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.

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: fish play hide & seek in fall (can you guess where fish are?) + deer bucks lock horns

In my latest Bite-sized Fishing episode, Panfish like to play Hide and Seek in the late Fall. While Canoe/Kayak Fishing, I cast light tackle to different kinds of structure with a real worm and artificial bait. Can you guess which spots are holding fish?

Plus, I encounter a couple of young male deer and they put on a show for me. The bucks lock horns!

video: are fish around on a cold windy day? (+ horde of starlings & a double rainbow!)

When I began fishing as a youngling, I always wondered if fish hide for cover from the bad weather. In this episode, I challenge myself to catch fish on a cold, windy, overcast day, in the fall time. I use the good old live nightcrawler with the intent to catch Carp, which taunt me, but I get surprised by catching a nice-sized White Perch and a Big Bass in a shallow flat part of the lake.

Plus, as a birdwatcher, I like seeing so many Starling birds, feeding and flying in a cluster, this time of year. And I am blessed with a double rainbow in the end!

video: relaxing fall canoe/kayak fishing & leaf peeping

In this Bite-Sized Fishing episode, I cast for various panfish, using a 3-inch Grub by Yum. The fish are modest in size, but all-in-all it is a perfect day to paddle and do some leaf peeping because there is no wind and the water is so calm. I slow things down and enjoy nature, creating a sort of ASMR video to share with you. Check out my outdoor video and let me know what you think.

In addition to the beauty of autumn colors, I see a Piper bird, a Blue Heron and maybe the last Turtle of the year?

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.

drawing: my cat mochi

It’s a lazy day at the cabin. The autumn leaves are starting to change here in the Upstate New York mountains. A bit too chilly to go paddling because of a cold front. So I am bonding with my cat, Mochi, and doing a little drawing of her. I have to say that it is nice to get back to my artwork.

If you would like to see my drawings, please feel free to check out my shop at www.designosaurus.etsy.com

Have a nice early fall day!

video: real or fake worm for biggest fish? + the starling migration

In this episode of my Bite-sized Fishing series, I only have a limited time to go canoe/kayak fishing before sunset. I try using real and fake worms to catch whatever will bite this late Fall, in this quick personal challenge. Which bait will catch the biggest fish? Watch my video and find out!

Plus, my backyard is over-populated by a horde of migrating Starling birds! There are so many that they start attacking my bird feeder.

video: in fall, fish habits change and so should your fishing approach

Fall time is tricky because fishing patterns are different due to the big drop in water temperature. If you find fish movement is different, then so should your plan of attack too. Keep changing your approach and location until you find out what the fish want and where they are.

I have a slow start to my canoe/kayak fishing outing, but eventually break from my own comfort zone. In the end, I am happy to get a nice Chain Pickerel and some Bass, small and big.

Also, in this video, I meet some carp fishermen and help them get their gear back. And just in time for Halloween, I find a strange-looking Praying Mantis!
