his mouth wide open is going to look like the entrance to a two car garage. With your wits about you and having mentally marked off where the 15 foot line would be in a split second, you deliver about a 5 second, red cloud blast of bear spray. Now stop...if you have done this correctly, you should be able to hear the brake pads of the bear's paws being applied to the dirt path and pine needles as he skids to a tire-screeching halt just in front of the puddle in which you will be standing. This red cloud is supposedly the same thing as a reinforced brick wall. If the bear begins another charge, then you lay out another five second cloud for him to think about. This next part is not in the directions, but right about then is when I would think that having two guns in two holsters is better than one, and I would be withdrawing the next can and flicking off the lid with my thumb right about then. In any case, according to the Park rangers and environmentalists who are going to haul you off to jail if you shoot a Grizzly, the bear spray will do the trick.

But after 30 years of seeing no bears, this guy I was telling you about that was fishing in the river and saw his casket coming toward him on four legs had no bear spray. So what did he do? Somewhere along the line, someone had passed down to him a tried and true method that in a dire emergency was supposed to be as effective as the Berlin Wall. It is called "The Bear Dance", and at that very moment he dropped everything he owned and employed it like he was Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly hand in hand going to town as if they were tap dancing on hot, molten lava. Now a normal person who would look up and see the world's largest bear boring down on him would think that racing through the woods at lightning, world record speed would be preferable to a very fast version of The Pony and The Mashed Potatoes right then. But that person would be wrong. No, what you must do - and you had better be dropping the fishing pole and be about doing it real fast - is the Bear Dance.

Now here is how the Bear Dance goes, as he described it to me. He said that there were effectively, logically, and logistically Two Parts to it. In the FIRST PART, you start jumping up and down as high and as fast as you can go and waving your arms and legs wildly and maniacally about like your hair is on fire. The idea here is to make yourself look as wide and as fierce as you can. Now this may be something that in some way you would probably do anyway to some extent as you lose complete control of yourself while trying to lighten your load and get the hell out of there. In the SECOND PART, you start screaming bloody murder at the top of your lungs. Again, it is probably unnecessary to even mention this point because you would probably be doing this too. You can yell and say whatever you want like, "Stop, you mangy %$#@", or growl and huff and puff, but one thing you want to make sure you do you is continue cursing and using the foul language you started with till you are hoarse. I hate to keep repeating myself, but that seems to me to be a rather needless admonition too, as that will probably be another thing that comes pretty naturally about then. My guess is that you would be spewing a wall of curse words that you suddenly remembered from high school or from what you heard other people saying at work. But for most people, it will more likely come from what they have practiced for many years.

In any case, those are the only two parts of the Bear Dance when done with all your might that are actually required to stop the bear. But most people also notice a THIRD PART that seems to involuntarily accompany the other two parts. This is not something you SHOULD do or would even WANT to do. In fact, if you had to call it up on command, you probably would not be ABLE to do it. But it just seems to be part of the whole experience. That is, you are likely to notice very strong and obnoxious bathroom odors emanating up around you. I don't know if these fresh, offensive scents will give the bear pause and be a part of the process that stops him like a train, but it certainly doesn't hurt. It has been effective in other situations.

If the bear should mount another charge, repeat all the above with even more intensity and determination. In the case of the man above, he said he felt like he was on American Bandstand. He had to do the Bear Dance about five times that day to get the bear to turn back completely. He would do a really fast and unrehearsed version of the Watusi like he was on Dancing With the Stars, and the bear would pause. Then the bear charged again, and the man resumed with a spectacular and somewhat abridged impression of the Charleston. Again the bear paused and then started in again. This time the man heard Alice Bridges singing "I love the nightlife, I love to boogie...", and he went totally berserk with a rendition of the Jitterbug, the Chicken Dance, and Stayin' Alive as if he were in a dance contest on Soul Train (try to picture this while he is screaming at the top of his lungs and using every four letter word he has ever heard) a third time and stopped the bear cold fifteen feet out. The bear then turned and walked away. He told me he could not talk for two days after that.

They have produced many DVDs and also write for a lot of magazines and newspapers on regular basis giving constant up to date correct fishing tips and information to their very loyal fan base.

Everyone's talking about the new light emitting Esca Lures.

Buy these exciting new Esca Lures online at - www.escalure.co.uk

When Korda distribute their products they aim to give you as much information about the product as possible and they also try to give you as many tips as possible to using it correctly. For instance if you went out a and bought one of their DVDs you will be sitting there intently as everything is explained clearly and in so much depth to you.

