will humminbird finder help locate any panfish in wintertime?

In the middle of Winter, fish are hard to find. I take the advantage one warm-ish day to challenge myself to catch at least three panfish with the help of the Humminbird finder. Can I catch anything? Check out my video adventure.

Plus, let’s enjoy the first snowfall of the year, with my cat.

abu garcia revo reel for bass test / let’s bike in autumn

While Canoe Fishing, I try something different, by testing if I can catch at least one nice largemouth bass with the new Abu Garcia Revo. I usually use light tackle, but today, I cast with a Z-Man Chatterbait with an extra big hook. Check out the my video.

Plus, let’s enjoy biking during the peak of Autumn color leaves.

illustration: largemouth bass stickers

Hey all. It’s been a cold fall/winter but that doesn’t mean the fishing fun should stop. In my spare time, I like to draw, and I did a Largemouth Bass illustration. I made it into cool stickers. Check it out. The stickers are available for sale, in my shop. Free shipping! You can apply it to your water bottle, notebook cover or, of course, the bumper of your car. The possibilities are endless. It’s perfect as a gift for someone who enjoys fishing or simply a nature lover. Have a happy holiday!

catch a carp with light spinning tackle / paddling with my uncle

This is a double adventure episode. The first part is about how I catch a Carp while fishing for Bluegill with light tackle and my Lews TLC-3000 spinning reel. The second part is about being at a mountain lake with my uncle, who is the one who inspired me into paddling when I was young. Check out my latest video!

Plus, I want to share an update about the family of baby foxes in my backyard.

In this video, I had mentioned the following episode about how I caught a carp before.

illustration: red eared slider

If you followed me and my blog for a long time, you know I started it to share my Outdoor & Nature artwork. Over time, my blog morphed into a way to show my Outdoor, Nature & Fishing videos. Regretfully, creating videos and editing takes so much time, and so my art suffered. I hope to throttle back on videos and squeak in my art again, if I can. Essentially, I want to try to alternate and do both of my creative hobbies for my blog website, going forward. To get to the point, it has been a while since I created a drawing and posted it, so here goes.

Red-Eared Sliders are beloved gentle creatures commonly found in the fresh water lakes and rivers of North America. I depict the turtle in its favorite environment, lakeside, relaxing during the day and basking under the sunlight. This print is perfect for someone who is a turtle-lover or simply a nature-lover in general.

My turtle print is now available on Etsy, in my store. This is a 11 x 17 print of my original illustration with a 2-inch white border. The paper size is 13 x 19. Ready for framing.

The purchase of this print does not transfer reproduction rights.

is this japanese plastic bait good for panfish?

In this episode, I use a lure, imported from Japan, called the Reins Bubbling Shaker, to catch pan fish from a bridge. As a bonus, I also use the lively plastic bait from a canoe.

Check out my video.

Also in this video, I see a couple of snapping turtles. Have you ever seen snapping turtles in love? Well, it is springtime, after all. Time to get busy.

CORRECTION: I stated that the Reins Bubbling Shaker is 2 or 2 1/2 inches long, but it’s actually 3-inches long. That is quite long for a Bluegill’s mouth, but is still effective!

can my fish finder help target fall bluegill in choppy water?

On a cold and windy Fall day, I go canoe fishing for Bluegill. I use the Humminbird Fishin Buddy depth finder to help me target the elusive fish in choppy waters.

Still, it is a nice time to go fishing, enjoy the Autumn leaves, see a big family of swan, see a turtle and watch the beautiful sunset. Plus, what does my cat see? Check it all out in my video!

curse of the weedy lake fishing (halloween special) & let’s go to comic con

In this Halloween special episode, I go paddling with my friend at a lake that is beautiful, but is very weedy for fishing. I try to break THE CURSE of being skunked at this lake before, by using shallow swimming lures, including a mini chatterbait and a tiny crankbait. As a bonus, let’s watch the stunning fall foliage, shop at a local farmers market and go to New York Comicon!

Check out my special video.
