how to bike on nantucket tips & can i catch a fish on the island?

In this special travel adventure episode, I spend a long weekend on the island of Nantucket off of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, by bicycle, without a car. I share with you what I learn about the ferry transportation, some historical sites, beaches, and nice bike trails. Plus, I carry my KastKing Blackhawk II Telescopic Rod and try my best to catch a fish.

Please note: On this Nantucket trip, I brought my own bike (and backpack of personal items for overnight stay) to the island. There are bike rentals in downtown as an option, if you don’t have your own. Also, the Whaling Museum is must see in downtown, however the museum was closed on the days of my visit.

tiny berkley powerbait trout nibbles for nice bluegill AND big bass?

While canoe fishing, I try out Berkley Powerbait Trout Nibbles, in chartreuse color, for Bluegill. I am pleasantly surprised that a couple of Big Bass are interested in the tiny dough bait too! Plus, I get a sighting of a Kingfisher and American Coot birds on the lake.

red breast sunfish fun, mini plastic worm for bass test & watch the supermoon

I found 3-Inch Senkos in the bargain bin, and then they ended up lost at the bottom of my tackle box… until now. While canoe/kayak panfishing, I test out the miniature green pumpkin (brown) senkos to see if Smallmouth are interested in them. Plus, let’s enjoy the beauty of the giant Supermoon.

will sunfish go for fake grubs in stained water? + watch fireflies at dusk

Summer is almost over but fishing is still hot, and so is the weather. After a recent rainstorm, I test out the Berkley Gulp Alive Jigging Grubs to see if it can catch Bluegill in dark dirty water. Plus, let’s watch two kinds of fireworks, from the brilliance of 4th of July to the natural glow of Fireflies at dusk.

are any fish around yet in cold water? / early spring paddling with friend

As soon as a warm day arrives after a frigid winter, I take the opportunity to canoe kayak with a friend. It is early Spring, but is the water too cold to catch any fish? Check out my latest video! Plus, there are Robins exploring the grass, looking for yummy treats. The early bird catches the worm, right?

fun things to do in the finger lakes – camping, hiking, paddling, fishing & farmers market

In this special edition, I take a road trip to the Finger Lakes region of New York State. I camp in a very modern cabin that looks like a tiny house in Buttermilk Falls State Park. On this adventure, I also hike the falls, paddle in the channels of Ithaca, visit the famous Farmers Market and do tiny fishing in Cayuta Lake. Check out my video and enjoy!

drawing: giant tortoise

I’ve been meaning to draw a Galapagos Turtle for a while. Here, the Giant Tortoise finds a lone berry tree. The tree is just big enough as a snack for this big turtle’s appetite.

Please feel free to check out my other outdoor and nature drawings at my shop.

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!

A friend of mine is going away to college, and I will miss her. She is smart, bubbly and full of energy. Loves to tell me drama stories about life. But best of all, her smile is infectious.

I do a drawing to bid her farewell. She is standing at the foot of the famous Arches, because she loves to travel and to hike too. My illustration symbolizes her free-spirited attitude and to wish good luck on her new adventures.