The Korda team is built up of some much respected anglers, this must be why all of the products and information that is rolled out from them is so bang on. They give their entire products range thorough field testing to make sure that everything is working fine and that everything is durable and most importantly that it works the way it should, ensuring that it is the best on the market. Also it is these anglers who provide all of Kordas information which is why they have become so respected for their work. Everything from them is top notch on quality.

For one of the best fishing information resources on the web you will want to take a look at their website where they offer you all of this vast information on all of their products. Korda make sure that if you are just starting out as an angler you are going to be able to use their products without any issues, they believe that everyone should be able to do it so if it isn't clear at the start they will make it clear before anything goes to print or publication so that even the very most beginner of anglers can understand what is going on and how it should be done as professionally as possible.

I have seen many galleries, photos and videos from Korda products being used and the end results that they have produced, believe me they are exceptional and I can see why they are the leading company in fishing rig and tackle products worldwide, some of the pictures are incredible.

I can certainly recommend that you any angler should try them out because if you want to catch the best you need to fish with the best.

Korda - Leaders in Fishing Tackle and Information - What They Do

If you love fishing and know bits and bobs about what is out the for fishermen to use then you may have heard of Korda, They are a fishing tackle manufacturer that create and expand on their own rigs, hooks, systems and many other fishing essentials. The best bit about this company is that everything is designed for anglers by anglers. The team at Korda is made up of anglers and they definitely know what they are doing. If they didn't then they would not have the company where it is today.

As well as selling their own systems and other fishing equipment Korda are well respected for the information that they provide to the fishing community. They have produced a lot of DVDs providing so much information for anglers that of all experiences from beginner to expert. Korda have always been dedicated to getting real tips and information across to anglers and have been a leader in fishing information for a long time.

Korda DVDs are not like the average fishing video where all you see is fish being caught and nothing explained, they are instead probably one of the most valuable learning resources for anglers. Their videos go into so much depth and give so much information you will want to get out of there and onto the banks as soon as you can armed with your new knowledge. In Korda DVDs you will not be constantly watching fish get caught, you will also be experiencing what the anglers are doing as they take you through everything and then when a catch occurs they will show you what to do. I would have to say they are the top fishing information people around. Another good thing about these videos is that even if you are a more experienced angler, you will not feel like you are being patronized as the videos are explained in a way that is easy for both experienced and beginners to understand and watch.

Another reason why Korda is one of the leading fishing designers and manufacturers is because of their mottos and the way that they think and design. Take for example the fishing systems that they have designed and created, they will say that no matter how much harder it is to make the product they will make it work so that every system fits in with the existing product line. They also bring up good points about how annoying it can be to have to use different size rig tubes and swivels etc, that is why they have taken the initiative to design rigs and systems and all their equipment in one size so that it saves you the angler money and also save you a lot of headaches and time when messing around with your different size equipment changing all the time.

Another thing about Korda is that they put in so much time and effort with these systems and rigs etc that you know you will be able to rely on them, one piece of equipment that comes to mind is the way they put so much time and care into the rig bit colours. They spend a lot of time on these because they know that without the right colours you are going to have problems catching a fish that knows that you are there.

All in all I would highly recommend Korda equipment to any angler and suggest checking out their videos whether you are a beginner or a expert fishermen.

Korda Fishing Tackle - Informative and Quality

Everyone's talking about the new light emitting Esca Lures.

One of the best things about Korda fishing tackle is that you can find so much information on it before your try or buy the tackle, Korda strive to give anglers as much information as they possibly can so that their products will be used to the best of there abilities and will maintain a high standard in the industry. The amount of information that Korda provides for its anglers is of very High Quality and is very informative for all anglers.

Korda fishing tackle ranges are extensive to say the least and offer very high quality products for reasonable prices. The Korda fishing tackle ranges from rigs to leads to systems and all of them live up to anglers expectations and have the durability needed with your fishing tackle gear.

One good thing about Korda fishing tackle is that they believe "why should you have different sizes for each part of your gear", this is a great philosophy because they make one size for all and make each bit of your gear interchangeable so that you do not have to spend more money on different size equipment than you need as one size fits all with Korda.

Another great philosophy that Korda undertakes is that they will check their products all the time checking for quality and design, where if the Korda fishing tackle would not be used by them themselves, it will not be shipped out to customers as they use the "I wont use, I wont sell" method.

