catch catfish with plastic baits (+road trip with pet cats)

Most fishermen use chopped bait for catching catfish, but I like to use plastic baits by Berkley because it works, it is easier to handle and it is not as messy. I cast for bottom feeders in the river from my canoe. During this getaway, I travel with my pet cats and show you a place that is nice for those who are cat lovers, the furry kind, that is.

i try out fenwick 3-piece rod on trip + visit family vlog

During a trip to see family, I carry the Fenwick Eagle 3-Piece Fishing Rod and use it for saltwater fishing. I try to catch a big fish for my father’s birthday but fail. However, I do catch a new species called Surf Perch, the smallest Fluke ever, and a nice Rock Cod. How does the travel rod handle and is it worth carrying around? Please feel free to check out my video!

Plus, I share a few quick family highlights because, well… this is a trip to see my father, my brother and nephew, after all :)

video: road trip to the shore, catch flounder & enjoy relaxing ocean waves

It is summertime, so let’s take a road trip to the shore. I am normally a freshwater fisherman, so it is a treat for me to catch a saltwater fish and new species, the Summer Flounder, also known as Fluke. I apply the same light tackle gear I use for bass and pan fish to fish off a pier (during both high tide and low tide). Check out this special saltwater edition of my video.

Plus, in this video, enjoy a walk on the beach and take in the beauty of ocean waves.

video: tiny broken bait still catches multi-species fish

Artificial baits fall apart after awhile from fighting fish, naturally. Baits are not cheap. I dislike losing money AND wasting lures, so I continue to use the broken grub. Not every bait has to have a curly tail to catch fish. In this episode, I demonstrate how effective a tiny piece of grub can still catch multi-species and a big bass! Check my video!

Plus, in the end, enjoy the purple dusk sky and moon peaking through the clouds.

seek first bass of the year, a young raccoon and here comes the rain

In Spring, it is great time to fish for spawning species such as White Perch and Largemouth Bass. I go canoe fishing in hopes to catch the big ones by using hard baits, including the Rapala Rippin Rap, Johnson Beetle Spin and Yozuri Jerkbait. Plus, I see a cute young raccoon that is exploring the river’s edge, and then the rainstorm comes. Check out my latest video!

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: are there fish in a dead shallow canal?

In this episode of my Bite-sized Fishing series, I wonder if there are fish in an urban shallow dead canal. I toss a tiny jig with a fake worm to see if there is anything down there. Also in this video, I am surrounded by a variety of birds, big frogs and a turtle, enjoying life near the water.

Plus, I see a cluster of noisy blackbirds in the trees.
