Here is a mini adventure where I show you what it is like paddling in a Kokopelli Rogue Lite Packraft, and I try to catch fish from it (although they are tiny). Plus, there are so many birds at the lake, so let’s do some birdwatching and enjoy nature.

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!

video: winter canoe fishing before lake freeze, first catch of year & kingfisher sighting

Welcome to my Bite-sized Fishing series in the New Year! This is the latest in the winter season I try to catch Bluegill and Perch, before the lake turns to ice. Plus, I get some sightings of the awesome Kingfisher bird while on the water.

This was filmed in the week after New Years Day when there was a warmish day of 48 degrees. I brave it because there is no wind to ruin my canoeing experience. I simply use a live worm as bait because none of the fish were interested in artificial baits, this time.

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: 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!

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.

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.
