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

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.

From Small To Big Multi-Species Fishing Fun (with a Monster Bass!)

When I go canoe/kayak fishing, I usually have a plan to start small and work my way to bigger fish. I couldn’t have planned it better myself because I catch Bluegill, a Crappie, a Channel Catfish, each being bigger than the last fish. And then end on a lunker of a Monster Bass. Happy Halloween everybody!

In this video, I feature my Largemouth Bass drawing. If you are interested to see more of my artwork, please check out My Shop.

video: can power grubs catch panfish? + a white pekin duck

While canoe fishing, I test out the Berkley Powerbait Power Grubs 2-inch, in white color. Can I catch Panfish with the bait, or is it too big?

Plus, I see a White Pekin Duck that is a rare sight in my local park, let alone my area. Watch the duck and it’s sexy waddle!

Check out my test of this versatile artificial lure in my video!

video: multi-species, bullhead fishing fun & how to handle catfish safely

In this Bite-Sized Fishing episode, I use different fishing techniques for multi-species such as White Perch, Bluegill and Catfish. I show you how to hold a Catfish safely, because they can stab you with their fins. Plus, I remove someone’s old discarded fishing line from the lake. Enjoy!

video: attacked by cicadas while fishing (just kidding)

While canoe fishing at a new lake, I encounter the Brood X Cicadas! Some people are afraid of these creepy little critters, but they are actually harmless and friendly! Let’s take a closeup look at the amazing bugs that only appear every 17 years, and then go fishing!

Check out my video and enjoy!

video: will fish eat the smallest bait ever – fake maggots?

I found a jar of bait that looked interesting. It contained the smallest bait I ever saw, Maggots that are foamy and infused with a vinegar-type scent to attract fish.

Do you think Panfish will eat these tiny fake maggots? Watch and find out as I put them to the test while canoe/kayak fishing.

Also, in this video, I come across a passionate fisherman who used to be a guide. Plus, I include some footage of my cat who loves to watch nature on TV and look outside the window.

video: catch 3 fish before sunset challenge

Do you fish whenever you can, even if there is limited time? Well, I like to go fishing, sometimes after work, so I challenge myself to try to catch at least three fish before sunset. It is Fall time, meaning the day is even shorter and I only have about an hour to achieve my goal.

Will I catch at least three fish? Check out my video and find out :)

Plus, I see one of the last Monarch Butterflies of the year, gliding in the air, enjoying life.

video: a nice variety of sunfish found with depth finder

At a beautiful pristine clear lake, which is high pressured with motor boat fishing, I use my Humminbird. The fish finder helps me target Sunfish, some micro-sized, in the very large body of water. I am able to catch a nice variety of species, including Bluegill, Longear, Pumpkinseed, Spotted and Green Sunfish. Plus, as a bonus catch, I get a Largemouth Bass, hiding in the depths.

See how I use the fish finder and check out my video.

video: the curious snapping turtle & bluegill hiding in heavy cover

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.

video: my first carp catch is by mistake!

While fishing for Bluegill and Panfish, I catch My First Carp by chance! I use a 6 1/2 foot long Fenwick Eagle 2-piece rod, 8 pound line and size 10 circle hook on a dropshot rig. I believe I am able to catch and reel in this awesome fish because I use a worm, the water is murky, and I handle it nice and slowly.

Check out my action-packed video.

As a bass fisherman, perhaps I caught lightening in a bottle? If you caught a fish in an unconventional way, let me know in the comments.
