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!

video: reins shaker bait from japan test + i do a park clean up

Do you collect so many lures and baits that you lose track of them? Well, I found a 3-inch soft plastic, at the bottom of my tackle box, that is called the Shaker, by Reins, a Japanese company. I originally acquired the bait, a year ago, from a fishing show. I take it out canoe/kayak fishing for a test to see if it can attract any fish.

Plus, in my video, my friends and I do a park clean up, to give back to nature and the community.

Check out my quick test of the imported lure in my video! Happy 4th of July everybody!

Thank you for watching everybody!

bite-sized fishing: find multi-species on a rainy day

It has been a very rainy Spring and on a drizzly overcast day, the fish are hiding from another oncoming storm. As I am tired of waiting for a sunny day, I take the challenge to locate fish, from my canoe/kayak, and end up getting small fish, but it is multi-species fun action! Plus, while on the water, I love seeing turtles, and I get pretty close to an eagle.

Check out my video and enjoy!

paddling with a friend & find jumbo yellow perch

Recently, I catch big healthy Yellow Perch in crystal clear waters of a mountain lake. The Yellow Perch I catch in urban waters are much smaller in comparison. Today, I find fish by using my Humminbird Fishin Buddy. I use the Ned Rig and feel bites, then switch to the dropshot.

Check out my video!

Plus, I show off the Humminbird fish finder to my paddling friend and she is impressed by it. Join us in our little adventure.

Thank you for watching everybody!

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: 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: 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!

video: small vs big lure challenge

Which lure catches more fish, a small or big crankbait? I do a personal challenge by using both a micro Bagley Rattlin Honey B and a Rapala BX Brat, and see which gets more Bass and Bluegill. Note: This is not a scientific test, but just having a fun activity while fishing.

Check out my video challenge!

video: telescoping travel rod

Fishing rods are very long and can be cumbersome to carry around. Have no fear, I found a rod that is collapsible and portable. This 7-foot long Telescoping Rod by Kastking can pack down to under 22 inches! I originally got it so that I can travel more easily on a plane because the rod fits nicely in your luggage. However, with the virus scare going on, I am not planning to fly anytime soon. So, now I just use the travel rod more locally. It is nice to just stash it in the car and be ready whenever I feel like going to a nearby pond.

Check out my test and review video :)

Also, in the video, I encounter a young Raccoon, while I am canoeing. The little raccoon is interested in me. He stares and keeps scratching. Itchy are we?

video: paddling with gopro camera test

Hey everybody! In a previous outdoor video, I had tested the GoPro Hero 8 Black while biking. This time, I try it out while canoe paddling. I test the video quality, image stabilization and waterproof features of the action camera. While on the water, I catch (and release) a big bass.

Is the small but expensive gadget worth the price? Watch the camera in action in my video. Enjoy!
