Sponsored by Princecraft As of this writing in early November, many people are now in that “shutting down” mode of the fishing season. Some like to push it until the ice skims over while others like to keep ahead of the frozen curve. Either way, eventually your fishing rig needs to be prepped for the […]

This morning, I spoke to a good friend of mine, Vic Carrao of STS Guiding in BC, to get a first-hand update on the flooding that is taking place in that part of the country, and I’ll be honest with you, I was shocked at the extent of the devastation that is taking place in […]

Angelo and Pete have put together five of their favourite Walleye fisheries in Canadian destinations. They said it was difficult to keep it down to five because Canada has so many great Walleye waters. So without further ado, in alphabetical order: BAY OF QUINTE, ONTARIO The Bay Of Quinte in Southern Ontario is one of […]

Ho, Ho, Ho and away we go! It’s that time of year again. A time to enjoy with family and friends. It’s a joyous, happy time that many look forward to. As well, Christmas/New Years is a time to reflect on your past season’s “fishing” success, whether that be good, bad, or indifferent. If you […]

In this classic tutorial—recovered from deep inside the Fish’n Canada vault—a moustachioed Pete Bowman demonstrates how to set up a Carolina Rig. “It’s as simple as you-know-what,” says Pete, “and it’ll work when all other methods fail.” Doubtful? Check out this tutorial and see just how quickly Pete’s rig attracts an aggressive Bass.

One might think that with 20, 30, maybe even 40 years of fishing under one’s belt that an angler would have some sort of idea how much line they had out during their presentation, right? Golfers know their yardages like no one else. Bowhunters are tack-on within 50 yards. Big game rifle hunters can judge […]

To run parallel to Angelo’s recent and very technical bass piece, I thought I’d tackle the question of where to find bass by providing a list of some of my favourite bass lakes to fish throughout Canada. I do realize that his article focused primarily on Largemouth Bass, but I had to include some Smallmouth […]

Sponsored By Princecraft Boats Fishing with live bait goes WAAAAAYYYY back into the early ages of fishing. Let’s face it, the idea of inventing and then using a plastic worm vs. using the real McCoy just does not sound reasonable. As well, we know how effective live bait can be. We’re fairly sure that “back […]

Sponsored By: RAM Trucks Confidence is a HUGE factor in our fishing, and not just on the water confidence. It all starts as soon as we embark on our trips to that pristine lake, river, or stream by getting behind the wheel of our truck. Whether heading north, south, east, or west, it’s a good… […]

With the incredibly exciting announcement of a three-rod regulation for the pursuit of Common Carp in Ontario, I amongst countless Ontarian Carp anglers are jubilant for this incredible opportunity. In all the excitement, I have already found myself contemplating multi-line fishing strategies for carp in what is possibly one of the most prolific fisheries in […]

One of the best ways to cook a delicious meal while out camping is to use the traditional Dutch Oven. It seems everyone that’s tried it are absolute die-hard fans. However, campers that haven’t cooked a meal with one generally question if it’s worth the weight and bulk. I generally use my Dutch Oven during […]

Maybe I shouldn’t have cleaned my gear shed. Finding a camp mug I’d used back in days of my high school “outers club,” or watching VHS tapes of past camping trips, really got me thinking. It’s obvious that things change. It’s a natural process. Heck, twenty years ago I had a mullet and wore John […]

We as anglers really love our “stuff”. Be it gear, gadgets, the latest & greatest, whatever it may be, our equipment is awesome. Of course, we never know what to get and if there is a bit of a budget constraint (should I buy this cool new what-cha-ma-jigger or maybe food for the family… hmmm… […]

You have taken your hard-earned dollars and invested them into that beautiful, black shiny outboard motor on the back of your boat. Well done. So now, do you just let it do its thing all on its own? Well to an extent yes, however, a bit of maintenance and a lot of TLC can go […]

True camp coffee is nothing but real grounds-and-water-in-the-pot coffee. Bring water to a rolling boil, take it off the heat source, dump in one generous tablespoon of coffee grounds per cup of water, and let it steep (covered) alongside the campfire for approximately five to ten minutes. To settle the grounds, tap a spoon on […]

If you have been following Angelo and me on our seemingly never-ending deep dive into fishing electronics, you’ve most certainly seen our enthusiasm towards Garmin’s Panoptix LiveScope technology. It’s no secret that this game-changing technology has completely floored us. And now, it has taken the entire fishing industry by storm. I’m not going to gab […]

During this crazy summer of 2020, I had a rare chance to get together with my long-time fishing buddy, tournament fishing partner, public and high school pal and, of course, frequent beer-drinking cohort, Mike Burriss. This was our second get-together for the year (the first was a Smallmouth Bass slaying we did on Lake Ontario), and I’m […]