All of the Korda fishing tackle range has been developed by anglers for anglers so you can guarantee that when purchasing a piece of equipment from them you are buying quality goods that many happy anglers have used as well as you.

You can probably tell so far that Korda want to make sure that their products are at the best standard and of the highest quality, but also because of what I said at the start about the information they provide, it edges them in front of the competition even further. The information available on Korda fishing tackle is extensive and ranges from pamphlets to DVDs. Because of all this information which they have strive to make available customers feel a lot more secure and happy because they always get quality products along with the correct information to use it.

Because korda do not just use a couple of anglers to go out and use their tackle but carefully select some of the most knowledgeable anglers around the country, that have so many different fishing styles, you know that your Korda fishing tackle is going to be used correctly no matter what fishing style you have as there is always information made available for it.

I hope that this article has helped you in your choices and maybe even gets you closer to deciding where you are going to get your next piece of fishing tackle from, as quality is a priority for you the angler.

Summary of "Korda - Leaders in Fishing Tackle and Information - What They Do"Korda - The Reason Fishing is Easy

Korda developments is a fishing tackle development and manufacturing company which produce high quality top of the market fishing tackle products which are made for all levels of anglers by anglers. They are world renowned for their fishing rigs and leads and other pieces of fishing tackle as well as being known for the vast amount of fishing information that they bring to the whole fishing community.

The thing with Korda is that if they believe if something can be done to make a piece of equipment better then they will try it, test it and if it works manufacture it. Not all of Korda developments ideas and theories turn out to work the way they thought but they still work and are constantly the best on the market. If there is a better product on the market then Korda will only act to make it better and not allow anything to be made cheaply and inefficiently. If it's not the best it will not get made.

Take for example one of their newest products on the market that Korda have produced, the hybrid bottom bait. This was supposed to be in theory a braided hooklink material coated in Flurocarbon. Basically what Korda were trying to achieve was to have the braid turn invisible when it absorbs water allowing for fish to get caught easier as they would not be able to see it. When this was in production they soon realised that it was not going to work the way that they were going about it. In the end this turned out to produce a really stiff coated hooklink. After finding this they thought that they want to go one step further as they usually do and make sure that they have the best coated material out there. So they sent their research team out and after a long time of planning, experimenting and field testing they came up with an outstanding piece that should be in all you anglers fishing tackle kits.

Korda take existing methods of fishing and extend it further all the way to the top so that the product is the absolute essential for all anglers, they have developed the best products in so many different areas. You could say that they all think exactly like fish when they go about creating their products, because they produce the goods and make them work so that the fish will either not notice the big hook waiting to get them or they will notice to big juicy bait and still go for it.

Another section that Korda are leading developers in is the Fishing Hooks part, After however many years put together that these expert anglers have spent on the banks, their hook creations have been created using all of their knowledge in fishing. The hooks are created exactly how they are needed with different specs for different types of fishing.

Remember that when you buy Korda products you know that you are in safe hands and believe it now or wait until you see it in action, their products and fishing information is all you really need to get your fishing to a very, very high standard

How to Rig and Fish Using Berkley Soft Baits

Berkley does not stop with just creating and selling baits. They also make a point of ensuring that all their soft baits are a great value for money by having them tested by some of the top fishing professionals in the world. Because of the meticulous processing and testing of their baits, it is no wonder why more and more anglers are using and approving this for your fishing trips.

Everyone's talking about the new light emitting Esca Lures.

Now that you have a background on what the hype about Berkley baits is all about, it's time to learn how to properly rig and use them for your fishing adventures. Begin rigging your gulp baits by tying a hook that is slightly smaller than that of your chosen bait. By doing a clinch knot, tie the hook just a few inches below the tip of your rod. Take your rigged soft baits along with the hook and thread it through in a downward motion in order to allow the barb to emerge just below the bait and pointing towards your rod. For smaller baits, you can rig two or more at the same time to both sides of the hook. For other types of Berkley soft baits, you can also try to look up the net on how they can be rigged.

When rigging them, keep in mind that the kind of jig head being used can ultimately affect the performance of your gulp baits. There are various types of jig heads and each of these causes your soft baits to move differently when already in the water. Another thing to keep in mind is to always ensure that your baits sufficiently covers your hook. By doing this you are disguising the hook thus ensuring that once the fish bites on to your bait the hook will be able to successfully pierce through the fish's mouth. Once you're done rigging, you may now proceed with your fishing activities.

