Hi fellow anglers, fishing enthusiasts and AMFishers, this blog post is about the tin can that started my massive passion for fishing! Who knew a tin can filled with some spinnerbaits could have that massive of an affect on me as a youngster, but it sure did! I grew up with parents who were not very into the outdoors outside a couple of camping trips per year, so I am pretty sure fishing and the outdoors was just part of who I was and who I wanted to be in life.

Hi AMFisHers! I have been working on this blog post for the last several weeks, as it is a key part to why many anglers and fellow #AMFisHers out there are not catching as many fish as they should be. This blog post is about understanding how to stay on a fish bite for an extended period of time. What I mean by this is many anglers with catch a fish on a spot, stay a little longer with no bites then move off the spot. Well this is where the mistake has been made, taking time

Hi AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(LEARN more here: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about fishing structure at dusk. You don’t always need to get to the lake for 5am, as fish are always eating, yes there are fish always eating somewhere on the lake, it’s not like they have a gathering to eat together! Considering dusk is my most favorite time to fish because most people have left for the day and it’s a nice low key wrap up to a fishing day. But having said that I have caught many

Hi AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH(LEARN more: http://www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about practicing your casting, flipping and pitching on and off the water: Some say practice makes you perfect, I just say it makes you a whole lot better at whatever the task at hand is.

Hi AMFisHers! This AMFisH(LEARN more: www.amfish.ca) fishing vlog is about how to deal with a lot of top water fish strikes that are missed: If a fish strikes your top water bait and misses, it will usually chase it down for one more attack on the next cast, BUT if you start getting miss after miss all the signs start pointing to casting out a slow presentation bait right after the missed strikes in that area.  There are various slow presentations baits you can try in this ty

Hi AMFisHers! This weeks AMFisH fishing vlog(Learn more here: http://www.amfish.ca) is about increasing the size of your baits as the season progresses: In the very early months bait fish and forage are at their smallest and grow steadily throughout the season.
