is it possible to catch a smart carp with fake lure? + turtle sightings

While seeking pan fish, I encounter a school of Carp passing nearby, and I decide to use Strike King 1/32 oz jighead and tip it with a Mini Tail tube lure by Creme. Can I get a reaction bite from the elusive carp with an artificial bait? Watch and find out in this special episode of sight fishing. Plus, in this video, there are a couple of turtle sightings!

first fish of spring and it’s a biggie! (can my new 2-piece rod pull in a carp?)

I got a new rod for the new season, the St. Croix travel rod, and I test it out to see if it can handle a big Carp. Let’s see if is strong enough. Plus, wildlife, life a muskrat and turtles, come out from hibernation! I see a beautiful eagle too!

video: catch a winter big carp challenge + chatty blackbirds

This episode is filmed in the Winter which can be tough for fishing in general. It is a 48-degree day, and I challenge myself to try to catch a Carp, which are a big-sized fish, from my canoe. Can I catch a carp with stealth, persistence and a lot of patience? Check out my video :)

Plus, I see a cluster of noisy blackbirds in the trees.

video: tale of two tiny lures, each catch a big fish

Here is a bonus video from the recent Fall. I do canoe/kayak fishing, during which I used two tiny baits. One bait is a new Mini Chatterbait from Z-Man, and the other is a piece of Berkley Nightcrawler on a dropshot hook. Each one catches big coldwater fish, including my personal best Largemouth Bass!

In this video, I do my best impression of David Attenborough, from the Blue Planet series. I do narration to create a story-like effect. Let me know how much you like my British accent!

video: can a 2-piece travel rod withstand a powerful fish? + eagle birds abound!

While canoe/kayak fishing, I put Fenwick Eagle 2-Piece rod to the test to see if I can pull in a powerful fish. The quality spinning rod is medium fast with excellent feedback, but how is its strength? I hope to catch a bass, but I end up fighting a fish that is even stronger, heavier and quite possibly my personal best in weight!

Plus, I get a sighting of several Bald Eagles, flying, perched and… walking?!

Check out my video, and enjoy.

Thank you for watching everybody!

video: spinner entices pike to bite

The classic and old reliable lure for catching Northern Pike is the Inline Spinner “Black Fury” by Mepps. Once you hook onto an aggressive Pike, get ready for a long battle. There is no guarantee you will land the strong predatory fish but the big treble hook gives you a fighting chance.

In this video, there is good news and bad news. The bad news: I catch a pike with the spinner, but then lose it. The good news: I get a second chance!