Fishing is a great activity for anyone, but it can easily become disappointing especially if you will not be able to get a good catch. And a good catch is almost always dependent with the type of fishing equipment and tools you use. Berkley soft baits are among the easiest to use and they have a good reputation to back up their claim of increasing your catch rate simply by using their baits. True enough, with their advanced scent and delectable flavor any fish will keep coming back in case you don't get them in the first bite.

Berkley Power Worms Review

Berkley Power worms are not just any old jelly worm, for sea fishing these have to be some of the best jelly worms on the market. They come in packs of 10 and have a coating of Berkley power bait scent formula which seems to give the edge over other types of jelly's. These have been a very effective lures for Pollack and Bass in the UK as well as other predatory fish around the world. The most productive color seems to be the Hotails, black over a hot colored tail. You can fish these worms in all manner of styles, off a boat or cast from the shore. The simplest method is to slide a weight up the main line followed by a 5mm bead, swivel then tie a 12inch hook length followed by a jelly worm hook or a long Aberdeen. This method is great for off the rocks!

To thread the worm on the hook start by inserting the hook point into the tip of the worm and work the worms body down over the shank until it is about two thirds down, then bring the hook point out of the power worms body. You want the worm to sit parallel to the hook with little or no kinks in the body as this will effect the worms action. Another great method is to just push the hook through the middle of the worm, this creates a random unnatural movement that some fish seem to find irresistible due to the distressed action of the worm.

Power worms seem to be a strong favorite among anglers over the years and they are still sure catchers today.

Berkley Gulp Alive Baits - My Review of Fishing With Berkley Gulp Lures

I have done some of my best fishing in years when I discovered Berkley Gulp Alive baits. I have always had good luck with the line of Power Baits that Berkley developed many years ago, but I was truly surprised with the results I was getting when using the new Gulp Alive brand of baits.

I have always enjoyed the thrill of fishing with artificial lures, mostly because you stand a much better chance of getting a good size fish to hit an artificial lure, and I normally leave live bait fishing to my kids so they can catch Pan Fish all day long. But perhaps my one complaint using artificial lures was the amount of times I would miss a fish due to a short strike where I could not set the hook in time.

It is with this in mind that I set out one afternoon last fall with a new can of Berkley Gulp Alive leeches and twister tails. I rigged them up and proceeded to fish areas that I know hold large bass. What ensued was one of my better days on the water in quite some time. For some reason the new formula of these baits really encourages fish to hold on to them for much longer periods of time. I was not getting short strikes, and in fact, had ample time to set hooks on hit each.

My only complaint is the fish had a tendency to swallow the bait rather quickly, making hook retrieval an adventure every time. A good set of needle nose pliers, though, and I was able to successfully catch and release double digit bass in one afternoon of fishing action.

Berkley Powerbait For Trout Fishing Review

Berkley Powerbait lures are one of the best types of Rainbow Trout lures on the market, so it's no surprise they are a popular pick for anglers all over the country. Powerbait is available in several different formats; some of the most popular are Berkley Gulp! Dough Trout Bait and Dough Trout Nuggets, Berkley Powerbait 3 inch Trout Worms, and Berkley 2 inch Power Minnows.

Everyone's talking about the new light emitting Esca Lures.

As with any type of trout lure, it's important to use Berkley Powerbait with the right equipment for trout fishing. A short, lightweight, and nimble rod and reel combo will provide the most success. Make sure that your rod is no longer than five feet and that your line is four pound test at the heaviest.

Berkley Gulp! Dough Trout Bait and Berkley Gulp! Dough Trout Nuggets are very similar products. The Dough Trout Nuggets are sold in preformed dough balls, while the Dough Trout Bait is a large wad of dough sold in a jar that allows its users to create their own dough balls and control the size of the bait. Both types of dough bait come in a variety of vibrant colors, such as orange and chartreuse. The best way to fish using Berkley Dough Trout Bait is to use an 8 or 10 sized hook with a portion of the bait molded onto it. A small egg sinker will provide appropriate weight to your line.

You can also use a small egg sinker with Berkley 2 Inch Power Minnows and Berkley Powerbait 3 Inch Trout Worms. Both these baits can be attached to a jig head or used as trout bait. The Power Minnows should be attached to the hook through the head. The worms can be hooked about two inches from the end. If you are using the Trout Worms, flicking your pole every couple minutes will help give the illusion of a sinking worm.

