video: tiny broken bait still catches multi-species fish
June 19, 2022

Artificial baits fall apart after awhile from fighting fish, naturally. Baits are not cheap. I dislike losing money AND wasting lures, so I continue to use the broken grub. Not every bait has to have a curly tail to catch fish. In this episode, I demonstrate how effective a tiny piece of grub can still catch multi-species and a big bass! Check my video!
Plus, in the end, enjoy the purple dusk sky and moon peaking through the clouds.

video: fall panfishing artificial worm: short or long bait? + painted turtles hang out
November 15, 2021

On this warmish Autumn day, I do canoe/kayak fishing for panfish. I test which bait performs better, a short Powerbait Floating Trout Worm (1.5 inches) or a long Reins Shaker worm (2.5 inches). The trick is to find out what the fish want, from day to day. Watch what happens in my video as I try both worms out.
Plus, I see several happy Painted Turtles enjoying this Indian Summer Day in the Fall time.

video: the curious snapping turtle & bluegill hiding in heavy cover
September 20, 2020

At a small creek, I carefully cast my line around heavy tree cover to find aggressive Bluegill. Then, later, in the video, I test out the Berkley Powerbait Trout Worm, fake lure presentation, to see if it entices bites from fish. Am I able to catch anything in a shallow stream? Watch and find out :)
I have to abbreviate the fun due to an oncoming rainstorm and dangerous thunder. However, before that, I get nice underwater footage of a young Snapping Turtle that is curious about my camera and fishing activity. I never thought I would say that a Snapper is cute. But this turtle is truly cute!
Check out my video.