One drawback to using Berkley Powerbait is that some trout streams have restrictions against using scented bait. You will need to make sure what the regulations are for your fishing locales before heading out into the water.

There are even more types of Berkley Powerbait than the ones mentioned above. If you have Never Used Powerbait before, give some of these trout lures a try and you will soon identify your favorites.

Berkley Gulp Alive - Catching Surprise Smallmouth Bass

I am going to tell you a fascinating story about something I never thought would happen when using Berkley gulp alive. You will want to read this, for it will benefit you in your fishing success, as it has me tremendously. If you like to catch a lot of big fish, then what I am about to tell you will benefit you now.

I was on a lake that i have Never Fished before but was told it had nice over sized walleyes, so my eyes lit up and off to the lake I went. It was about a 2000 acre lake, and what I like to do is jump from point to point as great way to find fish. After i had caught 7 or 8 very large walleyes, I hooked onto a fish that gave me a much better battle. I thought I had a monster walleye on as I was using large crank baits, but after about a five minute battle I landed it, and it was a huge bronze back!

I was shocked to see a small jaw on this big crank bait, as small mouth tend like smaller lures than walleye. All I had was crank baits and jigs and so I cast my crank bait out for another half hour or so and was not catching any small jaws or walleye, but I knew the small mouth were there somewhere - I asked myself what to do?

I was panicking a little, but then it hit me: I have jigs and Berkley gulp alive minnows and leeches in my box! So I tied on a 1/4 ounce jig and put a gulp minnow on and immediately I was into my favorite fish: Mr. Bronze Back. For a period of several hours I was catching quality small mouth bass, until my arms were s sore I had to stop.

The point is the small jaws were there all along and I knew it. I was just cranking through them with crank baits, and then when I switched baits, it was an amazing transformation. And those minnows were not like live bait that you have to change every time you catch a fish. I bet I only went through 7or 8 Gulp lures in three hours of catching large bronze backs.

Some guys in a boat that were watching this asked me: "What in the world are you doing to catch all those big tail jumpers, this lake is not known for small mouth in the first place?"

I showed them the Berkley gulp alive and said they had seen it before but did not think much about trying it until now. That was one of day" I will never forget "and there have been many days like that since, in rivers, lakes and reservoirs!

Berkley Urban Spirit Rod Review

The all new Berkley Urban spirit rod is a fully adjustable rod that allows you to extend the handle grip for extra rod length. This series of rods are designed for maximum casting ability for both plugging and spinning for Bass both here in the UK and overseas. The rod itself is made from IM7 Carbon complete with Fuji Alconite guides and a Hi-Grade EVA handle. With a price tag of under £90 it is a great buy for all sea and freshwater anglers and makes a very good all rounder in you rod artillery.

The performance is very good indeed for the money, there are no corners cut with these models as the IM7 blank performance really pushes through no matter what length you set the rod up to. If you are a keen plugging or soft plastic fisherman then this rod has superb action without losing control over plugs when combined with Braid. I tested the rod off the rocks in my coastal area and even for hard fighting 5lb Wrasse this rod still has the pulling power to pump them up from the depths and through thick weed.

The adjustable handle allows you to extend at full length for great distance or short for easy one handed underarm casts. The handle has a ruler which is marked in approx one centimeter increments for easy adjustment. The rod comes with a handy Custom Made carry holdall bag with a padded adjustable strap for easy transport and manufactured from a light robust material to reduce traveling weight.

If you spin a rod, can you get an oversized bearing rather than replace the rod?

I have a spun rod bearing in a 97 eagle talon and I wanted to know if I could just have the rod and crank machined and polished and then put in an oversized bearing rather than buying an undersized connecting rod.
It IS a tsi and I have every intention of completely rebuilding it but a set of connecting rods looks like it will cost more than the rebuild kit with pistons and all. The root cause was most likely material in the oil cause by balance shaft failure.

It depends on the root cause of the spun bearing. A spun bearing can be caused by oil starvation (oil pump failure, sludge, etc), a warped or broken crank shaft, an elongated hole in the big end of the connecting rod, or a twisted connecting rod. A thorough disassembly, de-gunking, and inspection of your short block is in order. At that point you will know what parts need to be machined and/or replaced.

As other responders have noted, you are going to be rebuilding this engine.
